Every woman has their absorb personal "tried and true" makeup routine, right? They usually have favorites and must have items too. A well-liked mascara, a particular color of lipstick, you know the drill. Women tend to buy what they know works and use it in a way that they know is best, which is a logical and normal way of doing things. To me, the same veteran "1 coat of mascara, blush on the apples, and go" routine is rather…boring. Experiment a diminutive, girls! Eye shadows reach in more than one color for a reason, true? Be creative and punch up your basic makeup application and you may be pleasantly surprised by what you get. You might even want to swap some shades to get a new look all together. If you're not that daring, just add tiny touches to take away some of the blandness. I present you with 3 new looks that may or may not tickle your fancy but if in fact you are a routine worshiping woman, try at least one of these and see if it suits you. Feel free to give or take, as long as it's "you." Remember: Enhance and create, don't hide and settle for the normal!
Look #1: Natural
I'd like to think of this look as beachy. It's very earthy and clean and goes well with loose waves.
1. Apply foundation as normal but apply the loose powder sparingly. It will make you look "too done."
2. Apply one coat of brown mascara to top lashes. Stay away from those bottom lashes! If you put mascara on them, they'll appear bold and unnatural. You may curl the top lashes if you feel your eyes seem too naked. Sweep a light olive green eyeshadow on you lids and under the bottom lashes, if desired.
3. Unexcited feeling naked? Draw a very thin line of brown eyeliner on your top lash bed. Get as close as possible to the bed. For a smoky study, rub brown shadow along the liner.
4. Coat your lips with a thick lip balm and dab sparkly gold eyeshadow on them. This will give you slight shimmer and a pretty look at the same time.
Look #2: Sophisticated
If you're a natural type of girl, this bold and sharp look will be quite the experience!
1. Apply foundation as usual and top with a lighter shade of loose powder for a unusual, smooth look.
2. Put on 3 coats of black mascara and curl the lashes. Apply a silvery gray eyeshadow from your lid to your brow bone.
3. Line the inner corner of your eyes only with dismal eyeliner. It'll make your eyes more edgy.
4. Apply a warm, red lipstick and a distinct gloss, if desired.
Look #3: Chic
Alas, my last look, but it certainly is a boho-like one!
1. Set on 2 coats of mascara and 1 coat on the bottom lashes. Sweep a matte gray shadow over the lids.
2. With a black Kohl pencil, gently sweep top lashes and smudge with a q-tip. If desired, do the same with bottom lashes but compose it lighter by using a gray Kohl.
3. Apply a nude gloss and there you go!
