Hey peeps, we would like to welcome Sass Ashe, guest blogger, as she debuts for a holiday posting gig here on LA-Story.com
As the holiday season rolls around, you may find that (even if you’re not a makeup kind of girl) some of your events and ensembles will call for a bit of extra dazzle. You don’t have to go crazy with the makeup to create a beautiful look that is almost natural but with a bit of punch.
For some women getting ready to ” go out” includes everything from false lashes to 5 layers of stuff on their faces. You don’t have to do all of that to look amazing.
The first step is deciding which part of your face to accentuate. Whether it’s your glowing smooth skin, your fabulous eyes or your kissable lips all you have to do is pick one.
Eyes
Glamorous eyes can be created by using a very small amount of makeup. All you need is mascara to lengthen and darken your lashes, eyeliner to accentuate the shape of your eye and just a dab of eye shadow to bring out the color. If you want to go for more dazzle glittery mascara or eye shadow and colored eyeliner in a contrasting shade will do the trick. You don’t have to look like Cleopatra to draw attention to your eyes.
Skin
To show off your porcelain skin simply cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize before applying a subtle blush to your cheekbones. The less foundation and other skin covering makeup you use the better for everyone to see your natural healthy glow. We’ve all seen those women who have so much foundation and cover up on that their face looks like it will crack when they smile, you don’t want to do that. Let the beauty of your skin shine through.
Lips
If your lips are your favorite feature all you’ll need is a bit of lip liner and a colored gloss. Choose holiday colors that complement your skin tone. Keep in mind that cherry red isn’t a universal lip color. Gwen Stefani may get away with it but most of us mere mortals need to scale it back a bit.
Even for everyday girls, there are great makeup collections that will help accentuate and provide a bit of dazzle for the holidays without overwhelming or making you feel like a tart.
