Every season, there’s some color trend out there that’s getting all the hype.  And that’s of course where sayings like “Orange is the new pink” come from. (That and Josie and the Pussycats.)

So, what’s the color of this season (upcoming autumn)?  Purple.  This comes in several shades, but plum seems to be the most popular.

To celebrate this new color trend, I thought I’d show you some of the best products in beauty and fashion that have that bit of purple.

Let’s say, it’s Monday and you’re at work.  When you got ready in the morning, you put on your regular dull appropriate makeup.

But now some coworkers invited you out to a bar or club after work.  You don’t want to go back home to get snazzed up for the event, so what do you do?

There are actually super easy ways to bring your day makeup into some nighttime activities.  Just by making these easy changes, you’ll look much more appropriate for the event.

These tips work best if you have an emergency makeup bag in your desk at work.  Really, there’s no reason not to have one.

When you start to really get into makeup, you’ll likely want to carry some around with you during the day.  But what do you choose?  What can’t you live without?

I like to carry a complete makeup kit with me in my purse wherever I go.  So, if I forget to put makeup on (the horror!) I can do up my face with what I’ve got in my bag.

In fact, yellow is used in a lot of makeup.  They add specks of yellow and gold to lipsticks, lotions, lip glosses, you name it.  But why is yellow so sought after?  It’s just a color, right?

As you may remember, I’ve been talking about color for the past few weeks and about how color effects mood and emotion.  I did red and green.  And now comes yellow.
