One of the best things about the holiday season is that it can be a good time to experiment with makeup looks that you normally wouldn't try. This means grabbing the sparkles and glittery eyeshadow that would be too much for a day at the office but perfect to match that dress you bought for the Christmas party. Recently, The San Diego Reader offered some tips for ladies who feel like going wild with their cosmetics during this time of year.
The news source spoke to makeup artist Alexis Hoerres who said that in the summer, people should have a light and airy makeup look, but that the same isn't true of the winter. When it's cold and raining outside, you want your skin to be vibrant, she said, so don't be afraid to go for that green or blue eyeshadow with a hint of glitter in it. There are many bright colors that can complement your African American skin care products without overpowering them.
Hoerres warned readers that if they're going to draw attention to your eyes, they should be sure to fill in their eyebrows.
"It’s so important, especially for pictures. You have to fill in your eyebrows, otherwise you can look washed out. With a brow pencil, mascara or an eye-shadow, you can just comb it through at the end, and it looks natural and beautiful," said Hoerres, quoted by the news source.
The Gloss suggests that if you don't feel comfortable wearing eyeshadow with too much shimmer, but still want a little extra shine, you may want to try a metallic glitter eyeliner.
