Autumn Screams


Image Source:www.thesaturdaypost.com
After years of neutral chic, this autumn screams sophistication with a capital S, with strong shades of pink, gold, grey, black, plum and red, and sophisticated beauty mixed with a rock’n'roll feel.
Dark, captivating and mysterious, black is this season’s colour.

Smoky eyes combined with a flawless complexion and shiny lips create a sophisticated rock look.
Dramatic black is powerfully glam, and though easy to use it does precise application and some carefully chosen shades of grey to soften it. Bring out your dark side!

This year, the focus is on darker shades of red than classic lippy shades: aubergine, cherry, crimson and copper, and at the other end of the colour spectrum, candy pink is also in.

Textures are swinging between ulta matte and super shiny. The only rule is whichever you go for, don’t do it by halves! And make sure your application technique is up to scratch as these bold colours don’t leave much room for error…

Mascara types

It is a common misconception to think that the quality of mascara can be dictated by the product�s price. Drugstore mascara can in fact be as good, if not better, as its other counterparts in the market. Now let�s educate ourselves further as we learn the different types of mascara.

The first is the thickening mascara which makes thin eyelashes look bulkier without clumping.

Waterproof mascara prevents unsightly black runs. This type of mascara may be a little too strong for your eyelashes so try applying a little petroleum jelly on your lashes before going to bed for a little eyelash TLC.

Lengthening mascara is suitable for short lashes. This mascara comes with denser applicator brushes so you can get more mascara to the tips of your lashes.

Non-clumping mascara, as its name suggests, prevents clumping when applied to lashes.

The key to finding which mascara best suits you is to know what your needs are. Do you have long or short eyelashes? Is your usual day busy and does it involve a lot of running around so you have no time for make-up retouches? Once you know what you want, you can ask try out the different brands out there.
