4 looks to bring in the New Year!

New Year’s Eve Makeup Ideas
Dramatic & Bold Smoky Eye: If you love something ultra smoky with lots of black, false lashes, and smoldering, this all-black smoky eye may be your cup of tea.

Smoky Grays: Silvers and grays are what I identify the “original” smoky eye with — this is just one take on the traditional smoky eye. Pair it with a lighter lip to keep all the attention on the eyes.

Festive Gold & Cranberry: Great for a brighter, more colorful look with still a little smoky cranberry edge. I always associate gold and red with the holiday season (both for Christmas and NYE, actually), so I love variations on this theme for eyeshadow, too.

Neutral with a Kick: I love neutrals — I love barely there shades that really flatter peepers, like this soft, brighter beige kind of look. This look is also perfect for pairing with bolder lips!

Need Help finding the right FOUNDATION?

Hey ppl I am here to help find out the right foundation. When looking for the right "face" you should try to match your neck out FIRST! Usually the neck is the closet match to your face.
If your face is oily try a mineralize foundation or use a oil control lotion or primer first. For dry skin stay away from power used a liquid foundation then a power after.
For ppl who has blemishes use a concealer to cover up the dark spots on the skin( under eyes, pimples and around your mouth and nose.) Remember to use a blending brush. I use MAC 187 brush. Blend to your eyes and down to your neck! You don't want to look like your wearing a mask!
Then add on your foundation a power if you like or not but always add your FIX BRUME spray!

Holiday Trends 2009



U can so achieve this look too!

Holiday Trends to follow in 2009!

Go with just a light touch here — Think of wearing just a golden sheer gloss on the lips. LipFusion makes an excellent one called Glow. For eyes, a glossy, sheer pink cream eye shadow is wonderful. Ramy makes especially great cream quads for the eyes, which I find myself dipping into over and over again. For blush, try a sheer, creamy matte pink applied to the highest part of the cheeks. I like Tickle Me Pink Cream Color Base from MAC. And finish this light-touch holiday look with one coat of black or deep brown mascara on both the upper and lower lashes.

Also two looks that are very in this seasonal: Smokey eyes and Red lips. Go for it!

For the Smokey Eye
1. Apply your eye makeup: Eyeliner on both top and bottom lashes (be sure to 'smudge it,' dark eyeliner will age you), a eye shadow primer (I like MAC Paints), and a shimmery shadow on the lid. Don't apply any more mascara unless your earlier application has rubbed completely off, otherwise you risk getting clumpy lashes.
2. Dab a shimmery blush to cheeks (I love Bobbi Brown's creamy blushes which also works as lipstick).
3. Powder your face lightly.
4. Apply a light lipstick or gloss.

For Deep Red Lips
1. Cover unsightly veins on eyelids with a matte eyeshadow in a color that's as close as your skin tone as possible (such as beige).
2. Apply a very light shimmery blush on cheeks.
3. Line lips and fill in with your favorite red color.
4. Powder face.
