Look traditional as well!

It's not only shopping and considering what are you wearing on a special occasion, it is also about how are you transforming your look with a perfect make up. Here are some tips that you can look into if you are going for a contemporary make up style;

The first thing that you should do when trying to update your look is to gather what you have and determine whether or not is still necessary or in good enough shape to keep. Then, visit some makeup blogs and YouTube to see what the "ladies in the know" are experimenting and reviewing right now. For instance, you may find on many social networking sites, that many ladies are only lining the bottom lid for very specific looks or with an eyeshadow in a complimentary color rather than a traditional black pencil. This is right on trend and a very easy way to use what you already have in your makeup kit to update your look.

Highlighting and contouring the face is another fantastic trend that you can use to bring light to the eye and cheekbone for a fresh, young look. For the eye, remember to keep a pearly, iridescent shadow around for the inner corner of the eye (feel free to sweep a little under the inner third of the bottom lid as well), and the area just under the arch of the brow. For the face, lighter skin tones will want to go with either a bronzer or a pearly, iridescent highlight. Darker tones can also use a shimmery (not glittery) bronzer or a more gold or bronze toned highlight product. Apply the product lightly at the top of the cheekbone area, then apply a natural pink or peachy toned blush to the mid to lower cheekbone and sweep upward. make surethat the product is well blended so that neither sticks out too much from the other. If using a bronzer to contour, you can definitely use the classic matter bronzer in the shape of a "3" from the middle of the forehead down to the hollow of your cheek and down to the chin. Change your foundation! Foundation is so scientifically advanced these days that its unbelievable. There are myriads of foundations that are great for the skin, providing anti-aging benefits, and are even fortified with minerals and botanicals. There is no longer any excuse for walking around with the wrong foundation for your skin type. Foundations exist to meet every need imaginable from dry skin to oily, from mature skin to youthful, from the light wearer to the person that reapplies several times a day. Don't be so overly concerned about remaining loyal to a brand that you won't try anything else. Unless you have insanely sensitive skin, it won't do your skin any harm to get a few samples and try something that you may like better.

Here are some other quick tips that you can try to spice things up a bit if you're feeling bored:

-Try a different color eyeliner. Violets and plums have been on trend for a few seasons and this will continue into the Fall. Great for brown eyes and darker skin tones that feel like they are stuck in a black liner rut.

-Skip the lip liner. Precisely lined lips have their place, but maybe not for an everyday look. the pouty, natural lip is in and lightly stained lips have been all over the place right now. If you feel too bare, then add a sheer pink gloss to the lip stain you've chosen and I think you'll really like the result. Definitely just say no to the dark brown and black lip liner trick from the 80's.
