If You Are a Glam Queen
Some of us have a flair for drama and yearn to try something glamorous for a change, but don't know where to start. The trick is to play up your key features and let them do all the talking. Follow these steps to put together your fab face.
A dramatic look calls for more coverage. Choose a foundation that looks dewy but offers full coverage. Try the Global Goddess Complexion Perfection Duo.
Let your eyes be the focus of your look. Don't stick to charcoals and browns; play them up with color. Purples, blues and greens are a great way to add drama and glamour to your eyes. Try the Makeup Forever series of eye shadows. If you are nervous about going all out with a bright color, opt for a cream-based eye shadow rather than a powder. You'll get a warmer, softer burst of color.
Opt for a bronzer instead of a blush to avoid looking overdone.
Since your dramatic eyes are taking center stage, keep your lips soft and simple so they don't clash. Try a MAC Spice Lip Pencil and then apply a neutral shade of MAC Clear Lipglass gloss over it.
If You Are a Natural, Go for a Glowing "No-Makeup" Look
Start by keeping your skin hydrated and exfoliated regularly. Great looking skin is the first step to a natural glow.
Heavy foundation will only weigh your skin down. Skip it and opt for a tinted moisturizer that gives you a sun-kissed effect. I love Clarins Tinted Moisturizer.
Don't give in to the temptation of putting on too much blush. Pink-based blush colors that have pearlescent pigments will give you just the touch of color you need. Try the Global Goddess Chai Cheek Color in Chowrasta.
Keep your eye and lip makeup simple. A black mascara like the Lancôme Definicils will highlight your eyes. I like a sheer lip gloss, like the Revlon Hydragloss, for a finishing touch. Less is more with this look.
