Bold Eye Makeup Tips 2010 & 2011
Bold Eye Makeup Tips 2010
Eye makeup is a very touchy subject. Some say to go bold and bright while others suggest a more muted look when it comes to eye matters. It’s all a matter of perspective and what you would like to choose personally.
Bright colors aren’t just for rave girls and the young at heart. A more mature woman can pull off the colors with the right effort. There are a few things to keep in mind when doing so, however.
First of all, make sure that you have a decent eye primer. An eye primer makes it easy to apply your eyeshadow without worrying about creasing. It also brightens the color. There are several types of eye primers on the market. The main thing to remember is that they can get quite expensive. However, you can also try concealer as an alternative until you find an eye primer. Also try to take advantages of any samples that you can get your hands on. Why? Well, just because one primer works for you doesn’t mean it will work for another lady.
Secondly, your eyeshadow should NEVER match your outfit. Try and go for neutral colors such as white, grey, or black. You might have a few matching accents. If you’re the type to wear broaches, then your broach could match or your earrings or a necklace bracelet. Maybe your shirt could be along the same color scheme, but the rest of the outfit should be muted.
Eyeliner can be bold too! You don’t have to use plain black eyeliner—maybe you would rather use bright eyeliner instead! If you do choose to do bright eyeliner, you may want to opt for a neutral shadow. Or you can do both! It’s up to you!
Choosing Accessories for Every Outfit, 2010 & 2011 Tips
Choosing for Every Outfit
One problem with choosing accessories is finding something that goes with every outfit that you have. Here are a few tips to spice up your outfits using accessories and for choosing the perfect accessories year round.
One thing to keep in mind when choosing accessories is that if you want them to go with almost anything, you want them to either be neutral or to have a lot of different colors in them so that they match almost anything.
For example, say that you had a choice between three necklaces. One is a pretty black necklace with a turquoise drop, the other is a soft brown leather necklace with amber drops and the last is a pink bead necklace.
Based on these choices, your best bet would be the leather necklace. Not only is the necklace itself neutral, but so is the amber. You can easily pair the necklace with other neutrals or blues or purples, or almost anything else that you would like.
Now, on the other hand, say that you had a green bead necklace and a rainbow necklace. Which would you choose?
The obvious option is the rainbow necklace. You are then able to pair it with any color or neutral that you wish, without the added problem of trying to match it.
However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t buy necklaces that follow one color scheme—keep in mind that if your wardrobe follows a certain color scheme (say you look amazing in blue and so three-fourths of your wardrobe is blue), then you can purchase jewelry in that color scheme, or something close like purple or green. It’s all based off the color wheel—all it takes is a little bit of imagination and thought on your part.
