While many look forward to gift giving and holiday travel, we get extra excited for the glitz and glam of holiday party looks, New Year's Eve glam (you can find the tutorial here), and the new beauty trends top makeup artists are showing off! We're proud to share the work of four of our favorite makeup artists and their interpretation of what is hot for the winter season! Makeup by @jamesmolloymakeupartist on model @amycrawford_x Sparkling Multichromes by James Molloy It's no surprise multichromes are still trending this season, as brands like Lethal Cosmetics and Karla Cosmetics continue to create new shades with brilliant colorful shifts! James created this magical look using some of our best sellers from Lethal Cosmetics, Viseart, and more. Starting with complexion, he primed the skin with Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder (applied with his 0.20 My Flexi Face Brush) before brightening up the undereye area with Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer. To add dimension to the face, he applied the deeper shades in the light version of the RCMA Highlight and Contour Palette. After setting the makeup with Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder, he added a pop of blush with the Graftobian Blush Palette in Warm and a radiant glow from the Viseart Highlighting & Sculpting HD Palette. For the eyes, he paired his MYKITCO Pro My Tiny Angle Brush 1.17 the Senna Brow Book to create feathery looking brows and then created a winged liner look using Lethal Cosmetics SIDE FX Gel Liner in Polarity. Using a fluffy brush, he added Lethal Cosmetics MAGNETIC Pressed Eyeshadow in Genesis, a baby blue pearly multichrome with a pink shift, to the inner half of the eye and Retrograde, a metallic finish that shifts from tan, turquoise, blue, violet to red, to the other half of the lid. For extra brilliance, he lined the lower lash line with Exosphere. He finished the look with neutral pink lips using Lethal Cosmetics SPIRE Lipstick in the shade Send Nudes. PRO Tip: To apply a highly pigmented blush or highlighter, use the MYKITCO My Blush and Polisher Brush 0.24 to easily and evenly diffuse the pigments onto the skin.

Our Buyers here at Camera Ready are lucky to see sneak peeks of new releases and can often see trends developing before they're officially viral on TikTok, so we asked them to share their insights into this year's hottest Fall and Winter Trends as well as their top picks to achieve each one! EDITOR'S NOTE: Our goal is to help you feel Camera Ready no matter what, and while we love following the trends, it's important to remember to do what makes you look and feel your best! If you have any questions or want a personal recommendation, contact one of our Beauty Experts! In this blog, we will be discussing the following popular makeup, hair, and beauty trends for FALL/WINTER 2022: The Clean Girl Trend 2.0 Bigger & Bolder Looks Statement Lips   Fall/Winter 2022 Makeup and Hair Trend: The Clean Girl Aesthetic, but with a Twist We know the Clean Girl beauty trend has been around for a while now, but the newest fall and winter releases this year continue to support that this viral beauty movement (and for some, it's a lifestyle) is here to stay for a while! Thankfully, the latest update to this trend is to make it more inclusive and achievable for every beauty lover and not just limit it to those with an already great complexion or those that like minimal coverage. This upgraded take on the Clean Beauty trend calls for more of a flush of color to the face and additional coverage. How to Achieve the UPDATED Clean Girl Makeup Look The overall "less is more" approach still remains the same, but this time, add a hint of blush and a tint to the lips! From multi-tasking products like Illamasqua Gel Sculpt to add dimension to the eyes and cheeks to tinted balms like Jillian Dempsey Lid and Cheek Tints for all-over color, there are plenty of on-the-go friendly pocket-sized products to create the look! For those wanting a flush of color, try creating a monochromatic look with a product that's eye, lip, and cheek safe like Danessa Myricks Colorfix (just apply a tiny amount and diffuse the pigmentation well because these beauties are pigmented!) or one of her popular multi-purpose palettes like the best selling The Feminist or The Nudist Luxe Cream Palettes. If you're looking for a beauty product with skincare benefits, opt for a Jouer Bloom & Blush Cheek and Lip Duo!   