Plump, pouts, plum.



Purple may have been last fall's colour, but these lips are sure an attention grabber. Wear them with neutral make up to draw attention to your lips. Make sure that you lips are nice and smooth though, because your look can turn out disastrous with chapped lips.

Or for the more hesitent...
try a more subdued version:

Face fall with freshness.





Sadly the hot summer days (very few that we've had) will be over. Fall is just around the corner and your make up requires an update. I found a very cute new trend on www.taaz.com which is a photo editing site where you can try on make up and hairstyles. The idea behind this look is to look young and glowing.

For your eyes, you should apply a shimmery light blue, baby pink, or taupe eyeshadow. Apply it over the lid as well bringing it up bit. There is not need to use anymore colours for crease or highlight unless you think it fits better. Use a pencil eyeliner and apply it to the roots of your lashes only or otherwise known as waterline. Try to use a brown or dark purple because they are more soft. But if your hair is black and you have big eyes you can go ahead and apply a thin line of black. About two or three layers of black mascara (preferably the type that makes your lashes wispy) will help your eyelashes look long, and feathery.

Your skin should resemble a perfectly-skinned teenage girl. That means minimum coverage but matte finish. Something like powder will do. I used Yves Rocher, Yria pressed powder
"http://www.yvesrocher.ca/control/maquillage/fonds-de-teint/teint-radieux-poudre-eclat-effet-lissant-beige-naturel/?hbxSrc=_Search"
and a concealer by Organic wear in Soft Yellow Organics "http://www.organicwearmakeup.com/en-us/ProductDetail/Organic-wear-100-Natural-Origin-Concealer-Stick/02150.html".
You may choose to apply an appricot or peach blush. I just don't have any of that shade. It should perk you face up right away and look younger.

For my lips I used Yves Rocher Luminelle lipstick in petale. "http://www.yvesrocher.ca/control/rouge-a-levres-luminelle-petale/"
and then I applied a golden lipgloss.

Try out this look and I hope it fits you. It's very "girl next door" so you should look the prettiest girl on your block.
