Applying Makeup

Want foolproof style for your next big event?
Get "Jet Set"

Applying makeup with 'Jet Set style really is about capturing the chic mix of high fashion and celebrity style.  It is also is a fool proof red carpet style.  So if you are looking for 'fool proof' for your next big event. Get Jet Set...

Perhaps its this new era of the united worlds of celebrity and fashion (they were not always in synch). Entertainment stars constantly adorn the covers of the big fashion magazines ...and models, usually über models, have become celebrities.

If, as you read this, you picture Kate Moss, Demi Moore, Heidi Klum or Kristen Stewart, you are definitely on the right track.

Applying Makeup
Smoky Eyes

• The trick to professional looking smoky eye makeup really comes down to effective color layering and smudging of shadows, liners etcetera to create a sexy dramatic eye.
• A darker palette of colors; ex. plums, grays, blacks will create more intensity, and conversely, a lighter palette of colors; ex. beige, golds, browns will create a softer definition of the eyes.
• Glamour element: Use satin shadows in powder or cream, highlight the inner corner of your eye and outer brow with a little metallic sparkle and use black mascara.

Many cosmetic companies offer great smokey eye kits that include two to three shades of shadow, the smudge brush, sometimes a black eye pencil, and a step by step guide. Take a look at Lorac Close Up: Real Life To Red Carpet Eye Tutorial for the works on red carpet style.

• natural looking shade of blush on the apples of your cheeks (some blend of pink, peach and coral with emphasis on one of those colors depending on your skin tone)
  
• Glamour element: Add soft shimmer to highlight cheeks, eyes, and décolletage (a multipurpose stick like the one by NARS is a great tool for this).

Applying Makeup
Glossy Natural Lips

• Lips are lower key than the eyes, but well defined and dressed up with a spicy- brown pencil (MAC has great lip pencils for this in Spice or Oak)
• filled with a natural tone dewy lipstick or gloss (or both) in a pinky- mauve- brown...something earthy that takes your lips and replicates their color without being too dark or unnatural in color.
• Glamour element: Consider A Lip Plumper and Gloss by Lip Fusion or Du Wop Lip Venom. Finish over lipstick with a sheer gloss with a little shimmer.
