Party makeup

When its time to party, everyone wants to be part of the fun. And where fun is, glamour is never far away! So, if you want to be the flavor of the party, there’s no better place to start than at your dressing table- I mean it! Try a departure from the daily demeanor of controlled cosmetics and take on the diva dazzler look with great party makeup tips- from us, of course!

Set the Mood: Party Makeup Basic Guidelines

Since party makeup is all about being special and part of a great time out (we hope), it needs a completely different approach and a dash of adventure to be successfully implemented. Here’s how to begin:

Start Right- choose your dress, footwear and accessories the day before and co-ordinate your look for the big occasion in advance. This will help you get an idea about how you will look when all the elements are put together and give you a chance to mix and match (or discard) colors and coordinates with the maximum style.
Do your Hair Differently. If you’ve always pulled it back in a bun or braid, rinse it well and condition your crowning glory so you can leave it loose. Try securing fresh flowers, a bejeweled hair slide or parting it differently for a fresh, new look.
The many new and affordable temporary highlights available in the market today make highlighting your hair an easy and hassle-free task and it’s a great party conversation starter too! Just kidding; though, a touch of metallica on your mane can be a surefire way to add to your allure. If you are not keen on metallic colors, you can opt for a single streak of red, amber, brown or midnight blue close to your parting.
Ensure your nails are well manicured and neat. If dazzling nail color is not your style, you can opt for a French manicure or clear nail varnish to show off fashionably shaped talons. Temporary nail art stickers are inexpensive and trendy ways to make a style statement and are a great party makeup option.
Fake eyelashes are great when party makeup is being talked about. A double dose of mascara can make up for the lack of these when primped by an eyelash curler and are a mystically marvelous way to make heads turn!.
If eyes are downplayed, then lips can be highlighted for balancing out the tone of party makeup. Applying foundation on the lips, waiting a minute or two and then applying your favorite lip color is the way to go. You can use blotting paper/tissue to quickly dab away excess color, reapply the lipstick and finish off with a touch of glitter, shine or lip gloss for a full-blown, sensational pucker-up session with such great party make-up.
Go Gold! A touch of the sun cannot go amiss and gold dust is easily available at cosmetic counters for achieving that sun-goddess look, which is great party makeup wear.

Makeup Tips

Makeup has become an essential part of every women’s everyday life and has grown beyond the dictates of fashion, cosmetic-coverage and demands of the occasion, calling for its own bag of tips and tricks. Some of these quick and easy makeup tips and tricks are covered here and are nothing short of waving the proverbial magic want to ensure you look your best - anytime, anywhere!

Makeup Tips and Tricks:

We all wear makeup everyday, but when you are invited to a party the make up calls for something special. Party makeup needs the right mix of cosmetic products that will grant your everyday elegance a glamorous goddess look to help you stand out in a crowd, be it a hint of bronzer, a low, lush sweep of false eyelashes or glittering strands of hair-color as temporary highlights!

When a special occasion approaches, try and put together your ensemble the night before and do a dress and make up ‘rehearsal’ of sorts of the party decide what you are going to wear and try it on.
Choose a lipstick color that is complementary to your complexion and play up either your eyes or your lips to draw attention to the feature you wish to highlight. For example, if you intend wearing false eyelashes and deep mascara, then down-playing your lips with a light lipstick shade and a touch of gloss will ensure your eye-magic is not outdone by any other feature.
The right perfume can be ‘layered’ with the same scent in different products like using bath oil, body lotion and hand cream of the same house of fashion as your perfume. This allows the fragrance to stay subtle but intended for long-wear.
To make your makeup last longer, cleanse your face thoroughly with cool water to which a pinch of soda bicarbonate has been added, then apply ice cubes on the face. This helps prolong makeup for any special occasion.
Using a concealer takes a bit of practice and feather-light strokes of a steady hand, but if blended well, it can aptly hide skin flaws like dark circles around the eyes or scars. A beige concealer is ideal for dark skin and one with natural tones is suitable for fairer skins. Always apply concealer with a dry sponge or your fingers, smoothly and even it out to set in well. Follow this up by dotting foundation evenly over it.
Mixing the foundation with a touch of moisturizer during winter months helps seal it in better and stay longer on the face, giving it a warm, natural look.
Translucent powder dusted over the face helps foundation stay on longer and any excess powder can be easily brushed off.
A great eye-catching makeup tip is to use powder eye shadow as eyeliner with a wet eye shadow brush as this keeps the liner from straying.

