Start sleeping in! the hottest makeup ideas are easier than they look. Here’s how to to9ne ‘em down, amp ‘em up and make them work for your skin tone and style. – Alexandra Marshall
1. The orange lips, really, really orange!
To avoid the just-gulped-some-Tang effect, says New York City makeup artist Charlie Green, think burnt orange it you’re dark shinned, tangerine if you’re medium or milky peach if you’re a paleface.
Be sure to: Use a light touch—orange can overpower your face.
Forget about: The eye-lip-cheek triple whammy. Stick to one or two orange features or you’ll look like George Hamilton.
2. Very “done” lashes . . . with an otherwise neutral face
Pare down your face and pump up your lashes—that’s how to do the new nude, says Green. This is the perfect look with jeans or anytime you don’t want to look too fussy. Sweep a shimmery neutral on lids, then curl lashes to open up your eyes. Top them off with several coats of mascara and you’re good to go.
Be sure to: Opt for sheer foundation, and bypass powder to make skin look its dewiest.
Forget about: Minimal mascara. This look needs eyes, big-time.
3. The new smoky eye, surprisingly wearable
To mimic these bold eyes, line yours all around with a dark pencil, color in your entire top lids to give you shadow something to grab onto. Next brush a matching shadow up into your lids’ creases and blend with a second, totally clean brush for minimum mess. If you want to tone it down, use less liner and smudge like crazy.
Be sure to: Experiment with lots of smoky shades, black pencil may be too intense, especially if you’re fair. Besides, it’s notoriously hard to blend.
Forget about: Bare cheeks. Notes Green, “A bit of healthy warmth on your skin will keep you from looking Gothic.”
