The fashion runways have displayed metallic colors, shimmer, gloss, and light reflecting colors. But the focus is darker and smudged.  Greys, taupe, greens, browns, and berry but with an added edge. Lots of shimmer and glimmer in them. I’ve noticed the smokey eye is back by popular demand. Seen it in all the magazines, runway, and I’ve been getting a greater demand for it from my clients. What I’ve done differently with the smokey eye is added shimmer to it, or sometimes glitter powder.

This gives it a more modern look, and brightens the eye a tad.

Lips should be kept shimmery, sheer, and/or glossy, with added berry tones, pink tones, or neutral tones.

Base: Prep the eyes with an oil free foundation and loose powder.

Brow bone: Highlight brow bone by sweeping a matte off white eye shadow just underneath eyebrows starting from arch of brow going outwards to where brow ends.

Crease: Starting just above inner crease, sweep a matte medium neutral brown shadow across upper crease and right into crease going towards outer crease. Blend this shade very well so no hard edges can be seen. This shadow should align with the tip of your outer brow.

Mobile lid: Apply a matte lavender or light gray shade and sweep it across entire mobile lid, and blend it up into crease.

What’s your fancy? Shimmery, Glossy, Natural, Bold, and/or Bright? The choice is yours, Millennium Diva. Almost anything goes in the lip department in 2000. The key is to keep it hip and happening. If it looks good, baby IT certainly is!

What’s Up with Oranges and Peaches?
Orange, Corals, and Peaches are hitting the lippy world in a big way. Many of us wouldn’t have dared to wear an orange or even a coral lipstick less than a year ago, but oh my how things have changed.  What makes today’s orange, peach, and coral lipsticks so different? Keeping them sheer with slight shimmer is a go, a full on glossy peachy pout will have them going ga-ga, or going for a bold full on orange juice pout can make many heads turn.