Blush Makeup

The application of correct makeup according to skin tone, clothes, contouring of face and occasion is an art that needs to be perfected with practice and patience. While dabbing on foundation and blending it in is easier in comparison, the art of stroking blush-on to highlight or downplay cheekbones requires the right color and lighting along with the appropriate make-up brush.

When and How to Apply Blush Makeup?

The application of blush-on comes after the complete makeup/foundation and concealer has been put into place. Blush is also referred to as rouge. The proper use of blush can help liven up an ordinary face and bring out the radiance of an unusual one. How one applies blush makeup determines whether they can bring out the structural beauty of a face, add shape or refine a too-plump one and narrow it down or simply give your complexion the warm glow of youth.

Type of Blush Makeup

Blush is available in powder, cream and stick form and each requires an initial orientation for correct usage. The powder variety is brushed on the face after powdering the face to even the skin tone while the cream and the stick blush makeup is added as a touch-up after the foundation has been applied. The latter types are then ‘set in’ with a light dusting of face powder.

Tips for Choosing Blush Makeup Colors

When buying blush makeup it is necessary to ensure that there is proper lighting in the shop and try out a few likely shades with help from the cosmetic counter salesperson. Pick a blush color that is closest to a natural heightened tone of the skin after exercising. This will help to find the color that will resemble your natural complexion and not make the blush look ‘contrived’ or your face ‘too made up.’

Most blush makeup is one of two types: gold harmony, which comprises tones of coral, orange and reddish brown tones and the blue-tinged harmony, which has rose-beige colors.
Those with a fair complexion would do well to choose a blush with a grayish yellow (beige), sun-kissed golden-brown (tawny) and pink tones since these will highlight the lightness of the skin.
Women with olive/yellow-toned skin will benefit from a blush tinged with warm brown, almond and copper shades, as these will blend in naturally and smoothly.
Darker-skinned women can opt for plum, auburn and deep bronze shades in blush to achieve a glamorous yet warm look.
Women who have a rich tan on their skin can show it to perfection with a complementary blush in shades tinged with orange, apricot, peach and coral hues.

Tips for applying blush makeup

Day wear requires a light application of blush applied directly on the apples of your cheeks in short, rounded strokes while a glamorous evening wear look would call for a bit of drama and an upward sweep of the magic blush wand along the bottom of your apples, towards your temples.

Bindi

Think India! Think Indian woman! With the traditional red dot on her forehead, this is one exotic beauty whose charms are legendary and the bindi is a very vital part of the makeup routine of the majority of Indian women. It is a fascinating, visually appealing and evolving part of fashion and beauty in the Indian context today.

Bindi Makeup

Madonna is one celebrity that brought the bindi recognition and helped make a style statement of it. While others of her like Boy George, sported the ‘tilak’ –an elongated version in a popular music video, the Hindu male counterparts in India are also not averse to it on religious or festive occasions.

Colors and Shapes

The little red dot has evolved into multi-colored, ornamental decorations today with the advent of skin-friendly adhesive as opposed to the vermilion powder that was used some fifty odd years ago. Not challenged dimensionally, bindi makeup has immense scope as round, oblong, square, heart-shaped, abstract and diamond shaped bindi in a rainbow of colors are doing the rounds of the market successfully. There are bindis with pearls, American diamonds, semi-precious stones and glitter adorned on them that can be made to order at special shops in many Indian cities. Most foreign visitors to the country pick up a few dozen packets of assorted bindis since they are an in expensive and beautiful token of Indian traditionalism packaged in a miniature presentation.

The bindi has long since digressed from a symbol of marital status to being worn by unmarried women and even young teenage girls today and is now an essential part of facial make-up, worn mainly as a fashion accessory.

Accessorizing with Bindi makeup: choosing a bindi

Most Indian women would pick a bindi to match the color of their dress and since the normal range of bindis are so affordable, it is within the beauty budget of most women.

