Halloween and the upcoming release of New Moon, the anticipated sequel to Twilight, has women of all ages coming to Beauty Collection for Edward’s vampire bite marks.

The New Moon movie premiere is just around the corner and it has women of all ages dying to be a real-life ‘Bella.’ Enter Beauty Collection’s Halloween makeovers.

Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through Halloween, professional makeup artists at all three Beauty Collection locations have been helping locals with their Halloween looks. The number one requested look? Bite marks and white powdered faces courtesy of the upcoming movie, New Moon.

Last weekend a mob of teenage girls, moms, and even a few elderly women rushed to the closest Beauty Collection to get their very own ‘Edward Bite.’

A few appeared to take things a little too seriously. One fan in particular went overboard as she clawed her way to the front of the line at the Beauty Collection in Calabasas, screamed “Edward is mine!“, and vanished out the front door with a jar of fake blood.

Once again, the obsession to bring the saga of ‘Edward & Bella’ to real-life has left the entire male gender confused.

If you want Edward’s vampire bite or another Halloween look, visit any of the Beauty Collection stores in the Los Angeles Farmers Market, the Commons at Calabasas, or Malibu Country Mart this Friday or Saturday. Join the fun!

Zombieland Inspires Early Halloween Scares in the Southland

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) October 17, 2009 — The new blockbuster movie, Zombieland, continues to be at the center of weird and strange happenings across the nation. This time, it has Los Angeles beauty shoppers running scared.

Said one shopper at The Commons at Calabasas last weekend: “I walked outside, and got so terrified by what I saw I just started screaming. It didn’t help that a person wearing the Zombie makeup came running toward me to see what was wrong.”

“He’s lucky I didn’t taser him!”

A similar sighting at the Malibu Country Mart resulted in Dra Kula, a local clothing retailer from the Romanian countryside, locking his door and calling the police. “I didn’t know what was happening,” Dra Kula told a local news station. “What I saw was so freakish, so scary that I figured I was better safe than sorry. So I locked the front door, and dialed 9-1-1.”

In both cases, local beauty retailer Beauty Collection was to blame. When called for comment, in between fits of screaming laughter, the head of PR said “This is Los Angeles, and we figured our customers would enjoy getting a real Halloween Makeover. We’re offering them at all three of our stores every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through Halloween.”

“We had no idea some people would take it so seriously!”

So, if you’re near a Beauty Collection store in the Los Angeles Farmers Market, the Commons at Calabasas, or Malibu Country Mart during the weekends leading up to Halloween and see something a little out of the ordinary, don’t freak out. It’s just makeup.

Top Ten Fall Beauty Trends

blog title1 Top Ten Fall Beauty Trends

Get ready to experiment with color this Fall! This season, the palette is bold and dramatic—focusing on rich earth tones, smoldering grays and blacks, and even some bright purples and teals. While there’s plenty of ’70s and ’80s nostalgia behind these hot Fall styles, modern touches make them entirely now. From the latest eyeshadow hues to the “in” lip colors, Beauty Collection has everything you need to stand out this season.

1 Eye candy

For a playful, dramatic evening look, deliciously bright purples and turquoises are the hot colors this season. Runway models are sporting thick, bold candy colors under the rims of their eyes as well as on the lids.  Not feeling the raccoon look? Stick to eyelids only, but go with a bold swath of color. Don’t forget a matching eyeliner, like Stila Kajal, which is available in amethyst, emerald, and sapphire.

2 Cat’s Eyes

For perfect cat’s eye makeup, the secret is in the eyeliner. Practice with an eyeliner pencil first, then try a liquid eyeliner like Blinc Kiss Me Eyeliner. The trick is to extend the line slightly beyond the lid with a small upward turn.

3 Smoldering Looks

Black-rimmed eyes, like those sported by Heidi Klum, are a must this season. Start with a black matte eyeshadow like Stila Smudge Pot in Black. The key is to blend it well and create soft edges. Add a touch of shimmery silver to give it a softer, less Goth look with Stript Crushed Mineral Eye Shadow in Katrina.

4 Shades of Gray

For a softer look on the smoky side, gray eyeshadow—whether silver, gunmetal, or charcoal—is a must. Try Stila Smokey Eye Palette in Sapphire for a more subdued version.

5 Bold Brows

Go easy on the tweezers this fall! The natural look sported by Jennifer Connolly and Megan Fox is a great way to bring out your eyes. For fuller, thicker brows, try Anastasia Nu Brows, a formula designed to help promote growth while conditioning and restoring existing brows.

6 Dark Lips

Sugar plums and burgundies are the lip colors this season. Be sure to choose a color that works with your complexion—deep berry hues complement darker skin tones, while lighter shades work better for fair skin. For long-lasting color that won’t feather, use LipFusion Micro Injected Collagen Clear Lip Pump, designed to plump up lips and bring out lipstick’s true shade.

7 Big, Retro Hair

Hairstyles this season are a blast from the past with a modern twist. Whether you go with ’70s-inspired long, wavy locks like Gisele or opt for a more extreme ’80s homage like the Mohawksporting Rihanna, make sure to pump up the volume with the Fekkai Full Blown Volume Collection. Be sure to try the Full Volume Conditioner, Full Volume Mousse, and Full Volume Instant Root Lifting Spray.

8  Warmer Hair Hues

Say goodbye to the bright, sun-soaked colors of summer and hello to the richer tints of autumn. Take a cue from Katherine Heigl, who recently traded her trademark blonde for auburn, featuring rich cinnamon and chocolate hues. Go with warm, natural lowlights—honeyhued for blondes; burgundy for brunettes. Use Fekkai Salon Color which comes with a brush and a bowl for an easy at-home salon quality experience. Then lock in your color with Fekkai’s Technician Color Care 3-minute Mask.

9  Contoured Cheeks

For sculpted cheekbones like Keira Knightley, the secret is in the shading. Try using three colors, such as Senna Radiance Face Trio, to highlight the cheekbones. Apply a darker color along the cheekbones, use a lighter shade for the apple of your cheeks, then finish off with a light powder.

10 Matte Makeup

So long, shimmer! In cooler seasons, it’s all about matte for a flawless look. Available in ten different shades,  Stript Crushed Mineral Foundation offers perfect coverage without clogging pores. The mineral based foundation absorbs excess oils while protecting the skin from harmful UV rays—who could ask for anything more?
