a natural fresh look. - Remember that the color of your lipstick and blusher should not just match your outfit but should complement your complexion as well
- Good eye makeup can add a dramatic touch to your looks. A quick routine for eye makeup would be to dust some blusher on the entire eye and then to define the upper and lower rim with a dark grey or brown pencil. Thereafter, dust some highlighter, i.e. silver white or beige, below the eyebrows. A few strokes of mascara on your lashes would add the finishing touch. Eyeliner is optional.
