According to Max Factor officials, they have been dreaming about Gisele to present their cosmetics, but she had a contract with Victoria’s Secret, so, it was impossible. But, now, everything has changed and the campaign will start by summer.

Do you still remember who is the current face of Max Factor’s makeup line? Yeah, Carmen Electra indeed. There were no responses from her yet. However,  a company spokesperson didn’t even try to deny, that  Carmen Electra is the face of the brand.

Let’s wait, I think very soon Gisele will improve her status on the Forbes’ list and become a super rich model.

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’ve always been dreaming about a lip gloss and a moisturizing creme in one product, and finally, I found something like this, dear ladies, Bourjois La Creme Lip Gloss is to your attention.

Advantages:

• possesses a luxurious texture with a large number of various nourishing agents;
• this gloss is not a sticky one;
• contains macadamia nut and sweet almond oils;
• ensures long-lasting and superior shine;
• goes in 6 colours (even a choosy client will be satisfied);
• take care about your lips the same as a lip balm;
• smells delicious;
• will shows signs of ending in a year or something near this date;

Disadvantages:

• actually, the shine isn’t superior (so, if you want your lips look wet and sexy, better buy “Glam Shine” from L’Oreal);
• the smell is too pronounced and sometimes even annoying;
• I don’t like rolls – it is not very easy to apply lip gloss from them in a shipshape manner;

But, this gloss really works, my lips are gentle, without any cracks and cuts!

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.

Autumn has finally come and brought new tendencies, new trends and directions in makeup applying. Fortunately, it is impossible to name this autumn makeup boring/ Stylists provide us with a great variety of colours and choices. So, the following forecast will help you to stay tuned during the autumn months!

September: The colourful smoky eye

It is not a secret, that it is still warm in September. But, fortunately or unfortunately, we all have calendar and we can do nothing about it and its time to change your clothes and appearance right at this time. Smoky eyes forever! It is a motto of the September 2007! But not a usual smoky eye effect, usage of black, brown and other dark colours is forbidden, you have to apply only either natural colours or bright ones: purple, green, blue, taupe. Thus, you will look glam and caught between two seasons. A very stylish tendency. Very often such a makeup can seem too bright, especially in the contrast with autumn fading colours, in such a case, tone down your eye shadows or eye-liner with pale or beige powder.

October: Back to 1960s

Have you already got acquainted with main trends for Autumn/Winter 2007/2008? So, in case of positive answer, you have to know, that 60’s are on the top of popularity, the same with makeup. Heavy eyes and pale lips. What can be more trivial, usual  and at the same time beautiful? Each time this make up looks incredible and great. So, take an eye-liner with semi-dark pencil and follow applying with eye shadows of the same colour, curl your lashes before applying mascara, but a tip of this season! You don’t want to neutralize your lips? You want them to enhance their natural beauty? It is so easy – just take a lipstick of the same colour as your lips are.

November: Matte

Matte skin, face and the whole your body. You just can’t look bright, there can’t be any additional colours on your face and forget about oily skin, it is a mauvais ton of the Autumn 2007 – just be as matte as possible! How to obtain such results? Diets, skin regime, visiting of expensive spas and saloon procedures, use toner or blotter sheets, powder eye shadow, put base base under your shadow… It doesn’t matter, just make your skin look matte. And don’t forget, no lip gloss, just a lipstick.

They are so beautiful, they are so cool! Nobody can compare with them as to the shape of their eyes, lips and their sexy curves are beyond any praise. But, sometimes, it turned out, that celebs are not fashion icons and pretty-women at all! Sometimes, everything is made with a help of well-known and even ill-known programs! So, celebs without make up are to your attention!

