 Q. On a
Friday afternoon I often leave work and go straight out to
dinner and then hit the town. How can I make my Make-Up
look glam if I am heading out straight from work?
Turn daytime
makeup into evening allure, in less than 10 minutes, with this
tips from the experts. The next time you're dashing off to a party
with no time to redo your make up from scratch, follow these
add-on-and-go-tips:
Touch up foundation to
color-correct your skin tone. Don't worry about applying more than
usual. You can go a little heavier for evening light. For touch-ups,
use Mineral Powder
For a more dramatic look, go a little darker with
eyeliner, switching to brown if you usually use a neutral
shade by day, or to black if you usually wear brown.
For evening shimmer, use a lighter eye shadow with
built-in illumination or frost, sweeping lightly over your daytime matte
shadow, and under the brow.
Add a touch more blush - a little
darker, for more defined contouring.
Set make up with mineral powder, sweeping
it over entire face. It will help lipstick and mascara adhere better.
Re-apply your lipstick - you can
choose to apply a darker colour and then add a
little gloss over the top.
Apply fresh mascara.

The Right
Colours for your Eyes
|
Choosing the
right eye shadow for your eye colour can have a big impact on your
overall look. Choosing the right colour and style of cosmetics can
enhance your eye colour and create bright eyes.
Many women do not realise that your skin tone is equally important
when choosing the right eye shadow. It is tempting to choose an eye
shadow that is the same colour as your eyes, but this is usually a
bad move. It tends to compete with your eye colour and ends up
drawing more attention to the eye shadow, especially if it is a
bright shade! This info offers advice on choosing the right eye
shadow for your eyes.
Skin Tone Considerations
Your skin tone has a big effect on your ability to carry off certain
shades of eye shadow. For
example, if you have a delicate "English rose" complexion,
dark colours can overpower your pale skin tone. For
darker skin tones, avoid pale shades, as you can carry off much
deeper and richer shades.
Brown Eyes
To subtly emphasise brown eyes, you are far less restricted in terms
of colour choices, as brown
eyes suit almost any colour of eye shadow. This gives
you the opportunity to experiment with a wide range of different
shades, from soft neutrals to bright neons. Metallic shades are
a particularly good look, as they are eye-catching without
being too dramatic.
Blue Eyes
Blue eyes suit warm
shades of brown, taupe, gold, plum and peach. Wearing
blue eye shadow usually has the effect of making your natural eye
colour look nondescript. Metallics can work well, but stick to shimmery
gold and bronze shades.
Green Eyes
Golden
brown, taupe, rich purple, peach and violet shades will
set off green eyes, and emphasise them as a striking feature. As a
general rule of thumb, purple shades will work well on green eyes, so
look for plum and violet shades. Be careful not to be too
heavy-handed with these colours, as you can easily make your eyes
look bloodshot. As with any colour, less is more!
Grey Eyes
Grey eyes suit charcoal,
brown and purple shades. Soft purple colours such as
violet often work well with grey eyes.
Don't
be tempted to choose a certain eye shadow colour just because it is
one of your favourite colours, or
because it is currently fashionable. In a lot of
cases, it will not suit your skin tone and eye colour, and can
actually work against them. Choosing the right eye shadow can be the
difference between a bright, healthy-looking skin tone, and a dull,
lifeless complexion.
Many people do not take their skin tone into consideration when
choosing eye shadow, but it can be just as important as eye colour.
You will generally find that colours that provide a subtle contrast
to your eye colour will work well, as long as they are not too light
or dark for your skin tone.
If you want to play it safe, you can't go far wrong
with soft neutrals, as they tend to suit almost any eye colour and
skin tone.
