One of my favorite makeup looks this fall is the balanced face. Equal definition on lips and eyes looks sophisticated, sexy and polished. Trend #2: Balanced Definition Goes well with: Elegant day wear (think Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss); or skinny jeans tucked into knee length boots. Our take:

• Start with a flawless complexion. Apply Dream Tint Tinted Moisturizerwith the Blending Brush.
• Blush the cheeks softly with In Touch Cream Blush.
• Next, apply PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation with the Handi Brush and mist face gently with Hydration Spray.
• Now for the eyes. Choose a PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple: apply the lightest shade to the lid, the medium shade to the crease and the darkest shade to the outer corner. Lift the eye a bit by winging up ever so slightly.
• Line the eyes with a coordinating shade of an Eye Pencil. Since I am horribly eyeliner-challenged, I always use the Detail Brush, picking up color from an eye pencil and applying it to the lash line with the brush. I get a smoother application and it gently blends and smudges it all at once.
• Finish the eyes with PureLash Lash Extender&Conditionerand several coats of Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascarain Black Ice
• To create a softly defined lips: Line and fill in the lips with a Lip Penciland top with a coordinating shade of PureGloss Lip Gloss.
