cross the fine line between appropriate makeup and going overboard
towards trashy. Check out the following party makeup ideas and tricks!
Bold Eyes Makeup
One of the ways to go when it comes to your holiday makeup is
accentuating the eyes. A basic rule of makeup says not to go bold
with your eyes as well as your lips so decide which of the two is
your best facial feature. If you consider your eyes to be the best,
choose tow or three tones which you will blend together to enhance
your eyes. The color you choose depends on your eye color and skin
tone and personal preference.
For brown eyes you can try purple tones, gold tones, gray tones.
For green eyes green tones work great, browns, copper. For blue
eyes you can go for purples, soft browns, peach, grays. Apply the
eyeshadow according to your eye shape but make sure not to go too
strong with the color if you are creating a daytime makeup.
Use eyeliner to define your eyes. You can apply the eyeliner near
your eyelashes and line with an eyeliner pencil your waterline as
well. If you have small eyes line only outside the lash line since
dark eyeliner applied on the waterline will have a diminishing
effect. Coat your lashes with mascara and your peepers will look
astonishing.
Bold Lips
Lips are considered to be very sensual and they can have a very
powerful attraction attached. Full sensual lips is the way to go if
you consider your lips to be your best facial feature.
Use a contour pencil to give the lips more fullness if you think
you need it. Contour just above your lip line and thus your lips
will appear fuller.
Apply a fire red, wine or pink colored lipstick pairing it with
soft shimmery eyes.

If you are not into bold colors and like to stay in the natural
zone have no fear because you will be trendy as well. Natural
makeup is very popular in 2010 so you'll look gorgeous.

complexion. Apply a little bit of black eyeliner along the lashline
and a white eyeliner on your waterline.
The with eyeliner will make your ayes appear bigger. Coat your
lashes with mascara and apply a little bit of tinted or clear lip
gloss.
