fall beauty tips

The traditional colors of autumn might be the reds, yellows and oranges of the falling leaves, but when it comes to color cosmetics, the season is bursting with deep greens, purples and browns.

Some of the new colors and products from makeup manufacturers include:

Cover Girl Twilighting Collection's Outlast Shimmers Shade Enhancing Top Coat in colors such as amethyst, crystal, quartz and topaz. A gloss that adds glitter -- and conditioners -- when worn over lipstick.

Revlon's Amber Ablaze collection aims to create an antique metallized effect in shades of pumpkin, red and brown. Eye Glossing is a shimmery cream eyeshadow that can be used on the lid or in the crease.

American Eagle introduces its first color kits. The Eyelights are sheer eyeshadows in two four-way palettes, Starry Night Sparkler featuring blues and purples, and Sunlit Radiance Sparkler with shades of brown.

C-Me has a three-in-one sheer glitter lip gel called Yes No Maybe that also has a berry-flavor.

MAC Cosmetics' new eye shadow colors include Shadowy Lady, a deep plum, and Quarry, an "understated" plum. The company's newest Lipglass shades are a coppered plum called Lovechild, a toffee called Revealing and Entice, a spice color.

Bobbi Brown's eyeshadows all have a deep color with a little hint of black. There's Ivy, a dark, deep green, Black Plum, Smoke and Vanilla. Two new blush colors are both warm and neutral -- a sandstone and a brown berry.

Sue Devitt Studio offers new lip trios; the bronze and beige kit called Silver Lake is a complement to orange- or peach-tone eyeshadow, and the dusty rose kit called Sunset works with icy gray eye makeup.

Shiseido's Distinguish Mascara, which boasts it defines the eyes by separating each eyelash, is offered in a deep bordeaux in addition to the traditional black and brown.

Chanel's limited-edition "star product" this fall is Les Perles de Chanel, a compact full of pearl drops of iridescent pinks, greens, white and gold that can be used on eyes, lips and cheeks.

Almay's color palette is broken into three groups, wines, berries and spices, which are carried through the entire collection.

Clinique's fall lineup is inspired by the vintage fashion trend. Key products include a rich nude texture blush, a "high-impact" eyeshadow in teal, and shadow duos in rose wine and a mix of taupes.
