1. Brown Nail Polish
PriceGrabber.com
Technically, nail polish doesn't count as makeup, but this trend is so hot we didn't want you to miss it. Toss aside your sheer, shimmery summer polish, and add rich tones to your fingertips for fall.
Bargain Pick: Milani Brown-a-Licious, CVS ($3.79)
2. Smoky Eyes
PriceGrabber.com
Once you master the technique of a smoky eye, this look adds drama to any nighttime outfit. Grey, black, brown and even green shadows will work, so have fun and experiment.
Bargain Pick: Revlon ColorStay Eye Shadow in Sultry Smoke, Drugstore.com ($6.29)
3. Bold Lipcolor
PriceGrabber.com
Not to be paired with a heavy eye, a dark, red lip works best with pared down makeup on the rest of the face. The wrong shade here could be disastrous, so buy at a store with a good returns policy if not a try-before-you-buy opportunity.
Bargain Pick: CoverGirl TruShine Lip Color in Cranberry Shine, Drugstore.com ($5.66)
4. Bright Color
PriceGrabber.com
Think purples, golds and greens. Even blue eyeliner is hot again (those of you who never gave it up, this is your moment!), so break out your most daring colors and get ready for some attention.
Bargain Pick: Pixi Eye Beauty Kit in Lavender, Target ($28)
5. Dramatic Lashes
PriceGrabber.com
Even without eyeshadow, long, dark eyelashes can make your eyes stand out (not mention make them look more awake in the morning).
Bargain Pick: Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara in Black Black, CVS ($3.49)
