DEEP PURPLE

We’d recommend a lip gloss for a sexy, dramatic look. The gloss will look healthy if you use a semi-transparent shade, rather than a traditional matte lipstick, which can make you look like you have bruised lips. The purple shade generally looks better with a paler skin tone (versus a summertime glow), but you’ll want to wear a little color on your cheeks in a medium brown or pink shade, and a nice, classic eye. It may be fun to really play up your lashes, but I’d avoid a deep, smoky eye – as that could make you look like a vampire.

WARM & TOASTY NUDES

You can really play upon a natural, everyday look, while still being made-up. Also, this is one of the easiest shades for all skin tones to wear, as you can find lip colors with an assortment of undertones. When wearing a nude or brown lip color, we suggest a matte or traditional lipstick rather than a gloss, as glosses can often look ‘too nude’ and weirdly shimmery. This lip is great for casual wear in warm, muted, almost nutty shades. We’d suggest a less-is-more eye, with only simple mascara and well-groomed brows. Stick with a lighter, natural eye and line your eyes with a dark shadow if you want a little oomph, but this shouldn’t compete with your look. With this shade, people are sometimes devoted to their nude or brown lip liners, and that is an acceptable way to wear the color, as long as you don’t make the lines around your lips too harsh. Fill your entire lip in with the liner and apply a lip balm over top to keep the color on and make sure you stay moisturized.

How To Choose The Right Fragrance For Your Personality

3 Things To Consider Before Getting Ombre Hair Color

The Top 9 Makeup Colors You’ll Want In 2012

Lingering in a Hot Shower
When it’s ten below outside, it’s tempting to turn your morning shower into a half-hour steam-a-thon. But after about 15 minutes, all that heat begins to compromise your skin’s lipid layer, a complex of fatty acids that holds in precious moisture. Turn down the heat as much as you can—or at least shorten your shower time.

Wearing the Wrong Lip Balm
The most important thing is to use a balm that is viscous, not waxy, so the ingredients penetrate fissures. Stay away from anything with lanolin and, since fragrance is the number-one skin allergen, avoid anything that’s heavily scented or tastes like your favorite candy.

Neglecting Your Hands
One more reason to wear gloves: Forgetting to do so “can lead to painfully cracked fingertips and peeling nails.” Other hand tips: Since antibacterial hand soaps can be drying, use a mild, creamy one instead, rinse well with lukewarm water, and reapply hand cream every time. Once a week, rub cuticle oil into and around nails to keep them hydrated.

Having Rough Feet
Neglecting your feet all winter just makes it more difficult to whip them into shape for spring. As maintenance, get a pedicure at least every six weeks—or even better, follow this foot-softening routine once a week: Soak your feet in warm, soapy water for 15 minutes, then buff the soles with a foot file. To soften and help seal cracks, slick on an ointment, then wear cotton socks while you sleep.

Having Hat Head
To prevent a hat from messing up your hair, “make sure hair is totally dry first—if it’s even slightly damp, it will dry flattened-out under the hat.” Prevent dents in long hair by gathering it into a loop and tucking it under the cap. To maintain volume in hair that’s shoulder-length or longer, part it on the opposite side from where you normally do, then flip it back after you take the hat off. And for short hair, as soon as you remove your hat, put a little styling cream or even just water on your fingers, and run them over and under the roots to rough them up. SEE THE REST HERE!

EYES

Forest Green Shadow
Splashing green on your eyelids can be tricky, but this deeper shade of forest green is “chic and sophisticated on everyone,” says make-up artist Dick Page. Apply a golden moss-colored shadow over the lids, diffusing it as you get up toward the brow bones. Finish with a few coats of black mascara, and you’re good to go.

1. Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow/Liner in Green, $22
2. Sonia Kashuk Eye Shadow Quad in Brown Eyed Girl, $12.99

LIPS

BURGUNDY LIPSTICK
The rich berry shade has a certain ladylike sophistication that’s perfect for fall. “If you already wear deep pinks or reds, this shade is the next logical step,” says Page. Exfoliate lips with a cleansing wipe to get rid of any flakes before applying (dark lipsticks emphasize dry, chapped lips). Keep your mouth from appearing too bright by warming up your cheeks with a subtle blush from the same color family.

1. Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Grape, $8.99
2. Dior Addict Lipcolor Pinstripe Plum, $26

TANGERINE LIPSTICK
This color isn’t reserved for traffic cones and prison jumpsuits anymore. When it comes to lipstick, “a saturated orange is sexy, elegant, and strong,” says Page. Plus, it warms up both fair and dark skin. Just keep the rest of your makeup tame when wearing it: Stick to a soft, peach blush and a swipe of black eyeliner.

