The Royal Wedding

The Guests:

Most unusual hats of all sizes embellished with feathers and flowers. The hats are mostly worn on the side of the head.

Fabric colours range from nudes, shades of greys to soft pastels and some woman are dressed in jewel colours. Lots of blue in all shades has been spotted.

Textures in satin, silks , taffeta and knits.

The hair looked very natural in soft waves or curls , swept to the one side or just hanging straight.

Make up was done very natural with nudes and soft pinks on lips. Soft smokey eyes was popular amongst some of the younger woman.

The Bride, Catherine Middleton:

Classic, Princes Grace style , intricate lace top over strapless, sweetheart bust line dress made of satin in cream and white. Deep pleats around waist, flowing softly onto floor. A 2 metre long train. Rounded at bottom to add softness is attached to the back waist into a folded peplum. Designed by Sarah Burton.

Her hair has a side parting and pinned back on both sides. The hair hangs loose at the back with soft waves.

Her lip colour is a natural, soft pink with a touch of gloss.The cheeks are contoured in pink blush. Her eyelids are shaded with a satin textured eye shadow in a natural shade to give a softly sheen. A darker eye shadow was lightly brushed into the crease, to define the eyes, but still keeping the look soft and natural. The eyes are lined with black eye pencil.

Great tip for longer wearing red lips:

Get the lip shape by lining the lips with a matte lip pencil. Make sure that the lip pencil is the same colour as your lipstick.
Fill in by colouring the lips with the same pencil.
Apply an even colour of a matte lipstick with a lip brush over the coloured lip. Matte lipstick always lasts longer than a cream lipstick and does not smudge as easily.
Finish off by applying a sheer layer of lip gloss, in the same colour as your lipstick. Concentrate more on applying the gloss on the fuller part of your bottom lip.
Avoid applying gloss to the edges of your lips.
Press lips together to spread the gloss.
With your fingertip, make sure that the product is well blended.

INGLOT MASCARA

Great mascara to use..... The comb applicator seperates the eyelashes while combing on colour and at the same time, lengthening. The advantage of the brush is that you can get colour close to the lashline, where as with other shaped brushes, the roots always stay without mascara. Another advantage is that when the mascara is finished, you can keep the brush and use it as a brow comb!

Denim Story

Denim has been around for years and is still the most favoured trends all around the world. Inglot Cosmetics SA has decided to put a make up story together and it's all about shades of blues. In the 50's, blue was applied on the lids. In the 70's, a wash of blue eyeshadow was applied on the whole eye area. In the 80's, shades of blue were used and blended well into each other to achieve a smokey look. Now in 2011, we have so many different looks that we can achieve, using blue colour. Here are a few ideas on eye looks: 1. Use blue eye pencil or eye gel and line the top eye lid. For a glamour look, apply sparkles over the product. Finish look with mascara on eye lashes. 2. Line the inner lash line with a dark blue pencil and fill the outer corners with a dark blue eyeshadow and blend inwards, to create a smokey look. finish with a lighter blue on the rest of the eyelid. Add lots of mascara in black or navy blue. 3. With a medium, soft eye shadow brush, apply light blue pearl / sparkly eye shadow, over entire eye area. This will give you a wash of colour. Finish look by accentuating the eye brow and applying mascara on eye lashes. 4. For a dramatic, abstract look, paint a bright blue colour, using eye gel, on whole eye lid. Apply false lashes and finish with a layer of mascara. 5. Apply neutral / skin tone colour over eye lids. Build up eye lashes with blue mascara. Finish look by applying sparkles or glitter on tips of eyelashes, while mascara is still wet. 6. Brush powder eyeshadow over eye lids and finish look by applying gloss over the powder. Sticky but stunning glossy look!!
