It seems early to be trotting out reds for fall makeup. That's usually relegated to the holidays. (At least wait until Thanksgiving!) But with fashions heading in vastly different directions – from minimalist black to plaids and tweeds – the "glamodrama" beauty trend makes sense.
M.A.C's Cult of Cherry collection, which is on counters, was chosen for the fall/winter fashion shows for designers like Vivienne Westwood and Zac Posen.
First glimpse: It's pretty heavy in color (eye shadows and lipstick), but it's easily toned down for everyday wear.
If you're a fan of M.A.C.'s classic Ruby Woo lipstick, which is a vivid bluish-red matte, check out the new Russian Red from this collection.
• Since designer Michael Kors has one the best fashion collections for fall (trench coats, sheath dresses), it's appropriate that he adds to this effortless look with a limited-edition eau de parfum rollerball/lip gloss – a scent and shade duo. The lipstick is in Bare Vinyl, a sheer nude gloss. The fragrance is his signature scent, which launched in 2003. It's $22 and available in September at Sephora.
