 Check out what's hot this winter!
A t last it is Carnival time. The time of fun, enjoyment and yes - adventurous makeup! It's a perfect time to experiment with colours and make a bold statement with your look. Traditionally Carnival is full of sparkle and intense colours. For this season makeup artists recommend gold, silver, graphite and plum. These colours happen to be among my personal favourites too. Use your imagination to compile your own look and do not feel confined to the contents of your makeup bag. Try something new and explore your imagination.
For the beautiful mirrors of your soul It is recommended that you concentrate your efforts to create an unforgettable makeup on your eyes. There is a reason behind this. It is highly probable that your eye makeup will last the whole night with only minor touch-ups. You can also use an eye shadow base to minimise wearing off of your eye shadows.
Let the eyes do the talking, use:
 Urban Decay Ammo Box  Clinique Plum Seduction Ammo Box from Urban Decay - 10 best selling eye shadows for the 10th anniversary of Urban Decay. A must have. You can create many different looks with this set ranging from smoky eyes to a very delicate natural eye makeup.Plum Seduction quad from Clinique - lilac, blueberry and silver beige mix. It is elegant and classy and goes well with almost every eye colour. Especially recommended for green eyes.  Too Faced Lash Gems Lash Gems from Too Faced will give your lashes that extra sparkle you need. One pack contains approximately 100 black blue, pink, and white gems. Alternatively you can try false lashes from MAC. There are many varieties to choose from.Diorshow from Dior is my favourite mascara when it comes to creating black, thick and long lashes.  No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil it's a great complimentary product to get the smoky eyes look. Smudge tip is included so you can touch-up your eye makeup wherever you please. For the outstanding arches Make the eyebrows work for you. They can be one of the most outstanding features of your face. Make sure they are groomed to perfection and well presented. You can use one of many products available to show off your brows.
 BeneFit Brow Zings I simply love Brow Zings from BeneFit, containing brow shadow, brow wax to keep hairs in place as well as two small brushes and small tweezers. It is all you need to create a gorgeous frame for your eyes. Other brands for example Clinique or The Body Shop also offer similar products. I also recommend Beautiful Brow Pencil from No 7. It comes with a brush to comb your brows when needed.For the perfect pout During the party, as always, we want our lipstick to stay on as long as possible. It is a natural course of action that it wears off as we eat or drink. You may give up to the temptation to use a long wearing lipstick that can dry out your lips. Remember to apply some lip balm every now and then during the night to keep your pout smooth and sensuous. Here are some gorgeous products that will make your lips sexy:  Dior Diorlight Diorlight from Dior - an elegant necklace containing a lipstick and a small mirror inside. Available in two shades. A beauty accessory and a piece of jewellery in one. It is great for quick touch-ups when your lips need attention. It looks cool too!  Lancome Precious Light Precious Light from Lancome - a beautifully packaged silver lipstick. Perfect addition to the smoky eyes look. 24k sexy gold lip gloss from BeneFit - you can wear it alone or over your lipstick. If you are looking for full coverage gold try 24k sexy gold lipstick. Delightful. If you are a fan of red lips then look no further.  Lancome Rouge Desir Rouge Absolute in Rouge Desir is a great sparkling red shade. It will give you a full coverage and at the same time it is not too much in your face - a beautiful and flattering shade.
For the skin as sparkling as a champagne A beautiful complexion is always in fashion. Endeavour to prepare your skin well for the big night out. Plenty of moisturiser will guarantee you a fresh and supple complexion. Give your face a gentle exfoliation one day before the party to get rid of dull skin. Your makeup will look so much better and last longer when applied on well moisturised and smooth complexion.  TooFaced Kitty Glitter Kitty Glitter form TooFaced comes in blue, pink or white shimmering colour. You can sprinkle it on all over your shoulders and cleavage. Mix it with your lip gloss or sprinkle over your lipstick to make sure everyone sees you!
 The Body Shop Brush on Shimmer Brush on Shimmer from The Body Shop will enable you to achieve a subtle golden glow wherever you need it. You can use it all over your face and body. The colour is subtle enough to work well with every skin tone.
For the perfect complexion use a mineral foundation. It offers light to full coverage depending on your needs and it is water and sweat proof. There are many mineral foundations to choose from. For a night out I recommend  L'Oreal True Match Minerals L'Oreal True Match Minerals. It comes with a brush should you require to reapply during the evening. For a touch of colour and glow on your cheeks use  Clinique Fresh Bloom Allover Colour Clinique's Fresh Bloom Allover Colour. You can sweep it over face and neck for an all over glow. Or apply it to your cheeks to highlight its apples. For the bits polished to perfection Before the event look well after your hands - wear gloves! Use nail polish base or protective nail hardener before you apply colour. Try one of nail polishes from  Barry M Limited Edition Silver Gift Box Barry M. With so many shades available it will be a hard task. Gold, silver or neon yellow? Or do you prefer black, red black or grey? You have fifty shades to choose from. Take your time. I recommend limited edition silver collection that comprises of glossy metallic Nail Paint, silver Kohl Pencil and pure silver Dazzle Dust.
The party season is a perfect time to explore your inner makeup artist. Voila. Well done. You are ready to conquer the dance floors. Just remember to remove your makeup thoroughly after the party finishes. Good girl :)Nelayer... |
