Winter Makeup Trends A/W 2014/15

Fellow Blogees,
Hope you're not too depressed with that Sunday night feeling. However if it has struck you down, here's some wintery make up trends to perk you up.

1. Eyes are the main focus for Autumn-Winter 2014/15, so first up is the use of metallics. May sound bold, but we've seen everyone from Dior to Chanel rocking this look. You can do varying degrees of heaviness. To achieve this look on a budget, you could use Maybelline Colour Tattoo cream eye shadow.

2. Next up is big, dominant lashes. Eye lashes can add so much drama to a look, which is handy for the winter when things get a bit more mean and moody looking. You could use Eylure individual lashes to create a natural, but doey-eyed look.

3. Dewy skin is always a must have. However, in the winter it can be harder to achieve due to your skin drying out. Well here's a gift from us to you. Try Sleek Go Face and Body highlighter. This will be sure to make you glow in all the right places.

4. Powerful Coloured eyeshadow has become a big thing. Bold and statemented colour can really add to the overall impact of your make up. You could use the Wild Shadow Eyeshadow Pencil by Max Factor, to achieve a strong and popping colour.

5. We love eye liner. It covers a multitude of ills. And It's a go to because it always adds a bit of depth to the look. You can layer it up depending how brave (or tired) you're feeling. Try different types to see which one works the best for you, or start with using the Bourjois Effect Smoky Eye Pencil. It's a soft and light pencil, but great for creating an intense look.

6. Ok so the big brow thing has kinda taken the beauty world by storm since the infamous look was donned by the lovely Cara. You can easily replicate this look by using Soap and Glory Archery Brown Tint and Pencil. Thing to remember, don't grip fiercely like a toddler. Gently draw on and you can't go wrong.

Loads of Love,
