Posted by Maggie Morley If you're looking for an easy but chic style to incorporate into your natural hair styling know-how then Natalie Portman's 'do at the recent Emmy Awards is the one for you. The star of Star Wars and The Other Boleyn Girl looked absolutely fantastic at the event, with a side-swept knot, a floor-sweeping dress and makeup to die for. Her natural hair care look consisted of pre-curled hair, brushed into waves, a side parting which was brought together just below the right ear and twisted into a tight knot, while the rest of hair was loosely held together. 'So inventive and unexpected (and very updated Princess Amadala, no?)! This is a fantastic style to try when you're bored with your basic French twist,' the Hollywood Life blog said of the red carpet sensation. The style could be classed as understated chic and paired with her extra-long false lashes, nude makeup and dainty diamond studs, created the ideal evening look. 
Posted by Tony Milner Jessica Alba has been lavished with praise for her recent appearance at the 67th Annual Venice Film Awards. From the dress, to the makeup, to her natural hair care style; it was a hit. The star of The Fantastic Four and Sin City wowed in a strapless cutaway dress and her natural hair care style, while it was gorgeous, is something that ladies at home can try with relative ease. Hollywood Life blog got the lowdown on the look, stating that it starts with a ponytail tied at the crown and hand rolled into a spiral knot, with a few strands pulled out at the front and near the ears – as simple as that! 'The result is a very uptown-chic-with-a-twist look that’s not only fashion-forward, but it’s soft and easy,' the writer asserted. Meanwhile, Natalie Portman also wowed at the event, opting for a side knot with her hair curled into waves on the top. 
Posted by Felicia Cardinal If you're looking for a new way to up the ante with your natural makeup, then very berry lips are where it's at. According to Georgia Collins, writing for Elle UK, there is a 'plethora' of shades currently on the market not to mention a variety of different muses in the form of Charles Anastase and Issa. 'Whether ultra glossy or chalky and matte burgundy, blackcurrant and bordeaux are the colours to shop this autumn,' she asserted. 'Pair with tousled hair and a laidback attitude for the ultimate A/W statement.' Some of the top ways to wear this new, defiant, look include matte with alabaster skin, or glossy lips with polished cheeks and emphasised pretty eyelashes. However Ms Collins asserted that the coolest way to wear the natural makeup shade is that showcased by Proenza Schouler where a purple stain was pressed on in a somewhat haphazard way. If you'd prefer a lighter shade, then apricot and raspberry lips are also set to be on trend come A/W 2010 too. 
Posted by Alison Paquette If you're looking for some glamour when autumn arrives, then look no further than your natural makeup, which (if you're a true fashionista) is set to be filled with shades from yesteryear. Stylist has reported that nostalgia is the theme for A/W 2010, which is compiled of feminine finesse and unstated, expensive glamour. Charlotte Tilbury, a makeup artist for Donna Karan, Moschino and Sonia Rykiel, explained that the 20s are a key feel for natural makeup at the moment. 'It's all about makeup that is super-blended and without lines. On eyes, sockets and brows are shaded and shaped with taupes, greys, minks, browns and khakis that are luscious but soft,' she said. She added that for the lips, interesting shapes (think heart shaped) with petal-like finishes will look gorgeous. Christian Dior's national make-up artist, Jamie Coombes, recently suggested that women make the change to their winter natural makeup by opting for silver shades rather than heavy-duty black. 
Posted by Tony Milner If you're a fan of the smoky eye look (who isn't?) then you might be aware that it is still set to be on trend come autumn, but as the weather makes the change, black natural makeup can be a bit too heavy. According to Stylist, silver is the perfect shade as an alternative to black and during the A/W shows, grey was everywhere. One edgy way of incorporating the shade into your natural makeup palette is go for silver on the lid and to leave the rest of the eye bare – no liner or mascara – which will then draw attention to your peepers. Christian Dior's national make-up artist, Jamie Coombes, said: 'Apply shadow with a moist brush as this creates a brilliant intensity and gives a fantastic finish'. If you fancy a more colourful autumn, then incorporate shades such as tawny reds and olive greens into your smoky eye too. 
Posted by Annie Coyne Women have been told that if they are looking for a cheap and simple way to jazz up their look ready for autumn, the best natural hair care advice is to get the full fringe. Beauty news source Look has reported that everyone from Angelina Jolie to Katy Perry is now sporting one, and it's the easiest fashion fix, due to the fact that it completely changes any existing style into an edgy one. 'Take care, though: finding the perfect fringe for your face shape can be a tricky task,' the website asserted. There is a huge variety of natural hair care styles to choose from, whether you go for the blunt fringe like Ms Perry, the wispy fringe like Ms Jolie or something in between like Coleen Rooney. If you don't fancy updating your cut but are looking for a new style to add some glamour to the winter months, then waves are where its at – take your inspiration from our natural hair styling crushes such as Anna Paquin and Maggie Gyllenhaal. 
Posted by Alison Paquette Ladies looking to enhance their features with natural makeup have been told to mix it up and research what shades will suit them best. A blogger on Divine Caroline has explained that the same trend will not automatically suit everyone and it is about experimenting and 'mixing it up a little' to find the right shade to suit you. For natural makeup fans with brown eyes, rich purples, plums, dark browns and greys are the ideal colours, whereas for those with blue or grey eyes, browns, golds and greys are for you. Ladies with green peepers were told to embrace natural makeup shades that include purple as this brings out the vivid colour in the eyes. The commentator went on to say that mascara should always be black or for those with pale skin, dark brown. Marie-Andree Guimont, writing for Divine, recently told natural makeup fans that the trends have taken a more sophisticated turn and one of the main features for autumn will be perfect, flawless skin.
