As a Fashion Editor, one of my jobs was to organize a team of creative people that, together, made it possible to produce a successful publication. Sara Saltanovitz quickly became one of my favorite hair stylists & makeup artists to work with,helping us to produce countless fashion spreads.  Sara has agreed to, over the next few weeks, share her vision and expertise in the world of hair and makeup with us, as my new Guest Blogger!  

So stay tuned people - Sara really knows her stuff!

Fall's Chicest Makeup Accessory

This fall Old Hollywood makeup is the craze; think Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. This look was seen gracing countless runways, such as Gucci, Christian LaCroix and Yves Saint Laurent.

To achieve this look give your skin a radiant complexion by mixing a dot of either Borghese or Armani brightening with your foundation and or moisturizer and apply all over face and lids.  Your skin will never go out of style with this look of clean and radiant!

As for your eyes this can be a little tricky using liquid liner. So to make it easier use a black liner as a base then go over it with liquid liner on top of it.  Line the top lid of the eyes as close as possible to the lashes.  Then take black liquid liner and go over the pencil eyeliner sweeping it up and outward to the corner of the eye.  This will give you the "cat-eyed" look.  

There are many liquid liners available from matte to shinny finishes so go to the department store and try all different brands on your hand to determine the finish you like and also what applicator feels comfortable to you.

Bold lips painted Red is a must for this fall look.  Now you need to decide what shade of red is right for you.  Fair complexions should wear a true red, medium complexions wear warm shades with a red/+orange base and for dark skin, burgundy 
is best.

Be sure to wear plenty of mascara to create a dramatic effect. My new obsession is Fiberwig (paint on false lashes) available at Sephora. Don't forget to keep your brows full by using a brow powder or wax color to give them extra thickness.
