Get Ready For Spring!

springmakeup.jpgWith spring right around the corner, it is best to start breaking out all of your spring makeup to get prepared. Although many like to wear the same colors year round,
it is always good to try something new to bring out your best features.

Since I don’t have a tan during the spring season, I like to use lighter shades of eye shadow and blush, since darker colors only make my skin look even paler than it is.

Create Exquisite Eyes

Rachel Eye MakeupEven the lightest application of eye makeup can have the most dramatic effect if it is done well. Eye shadow defines the eyes. It can add depth or make the eye appear to be larger. There are different ways to apply eye shadow; all are based on the shape of the eye.

Ladies with large eyes would apply dark color to the eyelids, don’t forget the crease and highlight with a muted color under the eyebrow. This will give the eyes a smaller appearance. Women with small eyes would use less eye shadow for the same reason. Always highlight under the eyebrow.

The Eyebrows Have It

Eyebrows Eye MakeupPremiere makeup artists work from the belief that eye brow shaping is the most important feature in makeup artistry. It brings out the shapes of the eyes and brightens the look of the face. If done well, eye brow shaping will make the eyes appear bigger, creating a more luxurious look. Eyebrows that are a mess or have no shape to them will destroy any look you are going for. Long, clean eyes make for the most exquisite look.
 
Define the shape or your eyebrow. If you have an idea of what look you are going for, you can get them waxed, or you can pluck hairs that don’t fit the shape of your ideal. Go easy for that natural look. Use a makeup pencil to define and emphasize the desired shape. Apply makeup to your brows if necessary for that complete look.
 
Shape your eyebrows before applying foundation. Then define them. Stylishly shaped eyebrows, a little cheek color, and a well thought out lipstick make for a hot combination. Go out and shine, you look great.

Be the Beauty

Eye MakeupEye love you, eye want you, eye need you… the first feature we focus on the face say it all. The eyes are our communicators; we express our emotions through them. Eye shadow done well should enhance the shape and color of your eyes. Be careful not to use too much, it will be ugly and brings unwanted attention. This is not your goal

Eye makeup can create an image of depth, adding dimension to your face. Eye shadows are available in textures, compacts, creams, and pencils.

Get Zeta-Jones Eyes
