Kim Kardashian Makeup
The smoky eye look never looked so good as when on the face of the lovely Kim Kardashian. Getting this look is much simpler than you may think. Start with a very dark smoky shadow in brown, grey or black for her look, and smear it on from lash line to crease, maybe going just over the crease. Once this is applied, line your lids upper and lower with midnight black eyeliner in liquid form – no need to fan out at the ends or anything. Layer two types of mascara like Kim does for a sultry and very plump eyelash look. Kim only uses cream blush for her cheeks, and she’s a big fan of sparkly eyes with matte nude lips. For nude lips, look for a matte lipstick in a nude color to match your lips. This brings out the work you’ve done on your eyes much more. Cream blush on just the apples of the cheeks for a pink glow that compliments her eyes and sets off her nude lips. Try these tips for a truly Kardashian makeup look at your next party.

A woman known for her neutral and classic makeup looks, Angelina Jolie stuns everyone at red carpet events, usually without much more work than we do every day in our own homes. Getting Angelina’s look, from when she’s walking down the street to her lighting up the red carpet, is much easier than you may think. With a few techniques to keep in mind you can look like her makeup artist is your own, and with not even as much effort.
Angelina Jolie’s Makeup Style Summer 2010
One of the signature aspects of Angelina Jolie’s look is her nude lips. Because her lips are so full, she rarely wants to play them up by putting bright colored lip sticks and glosses on them. To get her nude lips, find a shade of lipstick or gloss that is just a little darker than your lips. Use a lip liner that is close to the same color to trace in your lips so the lipstick will stay on longer, and boom! You’ve got Angelina Jolie’s nude lips.

Another great part of Angelina’s look is her sultry eyes. To get this look on your eyes, use a neutral or earth tone and a darker neutral liner. Smudge the eyeliner upward as you put it on, then apply the neutral eye shadow to your creases. For best results, try an eye shadow that has a bit of sparkle for a better night look, or play it down for a day at the office. Remember that with a dramatic eye you always want to keep your lips subtle, like Angelina Jolie does.
How to Find a Balance with Makeup
How to Find a Balance with Makeup
So you’re planning a night out on a town or a comfortable, cozy dinner date with your partner, and you’re having makeup issues. This happens to all of us – even professionals have had some bad makeup days. What you may not know is that there are some tips you can follow to help you find, apply and rock your makeup look to go with any occasion possible.
A big thing to keep in mind when planning your makeup look is how you are going to be wearing your hair. Often times when a hairdo is up and extravagant or overdone, and the makeup is overdone, it can get a little drag queen/Stephen King’s It when all’s said and done. Doing your makeup in the opposite style of your hair is a good tip to keep in mind. Another great tip to keep in mind is to do the opposite with your lips/cheeks as you do with your eyes to avoid overdoing it on everything.
The occasion for which you are putting on makeup is also important to consider. For example, a night out on the town will probably include some night clubs with very dark lighting, which means you need brighter and heavier makeup to be seen then you would in a well-lighted restaurant. Or for a night with a partner in a romantic setting where your will be sitting close enough to see every line, you may want to go light on the makeup in order to be seen in the most flattering way.
Liquid, Powder, Stick, Black, Mauve, Violet – Choosing Right Eyeliner 2010
Liquid, Powder, Stick, Black, Mauve, Violet – Choosing Right Eyeliner 2010
Liquid, powder, stick, black, mauve, violet? There are so many different types, variations and ways of doing eyeliner that it is almost impossible not to be confused when starting out using it. The bad news – sometimes eyeliner just isn’t for everyone. The good news – deciding whether or not it’s right for you is easier than you think, and sometimes the answer can change. Learning a little about which eyeliners and colors to use when can help a lot when getting started in the overwhelming world of eyeliners.
Deciding what type to use should always come first when dealing with eyeliner. For a woman with a very steady hand and confident stroke, liquid eyeliner really isn’t as complicated as it is for a woman whose hand is a little less steady. Powder eyeliner, however, is really not good for anyone’s eyes or wallet. First of all, you can buy eye shadow for much less and use it as a powder eyeliner, and second, powder is almost unanimously voted the hardest to apply. For a shaky or steady hand, the stick eyeliners are a really good choice – just make sure to buy a sharpener, as they work best when sharpened.
