Dash of Fashion: party makeup

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The holiday season is here, which means party season is here too! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> Glitter eye shadows are so fun to wear to winter festivities. They look so vibrant and alive against the bleak, dreary backdrop of the colder months, and they also play well against crisp white snow. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjccEDpsnmFF4uJTdOuHmE2IRwiRkaekxH5rK5NolDLBBR5CofwvOr6v05RX-6Z4w2Xj-jb_NYqWIYPlUBgI9woUG_SXckBS28Lkb_LT4ekgDvlaPsd5C64Tm258LdOA6u-hammOxEy4o4/s1600/glitter+shadow+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" border="0" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjccEDpsnmFF4uJTdOuHmE2IRwiRkaekxH5rK5NolDLBBR5CofwvOr6v05RX-6Z4w2Xj-jb_NYqWIYPlUBgI9woUG_SXckBS28Lkb_LT4ekgDvlaPsd5C64Tm258LdOA6u-hammOxEy4o4/s1600/glitter+shadow+2.jpg" title="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" width="640" /></a></div> Candle light and open fires pick up the sheen you've added to your shadow and make your eyes sparkle and look so pretty. But if they're not executed correctly, glittery eye shadows are just a sparkly mess all over your face. <div style="text-align: center;">So here are my tips for </div><div style="text-align: center;">How To Work With Glittery Eyeshadow.</div> 1. Neutralize your complexion To pull off a good glittery shadow you really need to have a good, smooth foundation, evening out your complexion.  <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKL1Qja9wKfFjIjhEN_XpPw2lFMmqWoptL_5MTCzQIpeZdzhozFxMoXh820RtOUVvJV-T6iuVYeOzjfOhlAZhInsvOCK9o0e5slRsi7kCRHoAFx71WvUXYfWqWdoRrmtMqIMkvu7-Mxtg/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKL1Qja9wKfFjIjhEN_XpPw2lFMmqWoptL_5MTCzQIpeZdzhozFxMoXh820RtOUVvJV-T6iuVYeOzjfOhlAZhInsvOCK9o0e5slRsi7kCRHoAFx71WvUXYfWqWdoRrmtMqIMkvu7-Mxtg/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+4.png" title="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" /></a></div> 2. Keep The Shine Only To Your Eyes. Its easy to make the whole face look too shiny when you have a high shine eye. Tone the cheek down a little, and don't add sparkle anywhere else. Sparkly or shimmery highlight paired with a glittery shadow will detract from the effect of the eye shadow and can end up making the face look oily. 3. Soften The Lip If you are making a shimmery eye the focus of your look, help it out by toning down the lip.  Most people can't carry off a big eye and a big lip at the same time. Go for something a little more neutral, and keep it either matte or just a low sheen. A big glossy lip with a glittery eye makes the face look too shiny and too busy. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8qZmy4rtXO13H90Pl2pjbhCG-iWXBjHjrEKewIsFRPpLMSEcMb1QixJ6K08c46jZR1ak8jR4iEZP0ecz17rGSqGWl78wgvMGQcG8TD0uibjk6Dxw_uaJHp2OeaYRxQooRoh5kl6dhhSk/s1600/glitter+shadow+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8qZmy4rtXO13H90Pl2pjbhCG-iWXBjHjrEKewIsFRPpLMSEcMb1QixJ6K08c46jZR1ak8jR4iEZP0ecz17rGSqGWl78wgvMGQcG8TD0uibjk6Dxw_uaJHp2OeaYRxQooRoh5kl6dhhSk/s1600/glitter+shadow+1.png" title="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" width="640" /></a></div> 4. Use Your Glitter Shadow As An Accent Dont try to build your entire eye with a glitter shadow.  Build the shape and drama of the eye in neutral creamy finished eye shadows (glitter adheres better to a cream base), and then bring in your shimmery/glittery product as the final event. Bare lids won't hold sparkles. