If you thought Happy & Bright was the only CLINIQUE Holiday Collection this year—think again!
Inspired by the unique and intriguing fragrance Aromatics Elixir, CLINIQUE Holiday 2007: Touches of Golden Elixir is a sultry collection of shimmery golden hues to light up your face with the most glamorous of holiday looks.
In this collection you’ll find:
If your face is round, add length to your face by having fullness on the top of head. It can also be achieved by either having no parting or one which is placed to one side. Avoid styles where hair is very long and straight or flat at the top of your head.
For a long face, the forehead, cheek bones and jaw are often of equal width and this can be hard, so a soft hair style is usually more flattering. Avoid center parting and dead straight shoulder length hair but aim at a short one.
Square face has an angular shape and any hairstyle should be gentle to soften the outline. Shoulder length hair, flicking at the ends or straight, is flattering and so is a short style flicking away from the face at ear-level. Hair swept to one side or with a diagonal fringe is attractive.
The best way to insure this feeling is through practice. Practice makes perfect, and your wedding makeup is no exception. Whether you are having your makeup done professionally or you are doing it yourself, practice is the key to achieving your perfect look. If you are going the professional route, make sure you schedule at least one trial session with your makeup artist before the big day. You will need to make sure that both of you are on the same page, and it may take a couple of sessions in order to achieve this. Likewise, if you are choosing to do your makeup yourself, you will want to practice many times, experimenting both with colors and techniques. You can also go to a makeup counter at your local department store to pick up some helpful hints and special products that will help you apply your makeup flawlessly. Remember, practice is the best way to ensure you remain stress-free on your special day.
This section looks at the different elements of creating the perfect face for your perfect look. The best way to achieve flawless wedding day makeup is to fuse all of these elements together, highlighting all of your features but not allowing any one area to overpower.
Also gracing MAC counters this week is All Ages, All Races, All Sexes – a new “multi-culti” color story that, you guessed it, suits everyone. We’re loving the universal concept, and MAC’s introducing a product that should get Penultimate fans excited (I’m included in this bunch!) – the Penultimate Brow Marker – in one, universal shade. Now that I’ve witnessed the magic of universal brow color firsthand, I’m more excited than ever.
