If You’re Going to Buy Lipstick This Fall, Make It One of These Hot Colors

If You’re Going to Buy Lipstick This Fall, Make It One of These Hot Colors

If you typically associate red lips with fall, we have some exciting news: This season's hottest shades go way beyond the classic berry hue (although we love them, too). Think soft nudes, peppy pinks, and deep plums. Here, our favorite new shades to try now.

Velvety Nude

In rosy nudes (think your lips, but better). Spotted on the Herve Leger runway, the look is "universally flattering" says Troy Surratt, a makeup artist and the founder of an eponymous line. "It lets you fake fuller lips." He suggests using a lip-toned liner to draw a bit past your natural lip border, then topping with a liquid lipstick.

Matte Plum

One swipe of this vampy hue will change your whole look. Make sure you're precise—dark lipsticks can get messy. "Prep with a lip balm," says Surratt. "Use a lip brush to apply color, then go in with a lip liner in the same shade to clean up edges."

We like (from top): Oribe Lip Lust Creme Lipstick in The Violet ($42, net-a-porter.com); Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Jawbreaker ($17, sephora.com); Burt's Bees Lipstick in Orchid Ocean ($9, amazon.com); Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lip Colour in An Affair ($28, lauramercier.com).

Glossy Red

A classic red lip is always chic, but this year's take is extra lovely thanks to its high shine factor. "Apply a matte red first," says Surratt, "to make the gloss on top look much stronger." Stash it in your bag; you'll need to reapply.

We like (from top): Essence BB Lipgloss in Heartbreaker ($4, essence.eu); YSL Vinyl Cream in N.411 Rhythm Red ($36, sephora.com); Cle De Peau Beaute Radiant Liquid Rouge in 17 ($48, nordstrom.com); MAC Versicolour Stain in Resilient Rouge ($25, amazon.com).

Creamy Pink

Bright pink in the fall? A thing! This hue wakes up any complexion. "Opt for one with coraly undertones," says Surratt. For a smoothing effect, use foundation as a base, then reapply lip color, advises makeup artist Sonia Kashuk, founder of Sonia Kashuk Beauty. "Blot color until it's a stain before adding the final layer," she adds.

We like (from top): Cover Girl Colorlicious Lipstick in Spellbound ($6, amazon.com); Lancome L'Absolu Rouge in 317, Pourquoi Pas ($32, nordstrom.com); Kiko Milano Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick in Shade 124 ($12, kikocosmetics.com); Nuance Salma Hayek Moisture Rich Lipstick in Shocking Lotus Pink ($10; nuancesalmahayek.com).

7 Concealers Makeup Artists Swear By

7 Concealers Makeup Artists Swear By

[brightcove:5480338449001 default]

Concealer: the life-changing beauty product that can bring you from Walking Dead status to walk-the-runway-ready in a couple of swipes. And as any woman who has ever tried to cover her dark circles or acne marks knows, concealer comes in so many formulas that it can be close to impossible to choose the right one. We went to the pros to find out what they consider to be the best of the best.

For full coverage: Cle de Peau Concealer ($70; nordstrom.com)

"This has full-coverage capability without a typical full-coverage heavy feel, and it doesn't settle into fine lines or wrinkles—a telltale sign that you've loaded up on concealer or foundation. The color range is vast and can complement many skin tones. A little goes a very long way, so it's worth the splurge!" —Lauren Gott, Los Angeles- and New York-based celebrity makeup artist; A-list clientele include Kiernan Shipka and Jewel

 

For sweat-proof coverage: Amazing Cosmetics Concealer ($42; dermstore.com)

"In my opinion, it's the best concealer out there and it has something for everyone. It comes in 20 shades and three families of undertones, making matching someone's skin tone perfectly a possibility. It's great for all-day wear and even held up against 14-hour dance days on the set of Smash!" —Rebecca Perkins, Co-founder and head makeup artist at Rouge New York


For a subtle sheen: Chanel Correcteur Perfection Long Lasting Concealer ($42; barneys.com)

"There are a ton of concealers I love, but this is my current go-to. If I'm just spot correcting, I match the concealer to complexion, or if I'm highlighting under the eyes, I choose a shade lighter than the skin tone I'm working with. It's an easy way to illuminate features without sparkle." —Joni Powell, Los Angeles based makeup artist who has worked on the sets of The O.C. and Hart of Dixie


For buildable coverage: TARTE Maracuja Creaseless Concealer ($25; sephora.com)

"It addresses so many of my clients' concerns: It provides full coverage without creasing, while also hydrating the eye area. On the rest of the face, I start with just a small amount of formula and build it up for more coverage. And an added bonus of TARTE's products is that they're natural and generally safe to use on all skin types." —Neil Scibelli, a New York-based celebrity makeup artist who has glammed up Molly Sims and Elle MacPherson


