Makeup trend: Sprancene groase si definite

Sprancenele groase, definite, texturate si naturale le vedem pe podiumurile de fashion sau la diferite vedete.
Sprancenele subtiri, pensate excesiv sunt de domeniul trecutului.

 Sursa fotografiei: ourvanity.com

Si, lasand la o parte orice trend:
-a avea sprancenele mai naturale si a NU le pensa excesiv este "mai sanatos";
-sprancenele subtiri pot maturiza foarte mult fizionomia fetei;
-odata cu pensatul excesiv, cu trecerea timpului risti sa ramai cu cateva firicele in loc de sprancene si sa le deteriorezi definitiv forma initiala;
-sprancenele incadreaza fizionomia, niste sprancene mai groase si mai definite accentueaza frumusetea ochilor.
-pentru a avea o imagine ingrijita e esential ca atunci cand ne machiem sa nu uitam de sprancene, fiind o trasatura de importanta majora.


Eu personal ador acest trend si consider ca mi se potrivesc sprancenele groase si definite.
In machiajul de mai jos, am ales evidentierea sprancenelor si buzelor.
La machiajul sprancenelor am ales preferatul Laura Mercier brow definer Warm, iar pentru buze ArtDeco High Performance Lipstick 435 Bright Orange (in realitate arata chiar bright orange).

Copper and Red Eye Makeup


For this look I was inspired using a drugstore brand palette from Seventeen Cosmetics. I have purchased this palette months ago but I never really used it.



I have used all the colours from the trio eyeshadow bellow, then for just a little more warm-up the eye makeup i have used Stila Eye Shadow Duo Pan - Terracotta and Bourjois Kohl&Contour in Brun Delicieux.
For the eyebrows I've used Laura Mercier Brow Definer in Warm.

Make-up trend fall/winter 2011-2012 inspired

I've came up with this look inspired from the fall/winter 2011-2012 make-up trends.
The basics of this look are the burnt orange smokey eye makeup and thick eyebrows.
The focal point of the makeup look are the eyes and the eyebrows, keeping the rest of the face simple and nude lips.





t


Eyebrows:
-Eyebrow definer [Laura Mercier Warm Brow definer] using a small angled brush to create the thick, unplucked eyebrow.
Eyes: 
-Eyeprimer [Revlon Vital Radiance Smoothing Eye Primer] applied with my fingers all over the eye area.
-Light warm brown eyeliner  [Bourjois Kohl&Contour in Brun Delicieux] applied 2/3 outter corner of the eye, upper and lower lashline quite a thick line, then smudged using the clean finger.
-Burnt orange eyeshadow [Orange Irisé Makeup Atelier Paris eyeshadow]  applied with a pencil brush on top of the smudged pencil and on the outter V of the eye, then using a medium blending brush blend the eyeshadow.
-Yellow eyeshadow [Jaune Citron Makeup Atelier Paris eyeshadow] used just a tiny bit on a fluffy blending brush to blend the edges of the orange eyeshadow.
-Red eyeshadow [Terracota eyeshadow Duo from Stila] using the same pencil brush on the  lower lashline and in the outter V ,blend the shadows.
-Light powder/eyeshadow [Stila Contour Trio light powder] to blend everything.
Lips: any nude lipgloss will do.