Make-up experts advise, however that a bindi should be chosen in accordance with not only the color of the dress in mind, but also the shape of the woman’s face.
A crescent moon, round or large bindi is best suited to a thin face or one with sharply defined features. Those with a round face cut or heavy jaw line can give these shapes a miss since it will only draw more attention to the lack of angularity and play up the roundness of the face more.
Summer time makeup is usually light-toned and a bindi must complement this while winter or evening make-up allows a woman to experiment with more elaborate bindis to dress up the face.
Those with a small forehead can make it appear larger with an oblong bindi while a broad forehead looks good with a round bindi.
A fair complexion is the ideal base for darker color bindis like deep maroon, red and dark pink while those with a darker skin tone can opt for lighter pink, orange or sandal wood base-color bindis.

Highlighter

How can one look stunning despite all the makeup you have and the wonderful looks and clothes to complement it? That’s easy: maybe in your makeup ritual, you forgot to use highlighter—that’s what can make you look stunning.

Highlighters let you reflect light, and if applied well they can highlight that feature of your face by lending some shine to it that is most flattering to you. But for this, you need to apply it well.

How it is Done?

First, see that your highlighter pencil has a sharp point so that you can get a fine line. To draw attention to your eyes, draw a line onto the skin in short sketchy lines so that you get a soft look. For an intense look, use a heavy hand and give it a layered look. Do you want a smudged effect? Using a smudger sponge brush or your finger, blend lightly and use either as liner or shadow.

Highlighter Tips:

Wide-set eyes: Use highlight looks wonderful when placed in the middle of the creases of the eyes and then given a smudged look.
Close-set eyes: Draw a line along the upper eyelash line. Skip one third of the eye, then blending outward, create an illusion of wide-set eyes.
Puffy lids: Don’t highlight the lids as this could give them a raised effect. Instead, highlight the area just below the arch of the eyebrow to give it a balanced look.
Small lids: Use highlighter across the entire upper lid. This will attract the light from all directions and give a fuller look to the lids.
Flat lids: To give a sense of dimension to your eyes, blend in highlighter in an upward stroke, going toward the brow bone. If your eyes have no visible crease, they could look large and awesome if you highlight the inner third of the eye. So, take care.
Dark spots: To cover dark spots, draw over those areas and pat with your finger to blend in the highlighter. With the warmth of your finger, the color of your highlighter will diffuse effectively. Once this is done, apply a light layer of foundation over it.
Glitter: If your highlighter also contains glitter, this is really outrageous because the glitter pieces can be seen. They may be perfect for going to the disco or late night parties. You can add glitter highlight not just to your lids but to the centre of the lips, and a dash on the cheekbones.
Shimmer: This is quite like glitter, but in a muted form. Here, the shimmer pieces, though visible, are much smaller which gives you a definite sparkle.

Quite obviously, highlighter does a good job of making heads turn in your direction. If that’s the result, well why not go ahead and slap on some highlighter—but deftly and subtly.

Eyebrow Colour

Your brows shape your face and add a lot of drama to your eyes. They can either make you look old and harsh or soft and young, since they frae your shape and type of eyes. They can also make your eyes look smaller or larger. Today, instead of thickening them with eyebrow pencil, you can fill them with color, subtly and attractively.

First, select brow filler that’s a couple of shades lighter than your hair. If your brows are freshly plucked, so much the better. Here, the trick is to apply a natural eyebrow shape with the help of a hard stiff, short brush, and colorations instead of pencils. Though pencils are good to use, they aren’t good for novices since they require a lot of practice.

However, use colorations to make a few light, feathery strokes on the thicker part of your brows with a sharp eyebrow pencil, and then add color to the thinner parts of your brow.

Next, if you have thin brows, use a brow powder. With the help of a flat angled brow brush, color over the length of the brow, taking in its natural shape. First, apply color to the outer edges of the brow and move in closer to the nose.

Once you have finished pencilling your brows, powder them very lightly against the direction of the hair for a softer, more natural look. Then, brush upwards in the direction of the forehead with two fingers to take off any excess powder and keep the hair in its natural position. For this, you can use an eyebrow brush too.

