7 Fall Lipsticks You Need To Try This Season

On 20 November 2016 By TunessaIn Beauty3 Comments

Bold and beautiful are two words we’d use to describe the fall lipsticks you’ll need this season, and if you’d like to try them out, check out these shades.

When it comes to lipstick, it seems as if we’re always bombarded with a hundred different shades from a thousand different brands. In the spring and summer, we are bombarded with the return of bright colors like pinks and oranges.

When it comes to fall lipsticks, the color palette takes on a dark approach with deeper and warmer tones.

Whether you’re a fan of Youtube beauty vloggers or makeup accounts on Instagram, the chances that you’ve fallen in love with a deep lipstick shade are high. Look no further!

If you want a glimpse into all of the best shades that will be hitting the streets this season, check out these 7 lipstick shades. Regardless of if your pockets are shallow or deep, you’ll be able to find a product that suits your style and budget!

Black

NYX Cosmetics Macaron Lippies in the Shade Chambord

Why not jump right into the fall lipsticks with the boldest of the bunch?! If you’re more conservative when it comes to your lipstick, this might not be your cup of tea, but if you’re ready to shock the world with your bold lipstick, this is definitely the choice.

Black lipstick was once seen as a gothic trend, but it has become a staple in anyone’s closet that’s looking to make a statement with their makeup.

If you’re looking for a few brands with black lipstick to try, check out these three.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in the shade “Witches,” $20

Covergirl Katy Kat Matte Lipstick in the shade “Perry Panther,” $7

NYX Cosmetics Macaron Lippies in the Shade “Chambord,” $6

Blue

Melt Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick in the shade DGAF

I’m blue, da-ba-dee-da-ba-die. You might not be blue, but this season, you might find that your fall lipsticks are! Although the black lipstick trend was initially seen in gothic fashion, the blue lipstick trend popped out of the woodwork! When it comes to blue hues, you’ll find that you’re either dealing with a lighter turquoise shade or a deeper indigo.

One rule of thumb when applying blue lipstick is to always try with a liner first. For colors like blue, it is easy to tell if the lipstick is streaky because your natural lip color will peak through. If you’re ready to join the blue wo(man) group, check out these blue lippies.

Melt Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick in the shade “DGAF.” $19

Lena Lashes More Matte than Matte in the shade “Angelo,” $6

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in the shade “Angelo,” $20

Brown

Kylie Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks in the shade True Brown K

Before the rise of Kylie Cosmetics, brown lipsticks were a growing trend but it’s no surprise that with the coming of Kylie Jenner’s own brown liquid lipstick that the trend rose even more.

Brown lipsticks are a huge trend for these upcoming fall months, and we’re not just talking any brown. There are many brown shades that have hints of orange in them, but we’re talking deep brown.

Although Colourpop Cosmetics “Limbo” might appear deep on women with fairer skin tones, it does not hold the same effect as it would on a woman with a deeper complexion. Thankfully, the brown shades from Lena Lashes and Kylie Cosmetics look rich and dark on a variety of skin tones.

Lena Lashes More Matte than Matte in the shade “Frederique,” $6

Kylie Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks in the shade “True Brown K,” $17

Colourpop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks in the shade “Limbo,” $6

Deep Orange

Colourpop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade Kae

Bright oranges are the call for the warmer months but deeper oranges are a staple for fall lipsticks. For these months, we’re trading in the neons for burnt oranges and terracottas.

If you’re thinking of all the deeper orange shades in a 64-count Crayola box, that’s the vibe we’re going for! Not only are deep oranges perfect for the fall because they’re reminiscent of the leaves that scatter the ground, but they’re perfect for pairing with the other classic fall colors like camel and olive green.

For women with deeper skin tones, the “classic” deep orange might not look so deep on you. To counter this, try pairing your shade on top of a dark brown lip liner to achieve the perfect fall look!

Colourpop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade “Lovebug,” $6

Ofra Cosmetics Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in the shade “Miami Fever,” $19.90

Colourpop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade “Kae,” $6

Deep Red

MAC Lipstick in the shade Media

If there is one shade you can get away with wearing during any season, it’s red. For reasons unknown, red has been the classic and staple lip color of any makeup collection.

