I have been spying on some of the top designer fashion shows online and have found the top make up trends for summer 2009.
1) Bushy Brows
This is a trend that unfortunately not everyone can pull off. As I mentioned in my below Eyebrow Magic post if you are one of the lucky ones that naturally grows a bushy brow don’t try and over pluck them to make them thinner. Embrace the bushy brow and wear it with pride!
If you want to give the bushy brow a go you will have to try and go for the awkward eyebrow growing faze. Try and keep them as neat as possible while they are growing out.
You will be very tempted to pluck the strays but just let them grow. The only hairs you should pluck when you’re growing your eyebrows are the hairs in the middle.
Even when you are growing out your brows a monobrow is unacceptable.
2) Flawless Skin
I’m not sure that this is a trend that is just for summer, flawless skin is on trend all the time as far as I am concerned! This is very simple and you can achieve this with just a few easy steps.
1) Perfectly matched foundation
2) Perfectly matched concealer
3) Perfect technique
A few things to remember when you are applying and choosing your foundation colour.
Don't test the foundation colour on the back of your wrist! The only way you could get further away from your face is if you were testing the foundation on your foot! The place to test is either on your décolletage or jaw line. Also make sure that you check the colour under natural light before you make your purchase.The reason for this is in department stores and places like Priceline is the lighting is always that horrid harsh white light which is not only unflattering but also doesn’t give you anywhere near the right lighting to choose any kind of foundation correctly.
Creative colours, metallics and lush lips are all over the catwalk now. Don’t be afraid to play with a little colour. Don’t just leave your make up the same every day! They say change is as good as a holiday and what better time than the Christmas Holidays to change up your make up and colour it up!
If wearing colour freaks you out try just a hint of colour in your eye make up.
Don’t over load your brush and simply sweep it on top of what you would normally wear.
E.g. If your everyday make up is a brown, beige smoky eye with black mascara and cherry gloss. Pop into Priceline and pick up a nice lilac or purple and sweep it over the entire eyelid. This will not only change the brown but will also liven up a tired make up look.
Even I admit that (until recently) I have not been a fan of lipstick. I have always preferred the tinted gloss, lip stain or just plain no colour high shine lip gloss. I stumbled across the most wonderful nude lip colour from MAC and I swear I have been converted.
These days lipstick comes in so many colours there will surely be one out there for you! Be sure to test the colour against you're own skin tone and take a chance!
5) Sun cream
Sun cream is always trendy for every season.
To stay ahead of the trends and keep your skin happy and looking lovely, make sure to always wear sun cream or you will end up covered in skin cancers and looking like a leather bag!
Also you will prematurely age your skin and look old before your time..shudder…