Use a clean mascara brush to neaten up your brows. If loose hairs are out of place, set them in place and blend color for a more natural look. Use wax-based brow powder, brow gel or alcohol-free hair gel to keep your brows in place all day.

If you want to make your eyes appear larger and more open, don’t let your brows appear too low near your eyes. Instead, maintain enough space between your eyes and eyebrows by plucking clean from below the brows. Pluck just enough so that they don’t end up looking too thin. And if you have bushy eyebrows, trim the tops to keep them short and of medium thickness.

Do you have small eyes? If yes, do not wear your eyebrows thick or they will make your eyes look smaller. On the other hand, if your brows are thinner, they will make your eyes look larger. And it your eyes are close set, you can create an illusion of space between your brows to give your eyes an open look.

Tip: For a natural look and color, choose a color that is closest to that of your eyebrow and fill in the gaps. This will give you a well groomed brow. If you can’t decide on the right shade, go in for a shade lighter than your brow.

So, with the right method to do your eyebrows before you, you can give yourself a natural look to such an extent that no one will know you’ve touched up your brows.

Bridal Makeup

Looking great and feeling good is what all brides want on their Wedding Day-and with the most perfectly applied bridal makeup, any bride can be princess for a day! Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that bridal makeup is distinctly different from everyday makeup and makes the bride stand out in the crowd in the most flattering way possible. Good bridal makeup actually begins from a pre-bridal phase with facial care and necessary skin and hair treatments followed to set the stage for D-Day.

Essentials of Bridal Makeup

Bridal makeup is important to the bride and her family since it must be such that highlights her beauty and charm and also be ‘photo-friendly’ so that the family can have memorable pictures of the occasion. The correct use of colors and expert highlighting, contouring and shading can help a bride look stunning and dazzle the guests and groom alike. Cosmetics chosen for bridal makeup therefore, needs be long lasting, easy to blend in and allow for use along with a touch of shimmer and gloss to make the bride truly outshine the others!

Choosing Bridal Makeup Products

For those brides that are not accustomed to makeup on a regular basis, a departure from the norm may be a bit of a hassle; however, a light application of makeup can help them look naturally beautiful and warmly appealing.
Luminescent cosmetics are quite the rage currently and a great bridal makeup enhancer, used as they are to add to the natural glow of the lady in question.
Application of concealer and foundation should be slow and practiced as these are the base for good photographic quality on the wedding day. Flawed skin and hastily applied foundation can show up in close-up shots and ruin what could have been a great photographic memory.
Summer brides would do well to spray the face with sealer after application of foundation, blush, eye and lip makeup as this will help it last longer.
A great lip-tip to make lip color last longer is to first apply foundation over the lips, use lip liner to define them and then apply the lip color. Wait a minute or two to dab extra color off with one touch of a clean tissue and reapply it, touching up with a sealer and possibly a dot of shimmer at the center of the lips!
· The color of the eyebrows must match with the bride’s hair color. Gray ash blondes can use ash brown shade to cover their eyebrows while redheads can use reddish brown shades or orange or gold tones depending upon the undertone of their hair.
Loose or pressed powder is a great touch-up and stabilizing factor for bridal makeup if it is in the same skin tone as the foundation/concealer
If mascara is to be applied, ensure it is the waterproof kind.
For a sun-kissed look, apply a touch of blush to the forehead, sides and top of the nose, finishing off with a curving stroke.

Face Powder

FACE POWDER

It is true that cosmetics can do a lot for your features, besides concealing your facial flaws. By applying face powder, you can transform your looks. Here are a few tips:

Since there is a difference between daylight and night time illumination, you will need to adjust the amount of makeup you wear. During the day, wear light makeup and at night, be bold and dramatic.

How it is Done:

You have the best makeup your money can buy. You spend so much time each morning doing up your face, but you never get the right results. What should you do to look good?