Although we’re a fan of the candy red lipstick all year round, our fall lipsticks are trading in the brighter shade for its deeper companion. The vampy reds of the season will have you giving Dracula, Edward Cullen, and even Count von Count a run for their money. Just like most red shades, this deeper alternative works wells with almost any wardrobe.

Keep your eye out for a few vampy red shades that will leave your lips looking like you just finished a serving of blood long after you tried wiping it away.

MAC Lipstick in the shade “Media,” $17

Dose of Colors Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade “Black Rose,” $18

Ofra Cosmetics Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in the Shade “Havana Nights,” $19.90

Grey

MAC x Halsey Lipstick in the shade Halsey

If you fell into the hype of 50 Shades of Grey, then you’d probably realize that gray is a fast growing trend, even in the makeup industry. Many makeup lovers are hesitant of the gray trend because of the ashy appearance of the color, but it seems that gray is the “traveling pants” of the lipstick world – it goes great with many different skin tones.

While you might be caught deciding whether or not you can master the gray lipstick trend, you might first want to recognize the different types.

You first have your “pure” gray which resembles the lipstick from Smashbox and then you have Halsey’s lipstick from MAC which has a very distinct blue undertone.

Smashbox Be Legendery Lipstick in the shade “Punked Matte,” $21

MAC x Halsey Lipstick in the shade “Halsey,” $17

Purple

Milani Cosmetics Amore Matte Liquid Lipsticks in the shade Matte Glam

Last, but certainly not least, if you’re not ready to try your hand at black, blue, or brown lipstick, you can always take your first shot at purple. Purple lipstick has significantly grown in the makeup world and there’s a good reason for it.

If you’re ready to branch out into different colors without wanting to take a dive into the deep end with an extremely bold color like black, purple is a good transitional color.

If you’re not dealing with a true purple, chances are you’re dealing with a purple that has either pink or red undertones to it which will help you, especially if you’re transitioning from pink or red lipsticks.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cremes in the shade “Transylvania,” $6

Milani Cosmetics Amore Matte Liquid Lipsticks in the shade “Matte Glam,” $5.99

MAC Lipstick in the shade “Smoked Purple,” $17

With the help of these fall lipsticks, you’ll be adding a bit more bold to your beautiful! Makeup is an experiment and what better way to experiment than with these dark shades for the fall months?!

What Every Woman Must Have In Her Makeup Bag

On 14 April 2016 By TunessaIn Beauty4 Comments

Sittingrum up a makeup kit, but not sure where to begin? We have the answers you need! Here are thing that are a must have in your makeup bag.

When I first became interested in makeup, I knew that I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on makeup. I don’t use it often, so it usually ends up in the trash can because it’s expired rather than finished.

So, I watched some beginners’ makeup videos on YouTube, and read some articles about makeup products needed to make a pro makeup look.

To make a long story short, I made a list of the essential products, which I want to share with you. If you are a beginner, don’t use makeup every day or want to save some money, keep reading for some tips and suggestions.

Eyeshadow

eyeswadow palette

Eyeshadow is used to make your eyes pop. It comes in many different colors, but I recommend buying a palette of neutral and bright colors. In this way, you can diversify your makeup looks.

You can choose a shimmer, matte or sheer shadow. The most famous formulas are cream, pressed or loose powder or crayons.

You can also buy cosmetic glitter and even 3D glitter. When using cosmetic glitter, it’s better to have glitter in a gel, on an adhesive or in a gloss.

If you have loose cosmetic glitter, I don’t recommend putting glue on your eyelids—rather use a concealer or an adhesive medium.

Eye primer or eyeshadow base

Want a longer-lasting eyeshadow? Use an eye primer. It is cream or silicone-based, and most primers are sheer/skin tone/colorless. Eye primer can be used with any eyeshadow.

However, if you want a more vibrant shadow color, use an eyeshadow base. It is cream based, and you can find strong colored or sheer/skin tone/colorless bases.

If you choose a strong colored one, it’s like an eyeshadow, so you won’t need to apply a regular shadow.

