Makeup For Christmas

I don't know about you but I would like to get nail polish in super fun colors and makeup for Christmas. Most people I know that are girls think that would be cool, too! So, there's a fun suggestion for you! Some good places to get this stuff for cheap (but also in good quality) are to go to target, kmart, and claire's.

Pictures

I will have pictures up probably tomorrow I went to hang out with some friends today and am too lazy to do it now... But, I will do it tomorrow :). TIP: When you're taking pictures a light behind you will make your face look darker, a light above may cast shadows depending on the other light in the room, and direct light on your face can make you look sweaty if you don't do it right!

This Christmas Season

Bright reds and greens will be popular, again as always for a fun way to do your makeup (take into consideration this is christmas-y FUN not everyday wear, this would be more for a party.) ......
1. Apply foundation if needed.
2. Put just a little bit of concealer under the eyes and rub it in till smooth to hide bags / wrinkles/ sleepy circles.
3. Use a peachy red blush - be sure to put it where it goes according to your face shape. (or you cold wing it like I sometimes do :p)
4. At the outer corners of the eyes add green, also along the edge of the eyelid closest to the eye.
5. Use just a little bit of red above that to cover the rest of the actual eyelid.
6. Put white ( you can use sparkly white, too) up until the eyebrow bone, this gives color, draws your eyes seemingly upward, and freshens the look while having a holiday spirit!
7. If you want go ahead with the eyeliner, too! Also, mascara adds the finishing touch!
Do be careful when using pinks and reds on your eyes because it can make you look like you have pink eye if you don't do it right!

Eyeliner Tips

Depending on the shape of your eyes and the color you may want to only apply to certian parts of your eye. As for tthe color of your eyes and hair you should not try to match the color of the eyeliner. I wouls reccomend black for warmer skin and hair tones and brown lighter tones. Black and brown aren't the only colors, though there are endless color choices for you to choose from. I reccomend the N.Y.C. brand from target, they're really affordable (yes, affordable coming from a 13 year old who doesn't get allowence or anything!) and they work really well, they also have a ton of different color choices.

Old Makeup

Makeup does get old after a while and you will need to throw it out and get new stuff. Mascara is one of the worst makeups you can use. When you apply it to your lashes it picks up the bacteria and when you put it back into the bottle it can grow. Yeah, I know, discusting, right ?! So, to help with this you should replace your mascara every 2 to 3 months. Other Makeup, however can last for around 6 months. Lipstick, eyeliner, and blush you can be safe with for about 2 to 3 years. Hope this helps! -Lizi
