Berry Stain
Beyond reds, plum or berry-stained lips will be big in the fall (Schlip adds that plum is also fun to try as eyeliner, shadow, or blush this season).

There are plenty of lip stains to choose from, but if you already have a berry lipstick you love, mark celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg has this tip: "You can get the look by blotting on powder, then applying lip color, without worrying about staying in the lines," she says. "Next, use concealer or foundation to diffuse the edges of the lips."

Big, Beautiful Brows
The bold brow was big in runway shows and you'll see more this fall, which is great news for tweezer-phobes. Of course, some grooming is required. If you already have a full brow shape and just need to keep everything in place, the Maybelline Fashion Week makeup team says, "Nothing keeps brows looking meticulous like a good clear mascara."

Of course, not everyone is blessed with a pair of perfectly coiffed caterpillars above their eyes. Nadine offers this tip for skimpier brows: "Fill [your brows] in with two brow pencils, one the color of your brows and one a shade darker," she says. "To really step it up, wet a stiff angled brow brush in water before you dip it into a brow shadow then fill in your brows, slightly exaggerating and extending them." Then Nadine says to use brow gel to brush the brow hair closest to your nose inward (toward your nose), the middle part of your brows upward, and the outer part toward your ears.

Sure, summer is just getting into full swing, but we're already hearing whispers about the new makeup trends for Fall 2013. It's bold (brows), it's bright (skin), it's retro (dig out those Doc Martens), and it's what we'll be wearing come September when things start cooling off.

But don't take our word for it. We went straight to the experts -- the makeup artists we trust most. These pros combed Fashion Week runways in New York, Milan, London, and Paris and spotted (or created) the headline-grabbing makeup trends you'll be seeing everywhere this fall.

Some of the trends, like red lipstick, are classic fall staples. It's like the harbinger of cool weather -- we expect it, and fall in love with it year after year. But some of these news looks, like the colorful, winged eye makeup or hyper-contoured, glowing skin, are a complete 180 from recent makeup trends. To be honest, they seem a bit intimidating at first look, but all of these trends are easy to wear and work on everyone -- Scout's honor. Even better, a couple of the fall makeup trends, like rebel/punk eyeliner, are supposed to look messy. Even if you think you're completely inept at applying makeup, you almost can't screw up this look.

Ready to see what makeup brands like MAC Cosmetics, CoverGirl, Maybelline, Physicians Formula, and more have to say about the Fall 2013 makeup trends? See the pros' top picks and tips to make these makeup looks wearable.