People tend to say that primer and an eyeshadow base do the same thing, but sometimes they don’t. The main role of an eyeshadow base is to intensify the shadow color and to set the eyeshadow in place.

In contrast, the main role of an eye primer is to make the shadow last longer and not crease or fade.

If you don’t have an eyeshadow base, use a white matte eyeshadow to achieve a more vibrant color or a concealer to set the shadow in place.

If you don’t have an eye primer, apply a cream eyeshadow under a powder eyeshadow.

Eyeliner

liquid eyeliner mac

Eyeliner is another makeup product to make your eyes pop. You can find eyeliners in different colors, but be sure to have a black and a white or nude color at all times.

The pencil doesn’t last long unless you buy a waterproof pencil eyeliner. Choose from a retractable, pencil, marker, liquid or gel eyeliner. Only use a pencil or retractable for the inside part of your eyes as you don’t want to cause an irritation.

Eyebrow kit

Eyebrow Kit

This kit is designed to make your life easier. You can also use a matte eyeshadow for your brows. The majority of kits go from light to medium and medium to dark.

If you decide to buy a kit, remember that having dark hair means choosing a kit that is one or two colors lighter than your hair color. If you have light hair, opt for a kit that is one or two colors darker than your hair color. You can also use a pomade for your brows.

Mascara

mac mascara

Mascara is used to emphasize your eyes as it gives the illusion that they’re bigger and more enchanting. Like eyeliners, you will find different colors, such as pink, yellow, blue or green, but the most commonly used is black.

You can also buy a brown mascara, which looks more natural. You will find mascara for short lashes, definition, lengthening, thickening, etc. I recommend the voluminous mascara and one that is not waterproof because they tend to be harder to remove.

Blush

blush

Blush adds color to your cheeks. It’s applied after your foundation to create a more natural look to the otherwise even and solid color of the foundation.

There are different types of blushes, such as cream, pressed or loose powder, tint, gel and pencil blush.

You also need to consider your skin color when choosing a blush. Rose is perfect for light skin tones, while peach, orange and coral is ideal for medium skin tones.

If you have a tanned or olive skin tone, choose a cherry rose or coral blush to complement your skin. For dark skin tones, orange, coral, copper, rose, fuchsia and red wine are best.

Aim for as natural a color as possible. Also, try pinching your cheeks to see what color appears.

And let’s not forget about bronzer. If you want that sun-kissed beach look, bronzer is your best friend! The product is made for different skin types and has different ingredients.

It comes in different formulas, such as pressed powder, serum, solid, spray, etc. If you don’t have a blush, and you have a dark skin tone, you can use a bronzer instead.

While bronzer is suitable for any skin tone, it should always be only one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone—anything more will look fake.

Fake lashes

fake lashes

You can choose full fake lashes or individual pieces of fake lashes. There are so many options that it’s impossible to include them all. Some are dramatic, natural, long, short or full volume.

If you want to use fake lashes, you will need a glue. The glue comes in clear or black. I recommend buying a clear glue. Two good brands are LashGrip and Duo. You can also buy self-adhesive eyelashes.

Foundation

too faced born this way foundation natural beige

Foundation is a skin colored makeup used to hide imperfections or an uneven skin tone. As you know, it can change your natural skin tone, which is why you need to choose the right shade.

When you go to the store, you need to know your skin type and undertones (cool, neutral, or warm). If you have blue or purple veins, then you have a cool undertone, while those with neutral undertones tend to have blue green veins.

People with warm undertones have green or olive veins. Match the foundation to your chest and neck area; in this way, you won’t have a whiter face. Remember: it is better to have a lighter rather than a darker shade, because you can use a bronzer to get the perfect match.

When it comes to foundation formulas, they’re available in liquid, cream and loose, pressed or mineral powder with light to full coverage. You can also buy foundations for different skin types and tones, as well as different finishes, sunscreen and other benefits such as moisturizers, anti-aging/mature components and long-lasting.

If you don’t want to use a foundation because you prefer a more natural look, or you want a lighter product or don’t need a lot of coverage, you can use a BB, CC or DD cream or a tinted moisturizer.

