Kristen Stewart’s Smudged Eye Make up…

If you want to look glam and natural at the same time  i would suggest you to have a smudged eye make up.  Earthy tones would help to have a natural look, but sure if you know how to apply it right. That way you are not going to look like you put so much effort to look pretty, you are a natural beauty already : ) Let’s talk about how to have that natural looking but glam, smudged eye make up now..

After applying your eyelid primer, do your wash on all over your eyelids with an off white matte eye shadow, then get a creamy black eye pencil. My favorite liner for the smudged look is Kohl Pencil (Crayon Khol) by Make up For Ever. Create a thin line and extend it on the outer corners a little bit. This is the best way to give a 3 diminutional look. Apply it on the lower and upper water line. This will create more depth and will make your eyelashes look longer. Then use your pencil brush to  smudge your liner. The pencil brush is easy to use and for smaller areas,  use smaller brushes. Apply it right on your lash line.  Then  extend it and blend it better on the outer corners. You don’t have to line your lower lash line, using the same brush would be enough to have a drop down shadow. I would suggest you to use a shimmery eye shadow, because when you apply a matte shadow on a creamy product it’s going to be really hard to blend them. The colors just sits there with no blending almost. That’s why i would use a shimmery earthy eye shadow palette. One of my favorite palette is Brown Eye Candy by Physicians Formula. It’s compact, great colors, not pricey, plus has 9 colors on the palette.  Then with a shimmery chocolate eye shadow  right on the smudged line create a smudged and smokey look, extend it on the outer corners. Use a fluffy brush for blending. Get a lighter shimmery brown tone and apply it on the top of the darker tone and blend them together.  Blending is very important for this kind of smudged and smokey eye make up look. No straight lines, everything must look soft and colors must be balanced with each other.  To bring more light use  a shimmery mustardy eye shadow on the inner corners . On the lower lash line, outer corners should be darker. On the outer corner use your chocolate shadow, in the middle should be lighter brown and right on the inner corner we already used a mustardy shimmery eye shadow. With a perfect porcelain skin and a natural (could be a little peachy color in it) lip gloss or lip stick, you are going to look Glam with almost no effort ! ;)

Christmas makeup looks and ideas - how to look gorgeous for the holiday season

School or work is on a break, time to look fab for Christmas! Here are some glamorous look for the Christmas season. Great for Christmas parties or just to look special every day during the holidays. Time to kick back and be a little creative with yourself this Christmas!









FLAWLESS SKIN

It's Christmas and the snow is falling. Nothing is worse than blemishes, freckles and dark circles on your face. Picture a snow princess or angel, porcelain and pristine. So let's ditch the bronzer and tan for a season! To help improve your skin texture, check out my post on How to get Acne Free Clear Skin.


Tip 1: Use a primer. It'll create the perfect canvas for your face that will help your makeup stay put and fill in pores.
Recommend: Smashbox Studio Fix, Revlon's Au Naturelle Primer

Tip 2: Conceal with a multicolored palette. Don't think that your skin comes in one shade. Our skin has many pigments. Use yellow for dark circles and green for redness.
Recommend: Benefit's multicolored concealer, Lise Watier (available only in Canada), Physician's formula Concealer Sticks. 


Tip 3: Mineral foundation. I know some of you really dread layers and layers of makeup on your face but full coverage doesn't have to be thick coverage. Try a mineral makeup. You buff on as many layers as you want and still feel like you are wearing nothing. For more pointers on which mineral foundations best suit your skin, check out my post on Mineral Foundation Hype.
Recommend: Bare Escentuals foundation, Physician's Formula mineral foundation, Revlon's Mineral Makeup

Tip 4: Spray on some natural spring water. This will set your makeup so it will last all day. Believe it or not, having water on your face will make your makeup rather waterproof for those of you living in rainy or snowy places. Plus, it will hydrate your skin for the dry winter. So very multi-functional!



CHEEKS

Brrrrrrrr...it's so cold when you are outside in the snow. But don't you just love those rosy cheeks you get from being outside? That's why I think rosy cheeks will be perfect for the holiday season. Nothing better than naturally glowing cheeks that make you look like you just came back from a snowball fight! For a list of my favorite blushes, see Best Blushes for all Budgets post.



Tip 1: Use one of those shade smart blushes. The ones with microbeads that turn into the perfect blush color for you when you put it on. This will give you the best natural blush ever.
Recommend: Almay Smart Shade blush, Smashbox O-Glow blush.

Tip 2: Apply it in the right areas. Smile and dab it right on those cheeks. Plus, blend blend blend.







EYES

My favorite part. Think gold, silver, green and plum. Just don't mix too many colors together or you might look like a Christmas tree. To make all the difference, remember to wear fake eyelashes.


Gold: The trick is to mix the gold with silver. Never apply gold alone or else it will look unnatural. Put silver on the inner corner of both your upper and lower lid and apply gold on the outer. Blend the two together. For an evening look, mix gold with brown to look sultry.

Silver: Also do not wear alone unless if you have really deep set eyes. Give your eyes some definition or your eyes will look flat like a white piece of paper. Give it some contour with gray or brown where your crease is and bravo, your silver will make you look wide awake for those present opening moments.

Green: Depending on the shade of green you pick, you can achieve different looks. I personally think matte dark green, like a Christmas tree is perfect for Christmas. It can be worn alone or just underneath your crease if you apply a similar matte highlighter on your brow bone. Also, contour those creases with black or brown for a smokey look. For those of you who like lighter green such as lime or forest green, go for a frosty look. Remember frost not glitter. Mix green with gold or silver. If you are a little on the wild side, try mixing it with pink for an edgier look.

Plum: To be used for evening looks. Here's your chance to have smokey eyes and stand out. I love plum and this will be the look I will be rocking most of the holiday season. Matte or shimmer, the possibilities are endless. Use plum with silver and I like to use a black shade on the crease to give my eyes some contour.



LIPS

Marilyn Monroe, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani. What do they all have in common? They are huge fans of red, bold lips. Me too but when I first tried red lips, it looked horrible. After some experimentation, I finally figured out why! For more tips on how to achieve the perfect red lip, see How to wear a red lip for Christmas, New Year's Eve or just everyday.




Tip 1: Use a lip liner. Contrary to popular believe, you are not supposed to match your lip liner with your lipstick. Match it with your lips because the point of a lip liner is to accentuate your lips, not your lipstick.

Tip 2: If you have thin lips or if you just want poutier lips, use a gloss on top. This will make the color underneath last longer.

Tip 3: Use one of those long lasting lipstick. One side with color, the other side with gloss. No doubt you will be munching on something throughout the day during the holidays. Nothing more annoying than reapplying every hour.
Recommend: Revlon's Colorstay Lipstick, Mac's Prowear lipstick, Maxfactor's lipstick.

For those with thin lips: apply gloss on top of your red lipstick. The trick is to make them look bigger. Matte red lipstick will shrink your lips, it did to mine.
Recommend: MAC red lipsticks and glosses, Clarin's Joli Rouge (my personal favorite)

For those with full lips: you will look gorgeous in matte red lipstick. It will look classy and elegant.
Recommend: Revlon's Matte collection lipstick (I'm in love with this one), Mac's matte lipstick
