vNumber #1 in that winter 2010-2011 is Smokey eyes in so many different versions, could be bi-color version, but make sure you keep the severe tone using darker shades of brown, golden and taupe. Also pair black and gray, golden brown, or gray and blue.
vYou are allowed to use lighter eye shadow on the entire top eyelid, even going up towards the brown. Try to keep your makeup as simple as possible, than use mascara or eyeliner.
vWhen it comes to eyebrows this session keep them as natural as possible, when it comes to the shape or color. Good choice will be eyebrow pencil with a creamy texture in order to add a slightly healthy glowing.
vLips are so red and hot this winter. You can be more sexy and elegant touch to your overall look.
vMakeup foundation colors tend to remain same from season-to-season. But still, each person brings about a new texture to explore. Heavy winters often inspire a matte, powder look that is absolute opposite of sheer looks of summer.
My favorite will be Bare Minerals foundation kits that match skin tones and easy to use.
The Bare Mineral "Magic" Make up offers a very much finer texture that other mineral powder,
which gives the foundation a smooth, matte finish. What impressed me that most is that make up stays on until you take it off.
Why I choose this Bare Mineral Foundation Makeup?
First of all because pure minerals, with only four or five natural ingredients like: Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Iron Oxids, Zinx Oxids. This product are without any: talc, fragrance, oil, and preservatives, which are good alternative for those who have sensitive skin.
My another passion is makeup, so I always want to write about it, how to perform the right make up for the eyes.
The eyes are very important when it comes to makeup. The proper application of eye colors and shadow can create the illusion of the eyes being larger of smaller, and will enhance the overall attractiveness of the face.
Round eyes can be lengthened be extending the shadow beyond the outer corner of the eyes.
Close-set eyes are closer together than the length of one eye. For eyes that are too close together, lightly apply darker shadow on the outer edge of the eyes and light on the inside near the nose.
Protruding eyes can be minimized be blending a dark shadow carefully over the prominent part of the eyelid, carrying it lightly toward the eyebrows. Use a medium to deep shadow color.
For heavy-lidded eyes, shadow evenly and lightly across the lid from the edge of the eyelash line to the small crease in the eye socket.
To make small eyes appear larger, extend the shadow slightly above and beyond the eyes.
To correct wide-set eyes, apply the shadow on the inner side of the eyelid toward the nose, and blend carefully.
For deep-set eyes, use a bright, light, reflective colors. Use the lightest color in the crease, and a light to medium color sparingly on the lid and brow bone.
Everybody have different eye shapes, and it’s not easy to correct them. I have few professional techniques which helps me to perform the correct the eye shapes.

My passion for make up was from the beginning, when I was a child I like lipstick, mascara and everything what’s my mom had in the purse. I could play for hours in my mom cosmetics. So let me say that I believe there are no rules when it comes to make up, besides, the obvious: “Don’t curl, your eyelashes in a speeding vehicles”, or “Don’t put lipstick in your eye”. I think women need a lot of variety in their lives. And makeup, whether it’s coral lipstick or false eyelashes or simple brown eye shadow, is a way of achieving that. It lightens the mood, its fun and I’m very glad we have it. I always feel better with makeup on, and I hate getting caught without it. There are so many things in the world that you have to face that aren’t pleasant, that being able to learn something and have a little fun and feel better about yourself, all in the time it takes to get from one page to the next, is a special and wonderful combination
As a makeup artist, I have learned many tricks to keep your fresh face and beautiful all day or especially at special events like a wedding or social occasion. Here of few of my favorite tips I can share with you.
Eye shadow colors for each eye color:
- BLUE EYES: deep blue, taupe, and purple, black, silver - HAZEL OR GREEN EYES: plum, brown, purple, bright purple, khaki, and forest green, - BROWN EYES: bronze, khaki-green, copper, soft pink, brown, beige, tangerine, and royal blue,
These are only my suggestions so don’t feel limited to these eye shadow colors. Step 1 Now that you have picked out your eye shadow colors it is time for application. First start with the lightest color in your eye shadow pallet. Apply your color from your eyes lashes to your eyebrows. Step 2 Next take the second lightest color and apply to just your eye lid. Step 3 If your pallet has only three colors you will use your darkest color next. This should be applied in the crease of your eyelid from the outside edge of the eye to the middle of the eye. Step 4 Blend all three colors together with a brush or finger to make the eye shadow look smooth. If there are four colors in your pallet use the darkest color at the outer edge of the eye. Apply from just above the crease to the center or just below the crease in a sideways V shape. Be sure that the eye shadow does not extend beyond the eyebrow. Blend in with a finger or brush.
Next step is Concealer, you can mask those unwanted blemishes, freckles, or dark spot. Of course before you put any concealer, make sure you clean your face first. Use a gently face cleanser to remove any dirt or impurities. Your concealer should be one shade lighter than your foundation.
After concealer is Foundation. Choose a foundation color that will blend in with your natural skin tone. Remember, when purchasing foundation, that your skin color will change with the seasons. In the summer you need a little darker color, most likely tan. In the winter, your skin will lighten to its natural color and you will need lighter shade of foundation.
Next step is Powder.
Be sure to have a good powder brush to apply your translucent powder. If your brush in a downward motion, you will get more of a smooth finished look. Number one is Bare Minerals Powder, lightweight and sheer for a natural look, natural ingredients, SPF 15, that’s all you need to, hear about that Powder.
With this knowledge available to you, you can achieve your own unique stunning look, and do your own makeover! Learning to apply cosmetics properly is an art, but you can do it and look absolutely beautiful and have the peace of mind of knowing that you do.