BB cream is a beauty balm that is similar to a tinted moisturizer, but better and heavier. It hydrates, evens out skin tone and treats the skin with antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients.

It also has sunscreen. CC cream is a color correcting cream, and is a lighter version of a BB cream or concealer. It addresses issues like redness or sallowness, discoloration, dark spots and acne scars.

Finally, DD cream is the dynamic do-all cream and a hybrid of BB and CC creams. It is perfect for people who want a lighter feel without sacrificing coverage.

A tinted moisturizer hydrates, evens skin tone and has a minimal coverage. Which color to use? Most BB creams are categorized by skin type rather than skin tone. If not, then be sure to match the cream or tinted moisturizer with your skin tone.

Powder

dior powder

I don’t like how powder emphasizes wrinkles, but the powder is needed to set the finished makeup and helps to avoid having a greasy face throughout the day.

When you choose a powder, be sure to match it to your skin tone, and apply the same principles as choosing a foundation. You can also buy a translucent powder, which matches all skin tones, but be sure to blend it well.

When it comes to types of powder, you will have to choose between loose and pressed. If you like a more natural look, use a mineral powder.

Concealer

naked concealer

No one likes dark circles under their eyes. This is why we need to use a concealer. Concealer not only helps you to hide dark under eye circles, but also covers redness, discoloration, dark spots and acne scars.

It needs to be one or two shades lighter than your foundation or your skin tone.

There are neutral, white-, yellow-, orange-, green-, purple- and pink- or peach-based concealers. The color that you need depends on which color you want to hide.

If you want to hide a blue color, choose an orange-based concealer. To hide a red color, use a green concealer. Then, use a concealer that matches your skin tone to cover the colored ones. Hint: see a color wheel. If you don’t have a green concealer, use one that matches your skin tone.

Face primer

face primers

A face primer helps your skin to absorb makeup better, prepares your face, minimizes your pores and makes your makeup last longer. If you decide to buy one, they are available as sprays, sticks, gels or creams.

After applying it, wait 5-10 minutes before using the next product. The color of the primer varies, but you should choose one that helps you with your skin condition or desired result.

For example: illuminating, perfecting, color correcting, or shine free. You will find green, nude, purple, blue, pink, or clear primers, but they are all colorless when you apply them.

Contour kit

Contour Kit

This ia another product that is not essential because you can use a powder, concealer or foundation that is two shades darker to do the contouring and a foundation, concealer or powder that is two shades lighter to do the highlighting.

However, you can use a cream contour kit for a more natural look and a powder contour kit for a more defined look. A contour kit has shades to do contouring and highlighting.

The contour is a makeup technique to minimize some areas of your face. It allows you to have a smaller nose and less protuberant cheeks without surgery and only using makeup.

In contrast, highlighting is when you emphasize certain areas of your face—areas that are hit by sunlight. If you don’t like the highlighter in your kit, you can buy a highlighter of your choice.

To select the right shade, keep your undertones in mind. If you have warm undertones, choose a gold base, while if you have cool undertones, choose a silver base.

Some formulas are balm, cream, gel, liquid, etc. You can also use a shimmering eyeshadow as a highlighter.

Lip gloss

kiss me lip gloss

Lip gloss is a lipstick, but with gloss. It gives the illusion of fuller lips. I love lip glosses, but they don’t last very long. You will find a lot of shades, but be sure to have a transparent and a transparent with glitter.

This way, you can mix it with your regular satin or matte lipstick. Voila! You have the glossy effect that you adore.

Lip liner

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Liner

Lip liners are used to line your lips. If you use them right, you can make your lips appear bigger or smaller. You can also use lipstick to line your lips.

If you decide to buy a liner though, buy a nude color that you can use it with any lipstick. To avoid ending up with outlined lips only when you eat or drink, apply the liner before your lipstick.

Lipstick

mac makeup lipstick

The much-loved product that doesn’t last as long as most women would like: lipstick. With so many colors to choose from, I recommend buying the colors that you cannot live without.

