Teach Me Tuesday-Those Eyes, oh my!

| Tuesday, May 22, 2012

Blue, Brown, Green and Hazel-
Eyes are said to be the window to the soul


When using colors on our lids, like in wardrobe, there are a few simple rules to follow.
Here are some makeup idea's that anyone can do for individual eye color

For the Brown Eyed Beauty

Pop out those colored contacts and put your brown eyes on display!

Remembering the basic color wheel, (see last weeks post about colorblocking to brush up on some crucial color theory info), and our complimentary colors we know blue compliments brown.
Keep with this simple rule, it's fool proof.


Choosing colors that are neighbors to one another also creates a pleasing effect
Brown eyes, red/orange makeup...


Go the other way on the color wheel and you get into yellow/orange
Opt for a beautiful butter tone for understated impact-when keeping the eyes subtle, punch up the lips with something bold



For the Blue Eyed Dames

Blue being complimentary to brown, brown is also complimentary to blue.
Brown, when paired with blue eyes creates an effect that could stop traffic!

A soft smokey eye in varying hues of brown...head dress optional


Keep the eyes natural to speak for themselves and pump up the lip
On the lid, try a creamy vanilla or shimmery butter for a little kick


Try a mono chromatic look using pinks and corals for lips, cheeks and eyes



For the Green Eyed Gals


Green eyes are rare, so if you got 'em flaunt 'em!
Working with warm tones like golds, browns and bronze we compliment the uniqueness of this eye color


Lavender, periwinkle, royal purple and Aubergine (french for eggplant) are all great choices to commemorate green eyes


A fail proof way to go with any eye color is black.
Try a dramatic winged eyeliner to get your point across


For the Hazel eyed Hottie


Hazel eyes, like green, are rare and striking. Keeping the makeup simple will ensure optimal impact when others gaze into your "window"

Using a monochromatic scheme with a soft smokey liner on the eyes and a pink lip is just what these hazel peepers need.


A slightly bolder, more defined black liner with a wash of shimmer on the lid is perfect



So whatever color of eyes your got, work with them!
Let your eyes do the talking for they say so much


Much Love From,

Trending Thursday: Summer Color for the Kisser

| Thursday, May 17, 2012

Make a statement with your lips this season

Luscious lips glazed in Luminous Shine!


Pastel Pouts with a Matte Finish



Today we bring to you 5 of our favorite lips colors, tones and textures to try this Summer

Luscious berry hues are where it's at this summer! This lip is the perfect fit for all the color in clothing this season.

Nars Como in Shimmering Berry.

Try teaming this juicy shade with bronzed makeup or even with an electric blue eyeliner for serious impact

 MAC-Sailor Collection

Orange is the new hot shade of the season-the perfect addition to a pretty sundress and tanned skin


Yves Saint Laurent-Color 8 Orange De Chine

With a gloss this bold, keep the rest of your makeup minimal to allow your lips to shine!


Want beautiful sheen with minimal color?
Try Bobbi Brown's Sheer Color Lip Gloss in Violet Pink


This pretty lilac shade is prefect to add a touch of color to a natural look. Or play on the 
Barbie-esque feel and work it into a cool pallet of blues or girly pinks


Scream SUMMER with a gold hued gloss

Dior-Addict Ultra Gloss in Gold Sunrise

Perfectly paired with a sun kissed glow or try it with a warm smokey eye in brown shades for the evening with a touch of gold highlight on the cheekbones.
See what happens when you add gold to your orange pout..Remember to keep the gold as a highlight though, so apply only to the centre of the top and bottom lips.



Baby Pink gloss (#504) by Giorgio Armani-Pretty and fresh, long wearing and not sticky! A mastered formula

 For those who love dramatic eyes, baby pink gloss will create the perfect balance.


A variety of lip colors for a variety of styles!
