We get it. Rosh Hashanah is all about inner beauty. But reverence for the High Holidays doesn’t preclude the quest for outer beauty. Besides, with a new season getting underway, there’s no better time to sample some of the latest fall beauty trends.
Ready to go? Jmore beauty expert Ariel Lewis has the lowdown.
The Hair
On a recent visit to the West Coast, Ariel consulted with one of Cali’s most knowledgeable celebrity stylists. The dish? Bangs are all the rage, bobs are here to stay, and when it comes to hair length, medium is the new long.
The Lips
Fall’s signature shade? Plum, naturally!
Try: Tom Ford’s Bruised Plum
Fair-skinned women will make a bold statement by sporting this shade while keeping other makeup to a minimum. Deeper complexioned ladies may want to try topping Bruised Plum with some cherry-hued gloss and tracing lips with a brown pencil. Any way you wear it, this color is plum-perfect!
The Skin
Despite our best efforts at sun screening, a season of pool-hopping and beach weekends can leave delicate complexions in need of some TLC.
Try: Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel — Packettes
Made with mandelic acid and willow bark, they refine and rejuvenate skin, giving it a radiant glow and minimizing the appearance of fine lines, large pores, breakouts and dark spots.
The Nails
No time to get to the salon? This doesn’t have to be a nail-biter.
Try: Essie Gel Couture
A two-step system with nail color and topcoat, it lasts several days and even stands up to frequent hand-washing. Ariel’s go-to fall shade? Spikes with Style.
The Eyes
Pamper your delicate eye zone with a fabulous new eye cream that comes straight from Korea.
Try: Belif’s Moisturizing Eye Bomb
This rich, yet light-weight complex made with comfrey leaf and pennywort leaves skin moist and firm for more than 24 hours!
In the market for an anti-aging under-eye cream?
Try: Olay Professional Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex
Priced very competitively, this serum utilizes the same anti-aging skincare technology as many high-end brands at half the price!
