The absolute hottest shade this fall for makeup is a deep eggplant or aubergine. At the Fall 2010 fashion shows, we saw models with purple smokey eyes or neutral lids and a deep berry lip. But however the color was worn, it was used by many makeup artists to add extra sultriness to the makeup look.
We all love our go-to neutral makeup colors: they're the basis of our makeup collection and, like an LBD, look good no matter how bloated we feel - and look - and no matter what the occasion. But as Cyndi Lauper famously said in her song, sometimes "girls just wanna have fun."
Makeup artists often throw around terms like "cool undertones" and "warm neutrals," but when it comes to buying a foundation, most women select one by swiping it on and then wiping it off.

What happened to those carefree days in our childhood when we didn't care how we looked and slapped on our mother's makeup, completely out of the lines, drawing and doodling on our face just because it was fun? These days, putting on makeup is all about making impressions. Going to the office? Slap on some neutral, non-intimindating shadow and pretty but not too sexy lipstick. Going to the club?
