Get a holiday makeover at SM Beauty Section

During this season of parties, reunions and other gatherings, creating the right look—the one that makes you glam and fab but still letting you be you---can seem like a challenge. Is there enough time? Are you doing things right?

Well there’s no more need to fret and stress yourself out: just follow these three easy, sure-fire make-up styles courtesy of the SM Beauty Section in all SM Department Stores. 

ROCKIN' ROSY GLOW

Let's start with basics: Begin with a shiny pink blush on your cheeks. Enhance with mauve, rose or maybe aubergine eye shadow to match your eyes with your rosy color.

Lastly, top it off with a dash of lip color. Plum, burgundy or rose shades work like magic. Find pure glosses and lipsticks to maintain a light and luscious look. Holding this color is all about lining the lips with a pencil of the same shade.

This creates a natural, fresh and even-toned color. It’s vibrant and glowing but looks like you didn’t put anything on. Remember: stick to the same color group to create a balanced look that leaves a soft, natural look.

Create this look with the following products from SM Beauty Section:

Loreal – Lucent Magique BB Cream (price to follow) blends skin-perfecting pigments that reveals a flawless finish with a glowing complexion. Use this to achieve a girl-next-door glow or campus crush face.

MAX FACTOR COLOR ELIXIR LIPSTICK (P595) is perfect for creating glamorous lips that look healthier too. This contains a 60% blend of skin emollients, conditioners and antioxidants including vitamin E, for instant fabulous colour and smoother, softer lips.

PARTY PURPLES

For that bold, beautiful party look, choose purple shades. If you do this right, it’s a ticket into any VIP lounge. For a sexy smile that shines all night, line and fill your lips, so you get a balanced layer of color that won't fade. Now, brush your lips with color. Dust some powder right over the pencil to allow the color to set in. Dabbing a Kleenex over the lips and dusting over works wonders as well.

Plain grape, sugar plum or shades of fuchsia and magenta stand out. A simple gloss gives you that subtle sparkle. For an edgier look, work with more full-bodied colors.

Next, rub on some eye foundation to even out your skin tone, outline the upper lashes with dark blue liner. Add a whiff of eye shadow in the amethyst or other blue hues for a special smoky eye effect.

And remember, for that blooming flush or beautiful glow, color is everything. The secret is in mixing and matching the right shades and hues with your complexion to achieve this awesome effect!

To be the ultimate party standout, be sure to use the following:

COVERGIRL OUTLAST LIPSTAIN (P445) is best if you’re looking for luscious, long- lasting glam.. It's water-based colorant that gives lips a beautiful, lightweight flush of color that won't come off; lasting for hours without the heavy look or feel of an ordinary lipstick. Its pen-like precision applicator makes it easy to define your lips.

THE GOLDEN RULES

Finally, there’s the look that goes well with the golden shimmer of holiday lights. It evoke a soft, warm tint like baked cookies, clear wine, oranges and the like. It's the beach bum tan that heats up your look for the cooler season.

The secret here is to work up the eyes while keeping your cheeks and lips beaming with a crisp, natural gleam. Use a deeper, darker shade of brown eye pencil to line the lashes then detail with a brush. Bronze or brass copper go around the eyelids.

To really bring out your face, gently dash some light golden shadows in the inner corners of the eyes, just by your nose.

For the lips, make sure to keep their color within the same hue. Champagne, red, even sienna is just right.For that sun-golden finish, embrace your cheeks with bronzer or something in the warm peachy blush family. Experiment with more color but not too much.

There's nothing more enthralling like a bold, intense stare. In person, it mesmerizes. In photos, it can touch the soul. So add a dash of volume to your lashes, puff some smoky shadows, and line those eyes with a passionate flame.