To apply face powder effectively, you need to use powder puffs and brushes. Here’s how:

Puffs: As you perhaps know, powder puffs are available in a selection of sizes, shapes and colours, and most importantly textures too. The best of them all is perhaps the medium-textured puff made of chenille.
Directions to use: Use this if you have an oily complexion that shines often or when you use a powder foundation. Remember not to apply too much powder all at once. It is more advisable to blot your face of oil mid-day rather than have a caked, overdone look.
Brushes: Use a brush to apply a light amount of powder—this is better than a puff. Being large and fluffy, powder brushes give you the option of being used either loose or pressed.
Directions to use: Dip the brush in the powder and tap it to get rid of any loose powder. Then, using even strokes, brush the powder over your face in a downward direction. Follow the direction of your facial hair so that you get the most even application.

It is essential to apply powder on your face as it sets your makeup, and creates a finish that’s free of a shine. When at home, use loose powder and carry a pressed powder compact for a mid-afternoon touch-up.

Benefits of applying face powder

For a fresh look with face powder, apply moisturizer and over that a concealer to conceal any discoloration. Now, apply a neutral eye shadow and a light coat of mascara. Blend in a neutral blush on your cheeks, highlighting them, but not overly so.

This done, apply a light coat of loose powder. And top it up with lip gloss. With loose powder, you can be sure that none of it will enter your pores as easily as the heavier pressed powder. Besides, it covers more evenly and has a professional look about it. It can be used day and night and all you have to do is to apply loose powder as often as you like during the day without it looking caked on.

Now that you’ve done this, isn’t there a complete transformation in your looks? If this gives you confidence, try out some more styles and mix and match for that perfect look.

Emo Eyeliner

Put on Emo Eyeliner

Step 1

Buy eyeliner that glides on smoothly. Liquid eyeliner works best for beginners while eye paint, along with a good set of brushes, can be used as both shadow and liner. Eye paint, which usually comes in tubes, goes on creamy and dries to a powdery finish.
Step 2

Experiment with colors. While most emo people choose black eyeliner, you can experiment with dark blues, browns and reds. Most men tend to stick to basic black.
Step 3

Line the bottom lash, starting from the inside corner. With pencils, you should hold the eyeliner at a 90-degree angle for a thin line. For a thicker line, simply apply it at a flatter angle.
Step 4

Apply eyeliner on the eyelid, sticking close to the lash and ending in a rounded corner. Men should skip the top lid or apply a softer line to avoid creating a ring around the eyes.
Step 5

Let the eyeliner dry before applying eye shadow, or you will end up with smudgy eyes.

Complete Your Emo Look
Step 1

Go crazy with the eyes, which are the focus of most emo makeup styles. Girls should apply bright shadow, in shades of pink, turquoise and red, all the way up to the eyebrows. Try contrasting colors to create a softer look.
Step 2

Watch for clumps as you apply black mascara. Both emo men and women wear mascara.
Step 3

Keep the lips simple. Light lip gloss, lip balm or pale lipstick is always a safe choice, but you can go a bit darker if it matches your skin tones.
Step 4

Apply foundation that matches your skin tone or is only slightly lighter. A popular misconception is that emo kids have pale, pasty faces. The white face just tends to make you look more Goth than emo.
Step 5

Visit a makeup store to help choose colors that work with your skin tone. The salespeople can usually show you how to apply the makeup properly as well.

Tips & Warnings

Boys should keep the makeup subtle, sticking with more natural eye shadows and pale lipsticks. Wearing makeup doesn't make you emo, so skip it if you don't feel comfortable.
Old-emo kids don't wear makeup. Face makeup is a product of the newer generation of emo, which is closer to Goth than hardcore. Don't be discouraged when someone in her 30s quips, "Emos don't wear makeup."

Polish Nails

Home Manicure Tips: How to Polish, File, and Buff Nails Like a Professional Nail Salon
Are you tired of spending thousands of dollars each year at the nail salon? If you’re like most of the country budgets are tighter than ever. To compensate for high gas prices and the rising cost of food, tanning and massages salons are seeing a decline in customers due to the economy. In addition, many women are forgoing their weekly trip to their professional nail technician and are doing their nails at home. However, knowing how to properly buff and prepare their nails can be a challenge. If not done correctly, you can actually damage your nails. So, take a look at these easy steps and learn the correct way to buff nails.

