Makeup Trends for 2007

This year it’s all about super-glossy skin and not too �’done’’. There is a darkness to this season’s fashion and beauty, from blood-red lips to distressed black eyeliner.
Read what’s really hot this season:

Volume lashes

The volume lashes have always been fashionable and that’s the way it is and this season. The first thing you should do in order to achieve extreme volume is to curl the lashes. Sweep the mascara through your lashes, starting as close to the root of the lash as possible to create a dramatically full and even effect. Use a comb to remove clumps and separate lashes. It’s best to use waterproof mascara, it will stay longer and won’t fade.

Glossy lips

Choose a lip gloss in a shade that harmonizes nicely with the other colors. Concentrate the color on the centre of the lips to give the impression that you are very slightly flushed. Apply a high-shine lip-gloss with light-reflecting shimmer.

Blush

The blush is essential this season. It will complement both your skin tone and the foundation type. Applying blush in natural tones is the easiest way to get a healthy and beautiful look. Apply a light layer of blush to the apples of the cheeks and blend up back toward the hair line. Don’t apply too much blush otherwise it will look like a mask on your face.

Eye liner

Apply eye liner in a tone that complements the shadows you will be using. Pastels work on all eye colors, giving blues and greens a fairytale feeling and darker irises quirkiness. Remember to choose kohl that melts onto the skin. Smear the kohl along the upper lash line, as well as the lower lashes, blurring it further with a sponge applicator. Always curl your top lashes before applying the eyeliner on the lower lash line, or it will smudge.

Natural eyeshadows

Choose eyeshadows in a light, shimmering shade that makes your eyes sparkle. Apply the eyeshadows all over your eyes, beginning at the lash-line and working up just above the crease. Remember the light shades bring out the eyes and the darker shades give dimension to the eyes. The most fashionable color this year is the blue. Combined with eyeshadows of pink shade it will make you look like a doll. Mixing and matching neutral shades found in compacts is the key to achieve the best look.


Smoky eye

The smoky eyes are back again. Pair the smoky eye with neutral lips and soft cheeks. Start with the lightest shade, applying it all over the eyelid and working up to the brow. Apply the liner along the top and bottom lashes.

Natural eyebrows
The super thin eyebrows are out moded. The natural eyebrows that is medium to thick and that requires minimal hair removal will look best for this season. The natural shape of the brows is the perfect for you. Don’t change the shape of the eyebrows, unless you really have to.

For �’innocent’’ eyes look trace the entire circumference of your eye with a liner. Drag the corners down, as opposed to tilting up, to keep the look as doe-eyed as possible.
For �’sixties’’ eyes look keep the eyes elongated by applying mascara to top lashes only. Slice the liner along your lower lash line, as it works to pull the eye outwards. Leave the ends of the liner open as it creates the illusion of a bigger eye.
For �’girlish’’ eyes look always curl your top lashes before applying eyeliner on the lower lash line or it will smudge.
