Make-up trend for 2011

1. Bold dark eyebrows

 Celebrities are sporting the thicker and fuller brows.This look would make you look younger than your actual age :)

Get that look

I used Benefit's Brows a-go-go and Mac brow gel in Beguile

 

1. Fill in your brows using the darker shade of brown. Apply this in upward strokes.

 2.Using this brow gel is rather tricky since you need to apply just the right amount of liquid on your brows. Apply this in different strokes until you've tamed your eyebrows.

*Mac's brow gel keeps your brows in place all day. It also makes your eyebrow appear fuller.

  

Here's my Dark, Full eyebrows :)

2. Bold Lips 
Bright Red, Red-orange and Fuchsia are the top picks for this year's trend for lipsticks. Wear it either glossy or matte.

Get that look!

 

Red Orange

 

Fuchsia

 

Glossy Finish

 Matte finish

 *Only apply this with light eye make-up, except during shoots or fashion shows :)

3. Neon Eyes

Neon eyes are popular during the 80s' and they are back!

Mac eyeshadow x4 in tempting Eye

Even better when matched with a nude lipsticks
*resolution of the cam is so poor. This color looks even more stunning in person :)

4. The perfect skin 
The No make up look requires a full make up application. This might be trickier than it seems.  It requires a lot of process.

 Get that look!

1. Prime your face

2.  Apply tinted moisturizer, BB cream, cream foundation, liquid foundation. It's up to you.

I used this beauty balm from MAC using my foundation brush

3. Conceal

4. Contour

                                            

 *Contour where necessary. Sides of the cheekbones, corners of the jaw, forehead etc..

5. Highlight

Highlight portions of the face you want to emphasize

 

 6. Translucent powder all over the face

7. Blush
I used peach blush to give my cheeks a natural glowing color.

8. Apply nude lipstick or balm 

 

9. Mascara+ eyeliner
Eyeliner should not be seen, one trick for applying this is to apply it in the waterline of the eyes.

The Secret camouflage concealer

This Revolutionary, high pigmented camouflage concealer will totally hide under eye circles, discolorations, blemish scars and imperfections.

Application tips : Use a concealer brush to warm and mix the two colors until you find the shade that matches your skin tone.

Step 4 : Setting powder

Here i have 2 Loose Setting powders in translucent and in beige and  a Pressed setting powder

The Setting powder is the key of perfectly blended and long lasting makeup. It contains little or even no pigments, so there will no cakings and discoloration of makeups.
