Beauty in the Beastly Cold
Makeup Glam For The Winter Season
Oh baby it's cold outside! That does not mean you shouldn't look even more FABULOUS!!! Here are a few tips to looking beautiful and how to maintain your gorgeousness.
Eyeshadows and whats the color this season
Apply first to the under brow a highlighter color like a light neutral color. Apply from the brow to the lid. Examples of highlighter colors to be used on the under brow were pale taupe or gray. Next, apply a second color to the orbital bone like a dark or medium neutral. These colors can be brought halfway to the lid. Examples of colors to be used are smoked plum, gray, or smoked navy. Apply a third color to the lid. These colors could be the same color as your eyes or a complimentary neutral. Examples of colors to be used on the lid were mushroom, taupe, mauve, cocoa, plum, grayed brown, smoked mauve, or navy. These are the colors that are FIYAHH this season!
And now mascara & liner...
When it came to picking a mascara only people categorized as "winters", with extremely dark eyes, were to wear black. Other "winters" would wear brown-black or brown according to the depth of their coloring. If eyeliner was used, a person was to use only a touch of the liner on the outer third of the upper lid.
Perfect lips are a must!
Perfect looking lips are attainable and begin with an ideal lip line. You can have lips that look like a makeup artist did them simply by following a few important steps.
1. When applying foundation continue over the lips to provide a base for lip liner and lipstick.
2. Keeping your mouth-closed trace a fine line around the lips with a sharp pencil. A blunt pencil will make blending more difficult. Start at the v of the top lip and move outward to lip corners by making short strokes (rest your hand on your chin for better control). After you have penciled in the top lip, begin from the middle of the bottom lip and move outward also. Follow the natural lip line.
3. To make lips look larger follow the outer edge of the natural lip line making sure not to go over the natural lip line.
4. Lipstick will stay on longer if the whole lip is filled in with lip liner before lipstick is applied. If you decide to use this technique, be aware that darker lip liner will darken the look of your lipstick. And, if you are going for a light look use a light lip liner. We recommend a beautiful lipstick line from Marie Deneen Beauty.
They carry an array of shades which are all Shea butter based. If you are not a lipstick girl, but still need some protection, Marie Deneen also carries cocoa butter based lip balms. These lip balms have a delicious fragrant and with a doubt goes on sheer while softening your lips! Founder/CEO of Marie Deneen states, "We encompass beauty from around the world. Our passion is providing top quality products! Most of our line incorporates Shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil. From the creative design to the refreshing scents the products have been created to encourage empowerment and bring out the go getter in you" ~ Rashida Morgan-Brown

5. Now that lips are filled in, apply lipstick with a lipstick brush (using a lip brush will give you more control). When lipstick has been applied, with lips closed, lay a tissue across both lips to blot.
You are ready to go, with perfect lips. Continue with touch-ups during the day. If you are not used to wearing lipstick, it will probably take awhile to get used to having your lips done and not “eating” the lipstick. The plus to having nice lips, aside from the obvious, is you will never be plagued with dry lips again an over time they become softer. That’s certainly reason enough to take care of your lips, especially during the winter season!