Finish the look with lightly filledin brows with the ultra-natural looking Kevyn Aucoin True Feather Brow Marker, and you've achieved Clean Girl perfection! PRO Tips: If you want to recreate the Clean Girl Makeup Look but have a few imperfections you'd like to cover up, opt for a lighter coverage tinted moisturizer or spot concealer.   If you have drier skin and have a hard time pulling off this minimalistic makeup look, start with a blurring and hydrating SPF like Saint Jane Luxury Sun Ritual and opt for more emollient and hydrating cream products like Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Blush (which can also be used on the lips & eyes!) or Melt Cosmetics Blushlights. How to Achieve the Clean Girl Hair Look Achieving the Clean Girl Hair Look is a little trickier since every hair type has different needs (If you're still searching for your holy grail hair care, take our Hair Quiz to find your perfect products!), but the basic look you're trying to achieve is smooth, frizz-free, and hydrated hair. If you've been on TikTok at all this summer, odds are you saw the #OlaFLEX Challenge where folks shared their routines to achieve the smooth and healthy hair this trend calls for. One of the most popular videos included a routine to create a slicked-back look that treated hair while also giving a super sleek and trendy slicked-back appearance. They used a cocktail of OLAPLEX No 7 Bonding Oil, No 6 Bond Smoother, and No 3 Hair Perfector to help restore the hair while styling it, too. If you prefer to add just one or two products to help banish pesky flyaways, our buyers suggest R+Co Dart Pomade Stick or adding another flexible pomade to your collection, along with a great dry shampoo to extend the life of your look. Fall/Winter 2022 Makeup Trend: Bigger and Bolder Looks If the almost no-makeup makeup look is not your style, don't worry! This bold beauty trend encourages you to go all out and express yourself with eye-catching colors, textures, and shapes. There are no right or wrong ways to apply these looks, and cat eyes have become elongated, graphic liner is bolder and thicker, and smokey eyes are less precise and more smudgy (for the ultimate one-and-done smokey eyeshadow palette, check out Dose of Colors Smokey Soiree or Baked Brows II palettes). Blue Eyeshadow and eyeliners trending for fall/winter 2022: Just like in 2021, blue eyeliner and blue eyeshadow looks are trending again with celebrities like Taylor Swift and Kylie Jenner joining in on the fun. However, the exact shade of blue has become more of a royal or true blue and even ethereal with duochromes and pearly shades giving this popular look a unique look. Our buyers' top recommendations for the blue eyeshadow and eyeliner look trend include: Lethal Cosmetics SIDE FX Gel Liner in Polarity, a mid-toned slightly metallic liner, $15.50 Jason Wu Beauty Jewel Stick Cream Eyeshadow in Blue Pearl, a shimmering cool mid-toned periwinkle, $16 Karla Cosmetics Opal Moonstone Multichrome in Moody Cow, an ultra shimmering pink with blue reflect, $29 Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Matte in Cobalt, a mid-toned blue, $18 Viseart Petites Mattes Cool Mattes Palette, $40 Sydney Grace Cream Eyeshadow in Rendezvous, a deep metallic denim, $8 Illamasqua Colouring Pencil in Debonair, vibrant sky blue, $21 Cozzette Infinite Velvet Eyeshadow in Lapis, a jewel-toned deep blue, $13 COLORFUL LOOKS AND MULTICHROMES ARE HOTTER THAN EVER: Finally, there's no denying that multichrome and bold shades are more popular than they've ever been, so to make it easy, our buyers are sharing our best selling colorful palettes: Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork Volume IV Transcendence Palette, $125 Sydney Grace Tropicolor x The Fancy Face Palette, $60 Karla Cosmetics Romance Quad Eyeshadow Palette, $82 Kimchi Chic Beauty BFF4EVR Kimchi X Trixie: MVPalette - 01 Superstar, $45 Lethal Cosmetics Theresa is Lethal Pressed Powder Palette, $39 Fall/Winter 2022 Makeup Trend: A Statement Lip Color While the autumn season may normally call for bolder berries and rich reds, this year's hot take on the fall lip calls for grungier and more vibrant shades that pack a punch. From the Hailey Bieber brown lip liner craze that stirred up a lot of feelings on TikTok to rich rosy shades and rusty rich nudes, there are endless bold colors to choose from. The trick with this trend is to keep the rest of your makeup minimal if you're opting for a true statement lip. Our buyers' top recommendations for TRENDING FALL AND WINTER LIPSTICK SHADES: If you're addicted to nudes: Dose of Colors Catching Feelings Lip Set Duo, $29 For the ultimate budge-proof vampy berry: Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix in Plum Wine (one of Danessa's personal favorites!), $19 For a rusty red that can be used on the eyes & cheeks, too: Jason Wu Beauty Hot Fluff Lipstick in Gingerbread, $12 For a cooler toned plum: Saint Jane Luxury Lip Cream in Ritual, $28 For a true rich rosy mauve: Scott Barnes Lip Fetish Liquid Lipstick in Bed of Roses, $26 For a showstopping fuschia that packs a punch, Illamasqua Ultramatter Lipstick in Honour, $22 For classic red lipstick lovers: Senna Matte Fixation in Heart Throb, $26 or Besame 1920 Besame Red Lipstick (for those that want a vibrant red), $28 PRO Tip: Lip prep is a must for bold shades like these since all eyes will be drawn to your vibrant pout. Make sure you exfoliate as needed and use a nourishing balm regularly to keep your lips in tip-top shape. Feeling Inspired? Are you ready to give the fall and winter beauty trends a try?

We are still GLOWING from the Instagram LIVE we held with two of our I Am Camera Ready PROS: Danessa Myricks and @Paintedbyspencer! If you missed it, don't worry! You can always watch the LIVE on our Instagram feed or keep reading the blog to get a quick recap of all the amazing tips, tricks, and advice they shared with us. In this blog, Danessa Myricks & Paintedbyspencer will be sharing: What being Camera Ready means to them Some of the perks of "professional makeup" A Demo of the Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork Volume IV Transcendence Palette What Being Camera Ready Means to Danessa Myricks & Paintedbyspencer This summer, we have shared our top tips to get your skin, makeup, and hair Camera Ready. To us, being Camera Ready is all about the steps and routine you follow to feel ready to face the day and express yourself. There are no defined rules that say you have to follow the same routine that others do. Being Camera Ready is a unique state of mind that each person achieves in their own way! To Danessa Myricks, being Camera Ready is all about showing up confident no matter what. She admits it took a lot for her to grow into herself and find her own confidence and that sometimes, it can change on a daily basis. However, finding that confidence - even if it means makeup or no makeup, that’s being Camera Ready. For Paintedbyspencer, he knows being Camera Ready can vary day to day. Some days, it is just gaining confidence through just a good skincare routine. Other times, it’s his favorite cologne. Of course, some days, it is about having a full face of great makeup! His pro tip? REST! The key to feeling Camera Ready is just being fully rested because it allows you to be your best self! What Are Some of the Perks of Professional Makeup Simply put, professional-grade makeup is makeup that is formulated specifically for professional makeup artists to achieve a certain finish or look. That can range from the makeup used for special effects in movies, on set of a photo shoot, for brides, and beyond. Oftentimes, but not always, these professional-grade products have higher pigmentation, unique finishes, or impressive wear times, so it's no surprise when a professional product goes viral on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube! That doesn't mean that it's better than traditional makeup! It's just created with a different purpose and goal in mind. Another perk of professional-grade makeup is that it's often formulated so that it can be mixed with other products or textures to create all new shades, textures, and finishes. That's where Danessa Myricks Beauty comes in! Before she was creating beautiful innovative products that you'll see makeup lovers and makeup artists around the world using today, she was (and still is) in the heart of the Makeup Artist Industry both applying makeup to models and photographing them! However, after lugging around a huge kit and realizing she wanted more multipurpose products that allowed her to create the looks she was trying to achieve, she made it her mission to create those products! That’s one of the many reasons her products are beloved by artists and makeup lovers alike. She created products that she wished she could have at her fingertips to create any look imaginable. Her goal is to create products that work on any and every model she works with. It should perform in ever scenario, for every skin tone, skin type, and age! That's where the Balm Contour, Yummy Skin Collection (including Allure Best of Beauty Award-winning Blurring Balm Powder, Infinite Chrome Flakes, ColorFix, Twin Flames, and the Lightwork Palettes came from- to give Danessa the finishes, the creative shades, and the dimension she wanted for all of her models!

