It may be 88 degrees out, but fall is in the air. I just wanted to give you a preview of the fall trends. I'm talking about bold, statement-making hues for face, nails and hair. Color was big last spring, but it's even stronger for fall with rich purples and warm aubergines; shimmering coppers, golds and bronzes; and especially popular are greens and navies. Rich, jeweled tones are definitely the rage for fall and were inspired not only by the luxury looks that were all over the fall runways, but also the styles showcased in big summer blockbuster movies. This year, it's all about fashion influencing makeup. The 80's are back and it's all about dramatic makeup, big eyelashes and bigger hair. The key words for hair this season are BIG, BOLD and WARM. Runways showcased free-falling, unkempt looks-think more teasing and backcombing, airy curls and texture. . . it's a natural progression from the summer beach look. Shorter hairstyles embrace textured bowl cuts--today's versions have a very graphic, 60's look-- and undercuts. Hair colors are warm--rich dimensional reds incorporating three and four shades, warm blond hues such as caramel, gold and strawberry. Headbands are making a comeback also.

A big powerful brow will be the No. 1 accessory for fall 2010 and as for lashes, they are bold and dialed up. Visit us and we can give you some makeup tips on how to fill brows in and also how to best amp up the volume on those eyelashes--either with lash extensions or you can pre-order the soon to be launched Aveda Volumizing Mascara. Also, check out our recently launched Aveda eye makeup collection--our talented makeup artists can show you how do do an illuminated version of the smokey eye--very new and hot for fall. Shimmery eyeliners in copper, bronze and gold are all the rage. We have them. If you want to brighten your smokey eye, this is the way to do it with hints of metallic in the inner corners. Modern layers are hot for cheeks this fall. Mix bronzer and brightener for a multidimensional layer effect

Autumn nail trends echo the casual yet luxurious looks that defined the runway. For nails, it's all about dimensional manicures. . . nails will take their cue from striking blue-greens, effervescent reds and offbeat beiges, camels and grays. Similar to the makeup palette, rich shades are everywhere. The decadent selections from OPI's Swiss collection include blue Yodel Me on My Cell, The Color to Watch--a lilac that pops and Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous-a stunning pewter. Texture continues to have a presence--we have topcoats to impart a matte finish and also suede finish polishes. Metallics and creams are important this season. Zoya's Wicked (metallics) and Wonderful (creams) fall collections are already in and each features six hues.

So enjoy the last few weeks of summer and stop in to let our experts show you what's hot for the upcoming season and let us add our Beautiful Touch to your fall look.
