When makeup artists prepare a collection each season, they do more than consult fashion runways. A flower, a berry, the light at a special time of day and even a song can influence color choice. We asked six companies to delve into their fall color collections and show us how to use them. Check out these great autumn looks on these illustrated makeup charts.

Make Up For Ever: Cosmopolitan Look

by By Allison Harriet

Makeup artist Wendy Karcher created a composition of colors meant to brighten the face during the cold, bleak months ahead. The eye-catching colors of her collection will pop against the blacks and deep brown shades we'll see in stores this season. Here she shows a look dominated by a unique red-orange lip, which she calls "Fire and Amber."

Here's what Wendy Karcher used from Make Up For Ever:
Eyes:

  • #101 Eye Shadow
  • #122 Eye Shadow applied wet with liner brush
  • #1 Kohl Pencil
  • #1 Volume Mascara
  • Brow Pencil in Blonde

    • Cheeks:

  • #136 Powder Blush

    • Lips:

  • #40 Lip Pencil applied to entire lip area