1. Topshop Make Up Lips in Rio Rio, $16
2. Milani Lipstick in 42 Mandarina, $4.99

CHEEKS

Bright pink blush gives skin the most youthful-looking flush. But pay attention to the details: “Matte pink is chalky, and hard to wear,” says makeup artist Linda Cantello. “Gold shimmer softens the look.” Dust some onto the apples of you cheeks and blend outward so there are no hard lines.

WINE RED LIPS

A dark burgundy lip makes a deep impact, so keep the rest of your makeup simple with pale blush and shadow. Choose a bold wine shade, such as Dolce & Gabbana The Lipstick in Ultra, and sex it up (tastefully) with a dab of clear gloss on the center of the bottom lip.

GLOWY CHEEKBONES

Patting a highlighter on the top of your cheekbones is the next best thing to bathing them in candlelight. Just be sure to look for a formula that’s warm and peachy, not overtly frosty. We love Benefit High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer.

MONOCHROME EYES AND LIPS

For a fresh and flirty look, stick to neutral shades. A light brown eyeliner and shadow emphasize eyes without overpowering them (try Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Busy Signal). Finish with a swipe of peachy lipstick for a pretty, just-bitten flush.

SMOKY METALLIC EYES

Rim the eyes with black liner (we love CoverGirl LiquilineBlast Eyeliner Pencil in Blackfire), and brush a charcoal shadow over the lids and into the crease. Dust on a copper shade with a hint of shimmer, like Lancôme Color Design Eye Shadow in Bikini Golden, to make eyes pop—and hearts stop. GET THE REST HERE!

1. FIND THE RIGHT FORMULA
For normal to dry skin: Try a cream blush. It blends in more easily than other formulations and generally looks a little more natural. It’s almost like an added layer of moisture.

For normal to oily skin: Go with a powder formula. It will last longer than a cream blush, which can migrate and fade.

For oily skin: A gel (which can be hard to blend on drier skin) stays put.

How To Get Rid Of Black Heads & White Heads

2. LEARN PROPER PLACEMENT
For the most natural look, begin your blush application at the top of the apple of your cheek. The idea is to deposit most of the pigment where rosiness would first appear naturally, if you were simply flushing. If you can’t see where that spot is, smile to push the apples up. Then, placing the color on the part that lies directly below your pupil, blend outward, toward the ear.

3. FLATTER YOUR FACE SHAPE
To thin a round face: Start your blush at the apples, then brush it along the cheekbones all the way up to the temples.

To fill out a thin face: Using circular motions, apply your blush to the center of your cheeks and blend it along the cheekbones and straight back to your ears. On a narrow face, use a bright pink blush with highlighter on the apples.

To shorten a long face: Dust your blush from the apples up toward the temples, then a little across each eyelid and on the chin. Having the same shade on your eyes, cheeks, and chin will make your face look shorter.

To soften a square face: Apply a soft shade of blush on the apples and down into the hollows of your cheeks. Then lightly skim your brush over your temples to very subtly contour.

To create higher cheekbones: Choose a contouring powder or a matte bronzer a shade or two darker than your skin. Starting at the outer cheekbones, lightly sweep it over them. A dot of highlighter on the tops of the cheekbones creates a lifted effect.

4. PICK A FINISH
First, think of the lighting: Certain lights reflect more than others—fluorescent especially—so skip anything too sparkly at the office. Then consider your skin: Blushes with shimmer bring sallow skin back to life, while matte blushes are ideal for oily skin, eliminating shine and staying put longer. Sheer blushes, which tend to be creams or gels, look best on very dark or very pale complexions, since they allow the skin to show through.

COLOR TEST
To find the shade that flatters your skin tone, gently pinch your cheeks and match the blush to the color you get. You can also try one that’s half a shade darker than your favorite neutral lipstick. If you have acne or a ruddy complexion, choose a tawnier shade, so the blush doesn’t call attention to the redness. Either way, shimmery blush almost never looks natural.

Add a primer to your routine. “I always use primer to help blot away oil and prevent sweating,” says Gomez, who recommends M.A.C Prep and Prime.

Try tinted moisturizer. “When it comes to foundation, less is more, so use an oil free tinted moisturizer with SPF to even out the complexion instead,” she says. Her pick: Korres Watermelon Lightweight Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30.

