Keep up with the latest fashion trends this winter by being
up-to-date with the current beauty trends!
This winter it’s all about Berry and Burgundy lips with
neutral eyes. The reason for this contrast is because the lips are the centre-piece
of this season and eyes should not draw attention away from the lips!
An amazing palette to keep the eyes neutral with and that is
student friendly is MUA’s new matte palette in ‘Ever After’. I’m totally in
LOVE with this palette, costing only £4 for 10 amazing, colours, it can help
you achieve a soft and simple day time look to be paired with the deep lips or
can also be transformed into a sexy smokey night-time look without looking too
much minus the shimmer. For day times, sweep a light shade over the lid and
deepen the crease with the brown shades, make sure to blend blend blend; no-one
likes the harsh lines! Finish off with liner if desired and add plenty coats of
mascara. For night-times, go dramatic on both eyes and lips which will help you
achieve a sultry sexy look; sweep the lighter colours on the brow bone to make
it pop, add the browns in the crease and pat the black on your lid, finish off
with liner and lashes if desired. This palette is such a versatile palette as
it can also be used to highlight and contour the face to add dimension and
shape!
Moving on
to the lips, you can go from affordable lipsticks to high-end lipsticks
whatever your choice. For an affordable option, I've decided to pick ‘Revenge’
which is from Collection’s new Gothic Glam line. This colour is an intense red
with brown undertones, an alternative is ‘Deepest Plum’ by Vivo which is a deep
red with purple undertones and both colours are perfect for this season!
If you’re like me and sometimes like to splash out on a Mac
bullet lipstick, try ‘Rebel’ which has a satin finish. It is a gorgeous purple
with pink undertones and it absolutely beautiful! If you just want to make do
with what you have, apply a red lipstick to the lips and gradually add a black
or brown liner to the lips and blend until the preferred intensity.
Top tip: Make sure to prep the lips by exfoliating them so that the lipsticks glide on as smooth as possible. To make a home-made lip scrub, add 1tsp of granulated sugar with 1/2tsp honey, mix and scrub on the lips. Lips will feel as smooth as ever and don’t worry if it ‘accidentally’ enters the mouth, it’s all edible!