There are different types of lipstick to choose from: satin, lip stains, matte, long-lasting and glitter. Want to be the center of attention? You can also use loose cosmetic 3D glitter and a sticky lip gloss.

This is not good if you are going to drink or eat though as you will end up eating glitter. Also, remember not to press your lips together because you will ruin the look. To get rid of the glitter, use clear tape.

If you are looking for something that lasts all day, buy a lip stain or a long-lasting lipstick. However, you will need a makeup remover to remove it at the end of the day.

They also tend to dry out the lips, so if your lips are dry or tend to chap easily, it’s best to avoid these. Stains can also draw attention to chapped lips or wrinkles around the mouth.

If you decide to use one or both, use a lip balm to moisturize your lips first and a lip gloss to moisturize your lips after.

Lip balm

baby lips lip balm

Lip balm is made to heal chapped and dry lips. It is recommended to apply a lip balm before a lipstick. Three famous brands are Chapstick, Vaseline, and Burt’s Bees.

You can find a lot of lip balm flavors as blueberry, bubble gum, almond or butter pecan. You can also make your own natural lip balm.

Brushes

brushes set

Brushes are what you use to apply your makeup. Some people use their fingers. If you are applying makeup for other people though, use a brush. Similarly, if you want to blend some products, you will need a brush.

Some brush sets include 5, 10, 12 or 20 pieces or buy individual brushes. I prefer a 32-piece brush set, so I have all the necessary brushes and the other brushes to experiment with. Then, you can choose the brushes that work best for you.

What is your favorite product? I love lipsticks and eyeliners. Who doesn’t? They make your eyes pop and make your lips more attractive. Did I miss any products? Let us know below.

How to Apply Makeup for Beginners

On 15 March 2016 By TunessaIn Beauty1 Comment

Makeup may do magical things, but it doesn’t have to be a mystery. Applying a basic, natural look doesn’t require a lot of skill or tools. You can do lots of the blending with your fingertips, and choose to leave out certain products if they don’t appeal to you. So have no fear: enjoy the process and your fresh, glowing face!

Laying the Groundwork

1

Start with clean skin. Wash with a gentle cleanser or simply use a toner to wipe away any impurities from your skin.
2
Apply a light moisturizer. This will keep your skin from getting too oily during the day, and will help moisturize any dry patches on your skin.
- Wait five minutes before putting on foundation (see the next step) so that the moisturizer can sink in.^[1]
3
Dab on a tinted moisturizer or a light foundation to your skin. Apply just a few spots with your fingers to your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then blend with fingers or a foundation brush, working the spots outwards from the center in all directions.
- If you want more coverage, you can use a makeup sponge to apply, using the same blending technique.
4
Put a little concealer under the eyes. Use a small pointed brush to dot a bit where under-eye circles are darkest, usually at the inner and outer corners of the eye. Add a speck to other blemishes that aren’t covered by the foundation and blend into the skin.
- There’s a little controversy about whether a concealer should be the same shade as your skin or ever-so-slightly lighter; however, it should never be lighter than one shade away from your natural tone. Look for something as close as you can find to your skin tone and err on the lighter side if need be.^[2]^[3]
5

Set the concealer and moisturizer with a translucent powder. Apply it to your face, ideally using a velvet-y powder puff (as opposed to a powder brush, as that leaves a lot of loose powder) in a pressing motion. Use a powder brush to flick off any excess. If you are using a powder brush to apply, tap off the excess powder before applying to your face in circular motions. ^[4]

Part2

Putting on Your Eyes

1
Apply an eyeshadow of your choice to your eyelid. For beginners, try a single neutral shade like taupe or aubergine. Use a rounded shadow brush or your finger and make quick, short swipes across the lid, working your way up to the brow bone.^[5]
- The shadow should go from your lash line to just beyond the inner crease. From there it fades upward toward the bone.
- Set with a thin dusting of translucent powder.^[6]
- If you’re using a brush, tap it lightly on the side of the eyeshadow case to remove any excess.^[7]
2
Apply eyeliner. Use a black or brown pencil and apply along the rim of your upper lash line in short strokes.
- Lift your upper lid with one hand and look down into a mirror as you apply with your other hand.^[8]
- Eyeliner is one of the areas that you can really experiment with as you become more confident applying makeup. Factors like color, texture, and line application can have a big impact on the appearance of your peepers. Play around!
3

Curl your lashes. Place a lash curler at the base of your upper eyelashes (along the lid) and press for five seconds.
4

After this, apply mascara. Apply to the upper and lower lashes with the tip of the wand oriented towards the outer corner of your eye. One coat should suffice for this look.

