Some of the new colors and products from makeup manufacturers include: Cover Girl Twilighting Collection's Outlast Shimmers Shade Enhancing Top Coat in colors such as amethyst crystal, quartz and topaz. A gloss that adds glitter and conditioners when worn over lipstick. Revlon's Amber Ablaze collection aims to create an antique metallized effect in shades of pumpkin, red and brown.

Eye Glossing is a shimmery cream eyeshadow that can be used on the lid or in the crease. American Eagle introduces its first color kits. The Eyelights are sheer eyeshadows in two four-way palettes, Starry Night Sparkler featuring blues and purples, and Sunlit Radiance Sparkler with shades of brown. C-Me has a three-in-one sheer glitter lip gel called Yes No Maybe that also has a berry-flavor. MAC Cosmetics' new eye shadow colors include Shadowy Lady, a deep plum, and Quarry, an "understated" plum.

The company's newest Lipglass shades are a coppered plum called Lovechild, a toffee called Revealing and Entice, a spice color.

The baroque look lends itself to deeper color, she explains. "Big doe eyes are the focal point seeped in depths of color and rich textures, or subtle neutrals with pops of mauve, pink or eggplant, and set with kohl liners and lots of mascara," according to Green, who put together a fall preview for Sephora. Since the emphasis is on the eyes, Green recommends using barely tinted peach-colored lipsticks and blushes. But the almost natural-looking lips and cheeks are a prime canvas for glitter, she adds.

"There's quite a lot of glitter out there," says Green, who for the long-lasting look uses a damp brush to apply the glitter. "The makeup shouldn't be a flat or matte. The colors have a two-tone quality or satin finish." For a flower child-chic face, Green suggests using a shimmery peach eyeshadow on eyelids with turquoise shadow pressed into the eye crease and under the last line. The eyes of her bohemian-luxe look are created with a glittery purple shadow smudged with a light violet shadow on the lid. Using a damp brush, press a dark brown shadow into eye corners and under the lash line to highlight intense color.

An all-over peach color gets blended high on the cheek bone with a dash of deep purple on the apples. Try a light layer of Glitter Lipstick in violet on the mouth, Green suggests. Green acknowledges, though, these rather dramatic looks aren't for everyone. Other new cosmetics options include Cargo's palette of neutral and sheer berry and brown colors that pay homage to the elegance of Ingrid Bergman, Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly.

Makeup artist Sue Devitt, the founder of Sue Devitt Studio cosmetics, says most women ease into a new beauty routine. "Most women tend to wear a neutral palette because it's a safety zone. To encourage them out of it, I'd use an eye intensifier or eyeliner with an intense color a deep smoky purple would begood around the lash-line, both above and below, and smudge it with the fingertip," 5 Chase scene amid futuristic skyscrapers in "Attack of the Clones" (top) I 5 II PHOTOS J'L Apply a cream-colored shadow over Devitt explains. Trina is no 'Princess' km By Wes Woods II THE DESERT SUN Trying to please everybody never works. And hip-hop artist Trina proves the theory with "Diamond Princess," her second release on Slip-N-SlideAt-lantic records.

The 25-year-old Miami rapper changes her vulgar rhyming style by cutting the curse words in half and tweaking her energetic flow at times to lackluster results. Another missing piece is the mid-tempo bounce drum blasts sprinkled with horns and basslines that made her a star. In their place are generic hip-hop tracks by Jay-Z producers Just Blaze and Kanye West, Missy Elliot and others. And Trina's star quality is dimmed by inviting guests who rhyme circles around her pedestrian flow. Ludacris' superb enunciation makes the string heavy Right" an immediate hit, while Fabolous and Eve provide CPR to the poor tracks and weak choruses on "How We Do?" and "Ladies 1st," respectively.

Maybe that's why Trina recruited Missy Elliot to write and produce "No Panties," which features Tweet. Unfortunately, it sounds like Missy, not Trina. But when she returns to the raunchy sex talk, aggressive delivery and familiar sounds on "Told VA11" which features Rick Ross and "Nasty she succeeds. Two songs, however, do not make a "Diamond Wes Woods II is a features reporter for The Desert Sun.