Eyes! What can be more important to our friends, bosses, colleagues and just interlocutors. Never forget, while communicating, where do you look at? Yeah! At the face and then? Directly into someone’s eyes. They are capable of revealing emotions, attitudes, reactions. It is very important to pay due attention to them, their appearance and, of course make up. Knowing how to apply eye shadows and how to create a successful eye make up seems more sophisticated than make-up of any other part of your face because here we deal with a great number of colors, methods and ways to make our eyes look irresistible. And, one minor detail, eye make up is the most effective one. As your eyes are a mirror of your soul and heart, of your inner world and preferences. They are main part of your body and face. It is so necessary to keep your eyes in focus. No doubt, a perfect make up, made in accordance with make up techniques can make a Queen out of a Cinderella. But, be careful, don’t apply excessive eye shadow – it will make you look awful and unattractive!

So, the following techniques can be called the most important in eye makeup. They are basic as well. So, you can gather with your friends and make experiments with them.

Create the Illusion of Depth!

First of all, pat attention to what you are applying. Powder and compact eye shadows are the best variant, they can be used either moist or dry, they never leek and don’t make combs. Pencils look beautiful and make your eyes bigger and wider, but if you can not make an even line, don’ even try, your face will look untidy and awkward. Cream shadows are difficult to control.

Be ready to experiment!

Well, you have green eyes, so the only one color of your eye shadow is green! It is a common mislead. Don’t afraid to make various experiments! Try different colors and you will see the difference and find the balance and an optimal variant! Try a technique of neutral eye make up, and in such a case people will look into your eyes and not at them. But, of course, neutral doesn’t necessarily means, to make nothing out of yourself, it means to use different eye shadows – blue, gold, brown, pink, vanilla, but soft colors.

Emphasize your natural eyes beauty!

There are a lot of techniques and tools to do this! But, first of all, pay attention to the shape of your eyes and their color, remember that you have to accentuate your beauty and minimize drawbacks. Be sure, you have an access to a magnified mirror, it will shadow you the most noticeable drawbacks.

Take care of your eyes

That is the most important point – never take your heath for granted and always try your best to help your eyes stay sharp, beautiful and happy throughout the life.  If you have a poor eyesight I highly recommend you to buy contact lenses instead of wearing glasses.

Highlight your eyes!

Methods of eye shading and highlighting is used to emphasize shape of the eyes. It is necessary to apply both darker and lighter eye shadows, in such a case your eyes will look wider and you will look irresistible and just sexy!

She doesn’t like excess in make-up, she likes to look natural. Her main tip – is glitter! She uses it twice or thrice a week, wheile shopping or going for a party. It is her helping hand in any situation. Actually, it depends on the occasion, if you are going out apply two or three sparkling layers and if you are going into office or something like that, noblesse oblige – use as small sparkles as you can. Now, Heidi’s favorite is a pink lipstick with gold sparkles. It will be available to us only in November. This lipstick is almost invisible; it perfectly matches her pink lips, except…. It gives them some additional sparkling.

Heidi is a super model and a star of the television project, but according to her own words – she is fond of applying and creating make-up herself. In these minutes she feels herself like a person, which understood the essence of life.

She is so kind and gentle, beautiful and always willing to help! She is ready to share her main tips with us. So, while applying eye shadows and doing your make-up use the following technique: take eye shadows of one color but different tones, apply lighter eye shadow over the first part of a lid and to the rest of it apply darker eye shadow. It makes your eyes look bigger, wider and brighter.

Always remember about plum-colored eye makeup! And if you think that it will not suit you, stop pulling my leg! This kind of make-up emphasizes any face, any eyes. They become brighter and wider. It will never spoil your appearance!

Wear colors that can be used both for day and simply transferred into night colors. For example, instead of applying the darkest lipstick you have, use a  lighter version in the same tone. Make one layer in the morning and in the evening just add two more layers. You will look like a Queen!

Put your lipstick in layers instead of making one stroke! It will make your lips either fuller or sexier!

Discover lip glosses with strawberry or fruit flavor. During our lives we eat more than 1 kilo of a lipstick or a lip gloss, so, it better to eat a lip gloss with an apple taste, yeah?