Part3

Adding Cheek and Lip Color

1
Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. Smile as you do this so you can clearly see where the apples are. Dab on the blush and blend upwards towards your temples.
- Try a cream blush for a natural glow that’s easy to blend in.^[9]
- If you opt for powder blush, use a brush that’s fluffy yet dense. Dust translucent powder over it to blend the edges.^[10]
2
Apply lipstick or lip gloss. Pucker your lips like you’re about to plant a kiss and dab the lip color to the center of your upper and lower lip. This first application can be straight from the tube; then, use your fingers to blend outwards, adding color with your fingertips as needed.
- If your lips are chapped, prep them before putting on lip color. Gently buff them with a warm, damp washcloth and put on a light layer of lip balm. Let the balm absorb before moving on to lipstick or gloss.^[11]
- For beginners, the lips are a great opportunity to add color and vary your makeup regime without having to fuss over application technique, etc. You can work with anything from neutral, barely-there gloss to creamy, fire-engine red.

Check yourself in bright light – daylight if possible – to make sure everything is blended and beautiful. You’re done!

How to Compliment Blue Eyes

On 12 February 2016 By TunessaIn Beauty1 Comment

It’s very long, but worth reading, if you have other ideas, please tell us below on the comment box.

If you have blue eyes, play them up! They are a great feature and, with a little help, they can be your best feature.

Blue eyes are somewhat of a rarity in the world. If you have them, you might as well flaunt them! Once you learn how to complement them with the right colors, you will wonder why you ever wasted your time with black eyeliner.

Eye shadow

Eye Shadow

Warm colors are amazing with light eyes. Try out terracotta and gold shades. If you know a bit about art, you know that orange falls exactly opposite of blue. Shades of orange will create a dramatic look and stand in stark contrast to the blue of your eyes.

If you want something vibrant, try purple. Blue and greens can make your eyes look a bit dull. It is often said that women with blue eyes should avoid blue makeup but that isn’t entirely true. If you love the look of bold blue shade, use it!

The most important thing is to find a contrasting color. You don’t want your makeup to be the same exact color as your eyes. If you have dark blue eyes, try sky blue or periwinkle. If you have very light eyes, try navy or royal blue hues.

If you like the smoky eye look, try it with brown rather than black. Black can look a bit harsh next to blue and it might take the attention away from your actual eyes. Work with chocolate and gold to create a truly striking look.

For a daytime version of the smoky eye, just sweep on some metallic bronze shadow. Follow it with a slightly darker shade of eyeliner. For a more neutral day look, try rose and lavender. They accentuate the blue and also work great when combined with a tan or coffee shade.

One of the best things you can do is get an eye shadow palette with multiple colors. Here are a few that you will want to look for: taupe, chocolate brown, lilac, violet, gold, silver, copper, gray, and rose. They will all look great next to your eyes so play around with different looks.

Eyeliner

To make your eyes look bigger, try a brightening pencil if you aren’t using one yet. White is usually the go-to color for the inner lower lash line but it isn’t the best choice for blue-eyed beauties. Experiment with some beige liner to get a more natural wide eyed look.

While a true blue eye liner will overwhelm your eyes, turquoise and sapphire shades of liner can create a great look.

For a more glam look, try a metallic liner. Gold and silver are both great next to blue and can play up the icy shade.

Here are a few colors that you will want to look for next time you go shopping for eyeliner: coffee, taupe, lavender, silver, gray, navy, and violet.

