Apricot makeup

This summer, I have fallen in love with peachy/apricot makeup shades. I recently purchased "peach lights" by Aveda, and have to say that it is my new favourite blush shade. It really warms up my skin tone, without being "too much". My favourite look right now is:  my liquid liner for the eyes...... peach blush, and a nude lip. The look just feels very fresh. See for yourself.....

I really want to try this apricot body lotion. It seems like it would smell

amazing!

Fall Make-up Must Haves!!!!! 2009

Fall is here ladies, and we might as well embrace it!
Time to go through your make-up bages and get rid of any old/crusty make-up, (I know it's in there), wash your make-up brushes (should be done at least once a month) and switch from "summer mode" make-up, into fresh fall colours.
So the must have for fall 2009 are:

                                                                   LINER

Heavy liner is in this season. Use a black kohl for a smudged out look....or liquid for a more defined wing-tip.

PEACH BLUSH
Great for a fresh-faced look , that's not too "done".  Aveda discontinued my favourite in "Peach Lights". Any suggestions on a new replacement...make-up lovers????                                                              

 SOFTER SMOKEY EYE

The makeup application is still dramatic and glamorous, but the colours are softer. Try colours, instead of shades of greys and blacks

RED LIPS

Make-up artist Dick Page, says that "the colour red instantly illuminates your complexion". He's right! Find a shade that works for your skintone. As a staple, every woman should have their own "killer red" lipstick handy and ready to go.