 

For a flawless finish: M.A.C. Studio Finish Concealer ($19; nordstrom.com)

"This is my all-time favorite. I like it because of its versatility and consistency—it never fails. It's a true medium- to full-coverage concealer, but can be used as thinly as any lightweight formula out there. Its easy to work with and very easy to blend smoothly. I always tell my closest friends, you don't really need foundation, you just need a really great concealer!" —New York City makeup artist Robert Greene, who has worked with Sienna Miller and Zoey Saldana

 

 

For a moisture boost: KOH GEN DO Moisture Concealer ($54; nordstrom.com)

"I love this palette because it's gentle, easy to apply, and has botanical ingredients that cover and neutralize the undereye skin and lids. It's a sheer formula that builds easily depending on if you use it under the eye or on skin imperfections." —New York city makeup artist Azara Red, who has worked with DKNY and Nicole Miller


 

For the undereye: Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer ($35; sephora.com)

This is my new favorite concealer. It's waterproof and humidity resistant. It blends well and has great coverage. I always pay attention to longevity of a product and the way it sets on the skin. I apply the creamy concealer in the morning using my ring finger in a gentle blotting motion to cover dark spots and imperfections. It sets nicely on the skin and does not emphasize any fine lines." —Kristine Cruz, makeup artist at Antonio Prieto Salon in New York City

China to limit number of online games over myopia fears

China to limit number of online games over myopia fears

China to limit number of online games over myopia fears
Shares of Chinese video game companies plunged on Friday after the government unveiled plans to control the number of online games as part of an effort to prevent myopia among children.

The plan is the latest move to tighten government oversight over the country´s fast-growing and highly popular video game industry — and a new blow to their stock market fortunes.

The new regulations were announced late Thursday after Chinese President Xi Jinping issued an "important directive" to protect children´s eyesight.

The education ministry said in a statement Thursday that the authorities will regulate and control the total number of internet games, as well as the number of new titles.

The statement, which was signed by eight ministries, said the authorities will also explore an age-appropriate alert system and take actions to limit the amount of gaming hours among children.

The news sent the shares of Chinese video game companies sharply down on Friday morning.

Tencent dropped by more than five per cent in Hong Kong while Perfect World Co, which was once listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange, sank almost nine per cent in Shenzhen.

Smaller game developers also lost ground in Shenzhen. Youzu Interactive Co plunged nearly eight percent and Sichuan Xun You Network Technology lost more than eight percent. Ourpalm Co was down nearly six percent.

China has a high rate of myopia among students at an increasingly younger age, the official Xinhua news agency said, citing Xi´s order.

Myopia has seriously affected children´s physical and mental health, posing a big problem for the nation´s future, the agency said.

The plan follows a halt in the approval of new online game licences.

Bloomberg News reported earlier this month that China had stopped approving any new mobile games as part of a wider shake-up of the market.

No new titles for domestic firms had been added since May and no new imported games has been approved since February, according to the National Radio and Television Administration, which updates the online list of approved games regularly.

Andy Murray Loses To Fernando Verdasco
Andy Murray’s return to Grand Slam tennis ended in a four-set defeat by Spanish 31st seed Fernando Verdasco in the US Open second round.

The former British number one, playing his first Slam in 14 months, lost 7-5 2-6 6-4 6-4 in New York.

In sweltering conditions, Murray, 31, battled hard but did not have enough to overcome the 34-year-old Verdasco.It was only Murray’s fifth tournament back since having hip surgery in January.

The Scot looked exhausted at times during a physical encounter on a humid Arthur Ashe Stadium – a combination of the conditions as temperatures rose close to 100F (38C) and his lack of five-set matches since being sidelined through injury.

Murray’s limp between points – a regular sight in recent years – seemed to become heavier as the match wore on.

Zardari appears before banking court in money laundering case
A local banking court on Friday granted interim bail to former president and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari in connection to a money laundering case.

Zardari along with his counsel Farooq Naik appeared before the banking court in Karachi and was granted interim bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs2 million.

On August 17, the local banking court had issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Zardari and other absconding suspects in the ongoing probe.

However, on August 18, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) approved the former president’s petition for protective bail in the case and ordered him to appear before the relevant court before September 3.

Thus, Zardari appeared before the banking court today.

Ahead of Zardari’s arrival, a bomb disposal squad scanned the court premises and gave the clearance.

The FIA is investigating 32 people in relation to money laundering from fictitious accounts, including Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur. Zardari’s close aide Hussain Lawai was arrested in July in connection with the probe.

The former president’s other close aide and Omni Group chairman Anwar Majeed and his son, Abdul Ghani, were also arrested by FIA earlier this month. Majeed’s three other sons have been granted interim bail.

