BEAUTY, MAKE UP BY Christelle

Today we will have a look and find out how we can get the Whitney Houston look via her eternal smokey eye.

Design the shape: Apply a foundation over your lid. With your fingers, apply a shimmery shadow preferably using a colour close to your skin tone. Layer on a gray shadow from your lash line to the crease.

Create the line: Using a dark green (taupe) or a brown eye pencil, trace around your eyes, a dark line/shadow. Blend it. If you choose to add false eyelashes, you need to apply some black eyeliner just above your natural lashes and apply mascara (transparent or black) on them in order to give them a curly finish.

Open your eyes: A light and shimmery shadow applied just on the inner corner of your eye will enhance them.

Visual depth and false eye lashes application: Take your false eye lashes out of the box. Trim them according to your eye size and personal taste, before using. Spread a very thin layer of the eyelash adhesive on your hand then onto the eye lash trip. You can apply the false eye lash just above your natural ones; remember to apply them as close as possible to your natural eye lash line. If necessary readjust the false eye lashes and press them to make them firm. Once your eyelash adhesive is completely dry, reapply your black eye liner where gaps are appearing between your natural eye lashes and the false ones. To finish, apply two layers of black mascara onto your false eye lashes. Brush your eyebrows

With dry skins, we should look for creamy formulas which include ingredients that retain water (glycerin). going for beauty products with olive oil and vitamin E can also keep the skin moisturized. These masks are soft for the skin as they do not contain irritants. They can be applied on the whole face.

Acne-prone skin need to get rid of the shine on the T-zone. Anti-inflammatory ingredients (sulfur) exfoliate and clean the pores while killing bacteria.

Rosacea can be reduced by using calming ingredients such as aloe vera, cucumber, chamomille or green tea in order to reduce the inflammation temporarily. These masks should ideally used twice a week as they are gentle.

BUZZ ME BY Osleidis

I am a “shoe’s mad” as some 99, 99% of women on this planet. No matter how hard I tried to dissect scientific papers, I have found no studies explaining the obsession of women’s footwear. But I have my little theory on it … More than clothing, make up or hairstyle, footwear determines our gait, our style. Whether we are seductress, executive woman, girlish, tomboy, casual not to say hippie-ish, it is in the length of the stiletto heel, the choice of materials, colors or even the price, that we carry over our state of mind. So when we are Sofisticate, it is first in his shoes. We also know that everything that is not luxury is not cheap, that the real style is a combination of brands, markdowns, trends and imagination!

This fall / winter ankle boot is more than ever our friend. I suggest you my little home selection, which includes heels half-long (more comfortable but still glamorous), color (yes, let’s dare!), Leather, lace and suede (avoid puddles especially!). The ankle boots of classic colors, ie black or brown, must be highlighted by the wearing of colored opaque tights or even fluorescent, which is one of major trends this fall / winter. But we will discuss again in the very next article.

If you choose to dress your feet with “colored ankle boots so it is with black tights, still opaque, or mesh, and a plain see blacker than black outfit, if you want that is the only thing to see. Especially if you like the red lace pair number 2. Clothes too loaded or rustle would steal the spotlight…. Needless to remind you to wear the ankle boots with a dress or a skirt, but I particularly recommend the short or Bermuda. Because the ankle boot serves first to enhance the leg by lengthen and refining the ankles. In our case, it curves the back more… You can emphasize the curve of your legs by wearing thick socks over the length of the calf or roll up at the ankles. Well, come to my top 8, to wear during the day or evening, and at all prices:

1. Addict-initial, 109€
2. Hush Puppies, 120€
3. Mellow Yellow, 109€
4. Jonak, 99€
5. New look, 39€
6. Buffalo, 69€
7. Lollipops, 119€
8. Ash, 195€

STYLE BY Christelle

Predominant ally of the autumn and winter seasons, the coat remains one of our best investments when the weather does change. Because this item aims at a medium to long journey in our wardrobes we should always consider before buying a coat: to go for the best fabrics which means quality fabrics like pure wool instead of synthetic mixed with cashmere content.

Do not be afraid to spend: a great coat never date. Trends should not guide you if you keep in mind that this special item will help for years. Always have a look on the linings, they should be enough strong , sewn well and not baggy around the bottom.

 

The coat should protect you against the cold: whether you wear winter shorts to enhance your legs or a full length dress to hide the extra pounds you may have gained over the cold season.

Because of our skin tones, velvets, tweeds and rich pure wools are the most suitable fabrics to consider when choosing a coat. Plum and blackberry, chocolates and browns, greens, black or deep blue are relevant colours to look at when buying a winter coat.
