Fall Color Inspiration: Oxblood

Sharon Becker SB Beauty in Oxblood Jacket
Oxblood is one of the hottest color trends of Fall 2012 because it is so wearable. The rich color automatically triggers thoughts of autumn leaves and hot toddies (or is that me?). There are simple ways to incorporate it into your beauty routine and wardrobe without looking like a trend slave.

 

Here are a few ideas (clockwise from top left):
-Nails! Julep is a new brand of toxin-free nail polish, and Keira is the shade you want to try for the oxblood look.

 

-Power lipstick: Nars Pure Matte Lipstick in Volga (oh, the drama!). Keep the rest of your face simple with great skin, groomed brows, and tons of black mascara.

 

-Those who see me often know that I love my skins. Faux leather jeans in the hottest trend color of the season (and an awesome neutral) are a solid investment for freelancers and weekend warriors alike.

-YSL Glossy Stain in Brun Glasse: normally I don’t advocate spending big money on color, but this lip gloss is gorgeous, flattering, and will make you feel fab when you pull it out of your purse to apply. Sounds like a party to me!

-Makeup Forever Aqua Liner in Diamond Burgundy: slide on your upper lid, over a neutral shadow. Low maintenance, long-wearing, and gives any eye color a pop.

I’ve personally enjoyed oxblood for many years – here’s a goofy pic of me wearing my oxblood leather “denim” jacket in front of the Coliseum during my Roman holiday a few years ago.

If you’re getting married, or you just want to look insanely gorgeous for anything important in your life, please see Sharon.  Sharon is like your best friend who happens to know how to make you look like a model. Sharon and her assistant beautified myself, my mother and the entire bridal party (8 ladies altogether) – each and every girl told me how much they loved her and their look. I have very sensitive skin and am very picky with my makeup; Sharon only uses the best products and customizes everything to make your look unique. Through tears, sweat, rain and dancing like a maniac, my makeup stayed perfectly. I was very sad to wash it off at the end of the night, but I have beautiful pictures to remind me how amazing we all looked thankfully. 🙂

Sharon is a fabulous makeup artist. Being that I’m a wedding photographer and a girl who happens to think she knows a little about makeup, Sharon really has that professional edge that is just impossible to replicate. She is super professional and really rocked it on our wedding day. My mom also loved her makeup and looked and felt amazing after her makeup was done… she was glowing and the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. I’ve worked with many makeup artists, and Sharon is a gem. I highly recommend! xoxo

Sharon is talented, organized, patient, hard-working, and calm; she listens carefully to her clients, executes any desired look perfectly, and does an all-around incredible job. I could not have felt more beautiful on my wedding day, and that is largely thanks to Sharon’s exquisite work. My six bridesmaids and all of my family members adored working with Sharon as well… I could not recommend Sharon more highly!

I was the bride who had not spent her entire childhood planning her dream wedding. Other vendors were a piece of cake through connections I already had, but makeup was not one of them. I have combination skin and various allergies and I was nervous. I turned to a friend who was married at the same venue. SB Beauty was recommended and as soon as I met Sharon I knew why. She’s classy, has a sense of humor and has a personality that can calm anyone down (she did my mom’s make-up too). She gives great advice about pre-wedding prep as well as day of.

I’m still so blown away by how supportive you were the day(s) of our wedding. Your zen played a huge role in keeping me calm when I was told the wedding was cancelled and it means so much you did everything to be there the second day. Not to mention, you touched up all of the girls out of the goodness of your heart even though it really wasn’t part of our plan. Your kindness and talent are reminders that the most important thing when choosing a vendor is that they will support you when all else fails!