Over 20 ‘benami’ accounts at some private banks were opened in 2013, 2014 and 2015 from where transactions worth billions of rupees were made, according to sources.

The amount, according to FIA sources, is said to be black money gathered from various kickbacks, commissions and bribes.

We'll see how transfers are made through exerting pressure: CJP

SC hears suo motu notice of Pakpattan DPO’s transfer
The Supreme Court on Friday began hearing a suo motu notice of the transfer of Pakpattan District Police Officer Rizwan Gondal following an alleged altercation with the former husband of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s wife.

A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar is hearing the suo motu case.

As the hearing went under way, Justice Nisar asked, "What is this case? For the past five days, the whole nation has been discussing it."

"I keep repeating this, we want an independent police force," he remarked.

Justice Nisar continued, "If the transfer was made on the request of the chief minister or the person sitting next to him then this is not right."

The CJP also inquired where Jameel Gujjar and Khawar Maneka were.

"Why was the DPO asked to visit Maneka's house to apologise and why was he transferred at 1am?" Justice Nisar asked.

Further, Justice Ijazul Ahsan remarked, "We will not tolerate political interference or influence."

To this, the CJP added, "We will see how transfers are made through exerting pressure."

The top court has summoned Pakpattan DPO Rizwan Umar Gondal, Inspector General Punjab Police and the Regional Police Officer in personal capacity. Meanwhile, inquiry officer has also been summoned along with his report on the matter.

The inquiry report has also been forwarded to IG Punjab. According to the report, Gondal was responsible for not conducting an inquiry against officers who misbehaved with Bushra Bibi's ex-husband Khawar Maneka.

Further, the report stated that the DPO 'twisted' the matter and shared it on social media.

Reports of Gondal’s transfer sparked a controversy earlier this week, as speculation suggested that the police officer was transferred because of the August 23 altercation between the police and Maneka.

According to reports, police personnel under Gondal’s watch tried to stop Maneka at a checkpoint for speeding but he did not stop. The police then chased his vehicle and managed to intercept him.

IG Punjab, soon after the reports, denied that Gondal was transferred under any pressure and said it was done due to his giving misleading statements about misbehaviour by police personnel with a citizen.

Cancellation of blasphemous contest is moral victory of Muslim Ummah
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said it was a great moral victory of the entire Muslim Ummah that the Dutch anti-Islam damned lawmaker cancelled plans to hold a contest of blasphemous cartoons.

He was addressing a news conference with leader of Tehreek Labaik, Pir Afzal Qadri late last night.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the new government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf immediately after coming into power raised the issue at all fora.

He said the Parliament unanimously passed a resolution condemning the plans to hold the blasphemous caricature contest. He said the minority members were at the forefront in condemning this heinous act.

The Foreign Minister said he discussed the matter with his counterparts from important Capitals and it was agreed to use the platform of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation OIC to present a unanimous stance and seek an end to repeat of such sacrilegious acts.

He also recalled his phone call to the Dutch Foreign Minister and said he was informed that act of an individual should not be allowed to hurt the sentiments of billions of Muslims across the globe.

However, he attributed the success to the blessings of Allah and said the cancellation has averted a major crisis. He said the Pakistani government fully endorses the sentiments of every Muslim, the religious scholars and Ulema.

The TLP leadership later announced to end of the 'Long March', of thousands of people that had entered Rawalpindi on Thursday night, from Lahore.

Blasphemous caricatures 'an issue of every Muslim': PM Khan

Blasphemous caricatures 'an issue of every Muslim': PM Khan

Prime Minister Imran Khan
Prime Minister Imran Khan said Thursday he would move the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) in an effort to raise the issue of blasphemous caricatures in the United Nations.

Speaking via a video statement published on social media, Khan said: "The matter of blasphemous caricature is an issue of every Muslim," he noted, adding that it is close to every Muslim's heart.

Disrespecting the sentiments of Muslims by targetting Holy Prophet (PBUH) was unacceptable, the premier said, adding that the only way this issue could be addressed was through a joint statement from all the Muslim countries in the United Nations through the OIC.

The PM mentioned that the West had failed to understand "our perspective towards religion is quite different from theirs".

"We will be able to make the West understand that it's not just one Muslim country taking forward the issue or one Muslim country recalling their ambassador in protest," he said, but multiple Muslim countries "through a unanimous statement in the UN".

The premier said he had directed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, to speak with other countries on the matter and conduct meetings with the international community in the UN.

"InshAllah (God Willing), we will stage a strong protest and will tell them that such acts hurt over a billion people of the world. It's unacceptable," he added.

Khan said a minority was involved in the blasphemous act to intentionally target Islam.