Choose waterproof eye makeup. For mascara, Gomez recommends Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes. “It really stays on all day, and makes you look like a bombshell,” she says.

It’s the one ingredient proven to stimulate collagen production and reduce wrinkles.

Look for creams or serums that come in an aluminum tube or opaque pump bottle—they keep retinol stable and strong.

Roc Retinol Correxion Eye Cream, Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Eye, or Quintessence Clarifying Under-Eye Serum Capsules, have retinol and vitamin K—studies show this combination works especially well on dark circles.

PEACOCK SHADOWS

A peacock’s vibrant feathers are designed to be mesmerizing—and so is the effect their bold colors have on your eyes. Start by blending an iridescent purple shadow around the lashes, using a brush to lightly dust the shade all the way up to the brows. Then apply a shimmery teal green along the inner corners. If you have fair skin, “just take the colors to the creases so it’s not overwhelming,” says makeup artist Romy Soleimani. Finish the look with a nude lipstick; you don’t need any other strong shades on your face.

MANGO LIPS

LIME GREEN EYES

Don’t be intimidated by this shocking color: “Lime green is surprisingly pretty,” says Soleimani. “It’s not too neon or acid-y, and it brings out gold flecks in the eyes.” Try sweeping a sheer eye shadow from the lashes to the brows, or use a more opaque version as an eyeliner for a subtler look. Ground the color with black mascara.

Deep Purple Eye Shadow
Rich purple is the perfect blend of blue and red, which means it “complements everyone and is a great color for day or night.” Stay away from shades that are too heavy on the red undertones—they’re not as adaptable for everyone, “and if you apply it wrong, it could be misinterpreted as a bruise.”

Peach Blush
Unlike pink cheek colors, which can easily veer into Barbie or frosty territory, “a peach blush with a little shimmer marries perfectly with every skin tone.” Women with fair skin should wear it right on the apples of their cheeks, while those with dark skin should move the placement up to the cheekbones “so it’s more of a highlighter.”

Navy Eyeliner
This is the secret to making eyes look awake, no matter what your skin tone. “The deep blue will emphasize the whites of your eyes so they’re instantly brighter. We recommend a pencil or a cream liner as opposed to a liquid.

Gold Eye Shadow
“This is the ultimate metallic shade for everyone.” Always pick a formula that has a pearlescent finish (“matte gold could appear chalky on dark skin,” she says), and for a foolproof look, keep it to a light wash on the lids or a subtle highlight under the brows.

Sheer Rosy Lip Gloss
“You can’t go wrong with a rosy pink lip gloss.” The reason: “It will look like most people’s natural lip color, but it’s flattering even if it’s not.” She recommends a semisheer gloss formula. SEE THE REST HERE!

Laura Mercier is the creator of Laura Mercier cosmetics and the author of The New Beauty Secrets: Your Ultimate Guide to a Flawless Face (Atria). Here’s what she had to say:

GO EASY
The process of taking off your makeup should be gentle and should never leave your skin dehydrated or irritated. That’s why I like to use a cleansing oil, which won’t dry out your face. Using your fingers, swipe a small amount of oil across your lids, eyebrows, and lips, and then lightly massage it all over your face. This will soften your skin and loosen the makeup, so you don’t have to rub like crazy. Then take a flat, square cotton pad—I like these better than the balls, which can be rough—and pour a little cleansing oil on it. Go over the same spots again, being careful not to scrub back and forth. Just skim the surface in one direction to pull up the color.

Cleaning your makeup brushes is an often overlooked yet ridiculously important step in your makeup routine.

A makeup brush a breeding ground for a mess of bacteria and dirt that can easily cause breakouts and, according to dermatologist Dr. Jeannette Graf, can pose a risk of infectious agents like fungus (ringworm), parasites, and viruses too. Another reason to lather up: Regular cleaning keeps brushes soft, easy to use, and makes them last.

Makeup artist Sonia Kashuk says any makeup tool can become contaminated, “especially brushes used to apply concealer, eyeliner, lip color, and cream eyeshadows or blush. Plus, sponges and eyelash curlers are also common breeding grounds for bacteria.” She recommends washing makeup tools weekly, “with the exception of brushes or tools that touch the eyes, which should be washed more frequently. Here, she gives the how-tos on keeping your brushes clean:

Source: Refinery29

Tip #1:
A quick and easy way to clean your brushes—daily or weekly—is to use a spray brush cleanser. Just spray on, rinse until the water runs clear, and air-dry.
