This winter I have made sure my face is up-to-date by keeping up with the latest makeup trends.I know we only have a month or so left but here are a few tips for the season.
Cat Eyes: Cat eyes have come and gone throughout the century as make up trends. Now they are seeing their way back to the fashion world as models, celebrities and other model icons are starting to favor this fashionable look. To make cat eyes, I usually use Benefit BadGal sharp jet black eye liner which you can pick up from any good cosmetics store from £7.99 onwards. This product is great for smoky eyes as the pencil is thick and easy to hold ensuring large lines/flicks are easily created. Although not labelled as waterproof, Benefit BadGal liner actually works wonders on the waterline of my eye and as an added bonus, the texture is nice and creamy meaning it doesn't irritate my skin. The only problem, however, is that it does smudge fairly easily so girls keep checking in the mirror for obvious and unwanted lines. After applying the liner I then use a smudge brush to create the smokey cat affect.

Coloured eye liner: If you're not keen on smoky eyes then ditch your black and brown eye liners this season and have fun with bold colours that make your eyes pop. This winter,there has been a trend in turquoise, dark green and mustard yellow for liners. A bit daring maybe but these shades are the in-thing with creative colours being used everywhere. If you're anything like me you won't limit yourself to eye liners alone. Get creative with your shadows and use them as liners, applying a small coat with a thin, good quality brush. As this is the festive season, glitter liners are also on trend and look just perfect for work dos and dinners out. Find a trusted online wholesaler that sells wholesale cosmetics and get a batch of different colours so you'll never be bored with your makeup this winter.

Nude lips: You won't have seen so many dark lips this season, but nude lips have made a big splash. This doesn't mean wearing no makeup on your lips but the trend will be in playing up the eyes and a simple gloss or nude/pale pink lipstick.
Thick eyebrows: Put away your tweezers this winter and get out that brow liner. Thin and over plucked brows are a thing of the past. This winter, you’ll see natural and even “boyish” brows making their debut on the runways. A good eyebrow pencil is not something you’re likely to find in a drug store, so invest in a good quality pencil that matches your eyebrows and skin tone and isn’t too dark. You can also use your eyebrow pencil as an eyeliner.
One more tip for you girls: Go and buy Barry M Mushroom nail polish, it is just delicious! (See picture)
