I haven’t updated for a while as I’ve just been slacking away during my December holidays, reading, going out with friends. Read too much fanfiction that I’ve neglected reading my fashion and cosmetic blogs! My Google Reader is exploding!
Anyways, I found this website (8minutemakeup.com) and here’s some makeup tips from the website! All text in purple credited to 8minutemakeup.com (:
Sophisticated Look
- For this look it’s best to apply foundation all over your face, paying special attention to the area under eyes. Use a light-reflecting concealer to bring special attention to your eyes.
- Gently powder your face with the finest loose powder to fix your foundation for an extra long-lasting effect.
- Apply dark eye shadow to the eyelids. Choose color that is quite dark to deepen your eyes, but not too dark to avoid “dirty” effect. Apply eyeshadow all over moving part of you eyelids and blend the color up towards the eyebrows and blend it in beneath the eyes as well.
- Hot pink lip gloss adds volume to your lips.
- Finish off with an orange rouge. It’s a great color if you want to draw attention to your cheekbones, but not distract form your eyes.
Seductive Look
- Dot a sheer light-reflecting foundation over areas that need evening out (such as around your eyes and nose, cheeks and chin) and blend in.
- Apply cream blush in soft peach to the apples of your cheeks and blend gently towards the hairline.
- Play up eyes with deep khaki greens, plums, and navys. Use metallic shades and layer creams and powders to make your eyes stand out without looking too made up.
- Soft pink lips give ultra-feminine look a flirty finish.
- Complete the look with glowing, highlighted skin. Apply powder or cream highlighter to the cheeks and to the brow bone. Also use shimmer all over the body for a sexy look.
Smokey Eyes Look
- Apply foundation, concealer and powder as above.
- Apply a grayish/black or brownish/black eyeshadow to the lid and under the eyes so that it fades out at the sides.
- After that apply a softer golden-beige eyeshadow on the edges of dark eye shadow to soften it up.
- Then apply black eyeliner pencil on the rim of your eyelid – this makes the eyes look sharp and deep – and lots of black mascara.
- Contour your face with rouge and a highlighter.
- Apply a thin layer of matte nude lipstick
I love the smokey eyed look no matter what. Wondering how I can consider pulling off the look for school. Lol.
And here’s a set that I did on Polyvore quite a while ago. Makeup porn!
