Never seen without make-up

Many ladies won’t even dare to leave the house without a full face on.  Some even believe it to be their armour.  Armour that allows us to conquer our daily tasks, whether this is a gruelling meeting or a bargaining deal with company contacts is what most woman associate make-up to.

Many women however wear it as they believe this is what their husbands, boyfriends and acquaintances expect and like.  This however isn’t the case and some men in fact prefer us natural.  Heaven forbid they ever tell us this however!

So why not be brave and let your guy see the real you?  If you are comfortable with the man you love, they will love you no matter what you wear.

Ladies it is time to bring on the make-under.  Undress those lashes, remove that pout and wash off that extra layer of foundation.  Wear what you were born with instead and if you quite simply feel you just can’t live without make-up!  Use it to enhance your existing features, rather than hide them completely.

Natural beauty is so much more attractive than fake and if you have it, you should flaunt it.  This by no means should mean remove every last scrap of make-up, simply keep it to a minimum.

This will not only save you a bomb on products, it will also save you a lot of time in the morning!  Save those fake lashes and that statement lip shade for the evening and work the natural ‘girl next door’ look during the day!

Use a highlighter to enhance your cheekbones and a tinted moisturiser in order to create a flawless and healthy glow.  Add a single coat of mascara in a lighter shade and a hint of coloured lip balm.  This will in turn allow you to create a subtle yet pretty daytime look.

Smoulder

What is it that makes a woman so sexy?  It isn’t a low cut-revealing top, a skirt that shows your stocking tops, it is in fact none of the above and you can look quite innocent in order to appear sexy to the opposite sex.

 

Yet there is something quite alluring about a woman.  Here are some of the make up items that can create a femme fatelle look.  Paula Dorf cheek colour in Ecstacy gives you a blush that radiates health while enhancing your cheekbones.

 

On applying Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill mascara, one sweep of those long lashes will seduce any man in sight.  Make your lips tempting with Duwop Venom in Twilight adding a bit of glimmer on your cupids bow for a steamy pout.  Then sweep your hair up, there is certainly something irresistible about the nape of a woman’s neck.

 

Don’t forget your fingertips, paint on Chanel Le Vernis in Vamp; this intriguing shade looks incredible as you raise your glass.

 

Of course a seductress doesn’t put everything on show so your perfume needs to leave a subtle lasting effect, Estee Lauder Sensuous eau de perfume will create this effect.

 

Who knows what the evening will bring so place the herbal blend of Kiki de Montparnasse into your handbag.  You should place all these beauty products into Nancy Gonzalez crocodile makeup bag at $600.  It may be pricey but it is certainly an investment and its’ a luxury you will always love.

 

The above article allows those that wish to work their womanly looks with an insight on how to enhance them even further.  There is however one point to note.  Less is always more and having a little too much on show will only achieve a negative effect, rather than a daring and sultry one!

Sleek and simple

If you are the kind of girl that likes to keep her look sophisticated, why not opt for this season’s sleek and simple trend.  It is a trend best suited to those that ooze that effortless glamour and also those that quite simply like to get up and go!

One very sleek and simple trend of this season comes in the shape of the all-new arm candy.  The latest lust-have is in fact extremely subtle, label-free and classic.  All of these definitions make it an investment piece, rather than a one-off trend piece.

The new trend has been given the label the ‘hush bag’ and even though it showcases no label, it still stands out as a centrepiece!  Just because there is no statement label or design as a key feature on this bag that doesn’t mean you can’t make it noticeable.

Some celebs have chosen to opt for an over statement size, whilst others have gone for a brighter hue.  Both these aspects make this bag stand out in a sophisticated fashion, which is great news for those that wish to invest in a timeless piece as appose to something that screams label lover.

Without the label, the bag concentrates more on the fabric and cut and therefore offers something that looks extremely expensive.

The best bit, without a label, the simple and sophisticated styling will have everyone guessing where you got it!

Bowlers, shoppers and totes are the best way to nail the classic and minimal shape of this season.  The bright and bold colour of these bags also means they go with anything and everything.  They stand out as a statement; they therefore don’t have to be matched to what you are wearing alone!

Beauty steals for the new season

A new season means a change in the weather, changes in the trends and a whole hoard of new purchases to be made!

The winter season makes us think a little differently about the beauty essentials we live by, for example beauty buys such as St Tropez, winter styled scents, caring facial moisturisers and hair care must-haves for the colder months.

With winter comes no sun, a chill in the air and a whole load of beauty dilemmas.  These include the likes of dry skin, frizzy unruly dry locks, a red nose and blemishes we just don’t want!

Skin is also extremely pale due to the lack of rays and a night out may require the help of a little tanning creme in the shape of a spray or lotion.  This will give that much needed glow, making you ,look like you have just returned from jet setting across the globe, for a fraction of the price of course!
