Trend 1: Orange Lips
Orange is the new red, and it is a hue that suits every complexion. It is vibrant, playful; I find it is perfect for the warmer months. After all, orange is a statement all on its own, therefore you really don’t need to pair it with anything. If you, however, insist on pairing the glamorous orange lips with something then neutrals are the way to go, neutrals, for example, brown, taupe, beige, otherwise eye liner and mascara will do the trick. If you are looking for a softer pout then you will want to opt to go with peachy and sheer hues. Keep in mind, matte bright shades do read as bold, so why not go bold? (See Stacey’s Tip below to learn how you can have silky, soft or simply kissable lips)

  
Trend 2: White Nails? Why, not?
White nails, hues ranging from opalescent to true white are so crisp, modern, cool, and flatters every skin tone. Which shade of white are you into? Are you the type to be trendy and eye-catching? Then you will want to select true white. If you are more into chic and understated type, then opt for a pinky-white tint. Haven’t you noticed that opaque whites have a tendency to streak easily, as well as take longer to dry? Well, that is because it does. Begin with a creamy base coat, followed by a top coat that is a quick-dry top coat.

Trend 3: Into the Blue
From seafoam, teal, cobalt, to aquatic shadows and liner, which ever tint of blue it may be, it is such a flirty, fun colour. Might I add, it flatters every eye colour, as in those peepers will stand out. It is the most simplest to incorporate colour into your wardrobe or to have that pop of colour. If you should go with teal, then teal looks best as a liner applied on the bottom lash line.

 
Trend 4: Get Glowing
Below are two options of how you can attain a glowing complexion, 

  

1.      Luminizer
Luminnizer is the last step to complete your makeup look. Apply the luminizer in the same places as you would with a highlighter; cheekbones, centre of the forehead, chin, and centre of the nose. If you have limited time in the morning, don't worry, here is a 2-in-1 step. All it takes is a little mixology. Incorporate 2-3 pumps of luminizer into your liquid foundation. Mix it together in a jar/bowl or the back of your hand. Next, apply your foundation all over your face. Once foundation has been applied, it is followed by concealer and powder to set your makeup. 

  

2.     White Eye Shadow & Vaseline
This technique requires a bit more mixology then the previous option. On the back of your hand, mix white eye shadow and Vaseline together. The reason I say mix these two together on the back of your hand is so the Vasaline warms up, this way it will be much easier to apply. Once it has been mixed, and has been warmed up, smear it on the areas as you normally would with a highlighter; cheekbones, centre of the forehead, chin, and centre of the nose.




Stacey’s Tip: To attain, silky, soft lips, make sure you exfoliate your lips. You can use white sugar and honey to exfoliate or, as to what I prefer is brown sugar. Brown sugar alone is gentle enough for you to exfoliate every day if you wanted to, and tough enough to remove the dead skin from your lips. It is not just an exfoliator, it is also a moisturizer. For extra hydration, mix a couple of drops of honey into the brown sugar. With a clean tooth brush, scrub back and forth on your lips. Once completed, remove the sugar. Wait a minute, and then apply your lipstick.

do you feel fabulous today?
