Ten Great Makeup Tips for Fall/Winter 2005

Get ready for fall and winter by brushing up your look with these great makeup tips from Katherine Quiel, the makeup artist from Yellow Strawberry Salon.





Keep your skin glowing with a light-reflecting moisturizer.

Eyes are in the spotlight this season, so eye makeup is bold and attention-getting, so make it strong and impactfull.

Keep your foundation natural so the skin looks radiant and not "made up".

Emphasize soft, glossy lips with a light lip liner.

Slightly thicker eyebrows are hot this season so keep them groomed and natural.

Use a cream blush to keep cheeks rosy and natural-looking during the colder months.

Don't forget sunscreen, even in winter... it's the key to youthful skin.

If you use a bronzing powder, use one that's just one shade darker than your skin. Don't try to fake a tan in the middle of winter; just work with your natural color and you'll look more radiant.

Invest in a good curling mascara that won't clump or harden your lashes (try M.A.C. Zoomlash).

Don't be afraid of bold eye color and lip color, even if you find it intimidating. You can always sheer it out until you are comfortable with the look.

Finally, remember that when it comes to makeup there are no rules except that you should be comfortable with your choices. If you fancy a particular color, mix it up with something trendy to update your look. Makeup is part of your personality so let the real you shine through.
