Autumn/Winter 2013 make-up trends!

The Autumnal chill is in the air so as we head towards winter here are a few make-up ideas to keep you fashion forward.

Autumn/winter make-up and hair looks are polished, ladylike, sophisticated...all a little grown-up!

Choose berry/wine stains for lips, the finish is stained and matte.  Apply using a finger and blot well.

The defined red lip will always be around.


Skin is velvety, flawless and matte set well with powder.

 Choose any garnet shade of red nail colour.


If a berry/red lip is just too much opt for the nude lip trend instead.




Hooray! heavily made-up, dark statement eyes are back for autumn/winter. Go smoky or bold with your colour.



Go easy on the blusher, best used barely there in a pretty pink shade or skip altogether.



                                                         
Long lashes rock!

Brows go bold define using a pencil, coloured brow gel or powder for a softer look.


Create a bold, black feline flick to define your eyes using liquid liner.

 I hope this helps you create and experiment with some new looks and techniques over the coming months, one quick change in your make-up routine can make all the difference.

"Layer" make-up products. This layering technique will help make-up last much longer.
For example after applying eyeliner set the liner with a similar shade of powder over the top.

Try using a flat eyeliner brush to press gel or creme eyeliner at the root of the top eye lashes. Begin at the outer corner of the eye pressing firmly from underneath the lashes at the root (not in the rim) working across to the inner corner. Press the index finger of the opposite hand onto the eye lid to gently push back the lid for ease of application. This method achieves beautifully natural defined eyes.

Autumn/winter make up trends 2012

Wow!It is that time of year again and I find myself looking forward to the autumn/winter make up trends. If you want to know what to wear and how to wear it then read on...

The most important word to remember is 'colour', it really is in abundance from statement red lips to bright peacock coloured eyes. For serious eye emphasis opt for bright shades of blues, emerald greens, pinks and purples. Also look out for shades of coloured mascara's as these are also back on the fashionista scene. For bold statement lips opt for berry tones, burgundy reds, even purples. Make cheeks more pronounced this autumn/winter with spots of colour; try a rose, pale pink or terracotta.

So now you know what colours to look for just how do you wear them?The trick is to make the trends adapt to you and your style. Make bright eye colours more wearable by smudging them just around the lash line rather than over the entire eyelid. This will achieve a subtle and ultimately more desirable sultry effect. If coloured eyeshadow is still a daunting prospect opt for a flick of eyeliner and coloured mascara with no eyeshadow at all.

If a statement lip seems more appealing than making up your eyes but that burgandy red you have just purchased still looks too daring create a softer stain of the lip colour by patting on with your finger tip or mix a little of the colour with a gloss to create your very own sheer glossy version.

If all of this still seems like too much effort you could change just one simple step in your make up routine like blusher. Try applying it in a new way by adding a spot of colour on the cheeks then blending well, maybe try choosing a new shade aswell. It really is amazing how by making just one small change can update your look and make you feel great.
