Be Expressive in the Delightful Spirit of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’
It’s pointless to deny that many women have been seduced by E.L. James’ passionate ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ trilogy. We’re eagerly longing for the movie’s premiere on Valentine’s Eve 2015, but while waiting, we all deserve to grasp the New Year by indulging and adding that little extra spark to everyday life. Applying some glam make-up can really boost and lift confidence in a quick turn.
Whatever look you’re after: be it a sexy date, a night out with the girls, or even a steamy evening at home, make-up says things about a woman that she usually does not say on her own. Here’s a roundup of gorgeous makeup looks inspired by the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ film.
It’s all in the skin
A no make-up look shouts out pure innocence and sweetness. There’s nothing sexier than luminous skin. For a look that’s a little softer and sweeter—but still insanely seductive—apply MUF Desire Me Cheek Set luminizing highlighter colour to the highest point of the cheekbones and the inner eye for that healthy glow. Add either, or mix the peachy/rosy colour to the cheeks for a highlighted flush of desire. Finishing off your look with MUF Tease Me Lip Set, apply Agua lip 3C liner over the entire lips and then coat with Lab shine D16.
It’s all in the eyes
A dramatic smoky eye makes for a smouldering stare. When creating this look, remember that less is definitely more. The key to an elegant smoky eye is to apply darker eye shadow sparingly; using lighter colours like sultry shades of grey over the lid and keeping the darker black just in the crease. Once this is applied, use a blending brush to smudge and soften the colours. Put a brighter colour, like metallic silver, in the corners of the eyes to widen them. Don’t stop there; give yourself bedroom eyes instantly by smudging black liner across your upper and lower lashlines. Use the same smudging technique with your bottom eyeliner using a cotton swab or a precision eye brush and lightly blend in a nuance of grey shadow on top. Though the focus is on your eyes, you can’t forget about your lips. Go for a nude pout to help your head-turning eyes stand out, or opt for an equally bold lipstick in a shade of a classic or deep red.
It’s all in the lips
Bold lips send a ‘kiss me’ message loud and clear. Glossy red lips are maybe the most classic of all passionate beauty looks. But it’s not the only way to score a seductive pout. Opt for a matte red from time to time, adding a sweep of bronzer to the cheeks and a subtle cat eye to liven up. Feeling adventurous? Try out a vampy look using a deep burgundy lipstick (think shades of bordeaux) MAC’s new Viva shade is a great colour that won’t rub off. Pair dark lips with a flushed cheek, as mentioned above. Absolutely perfect for special occasions!
Either way, you can never really go too wrong with a vibrant shade of red lipstick, as long as you are careful to choose one right for your skin tone.
Get in the mood to go glam.