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKIcO17tWdBNXKywAepDjpIRsVruRiMtIvs1s2-wsgoJpaxdiqfGyOsOguN99btP9Crx7-sEZa3FV9T9ogWhyiU27pm7ej9QrD86hqRGnxivhNzgHhBI7pbWA4tXIsfhfMLlLhtbwdEQ/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" border="0" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKIcO17tWdBNXKywAepDjpIRsVruRiMtIvs1s2-wsgoJpaxdiqfGyOsOguN99btP9Crx7-sEZa3FV9T9ogWhyiU27pm7ej9QrD86hqRGnxivhNzgHhBI7pbWA4tXIsfhfMLlLhtbwdEQ/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+3.jpg" title="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" width="640" /></a></div> 5. It's all In The Application To make this deal work, and not have glitter all over your face, you need to apply it correctly. I like to dampen my brush by dabbing it into a tiny amount of <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001D0B20I/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001D0B20I&linkCode=as2&tag=corswo-20&linkId=P7IMBSZRNF7U6JIG%22%3EMAKE%20UP%20FOR%20EVER%20HD%20Microperfecting%20Primer%200%20Neutral%201.01%20oz%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=corswo-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B001D0B20I%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E" target="_blank">Makeup Forever HD Primer</a> (it binds and holds the product without being too heavy) and then pick up my glitter /shimmer product and gently press it onto the area I want to accent. Don't try to paint the eye or sweep a glitter product over it, as the particles will flick all over the face and can be tricky to get off. You want to isolate the glitter/shimmer just to the eye, and the area of the eye that you are accenting. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyHB1M7-df8B5hv_Xhbs1nux2duRsps3smf2z1TX7M4nYzemnbf2Nz9eqncPN3rYol-1_fDlAoSDZMQjC5fCii981cWN2HCGkmqDhiJDV4NA82Hdx45w3RS988XUBx0UD5BYTz8EF8kzA/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyHB1M7-df8B5hv_Xhbs1nux2duRsps3smf2z1TX7M4nYzemnbf2Nz9eqncPN3rYol-1_fDlAoSDZMQjC5fCii981cWN2HCGkmqDhiJDV4NA82Hdx45w3RS988XUBx0UD5BYTz8EF8kzA/s1600/glitter+eye+shadow+5.jpg" title="How-To-Do-Glitter-Eyeshadow" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Shimmer vs Glitter</td></tr></tbody></table> 6.

My favorites are <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00021CNSE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00021CNSE&linkCode=as2&tag=corswo-20&linkId=YTSVI4R5E5PCO45K%22%3EMAKE%20UP%20FOR%20EVER%20Star%20Powder%20Pink%20Gold%20916%200.09%20oz%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=corswo-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00021CNSE%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E" target="_blank">Makeup Forever Star Powder </a>and  <a href="https://www.faceatelier.com/product/shimmer/category/eyes/" target="_blank">Face Atelier's Shimmer</a>. The particles are smaller, give more of a shimmery effect, and stay on the eye rather than all over the face. You can carry off more sheen to other areas of the face with a shimmer shadow instead of a glitter. If you want to use a glitter look for one with smaller instead of bigger particles. 7.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Its the time of the year when there are endless parties to go to, often directly from work. But after a long day at the office, typically your makeup is looking anything but fabulous, so here are 6 high speed tips to get you from office makeup to super glam in no time at all. 1. Complexion. