Amazing Amethyst – makeup idea for New Year’s magical night

Published on December 31, 2008 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: eyes, eyeshadow, glitter, lipstick, makeup, mascara, New Year, powder, skin.

Take a white shimmer shadow like Collection 2000 Eye wear in star gaze, and blend around the inner corner of your eyes and up over your brow bone. This will act as an eye brightening base color.
Apply a light lilac powder eyeshadow over your lids, blending it right up on to your brow bone. I like Marks&Spencer eyeshadow in pale lavender.
Layer a dark purple shadow shade over your lids, like Prestige Cosmetics skin loving minerals eyeshadow in opal.
Line your upper lash line and the upper and lower inner rim of your eyes with a metallic grey kohl pencil to make the white of your eyes stand out. Look for one with a hint of glitter, like Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in meteorite, to give a gorgeous hint of sparkle.
Keep skin looking natural by using an apricot blush like 17 Sheer finish mineral blush in natural, over your cheeks. Don’t be tempted to go too pale – you’ll look dead, not just a bit vampish!
To finish, coat lips with a peachy lipstick, like Rimmel London moisture renew lipstick in glamorous pink, for a natural, low-key look.

Top tip

Swap your usual black wand for a purple mascara to really make your amethyst eyes stand out.

Prep eyelids with a beige cream shadow. Next, carefully press peach glitter on top with a brush. Under the eye, extend an icy white liquid shimmer all over the top of the cheekbone.

Intense and cold colors for winter?

Stars love the new trend: blue make-up!

Purple was the season trend in clothing and accessories. Blue will be in trend in 2009. What do you prefer? Purple eyelids? Or maybe blue? Whatever is your favorite color, be brave and wear it!

It’s unfair to avoid intense blue and strong purple eyeshadow. I think they are the perfect colors to outline the beauty of brown, black and green eyes, and even the olive natural skins or tanned. If your iris is blue, then purple eyeshadow it’s recommended.

Give up the eyeshadows in discreet colors at least for a while: brown, bronze, peach and pastel! It is time for a stronger and baldy color.

Candy Gloss lips

Rub a bright pink lipstick into the lips. Really get it in there to give it staying powder. Next, apply a juicy orange or coral lipgloss liberally to the centre of the lips and follow with a clear lipgloss brushed over the rest of the mouth. This way, the colors won’t bleed into each other and you’ll get a brilliant two-tone viny! effect.

I recommend keeping your eye makeup simple. A shimmery wash of color and mascara is plenty.

Silver Grey-new makeup style

Silver grey makeup accentuates your eyes. Wear this shadow in any moment of the day and in the evening transform it in smokie only by a touch of brush. You can get inspiration from the look proposed by Salvadore Ferragamo for this season: silvery eyelids, thin irisations on the inner corners of the eye and “naked” lips. As far as the eyebrows, we won’t be oversolicitating the pincer.

Try yourself:

Sephora Radiance Mist – you don’t want your face to shine, but also not to be very dull!
Lancome color fever gloss
Chanel Fluid iridescent eyeshadow, 6ml. Apply it on the superior eyelids.
Revlon Colorstay 12 hour eyeshadow. Use the most bright shadow to illuminate the inner corners of the eye.
Clarins Waterproof Eye Pencil
Estee Lauder Perfectionist Wrinkle lifting serum, 50ml.
Clinique superfit make-up oil free longwear.
L’Oreal Paris Khol Mineral liner pudre mineral. Line the superior eyelid after you had applied a silvery eyeshadow in a brighter color.
Bourjois Blush tomette d’or.
Collistar silk Effect Loose powder Golden Pearl. After fond de tent, apply powder over the eyelids to ensure the eye shadow’s resistance.

Spectacular eye look- how to get it

Smokey eyes Eyeshadow applied generously around the eye, no matter the color, will accentuate your look. Play with the shade – don’t neglect the electric shades ( neon blue a la Proenza Schouler) – keeping in mind that the most en vogue are grey – cement ( Diane Von Fustenberg and Valentino), earthy shades (bleumarin, Vivienne Westwood and Moschino) and gold( Roberto Cavalli and Versace).

Lines Delicate line draw with black or brown eyeliner is very trendy this season ( from Dsquared2, Moschino or Bill Blass). Not even heavy lines, draw carefully on the superior eyelid, can be called old fashioned, proof are daring makeups -inspired from the Gothic style- from Ermanno Scervino, Lanvin, Dior or Victor& Rolf fashion shows.

There are two tricks to make bright makeup work for anyone. If you’re pale, stick to sheer washes of color. If not, use a punchy shade in just one area of the face, like your eyes or lips. When condition are humid and sizzling, work with the heat, don’t fight it. Avoid waterproof products – they’re a pain to take off!. Instead, choose cream formulations that blend into the skin and give a glow. The result will be sexily smudgy.

To create the blue eyes, warm a sea-blue eye pencil between your hands, the apply it to the back of your hand. Dipp in an eyeshadow brush ( a cotton bud works, too) and smudged the color along the top and bottom lash lines. Lips and cheeks got a simple wash of shimmery pale pink – doing this will ensure all eyes are on you. Continue reading ‘True colors’
