"Thanks to the return of Hollywood glamour on the runways, television and red carpet, red lips are ultra hot right now. Whether you wear a true, fire engine red [as seen here on Rose Byrne] or a more subtle, berry variation, the key to wearing a red lip is being confident," says Devitt. The bonus: red lips are a no-fail staple for fall that can quickly polish off any look.
Application tips: To achieve sexy, full lips, Devitt suggests her quick buffing technique. Grab a red lip pencil (try MAC Lip Pencil in Cherry or Redd, $13) and use "light feathering strokes around the lip line, blending inwards towards the center. Then apply a matte or sheer [red] lipstick evenly all over lips with a lip brush. This delivers maximum pigment and long-lasting color," advises Devitt.

The look: Voluminous ponytail
Ponytails were all over the fall runways. We saw sleek, high tails, soft, low ones and romantically swept to the side ponytails -- like the style seen here on Nicole Ritchie. "This is a hot and modern twist on the traditional ponytail. The key to making this look cool and modern is not having the hair be perfectly polished. Use a product to give your hair extra thickness and texture," says Papanikolas.
Styling tips: To create this look, backcomb the hair around your crown to create volume. Then, gently comb hair back and to the side and spritz a light-hold hairspray over the top. Secure a side pony with and elastic and spritz the tail with KMS California Hair Play Texture Blast, $16. Texturizing the tail will "give you the roughed up, modern edge," says Papanikolas.
Fall is � well, it's falling upon us rapidly. As to be predicted, celebrities' hairstyles and makeup choices are quickly starting to reflect the season's new upcoming fads, which means, we mortals should start adapting, right? So, what are the oh-so fabulous "fall fads" -- the ones that are so strikingly different from last fall's that you should be desperately ready to follow? And which celebrity's makeup look or coif from the runway is worth forgetting all your summer faves for? These discerning questions need to be asked and answered.
To start, what's exciting about the trends this fall is, most of the "in" looks are chic and easily help you look pulled-together. Rich satin eye makeup, lush beautiful lashes, simple ponytails, and of course, as no fall makeup trend report could be without, luscious red lips -- each of these looks will quickly have you saying "summer who?". The best part? All of these hairstyles and makeup looks take mere minutes to create. Because the last time we checked, we didn't have a team of stylists or backstage beauty gurus spending countless hours perfecting our fall staple French twist (wouldn't that be nice).
What we do have though is makeup artist Sue Devitt and celeb hairstylist George Papanikolas (he's worked with Nicole Ritchie, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Miley Cryrus among others), who are about to tell us how to recreate the styles hot off the September issue-press -- easily.
