General tips

Moisturizer: it is not an option, it is a must, ’cause it makes your face ready to the next step – foundation – a light layer of foundation must be applied all over the face either with a sponge or fingers. Powder – I would recommend to use a compact one, because you must feel yourself comfortable while celebration. Blush – I think, a blush with a pearl shine will be ideal, you’ll spark the night! Brows – just emphasize them with a pencil.

And now, the most thrilling part, festive looks:

1. Hot tropics 2008

   Soft and gentle gold shine, warm colours. You need to emphasize and make main accent on eyes and the rest of makeup must be simple. Cheeks and lips have natural shine. Make a thin line over your upper eye-lid with a brown pencil and then stump it with a brush. Apply bronze or beige eye-shadows all over your upper lid and inner corners of your eyes highlight with light gold eye-shadows. Lips must be almost neutral, glossy and they must shimmer.

   

2. Purple star

   In this case main accent will be made on lips. Use a lip-liner and make an accurate and distinct contour, apply lipstick and then powder your lips. With the help of eye-pencil make a thin line with a dark-blue pencil and stump it, apply eye-shadows in the same tone.

   

3. Winter cherry

   It is an ideal variant for those, desiring to emphasize all parts of a face and not to look like a “bright doll”. Use colours of the same palette. Cherry colours will be OK. As a result – nice, pretty face with natural makeup.

In any case, remember opulence is just a cool tendency in clothing and not in makeup, so people must pay attention to you and not your makeup. Good luck and have great parties!

I think it is not a secret to you, that sometimes you can look for information (I mean in the web) a rather long period of time, actually, wasting it, I hate it. So, I suppose it is not bad, to share my views and goods news with you. This time I spent my time very useful, here I found a photo of Hillary Duff, a very glamorous and gorgeous young celebrity. I liked her and thought that her beauty is natural and after the following photos, I changed my mind and understood, that Photoshop is a great invention and it helps celebrities to look perfect, decent and sometimes even stunning. The first one is really amazing and now, please, the second one, without make up and stylist…

I remember, that I have already touched upon this topic in Celebrities Boobs and Celebrities without make up, I even remember that I came to a conclusion – celebrities are people, as well and have opportunity not to look irresistible 24 hours 7 days a week, but… I just can’t look at these photos and be calm and quiet. Celebrities can at least try, because in such a case it is no use to depict them ideal. Look at your photos, how many of them look excellent, where not only make up is perfectly applied, but colour of your skin is flawless and hair-do seems to be unbelievably well done? One or two, or none. But, celebrities look flawless, we do believe they are flawless, that’s why it is so painful to disappoint.

If you are carefully following my posts, you already know what is popular this season and about what it is better to forget, so I just decided to widen your horizon and systemize your knowledge about make up and dress-code, especially, when a new tendency has appeared and its name is Glamour Gothic. Where did it come from? It became obvious after the catwalks of the famous fashion designers, ’cause namely them dictate us what is fashionable and what is not.

Main detail of this season is eyes. Why? It sounds rather trite but they are the window to the soul. And nobody can change this situation. Glamorous gothic is a combination of gothic itself and glam-rock. I am sure, this news will shock blondes, because it is really challenging to imagine a blond woman with radically black eye-shadows. But, look at Anna Kurnikiva (a sexy Russian tennis-player) she is not afraid of this tendency and even liked it. So, after visiting and looking at the models on the most authoritative catwalks, you can perfectly see their look, a look of the London fog. Make your eyes black and grey is also possible.

Now, another part of our face that has a strong connection to eyes - lashes. This autumn and winter they must be incredibly long, full and curvy. Pay attention, upper and lower lashes can be of the same length. Thus, your eyes will be amazing and look – intriguing and languishing. The following eye-lashes are of great success this season: Double Extension, Carbon Black from L’Oreal Paris, Maxi Lash, 13 Wonder Black from Guerlain, Luxurious Mascara for a False Lash Effect from YSL etc. Also, it considered to be very trendy, to use a combination of black and white mascaras. Some stylists are even going to emphasize the play of eye-liner and eye-shadows and don’t use mascara at all. So, don’t forget black colour is on the top of popularity and abundance in eye-shadows usage is almost a must!

Then eye-brows. This summer they used to be big, natural and bold, but now there is a tendency to make small, thin eye-brows. Or even not to pay attention to them at all, thus, neutralizing them.

Black colour of your lips, they will look as you have overeaten blackberries and don’t have a napkin to clean your lips. Also, autumn 2007 allows you to make your eyes black and your lips red, it is not vulgar anymore.
