A New Year is upon us. Are you thinking about changing your "look"?
If you are like me, a change in makeup is exciting, but I don't want to waste money on products that are not right for me. Being a certain age- be it 30, 40, 50, or beyond doesn't mean you have to overdo or undo your makeup either. Regardless of your age, you need to find a makeup style that makes YOU look and feel beautiful. This means finding colors that enhance your appearance and yes, practicing blending techniques that make it all look natural and smooth instead of contrived and painted on.
Color, style, and fashion are all essential elements in clothing, and they are also essential to putting together a great makeup look. The way you see yourself, the way you want to be seen, what you do for a living, what you do in your leisure time, what colors are in your wardrobe, what style of clothing are you comfortable in and how much time you are willing to spend creating a particular "look" all affect the way you will choose and wear makeup.
Frequently, a salesperson at the cosmetics counter will insist that you need an absurd number of products to be properly and attractively made up, but more products and more complicated does not necessarily mean better.
A good place to start is with a "Classic Face" make up that includes the following: concealer, foundation, powder, contour (optional), blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, eyebrow color (if needed), mascara, lip liner (optional), and lipstick.
In my next blog, I'll be going through each of these products and how and why they are used.
