Festive Make-Up Tips

With the party season just around the corner. We have compiled some easy to follow ‘Makeup tips’ to help you look your best.

•SKIN: Heavy is out. Avoid powder based foundations as these remove your youthful glow and will only make you look older. Go back to basics and opt for a natural look this season. Clean flawless skin is the way forward. There are some great light reflecting foundations or tinted moisturisers out there which will enhance your skin colour and give you a natural glow. With Nutri-Style's Adónia range you can choose between a Waterbased Liquid Foundation or a Matte Oil-free foundation, both with a natural finish that will leave your skin looking flawless.

•EYES: You can really experiment with strong smokey and dramatic eyes this season. Depending on your Colour Season you can choose, between intense deep colours in shimmery emerald greens, turquoise, dark purpley plum colours - or coppery chocolate browns or muted greys and blues - colours you can put on your eyelids as well as underneath; smudge and soften at the edges. Add lashings of mascara and get ready to party! For deep set eyes remember to keep sparkly eyeshadow to a minimum as it will make the rest of your eye recede even further. Pencil liners can be used to enhance your looks for both day and night. Remember to cover the eye pencil with a little eyeshadow or powder to make it last!

•CHEEKS: If you are younger with a great peaches and cream complexion, go for an apricot powder blush. Make apples of you cheeks (by grinning inanely!) and apply with a blusher brush. For a more mature complexion, where cracks are beginning to show, cream blusher looks more natural.

•LIPS: For lips go for nude and glossy, but not glittery. You can apply gloss over colour or try a tinted lip balm to protect your lips and give you a subtle colour at the same time. Start with lip pencil. Choose one that matches your lipstick colour (never use a darker one) and hold it at an angle for softer application. Apply it from the outer corner of you upper lip to its centre. Repeat this on the other side and on your bottom lip. Fill them in with light, feathery strokes using the side of the pencil’s point rather than the actual tip; brush lipstick on top. Blot with tissue.