Use Salon Products and Tools

There are thousands of nail products on the market today and knowing which tools you need to properly buff your nails can be tricky. However, if you visit your local beauty store you will need to pick up only a few products. First, a handheld nail buffer is essential on your list of supplies. These look similar to emery boards; however they have several different colored panels and appear more like a foam block. You may also want to grab a few bottles of colored polish or OPI polish in French white if you’d like to give yourself a French manicure.

Before Filing or Buffing…..

Before you start filing away at your nails, there are a few things you should do first. Be sure to remove all old polish with a gentle finger nail polish remover. Look for those without acetone for the gentlest results. After getting rid of the polish, soak your hands in warm soapy water for ten minutes. This will soften your nails and skin to allow you to not only buff your nails better but also remove the unwanted cuticle areas. You can make your own homemade hand spa by filling a large bowl with warm water and adding a small amount of scented bath oil to the water. After soaking your hands, be sure to dry them completely.

Buff Nails the Right Way

To begin, grab your nail buffer and file your nails as you normally would (rounded, square or oval). With the roughest side of the buffer, start to buff your nails. Use a gently side-to-side motion when doing this. The main purpose of this phase is to smooth out any major ridges your nails may have. Next, use the next roughest side of your buffer and repeat the process. This will further work any ridges out of your nail area. To finish the buffing phase, utilize the smoothest part of the buffer to polish your nails until they shine.

Be sure not to be too rough when you are using the first few sides of the buffer. These are meant to only be used gently on the nails. Being too aggressive can lead to a split or chip in the nail, which is almost always difficult to repair properly.

Tips for Professional Salon Results

After you’ve successfully buffed your nails, consider taking your homemade manicure to the next level. Grab your favorite lotion (with or without sun block) and a pair of clean cotton gloves (socks will work if you don’t have gloves). Lather your hands in the lotion, put them into the gloves and wait for ten minutes. When you pull your hands out, wash and dry them well. You will find they are incredibly natural and soft! Be sure to wipe your nails well, apply a top coat of polish and begin painting them in your desired color. Allow the first coat of polish to set and apply another thin coat. Finish with a top coat and allow it to dry.As you can see, getting beautiful nails doesn’t necessarily require an expensive trip to the salon. So, instead of spending money on artificial acrylic nails this season, consider taking the natural route and doing your nails and toe nails yourself at home!

Party Make Up

Everyone wants to look good, especially when it is the time to party. The idea behind hosting or going to parties is to meet the people you know as well as to make new friends. At the same time, you try to impress others by your dressing sense and looks, along with the way you carry yourself. The self-confidence comes when you know that you are looking perfect, with the right make up and a dazzling ensemble. However, while getting ready for a night out, you need to know that party makeup also has some limits and rules. For instance, you should apply either heavy eye makeup or heavy lip makeup, but not both at the same time. If you want to be the essence of a party, there is no better place to start than at your dressing table. In this regard, the party makeup tips given here will come handy.

Party Make Up Tips

Prepare Yourself
Choose your dress, footwear and accessories for the big occasion in advance. Once all the elements come together, it will help you get an idea about your look and you will be able to select your make up accordingly.

For Fresh Looking Skin

Wash your face with warm water, using your favorite face wash.
Rub ice on your face for 5-10 mins, in breaks.
Dab some cleansing milk on a cotton ball and wipe your face with it.
Apply some lotion/ moisturizer, while making sure you do not end up leaving your face oily.

Preparing The Base

Depending upon your complexion, apply foundation all over your face, with the help of a sponge/foundation brush. You can apply a darker shade of the foundation on the broader parts of your face.
Now, apply shimmer powder on your face, over the foundation, with the help of a brush.
Blush your cheeks, adding color gradually. Use some blusher on the sides of the forehead and chin as well.

On The Eyes

First of all, you need to apply the eye-shadow on your eyelids
Define your eyes with eyeliner, making use of short strokes.
Next, apply 2-3 coats of mascara, on the tips of your lashes.
Finally, define your eyebrows with the help of an eyebrow pencil.

For Your Lips

Shape up your lips nicely and precisely, with the help of a lip liner pencil.
Now is the time to apply the lip color, with the help of a brush.
Blot the lipstick with tissue and then apply once again.
Finally, add a coat of gloss on your lips.