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbd6yePBPc-CVCiaJuzCTlH4YiJzMP8rrRIL0cyx6jy-G25_JbI-bvy5tq6m_Na1OFFze2ADYvNXtzmDKJZXENzKGkSiTSizS3IOPYuPf2ovCVvvkUtFMaeJfHOh10cIHWyqCypnFCbKY/s1600/bb+cream.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbd6yePBPc-CVCiaJuzCTlH4YiJzMP8rrRIL0cyx6jy-G25_JbI-bvy5tq6m_Na1OFFze2ADYvNXtzmDKJZXENzKGkSiTSizS3IOPYuPf2ovCVvvkUtFMaeJfHOh10cIHWyqCypnFCbKY/s400/bb+cream.jpg" title="Apply-BB-Cream" width="271" /></a></div> Instead of piling on powder and leaving your skin looking chalky, use either a duo fiber foundation brush or a clean makeup sponge (or in a pinch clean fingers), and apply a little BB cream to the areas that need it. This will help to even out your skin tone and give your skin a little glow. 2. Under Eyes Mix a color correcting concealer with a little luminizer and a dot of eye cream and refresh your under eye area. The eye cream will rehydrate tired under eyes, the luminizer will add a little glimmer, bouncing off light, and the concealer will even out the color. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgREuSrqmgLuMihzsUrm94UbqASm7nDN-C36389u68VBpV5aXPBFVtFzEpuJyZjqz8adlTOFpBFND3vlei97tqVWxGCtP9u72rys19d2kePzApU5NmuH12iVDxFhKGpWdB-zXxno8mioG4/s1600/smashbox_halo1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgREuSrqmgLuMihzsUrm94UbqASm7nDN-C36389u68VBpV5aXPBFVtFzEpuJyZjqz8adlTOFpBFND3vlei97tqVWxGCtP9u72rys19d2kePzApU5NmuH12iVDxFhKGpWdB-zXxno8mioG4/s320/smashbox_halo1.jpg" title="Smashbox-Halo-Highlighting-Pen" width="235" /></a> 3. Shimmer Add a little life to your upper cheek bones with a shimmer product. Avoid anything with large particles, as this can leave you looking glittery. I like Nars The Multiple or Smashbox Halo Highlighting Wand for a creamy sheen. 4. Sharpen Your Brows <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiARZaSM0r0V2Xl3Rgo3nq3V97eVi9cgkPb8pj0-09UYXnPXrMEIlM2rpMKyXsORv6xB4XG98nlFg9JOOBqxYY1jjayjUAtsJtDthzCBXufWgkgd2aZ0TwtzIMfEmv0hwsqdbwYUUwuHiQ/s1600/brows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiARZaSM0r0V2Xl3Rgo3nq3V97eVi9cgkPb8pj0-09UYXnPXrMEIlM2rpMKyXsORv6xB4XG98nlFg9JOOBqxYY1jjayjUAtsJtDthzCBXufWgkgd2aZ0TwtzIMfEmv0hwsqdbwYUUwuHiQ/s320/brows.jpg" title="Megan-Fox-Perfect-Eyebrows" width="220" /></a></div> Make a statement with a well defined brow. This helps lift tired eyes, at the same time as looking elegant and refined. Trace a sharper line on the lower edge of the brow, then blend upward and out to soften. 5. Big Lashes Open your eyes with tons of mascara. Curl your lashes beforehand if needed, and make sure your mascara is clump free. 6. Apply A Bold Lip <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxKuDN_jZRFi2NgQwXzG5OzuH9zX0jLh-d0gxa0wqil5xI5ARZC_hBABwD9E6rRXn0gJBQ_Aku3Fd632jZaTBwbxAKA4l5hpaRJLgaZNesxta-XgaDC2AzyLwifGfujKn7ZsPMm2rqS0/s1600/red+lip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxKuDN_jZRFi2NgQwXzG5OzuH9zX0jLh-d0gxa0wqil5xI5ARZC_hBABwD9E6rRXn0gJBQ_Aku3Fd632jZaTBwbxAKA4l5hpaRJLgaZNesxta-XgaDC2AzyLwifGfujKn7ZsPMm2rqS0/s1600/red+lip.jpg" title="Perfect-Red-Lips" /></a></div> There's no time quite like the holiday season to wear a strong red lip. Find your perfect red, line your lips to give them the perfect shape, and go for it! Avoid * too much powder ~ skin looks dead * too much sparkle ~ it can look ridiculous when paired with a          couple of drinks *going wild with bronzer ~ bronzer is designed to make you look sunkissed, not to make your skin look like brown glitter. Bad bronzing may just be the ultimate makeup faux pas. </div>
