1.) Powder blushes can be too matte for this look—unless you have oily skin—so try the liquid Cha Cha Tint from Benefit to get that post-workout glow on both cheeks and lips. B1,480
2.) More dramatic tails—think Nike swoosh—are making the cat-eye look even stronger this year. The fun part is more and more brands are now offering unique shades for eyeliners. Stila’s indigo liquid liner is a rare jewel to find here, but you can also get the bright gold-yellow Pure Show Superslick Liquid Eyeliner from M.A.C, B1,000.
3.)The smoky-eyes trend returns with a twist. Play it up with shimmery shades like metallic silver, purple or even coral. Dare to mix some contrasting colors together like pink and green, for example. Smoky Palette from Make Up For Ever has up to eight shades, including a matte black, yellow beige, deep plum, peacock green, metallic navy blue, copper and taupe. B2,655.
4.)Red remains the most popular lip color this year. Try Flamenco Sheer lipstick from Nars, B950 or try one of Revlon’s red hues from Boots, B239.
5.)Urban Decay’s Feminine, Dangerous and Fun eye-shadow palettes have the bold shades to make your eyes pop, B1,650 each from www.sisterway.com.
6.) Having flawless skin without looking like you’re wearing makeup is always hard to achieve, but not impossible. Apart from skin-care products, make sure you opt for a lightweight foundation—like our all-time favorite, the oil-free tinted moisturizer from Laura Mercier, B1,700.
7.) Extra bold and thick brows are in, so don’t get too wax-happy. Get inspiration for this retro look from the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. A complete brow set with a few shaping stencils from Beautilicious costs B690, but you also can achieve bold brows at B400 from Kate.
8.) “Thick” and “long” aren’t the only descriptions for perfect lashes anymore. Looks that include color and feathers are trends hot off the runways. Instaglam Technicolor false lashes from Urban Decay come with four colors in a box—mix and match as you see fit, B270 on ebay. For the feathery ones, try Black Velvet Feather false lashes from Shu Uemura, about B800.