For Your Nail

Clean your nails thoroughly and file them to give a proper shape.
Apply a coat of the colorless base coat and let it dry.
Add two coats of a nail polish, giving a gap of 10 minutes in-between.
Add another coat of the colorless base coat and let it dry.

Lipstick

Lipstick adds the final touch to any makeup application. Lining the lips creates subtle definition and perfects the shape of the lips.

Step 1

Consider your lipstick color and finish. You'll do well with colors that match the natural shade of your lips, opting for darker tones that complement your overall coloring. Matte lipsticks offer a muted finish complementary to workday makeup, while satin and gloss finishes offer appealing evening looks.
Step 2

Apply all other makeup before putting on lipstick and lip liner.
Step 3

Begin by dabbing on a very small amount of lip balm or petroleum jelly to give your lips a little moisture.
Step 4

Draw a thin line along the edge of your lips with a lip liner whose color is one shade darker than your lipstick. Start at the center of the upper lip and work outward. Hug the very outer edges to open up thin lips, and line well within the edges to downplay excessively full lips.
Step 5

Apply lipstick from the tube or by using a firm, small lipstick brush. Coat the lips evenly. Pay special attention to staying within the lips' edges.
Step 6

Blot to remove any excess color and to even out the texture.
Step 7

Remember to touch lips up after a meal, as lipstick easily transfers onto coffee cups, water bottles and soda cans

Tips & Warnings

For longer-lasting lip color, shade both lips with lip liner after defining them. As lipstick fades throughout the day, the liner offers a hint of color before you have a chance to reapply.
Balance heavy eye makeup with a soft lip color. Wear a rich and boldly colored lipstick to complement soft eye makeup.
Give the illusion of a thicker top lip by lining its outermost edges and foregoing liner on the bottom lip.
Chill lip liner for easier sharpening.
Forego lipstick if you have a cold sore. Opt instead for a camphor-based lip balm to aid in healing

High Fashion Wedding Makeup and Hairstyles

Makeup and hairstyle ideas for a formal wedding

A high fashion makeup look is bold and perfect for a festive black tie affair attended by a handful of your most fashionable friends. Mix and match these tips as you wish for a highly personalized look or try on high fashion wedding makeup in our virtual makeup studio.

Dark Eyes, Light Lips

Smoky eye makeup and light baby lips look unabashedly de rigeur paired with a couture wedding dress. Achieve the makeup look shown here with three eye shadows: snow white, ultra noir and a plummy charcoal.

Begin with a firm eyeshadow brush, using it to darken your lid from lashline to crease with the black color, then blend the shadow outward at the outer corner of each eye with a fluffy eyeshadow brush. To soften and smoke up the look, follow with charcoal plum shadow, applied on top and blended into the crease.

Your makeup inspiration should come from the sexy feline shape of Italian actress Monica Vitti's eyes. Highlight your brow bone with snow white shadow. Finish with copious amounts of black eyeliner and faux lashes. To score maximum drama, opt for light blue or amethyst contact lenses.

Diamond-inspired wedding makeup shines as the look du jour. Try an icy cool lip gloss that goes on pearly white and tastes like peppermint to make your wedding kisses exceptionally sweet.

Light Eyes, Dark Lips

You can also create drama with a dark crimson pout and light eye makeup. Color washing is key to this high fashion makeup look. Start by applying the same snow white shadow from lashline to crease, blending it out toward the brow bone (instead of white eye shadow you can use lemon yellow as shown below). Line your lashes by pulling the lid taught and pushing a flathead eyeliner brush, dipped in black eye shadow, into the roots of the lashes. Keep your brows light (you can opt to comb them with a tinted gel a few shades lighter than your natural brows). Layer your lashes with black mascara. On lips, go for bold in a crimson lip color with a touch of diamond gloss for high shine.

High Fashion Wedding Hairstyle Trends

Highlight a lithe, swan-like neck in a bridal updo that's slicked back with a deep side or center part, Parisian style. To give your hairstyle couture appeal, adorn it with a beaded brooch, pinned stealthily underneath the hair, or a gem-cluster pendant. Combined with comehither makeup, this look adds up to something that's seductive in the most offhand manner.

Make Up Techniques
