THE DEMOS
We got to have a play with the trends in the form of watching a few trend demos and also creating the new Arti-tech trend on each other! Unfortunatly I can't share with you what products are coming out for A/W '12 *classified information guys* but I'll be pleased to tell you there are some amazing new things coming out! Lots of new limited edition autumn collections with real kit must haves if you're a mua & some really inspiring products if you're a makeup lover!
But for now, have a look at these pics for inspiration on the new trends!

I have to say I'm really excited about the Roam-antique trend! I'm going to dig out my binidi's and rusty pigments!
I also found this old makeup from a shoot I did like a year ago! Check it out! It's very "Roam-antique" ;-P
Here are some photos I snapped from the new A/W Trend Book *I NEED THIS BOOK IN MY LIFE!*
I also came across a lovely blurb on a Trend Masterclass. Check out these tidbits for more inspiration on Roam-Antique & Arti-Tech *taken straight from Mostly Sunnybunny*
Roam-Antique
"Below is Elke’s finished model. Besides the jewel-toned colors, she also deconstructed the shape she created with a Q-tip and makeup remover. (See the two white lines on the side?) Just in case you’re curious, Elke used In Synch Lip Pencil.
This is Rose Gold Pigment mixed with a water-based mixing medium. Elke used it on the model’s eyebrows
Metallic jewel tones will stay big for autumn ), as you can see in the pigment Elke used:

Arti-tech
Mac artist Baltasar defined the word “edgy” in a very different way. He wanted to create something graphic, and he used a lot of his favorite product, MAC Blacktrack Fluidline to achieve it. He also mentioned a concept that revolutionized the way I look at makeup. You know how people always tell you to keep your lips toned down if your eyes are strong? Baltasar doesn’t see that as a form of balance. Instead, he thinks there is also balance in pairing strong eyes with strong lips. The lip shade is Smoked Purple mixed with Girl About Town.