So you just got the Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork Volume IV Transcendence Palette (perhaps you're considering it or another water-activated makeup product)- congratulations! You're in for a magical world of textures, finishes, colors, and multichromes! If you're new to using water-activated makeup, welcome to the beautiful world of unique textures and finishes! This pro-favorite product is great to create clean, crisp, highly pigmented eyeliner looks for graphic liner eyes, a pop of color, and more.   It may be a little daunting, at first, but once you've mastered the technique to use water-activated makeup, you'll be hooked. In this blog, we'll share three easy steps and a tutorial video to use the Aqua Chromes! How to use the Danessa myricks beauty lightwork iv transcendence palette aqua chrome water-activated shades in three easy steps: STEP 1: Add a couple of drops of water to activate the makeup STEP 2: Swirl your brush to mix the pigment with the water STEP 3: Use a liner brush or other tool to apply The tools you'll want to have handy to use the Danessa myricks beauty lightwork iv transcendence palette: The Lightwork IV Palette A small amount of water (either in a small dish or dropper) A thin liner brush A paper towel or other towel to wipe your brush How to use water-activated Danessa Myricks Lightwork IV Transcendence Aqua Chromes STEP 1: Apply a few drops of water to activate the makeup In this step, it's important to only use a little bit of water. Start with three drops. This will allow you to achieve maximum pigmentation. If you accidentally apply too much water, you can swiftly dab off a little with a paper towel or simply allow the water to sit on top of the makeup for a minute or two before you start to mix it. This will ensure the water softens even more of the makeup instead of only activating the top layer, resulting in a diluted mixture. How to use water-activated Danessa Myricks Lightwork IV Transcendence Aqua Chromes STEP 2: Mix until you reach a paste-like consistency Our favorite way to use water-activated makeup is for eyeliner or graphic eyeliner, so we often turn to a very thin eyeliner brush when using our Aqua Chromes from the Danessa Myricks Lightwork IV palette. Taking your brush, lightly swirl and swipe it in the water you've dropped onto the Aqua Chrome shade. At first, you'll see the magical shimmer floating in the makeup, but it won't take long before the shimmer has almost "melted" into the water creating a beautiful multichrome liquid. Keep stirring! You're so close to being ready to use it! You're looking for a thicker almost paste-like consistency, and it should stay on your brush easily and look a little thicker once it's ready. If it has become chunky or gloopy looking, add a tiny drop of water and try again. PRO Tip: Keep a small dish of water nearby and lightly dip your brush into it to pick up the desired amount of water to work into your Aqua Chrome. This will give you optimal control while mixing and can come in handy as you work with the product, as it will start to dry up again as you're using it. How to use water-activated Danessa Myricks Lightwork IV Transcendence Aqua Chromes STEP 3: Start playing with the makeup! Now that your Aqua Chrome is the perfect consistency, it's time to start playing! Of course, since it's a wet formula, if you're lining your eyes, try not to blink too hard or open/close your eye until the liner has dried. Your body heat will help the liner dry pretty quickly. Once dry, the Aqua Chrome will give you a dazzling long-lasting multichrome look! To remove, simply use your favorite cleanser or makeup remover. It will be easy to remove since it's water-activated! PRO Tip to use the Aqua Chromes from Lightwork IV: We recommend practicing on your hand or arm until you get used to how much of the Aqua Chrome liquid to place on your brush and to see how thick you like the consistency! Wiping your brush onto a paper towel in between lining sessions will also help you create clean, crisp lines.

