The Lash Word
Yes, the L word is out. One of the absolutely must haves of the season to get glam is to flaunt the look with false lashes. Make a statement with a pair of good quality falsies that can be applied like a professional with simplicity. Use lash glue like Duo along the inner side of the lash band, holding the lashes with a pair of tweezers – gently press them close to the natural lashes. Press down from the outside corner to the inside edge.
To make the process easier try using a magnifying mirror, this can be a handy tool. As an added note, curl and apply a thin coat of mascara to your natural lashes before applying false lashes gives them more volume. Wait until the glue dries completely before reapplying the mascara. Blink, blink and voila! False eyelashes come in a variety of styles – so choose the style that best suits your eye shape.
Pewter, Purple Peepers
Create irresistible eyes by defining the eyes with this talk of the town color palette. Our second must have follows the backstage beauty trends – this collection of eye shadow colors creates an elegant or flirty palette with sultry smoky hues. Choose from pewter to plums -all you need to know is how to mix and match the textures. Layering is the key, using metallics to matte. Construct an 80’s glam eye design with metallic grey inside the corner of the eye and a matte one for a smoky effect from the lashes to the crease. Use an accent of purple filling in the water line with a waterproof gel liner visually lightens the color of your iris.
Chic line and lip
Keep the retro glam updated with a distinct cat eyeliner look. So retro, yet so chic. Draw eyeliner winged out to the outer edge with a kohl pencil. For a more steady line, layer it with a gel or liquid liner. Felt tip eyeliners are easy to create a precise and defined line. Pairing the cat eye look with a dark lip that has berry undertones will bring back the eighties mood.
Contour the dark lips with a clean lip edge easily achieved when blended in using a lip brush and by applying a concealer or matte highlight along the top lip line focusing on your cupids bow. Dark deep lip colors have always been adorned by many of us, wearing the right tone that is complimentary to your skin tone is utterly important.
Absolute HD
New and innovative high definition formulas are more than a must have. Creating a skin finish so picture perfect that is absolute flawless to a naked eye is not a backstage secret anymore. Layering the canvas with HD primers with skin tone correcting colors and evens out the complexion with HD foundation lastly setting it with invisible high definition powders gives the skin a coverage that looks airbrushed and a soft silk touch. Using the right tools ensure the longevity. So you look absolute fabulous at all times.