If you don’t want to invest in a lot of new eyeliner before you decide what you like, turn your eye shadow into eyeliner. It’s simple and there are a lot of ways to do it. You can buy an eyeliner sealer at most cosmetics stores or online. Take an eyeliner brush and dab it in your eye shadow. Put some eyeliner sealer on your hand or a small plate then gently swirl your brush into it. It is easy way to make your eye makeup do double duty.

If you don’t have eyeliner sealer, you can also try water or petroleum jelly. If you are using water, simply wet your eyeliner brush they run it over your eye shadow. For more staying power, take your dry eyeliner brush and dab just a little bit of petroleum jelly on it. Once you have the brush lightly coated, run it through your eye shadow.

Mascara

Navy mascara can be a great choice for women with blue eyes. Black can look a bit harsh but you can still pull it off with a smoky eyed night look.

If your skin and hair are also light, you should use stick with medium or dark brown for a simple daytime look. Plum, burgundy, and navy are also great if you want to mix it up a bit.

The rest of your face

Typically you will want to just play up one feature. If you have blue eyes and light hair, you might want to focus on your eyes. Women with blonde or light brown hair typically have to contend with thin lashes and somewhat sparse brows. If you like to layer on the mascara and amp up your brows, focus on these areas.

If you are trying to draw attention to your eyes, just keep your lips and cheeks simple. Go completely bare or work with subtle colors. Peach or light pink shades are great choices for lipstick and blush. You don’t want your eyes competing with your lips so bring all of the attention to eyes with shadow, liner, and mascara.

Go bare

If you want a minimal look for the hot summer days, work with different shades of brown. A bronzer on your face will really make your eyes pop. If you are naturally pale, keep it simple. Choose a color two shades darker than your natural skin tone.

Before you start bronzing, you need a good base. Choose a foundation that is one shade darker than what you normally wear. Be sure to blend it well at your necks and temples so it looks natural.

To apply bronzer, use a good brush. You can use a big blush brush but keep a dedicated bronzer brush. You don’t want to have any leftover blush mixing in with your bronzer.

Once you have primed your face with a foundation, use your brush to basically sweep on the shape of the number three on both sides of your face. Start at your forehead to create the top of the three. Lightly dust your temples and the sides of your cheeks then move in again to sweep along your cheekbone.

Lightly dust the sides of your face again, moving downward, then sweep the bronzer along your neckline. The idea is to put bronzer where the sun would naturally hit, like your forehead and cheekbones.

Making your wardrobe work for you

If you want your eyes to really stand out, keep your outfit simple. No matter what color your eyes are, they will have to compete for attention if you wear dramatic patterns or bold colors.

Classic colors like black, white, and navy are great for blue eyes. A pop of color like deep purple or gold will work as the perfect complement to your eyes. The same rules for eye makeup apply for clothing. Shades of brown will look amazing with your eye as will orange hues.

Creating a frame

If you want your eyes to look amazing, don’t neglect your brows! If your eyebrows are overwhelming your face or just look really unkempt, it is going to be a distraction. There is no special technique that suits blue eyes more than brown or green when it comes to brows so just work with your face shape and hair color.

If your hair is light, use a brow pencil that is one shade darker than your natural hair color. If your hair is dark, go for one shade lighter than your locks.

You don’t want all of the focus going on your brows, you are just trying to create a great frame for your eyes. Be sure you don’t neglect any stray hairs that can make your eye makeup look drab.

The natural way

One of the simplest things that you can do is wear your hair up. When your hair is up, all of the attention is on your face. If you spent a long time on your makeup, why not show it off? Don’t make your hair compete with your face.

No amount of makeup is going to make your eyes look good if they are bloodshot or puffy. Of course you know that you should get a good amount of sleep every night but sometimes that just not possible. You can reduce puffiness with some good old-fashion tricks at home.

Put cucumber slices or tea bags into a bowl of ice for a few minutes to cool them. Afterward, place them on your eyes for about ten minutes. They both work well so just use whatever you have in the kitchen.

If your kitchen is a bit empty, you can also use a frozen bag of peas on your eyes for a few minutes. Ice works well in general but peas are perfect because they are small enough to settle into cervices around your eyes.

If you are short on time, just use some over-the-counter eye drops. It is a quick step that will make a huge difference.
