How to Get the 2016 Look
While trends tend to repeat themselves, the way we wear makeup has evolved tremendously. Lip gloss, bright blush and
thin eyebrows were all the rage in 2006.
However, to be “beat to the gawds” in 2016, it is all about thick shapely brows, long lashes, pouty pigmented lips, a dewy,
flawless finish, and let’s not forget, a highlight that blinds onlookers. Nudes, neutrals, and everyone’s favorite burgundy,
wine color never fail, but true artists don’t shy away from using the bright colors of the rainbow in their makeup as well. In
a nutshell, the new age makeup trend is flawless, natural and glam.
Contour | Create natural shadowing with contouring makeup:
Highlight | Bring out features
with highlighting makeup:
Contour either using bronzer (just
make sure it’s not too reddish-orange
in color) or foundation that’s a shade
or two darker than your usual. Gel
eyebrow pencil can work well, too,
especially when contouring the nose.
• Edges of the forehead, hollows of the
cheeks., sides of the nose, jawline.
• Optional: eye creases. Tip your chin
up while looking in a mirror to see
the shadows in the creases of your
eyes. Apply contouring makeup to the
crease.
• Center of the forehead. Apply
highlighting makeup to the center
of the forehead. Don’t apply highlighter between the brows themselves.
• Tip of the nose. Apply a tiny line
of highlighting makeup down the
bridge of the nose.
• Tops of cheekbones amd top of
the lip. Use thin strokes to apply
highlighter to the tops of cheekbones, angling the outer edges
upward to follow the natural shape
of the bones.

Brows | It’s all about finding the
shape that works for your face:
The first step to getting the perfect
eyebrow shape is good grooming
and upkeep of the brow. There are
many ways to achieve this:
• Tweezing, waxing, threading, or
simply using a brow brush to comb
through the brow and snip where
needed with a cosmetic scissor will
get you sharp, fresh looking brow
• Filling in the brow with the right
color eyebrow pencil, pastel or pomade, will enhance and define the
shape of the brow, while also filling
in scarce areas.
Lips | Nudes, neutrals, and
deep colors galore!
Whether it is matte or a glossy
finish, the lipstick you use adds so
much character to the face.
• Begin with clean, smooth, moisturized lips, then choose a liner
that is a bit darker that shade of
your lipstick.
• Apply the liner to perimeter of
your lips. For a fuller, more pouty
look that is in style, shade in the
liner a little more at the perimeter
of you bottom lip, as well your top
lip.
• Apply the lipstick, and using
you finger, blend the edges where
the liner and lipstick meet for a
flawless finish.
