The colour Yellow

Now, who can wear yellow as a colour.....

Yes, anyone can, but depends on what yellow you choose.

People who have a light complexion, normally blondes look great in pastel or light yellow.

Redheads look the best with yellows of all shades, such as burnt yellow, bright yellow, egg yolk yellow and even yellow green, etc, etc, etc....

I love yellow ochre, as I have an olive skin tone, but only when I have a tan though....

Trends for Spring/Summer 2011

So, I have been doing some research on trends for our Spring / Summer and I find that it is a kaleidoscope of different fashion trends and colours.
The trends stretch from taking elements from the 50's up to the 70's.
The elegance of Audrey Hepburn in the 50's.
The capri pants from the 60's
Long flowing glamorous styles from the 70's and not to forget the punk influence.

Colours are bright, sheer or just the on going neutral shades....
Orange is one of the strong key colours for summer.
At Inlot Cosmetics, we are very big on colour, whether it's eyes, lips or nails....we even have a big range of colourful false eyelashes.......
So, for your hot oranges, tangerines, lemon yellows, greens and turqoises.....come to one of our stores and play......

Smokey eyes

I have seen horrific smokey eyes done by some so called 'top make up artists'.
Your eyes should not look like panda eyes, but have a soft, airbrushed finish, whether you use one colour or more.

The whole idea is to blend your eyeshadows, with appropriate eye make up brushes.
Start with dark colour, on the top lash line, medium colour on eyelid and the blend with soft blending brush upwards , midway to brow bone. Accentuate the outer corners of eyes by darkening and blending. Finish the look by adding a soft highlighter on browbone and inner corner of eyes.

The only way to master this look is to practice your blending techniques.

Estee Lauder Double wear

I learned today that the double wear foundation, from estee lauder, is not as thick as what people claim it to be. It is how you apply the foundation, like any other......
Why do woman walk around wearing a mask on their faces? and why did I skip this one?.......

Acidic levels of your skin....

Did you know if your acidic level of your skin is strong, the colour of your foundation, lipstick and even eye shadow might change to a darker shade.....

'Dewy look'

did you know that..if you don't like the 'dewy' look foundation, because you are scared that you might look like you came out of an oil pot, you can apply a matte finish foundation and use a soft highlighter to accentuate only certain areas of your face.....
