BLACK FRIDAY MADNESS MAKEUP TIPS (Stay chic in shopping wars!)

Black Friday in less than 24 hours!!!!  Are you still working on your shopping lists?

Now here’s the question:  How to stay chic and confident in the shopping warzone?

Eyes over here, hands digging over there… crowded, sweat, eyes blinking at all the sales and a friend sees you and say “HI”!!

Now you must be thinking, is my makeup still in place?

Or, you may even be saying to yourself “Damn! How could I bump into someone when I have no makeup on!

So here are my quick and simple tips to stay chic even in a Black Friday madness(es?)

1.    Easy on the foundation.  It’s not a date or a girl’s nite out – we all know it’s Black Friday crazy madness.  Stay with a tinted moisturizer or a mineral powder foundation for a flawless yet light weight look.

             My pick?  Motives mineral pressed powder inIvory (US Link) 

2.    Easy on the eye shadow.  I would personally not have any eye shadow on on a day like this BUT if need be, stay with matte and neutral colours.

3.    A winged eye line.  A winged eye line gives us that lifted, chic and sexy look even without eye shadow.  

My pick?  Chanel automatic liquid eyeliner (US Link) or Motives Luxe Precision Eye Line (US Link) 

4.    A neutral and soft blush.

My tip?  Pick a shade that matches your lip colour!  This is the most natural shade of blush for you!

5.    Lip stick!  Stay away from lip gloss so your hair won’t be sticking onto your lips while you’re busy shopping! *wink*

              My pick?  Motives mineral lipstick inProdigy. (US Link) This colour compliments ANY skin tone! 

Last but not least, never ever forget to go out with setting your makeup with a makeup setting spray!

              My pick would be Motives 10 Years Younger (US Link) freezing makeup up to 10 hours!

Happy shopping everyone!

Buy more and stay SEXY!

Thank you!!!!!

GIRLS WITH GLASSES: MAKEUP TIPS FOR SPECS

No longer does the transformation from beast into beauty require removing our eyeglasses—yes, we can finally wear our specs shame-free, ladies! But, (there has to be a but) your glasses will bring attention to your eyes, so don’t be fooled into thinking you can hide behind them! Here are some tips for wearing your makeup and glasses in harmony.

First, you should apply eyeliner to make your eyes more defined—be careful not to overdo it though. Eyeliner is meant to help our eyes appear wider and our lashes fuller, so be aware when applying to not make your line too thick. I suggest trying out Motives® Luxe Precision Eye Line (USA Link) because it will go on with ease and without scratches or skips in lashes, plus it will last you all day and into the night—a must!

Next, apply your eye shadow (USA Link); the color depends on your mood and what you’re doing. If it’s just another day in your life, use neutral shadows or pale colors to match your outfit. If you are going for a more dramatic look due to a special occasion, then you can go bolder with your color choice, but keep in mind that your glasses will play up your eyes so try not to leave any stray smudges behind.

Don’t forget the mascara—the highlight of all the eye makeup for me. This is what really makes our eyes pop! Use at least two to three coats; go ahead and apply your second coats while the first is still drying. Right now I’m using Motives® Lustrafy High-Definition Mascara (USA Link)—it has rubber bristles so all your lashes are separated and lengthened. No more clumps for me!

Finally, please keep your eyebrows in mind. Your glasses don’t forget about them when they’re drawing attention to your face. Make sure you keep them well-groomed!

How many of you ladies out there still like to play dress up with your eyes, even when wearing glasses? What are your tips?