Colors of eyeliners really isn’t as difficult as you may think. Often the color eyeliner you should be wearing is just a shade or so darker than the eye shadow you’re wearing – remember you want to enhance your naturally beautiful eyes, not hide them behind thick eyeliner. Or try eyeliner in a contrasting shade to draw attention to your eyes.
How To Apply Blush The Right Way, Summer 2010
How To Apply Blush The Right Way, Summer 2010
The rules for applying blush have come a long way since its invention. Women went from wearing it in a distinct circle on the apples of the cheeks, to wearing it up into their hairline, and even to wearing it so barely there or so dark it was almost useless. Applying blush can be easy, flattering, and even fun, however! It just takes knowing the latest fashions, your own skin tone, and how to apply it so that it looks tasteful and flattering, not tasteless and embarrassing.
Deciding on a blush is at least half the battle of the blush problems. Many experts say to try and match your blush color to the color of your natural cheeks after you have been exercising or when you’re flushed with embarrassment. Another good tip is to try and match the color to your lips, or just go with your skin tone. Dark skin likes reds and apricots, and fair skin is better with rose and peach.
The final half of the battle is applying it correctly. It is important first of all to get a brush that is appropriate for your face. Use a full size blush brush to get the maximum coverage, and apply the brush only to the apples of your cheeks. NEVER blend the blush up into your side burns or hair line, as this can make the face look unnaturally stretched and lengthened, and also look funny when your hair is the color of your blush. Go for a natural, healthy glow.
Finding The Right Shade – Is Your Eye Shadow Working Against You?
Finding The Right Shade – Is Your Eye Shadow Working Against You?
One thing we all worry about is how to choose, wear and rock a shade of eye shadow so that we look good and not like a circus clown. The truth is that we all struggle with making the right eye shadow choice – for our jobs, a night out, or even for running errands. The good news however is that there are some tips and tricks to follow that will help guide you in the right direction no matter the occasion for which you are wearing it.
The first thing that has to be considered when choosing an eye shadow is your particular eye color. These are rules that will always apply, and they are perfect for the beginner eye shadow chooser. For green eyes, try gold or lilac colors, and experiment a little with different shades to bring out the best of your eyes – this goes for hazels too. Blue eyes should try deeper blue than your shade, gray, taupe, and deep purples. Brown eyes should go for copper, bronze, khaki greens, and browns.
Finally, consider your occasion or lighting at where you’ll be. At the office, tone down the colors unless your job requires bold fashion sense – try neutral or earth tones. For a night out, don’t be afraid to play it up a little more brightly so the dim light can really bring it out. And for running errands, it really depends on your personal style – try going bold for chic shopping or playing it down for soccer-mom status.
Makeup Application Some Easy Steps For Flawless Look
Makeup Application – Some Easy Steps For Flawless Look Summer, Fall 2010
When it comes to makeup, some girls want to go all out and look stunning while sporting all sorts of different shades and glittery finishes, but then there are many girls who simply long for a flawless complexion. If you find yourself in this position then all you have to do is follow a few easy steps to get this right.
1. Cleansing: cleansing is important for two reasons. Firstly, it will help to get rid of residual oil and dirt on your face to ensure your pores don’t become clogged and you don’t breakout. Secondly, it allows for makeup to be applied smoothly and evenly. You can simply use your daily cleanser for this.
2. Moisturizing: moisturizing is important for smooth application. If your skin is dry your makeup will look flaky. If you have naturally oily skin then get an oil-free moisturizer. This will keep your skin moist and supple.
3. Priming: a few minutes after you have applied the moisturizer you can apply the primer. This is done to give your skin a matte effect, and to ready your skin for the makeup.
4. Concealing: concealing is great for covering up pimples or dark spots that you don’t want to show through. Dab some on your skin and gently blend it in, being careful not to wipe it off.
5. Foundation: whether you are using liquid or powder foundation, make sure that you pick a color that matches your skin tone. Foundations that are either too dark or too light are very noticeable because it doesn’t match the rest of your skin.
6. Optional extras: now that you have a flawless complexion you can decide whether you want to add other makeup. Some eyeliner, blush and lip-gloss are great if you want to keep that natural look.
