Make up
tips
New Year is a holiday which
symbolises a new beginning, so
it’s a great opportunity to shine,
to experiment, to change and to
surprise your friends with a new
image. Every woman on New
Year’s Eve wants to stand out
from the crowd, to look stunning
and to charm everyone around.
In order to achieve your goal
you need to start preparing in
advance.
Pamper your skin now if you haven’t yet
so you look your best on the night. Don’t
forget to use SPF protection daily as even
if the sun is not visible it doesn’t mean
you are safe. You should use it every day.
As it’s cold and windy outside at this time
of the year, your lips need special care.
Moisturising lip balm should always be
in your handbag. I recommend climate
control lip treatment by Dermalogica. It’s
my favourite lip care product which is
formulated with exclusive Anti-Ozonate
complex which helps damaged skin to
recover from environmental assaults while
providing the barrier against future ones.
You can even use it on your skin if you
have any dry patches or on your elbows
if they are really dry. For more information
visit www.dermalogica.co.uk. Let’s not
forget our hands as well. Moisturise and
make sure you wear gloves to keep them
warm and protect them from the wind
and cold.
Going back to makeup, here are
some guidelines on how to look more
fashionable and stunning on the biggest
night of the year.
This Autumn/Winter season there are
several key trends: simple smoky eyes,
naturalness and bright lips. A perfect
combination for that special occasion
38
look. Be brave this festive evening to
alter these trends a little according to
your taste and personal preference.
Customise your very own makeup recipe
for New Year’s celebration as it’s the
perfect time to shine! Don’t be afraid of
bright, intense, sparkling colours and
glitter will definitely add that wow affect.
If you decide to focus on your eyes and
create that simple yet dramatic smoky
look remember that is doesn’t have to be
black. Use dark brown, grey, dark blue,
purple or moss colours. The key thing to
remember is blending. You should blend
blend blend your eyeshadow really well.
No harsh lines should be visible. Don’t be
shy and smoke it out until you are happy
with the result. Add a bit of sparkle in the
centre of your eyelids by using glitter, it
will catch the light nicely to make your
eyes stand out. Finish this look with false
eyelashes and you will be the Queen of
the night. Keep your lips simple, nude
will look great. Just remember if you
have smoky makeup your skin should
look perfect and flawless. This is easily
achievable if you look after your skin on a
daily basis. Cleanse and moisturise twice
a day, exfoliate once or twice a week
and drink lots of water. Your skin will
look healthy and your makeup will look
fabulous.
