Makeup to go with Emerald Green for Christmas 2012 (perfect alternative to the little black dress)

Pantone, colour authority, has announced Emerald Green as the colour of year 2013!

I’m sure all the fashionistas out there just can’t wait to wear emerald, the colour of 2013!!

December is a month filled with celebrations, parties, gatherings etc… Let’s say bye-bye to the Little Black Dress and go with the trend, EMERALD!!!!!

Here are my tips for make-up when wearing emerald!   

#1 – The RED lip – Yes you are right!  Red lip goes perfectly well with emerald green.  Red lip is attractive and sexy!  When wearing emerald, stay away from red lip-gloss/lip-shine.  Just a simple red lipstick does the trick.

#2 – If you’re not daring enough to go for the bold RED lip, try a more subtle red lip look by applying a red lipstick with your finger instead!  This will help achieve a more “stain” look.

#3 – The CAT eye – Emerald is a very elegant colour.  Add an extra touch of sexy and elegance with the cat eye/winged eyeliner!

#4 – Skip the eye shadows (you got enough colours on you now).  If you need to use eye shadows, stay with matte and neutral colour!

#5 – Skip the blush and apply a matte bronzer right below your cheekbone!

Matching make-up with emerald is easier than you may think!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone J

The Everyday Glitter Eye Look for Christmas

Christmas month is here! A month filled with sparkly joy, warmth and happiness!

Add a touch of sparkly bling bling to your make up for this Christmas!!

What do I like about this month?

It’s sparkly happily bling bling that’s subtle enough for everyday wear!

There’s no need to wait for the Christmas day and there’s no need to wait for the Christmas party!

This look can be worn everyday!!!!!

 

AND HERE’S HOW! 

If you’re a fan of liquid eyeliner, then Motives GlitterEyeliner is your best-friend this holiday season!

STEP 1 (and this is the ONLY step):  Take the built-in brush out of the bottle and just line your eyes! 

If you’re a fan of gel eyeliner or any other types of eyeliner, then this is for you!

1.       Line your eyes with your usual black eyeliner.  I would recommend Motives Gel Eyeliner (US Link) as it is black/dark enough and stays on all day (and night!).

2.      With the same eyeliner brush or just any small brush, apply Glitter Adhesive (US Link) right on the eyeliner. 

Glitter Adhesive is absolutely safe for the eyes (it is made to be used with eye makeup), mess-free and EASY – the glue is clear, it does not feel sticky and it waits for you to put glitter on before it dries! 

3.      With the same eyeliner brush or any small brush, dab Motives Glitter Pot in Celebrate (pleaseattach link) right onto the adhesive/eyeliner. 

AND YOU ARE DONE!

Just a touch of glitter will completely open up the eyes and make you feel totally fashion-savvy!

Tip:  A wing-ed eyeliner or cat-eye look would be best to go with a glitter look! 

FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER ONLY, Facebook fans can get the combo of Motives Glitter Pot AND Motives Glitter Adhesive for just $25 tax included! (Regular value of $28.91 plus tax!)
