This Seasons Make-up Trend

Michelle Allan



The look for winter 2010-11, as seen on catwalks this season, is the smoky copper eye. Beiges and crèmes are back with classic lines this winter and the make-ups not far off. Natural autumn colours such as gold and brown eye shadows combined with thin liquid liner and lip gloss create a fashionista face. But do not panic girls read on and you will see it’s easy to do.

First, make sure you have the right concealer and foundation. Full coverage gives you a blank canvas to work on making the finished product look flawless.

To start with the eye, apply a white eye shadow to the brow bone and the inner corner of the eye.

Next, brush a bronze colour from the inner corner of the eye, near the eyelashes, all the way up to meet the white eye shadow and continue to the outer corner of the eye.

Then add a dark brown to the eye socket, from the mid to outer corners of the eye, drag it out in to a peak and under the eye. Now blend it all together so there are no lines.

To finish the eye, use liquid eyeliner. The line should be applied just above the eyelashes, if you find it hard do small lines and join them up slowly. It does not have to be done in one swift movement. Lastly apply the mascara.

Now gently dab a liquid highlighter across the cheek bone from under the eye all the way out to the temples. Then brush a darker colour like a bronzer under the highlighter, if you suck in your cheeks it is easy to see where the area to apply it.

Lastly smear on some lip gloss and your ready to go.
