CONFESSIONS OF A BEAUTY QUEEN

Dear Mauve readers,

I must make a confession...I am a Beauty enthusiast! Being able to enhance facial features has always been an obsession of mine. Constantly changing my hair and make-up to current trends allows me to embrace a new season- and guess what? Enhancing your natural beauty is not as compilicated as some beauty guides present it to be! That is why today, I am thrilled to show you my five Spring Beauty Looks that require minimal steps, but delivers grand results! Take a look:

EYE CANDY: Graphic lines are making a huge fuss this spring as the help to draw attention to your natural eye shape or help to recreate a new one. Simply add faux eyelashes to open your eyelids. Allow for bronzer on the cheek bones, and make sure to use a natural lip color for a nude effect.

SUGAR HONEY ICED-TEA: You know the old saying, “less is more”. Well this look is the epitome of that saying. By simply adding a light amount body glow bronzer to the face and by narrowing in on the cheek bones, you create a soft, sun-touched look to the skin. Continue with a nice brow shaper and a bronzed lip color for the complete touches.

COLOR ME MOD: The act of lining the eyes have worked for centuries! Paying close attention to the lash area, line both top and bottom lash area to emphasis the color of your eyes. To really make the eyes stand out, you can use a colored liner. Touch up the skin area with a light bronzer followed by a cream blush for long-lasting wear.

NATURAL GLOW: Ready to imitate Goldy Locks on the hair? Try a ceramic curler that will allow for a tight curl without damaging the hair. On the skin use an illumination powder for glow and follow up with a liquid liner, staying very close to the eye.

SMOKIN' HOT: The smokey eye is an industry favorite for the spring. Use soft colors to blend together with your smokey black or grey shadows to create a light weight smokey eye for the spring. For the tresses try the Ceramic flat iron to smooth those tight curls out.
