5 Classic Makeup Looks

         

          Trendy makeup comes and goes, but there a re a few looks that stand the test of time-and for a good reason. Here's how to recreate them with ease.

       

          All Natural. Stick to a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer and dot concealer only where needed (on under eye circles and res spots). Than brush a very small amount of soft rose blush onto the apples of your cheeks going upward. A single coat of black or brown mascara adds definition and shine. Skip the eye shadow or try a sheer metallic bronze. For the lips a clear gloss or sheer lipstick. This look is also great for beginners because it is easy and doesn't cake on makeup. Rather it accentuates her beauty.
   

         Rock and Roll. Smooth black or gunmetal cream eye shadow over the lids. Than rim the upper and lower lashes with a thick line black liquid eyeliner. Smudge it slightly with a Q-tip. Dust over the eyeliner with matching eyeshadow. When lining the upper and lower lashes get the tip of the pencil or brush as close to them as possible. Dot concealer over any blemishes than stick a little clear or tinted lip balm on the lips. To much makeup on the rest of the face looks like you are trying to hard. This look is suitable for a concert or night on the town but not as much as an everyday work.

  Bronzed Skin. Pick a bronzer with a satin like sheen, not obvious glitter. Make sure you get a bronzer that is only one-half shade darker than your own, because you want this look to seen natural and not bronzer overload on just your face. Lightly dust it where the sun his across the face-on the nose, across the forehead, and high on the cheek bones. To make the skin glow, apply peach blush around the outer corners of your eyes, around the nose, and on the Cupid's bow of the mouth. Downplay shine on the rest of the face with translucent shades on he eyes and lips such as a copper cream eye shadow and tinted lip balm. This look is for experts only, it is super hard to get the colors to match up together and look good. 

           Red Lips. Choose a moist, satin finished lipstick. If your skin in fair, go for one with blue undertones and those with olive or dark skin can try one with more brown orange undertones. First, fat on color with your finger to avoid harsh lines. Limit your other makeup. Keep skin looking natural with tinted moisturizer and concealer. than apply a light dose of rosy blush, natural brown or beige eyeshadow and two coats of mascara on the upper lashes only. The lips are the vocal point of the face in this makeup look, so it is best not to distract from it. This look should be saved for special occasions like a business party, a funeral or a wedding.




          Cat Eyes. Line you upper lid with a creamy black pencil. When you reach the outer corners of the eyes, fatten the line and angle it away from the lashes. Smudge it ever so slightly with a cotton swab. Soft rose or peach blush should be applied to the apples of the cheeks, going outwards. Than a dusting of a loose translucent powder makes the face seem finished. Rose or peach lipstick is just as appropriate as a thick burgundy or beige these days and I personally like it better with this look.
