Step out of your comfort zone with eye shadows in all shades of the rainbow. Apply color to the crease or opt for a slightly more dramatic look that extends to the brow bone. If your feeling extra daring, apply shadow on the under-eye area.

Bangs are going to be huge this fall and as seen on the most recent runways, the fringe movement is here to stay until next year. Opt for a shaggy cut or try something blunt and polished.