Now that we've taught you how to recreate Hailey Bieber's viral TikTok Fall Lip Combo makeup hack to make your lips look fuller, it's time to share alternative shades and dupes for those wanting to recreate her viral lip look. Best Dupes & Alternatives for Scott Barnes Naomi Lip Liner: Ben Nye Lip Colour Pencil in French Roast- $12.00 Melt Cosmetics Perfectionist Lip Pencil in Caffeine - $19.00 Kevyn Aucoin Unforgettable Lip Definer in Pure- $22.00 Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencils in Limitless Brown & Dimensional Dark Brown - $20.00 Jason Wu Beauty Stay In Line Lip Pencil in 10 Luminous - $10.00 L.A. Girl Lipliner Pencil in Deepest Brown- $3.00 The Best Dupes for Scott Barnes Lip Liner in the shade Naomi Of course, the shades we're recommending aren't exact dupes, but they'll help you achieve the same beautiful fall look Hailey created in her viral TikTok Fall Lip Combo video!  Melt Cosmetics Perfectionist Lip Pencil in Caffeine, $19- This espresso bean-hued liner is the closest to Naomi and is about half a shade lighter and more neutral. Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencils in Limitless Brown, $20 - This particular shade has a hint of warmth and is about two shades lighter than Naomi. In addition, it makes green eyes GLOW when worn as a liner! For a slightly rosier option, opt for Versatile Chestnut. Ben Nye Lip Colour Pencil in French Roast, $12- The tone is almost spot on to Naomi, but it's about one shade lighter. Ben Nye liners have incredible wear time because they were created to withstand the demands of the beauty industry including for filming, photo shoots, on stage, and big events. Kevyn Aucoin Unforgettable Lip Definer in Pure, $22- this brown liner comes with a lip brush on the opposite end to make blending easier than ever! It's slightly lighter and warmer than Naomi. An important thing to remember when you see viral videos and tutorials is that while one shade may be beautiful on a model, celebrity, or influencer, it will likely look different on you due to having different undertones, pigmentation, and tone of your lips, etc.! The Best Dupes and Alternatives for Scott Barnes Lip Liner in the shade Naomi for Lighter Skin Tones & Less Pigmented Lips If you're hoping to recreate Hailey's perfect fall lip look but have a lighter complexion, Scott Barnes Naomi Lip Liner may be too bold for the look you're going for. Of course, diffusing it as she did with her finger (or a lip brush) will help soften the look, but our pros have curated two slightly lighter yet still fall-appropriate shades to consider:   Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencils in Limitless Brown, $20 - Limitless Brown is a makeup artist staple thanks to the multi-purpose pigments that can be used safely on eyes, lips, and cheeks. As you can see from the comparison photo with Naomi and our other "dupes", it's the lightest of the bunch making it great for lighter complexions! For a slightly rosier option, opt for Versatile Chestnut.   Jason Wu Beauty Stay In Line Lip Pencil in Luminous, $10 - This slightly warmer toned cocoa nude lip liner is a softer formula than Scott Barnes Naomi making it easy to diffuse the edges. It glides effortlessly onto the lips, so if you top it with a gloss, resist the urge to swipe the gloss vigorously on top if you want to keep a more defined look in place.   The Best Dupes and Alternatives for Scott Barnes Lip Liner in the shade Naomi for Deeper Skintones & Pigmented Lips If you have a richer skin tone or more pigmented lips than Hailey, we have other lip liners to suggest that are just as wow-worthy as Scott Barnes Lip Liner in the shade Naomi! These pro-approved products are both easy to blend and sharpen - a must for any makeup lover or pro! While the other shades we suggested have a warmer or rosier undertone, these are more neutral shades that tend to work on a wider range of rich skin tones.   Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in Dimensional Dark Brown, $20 - This three-in-one liner is a great option for those that want a deep bold brown liner that can be used to line the lips or even on the cheeks.! Dark Dimensional Brown is a deeper brown and has a truer brown hue than Naomi (which leans a little rosy on some skin tones) making it an amazing option if you have a rich complexion or highly pigmented lips.   L.A. Girl Lipliner Pencil in Deepest Brown, $3- At under $5, you really can't beat the value that this rich brown lip liner offers! Compared to Naomi, this leans more toward a chocolate brown.
