If you are a natural girl and don’t like
too much makeup highlight your face to
make it glow, it will look fresh and more
elegant. You should apply a highlighter
with a small brush or your fingers if you
choose a cream product. Take a small
amount of a highlighter and apply on the
highest points of your face: cheekbones,
brow bone, chin, bridge of the nose and
Cupid’s bow. The key is to blend it into
your skin seamlessly so it looks natural.
You could also simply apply some coral,
peachy pink blusher to bring that flushed
cheek effect as seen on many catwalk
shows this season. Coat your lashes with
mascara to make your eyes stand out a
bit and finish the look with a lip gloss.
If you choose your lips to be the main
focus be brave and play with colours.
The Autumn/Winter 2015 lipstick colour
palette range is very wide - from the
classic red, ripe berry, blackcurrant to
plum, black and more. Don’t be afraid
and bring some attitude to your look.
To make your lips stand out even more
apply some gold or silver eyeshadow
in the centre of your lips or add a bit
of glitter and apply clear gloss over
them. Your lips will sparkle from far.
Combine this look with natural eye
makeup and remember to match a lip
liner with your chosen lipstick. Cover
your lips with it and spread the colour
with a lip brush to ensure they are well
covered. Apply a thin layer of lipstick
with the same lip brush and set it with
a loose powder. Here is how: separate
one layer of a tissue, place it on your
lips, take a fluffy brush and dab it into
loose powder, shake of the excess and
apply on your lips. Reapply your lipstick
once again. Remember to choose long
lasting formulas so you can dance the
night away without worrying about your
makeup. Finally, whichever look you
are going for remember that your brows
should be well groomed and tidy at all
times and your under eye circles wellhidden too.
New Year is a great opportunity to
choose a bold extravagant makeup,
but remember, it should go with your
hairstyle and your outfit so don’t
overdo it.
Don’t be afraid to try something new
and step into the New Year playful and
bright and don’t forget to remove all that
makeup at the end of the night!
Have a wonderful festive season.
