Cold weather is starting to creep around the corner. What a perfect time to pullout our favorite jackets and boots or even our “can’t-live-without” oversized sweater. It is super early and about 49 degrees out. I am sitting on my couch watching the latest Fashion Police with my silver and black oversized sweater, thigh high cotton socks, shorts and a t-shirt. I couldn’t help but share my all-time need-to-know beauty tips before heading out to my early morning photoshoot in DC. I hope this will inspire you to spruce it up, change it up and dare to be effortlessly fearless.
Makeup Tip # 1: Strong eye shadow is best suited to on a natural, flawless face and completely bare lips. Skip the mascara and allow the colors to pop on their own.
Makeup Tip #2: Apply black shadow over your eyeliner to help keep it on all night long.
Makeup Tip #3: Have freckles? Don’t hide what makes you, you! Add a thin natural base to help enhance them.
Makeup Tip #4: Boost your contours by shading! Apply brown blush underneath the cheekbones for definition.
Makeup Tip #5: Express your sensual side by wearing pale blue shadow with red lips.
Makeup Tip #6: For a unique and spectacular lip look, use a dark purple lip pencil around the contours of the lip, continue with a brighter purple, and finish with a hot pink color placed in the center of your lips.
Makeup Tip #7: Mix usage… Blushes can be used as shadow and vice versa.
Makeup Tip #8: For a modern dramatic look, combine a bold eye color with a deep dark lip.
Makeup Tip #9: Make your own couture lip color by mixing your favorite shadow with a clear lip gloss or Vaseline.
Makeup Tip #10: Brighten tired eyes with a crème or white pencil. Apply to the inner rim of your eye. For a more reflective effect find a liner with a little shimmer built in.
