As you know, Autumn Winter 2010 trends are graphic – eyeliner has a rock n roll vibe, ranging from the classic cat eye to smeared almost sweaty liner that looks like you’ve been up all night. Lips are bold too, in wintry shades of dark purple, blackened plum and cherry red.
If your going for the classic cats eye (opt for gel liner as it has the longest staying power) I like Make-up Forever gel liner. Apply it with a clean damp make-up brush for a precise finish.
If choosing the smeared eyeliner with a rock n roll edge, apply night cream to your eyelids and allow it to dry. Then use pencil eyeliner across the edge of the eye (top and bottom) include the wet line of the eye too. Smudge the line using your finger and reapply liner. You may have to do this a few times until you build up the right amount of color for you. The longer this look is on the better it looks so you may want to start your make up a few hours before you intend to show up at the party.
If your lips are full opt for a bold lip in cherry red, blackened plum or dark purple.
Ladies with less in the lip department should opt for a sheer gloss in the same color spectrum or choose to throw the color emphasis on your nails instead and keep the lips neutral.
