For girls with oily skin, a matte foundation in the form of Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Airbrush Powder Foundation is best. Mineral make up is becoming popular amongst those troubled with acne. Buxom Show Some Skin Weightless Foundation is a good bet. Bobbi Brown Luminous Moisturizing Treatment Foundation is the best bet when it comes to dry skin texture.

It is the heartthrob of designers and models alike. Go get some glitter around the eyes. Such is the craze that one artist went and used three glitter dots on each eye. A small dot was rested on the inside crease of the eye and larger dots dotted the center of the eye, above the upper lashes and below the lower lashes.

It is the season of dark lip and matt. Glaze on a rich ‘Marsala’ shade (the Pantone international colour of the year 2015) from none other than L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge, a lipstick that looks earthier with brown undertones rather than the typical reds.

Rules of Perfect MakeUp
Bold or neutral, the choice of makeup for the New Year has a lot to do with your dress code. It is in fact your dress that will help determine the colour palette of your makeup. If you are eager on putting on bright and colourful outfits, then pastel makeup should be good. However, if you want to go plain, bright and daring makeup should look good on you. The formula is simple – choose products that will not only match your attire, but your complexion as well.
Also between eyes and lips, emphasize on one part of your face rather than going gaga over both. The art of looking fabulous comes one at a time, after all.
