Choose Ur Makeup style ds Summer 2011

Make up I should say, plays an imperative role in the entirety of one’s look.  A Stylish outfit without makeup is just like a salad without dressing…..bland.

Makeup trends and styles allow women with varied taste of fashion and ages to select makeup which suits their personality, outfit and occasion.

For this summer season here are the makeup trends and style we can choose:

Natural Makeup

              Choosing to create a light and natural makeup can be the greatest and easiest option you have.

Use a foundation to create a flawless looking skin, enhance your eyes using mascara, apply a small amount of blush on your cheekbones to emphasize them and optionally. I normally use bronze or beige color for this look.   Apply a clear lip gloss on your lips or a matte nude lipstick to make your lips stand out.

Bold Lips

     
      Bring in those kissable lips of yours with bright lipsticks.  This year you can go for bold shades such as red, raspberry, orange and hot pink. Find the hue which suits your skin tone bests.

Colorful Eyeshadows

             This season’s trend doesn’t only allow you to be bold with your lips but with your eyes as well.  If you are the person who loves to accentuate your eyes then go for this trend.

Faded Smokey Eyes

 Smokey eyes are a classic makeup style. So it’s pretty much always ‘in’ with minor changes. However, in this year’s summer season smokey eye is faded.

         

How to wear Maxi Dress

I have always been fascinated with Maxi Dress and wearing one was just a castle in the sky for me.  I thought that maxi dresses are only designed for women who are blessed with height and curves, until I’ve read some tips from various sites on who can wear and how to wear them.

Maxi dresses for petite women

·                     A maxi dress can make you look shorter and even wider when not being able to choose the best cut for your body type. Look for a maxi dress that has a full length that hugs well on your body. 

·                     You can do away with structured maxi dress that has a well defined waist (empire waist). You can also use a belt and wrap it around the thinnest part of your waist. 

·                     Elongate your body with a v neck maxi dress.

·                     Wear pumps, wedges, or high heeled sandals. 

·                     Maxi dresses with black, olive green, deep purple, and dark brown works best. Light colors are okay but as long as it is a solid color that still draws a straight line to your body. 

·                     Avoid horizontal and large patterns. 

·                     Cuts that are suitable for your body: straight, A line, and bias cut. 

·                      

Maxi dresses for plus size women

Long dresses works well with this frame because it minimizes large legs and waist. 

·                     For women who have wide or big busts, look for a maxi dress that has a thick strap or even a halter type dress. Take note that spaghetti straps makes your upper body larger because of the contrasting proportions. 

·                     Medium to large prints are good for your body type, but solid colors such as black, olive green, dark brown can help you slim down.

·                     Look for dress that has a v neck. This will help you create a vertical line. 

·                     Maxi dresses with loose-type designs can make you even bigger. Choose a dress that fits closely to your body but not to clingy to help skim your curves. 

Maxi dresses go well with flat sandals or high heeled sandals. 

So finally, my first time ever wearing my maxi dress with a 3 inches wedge sandal J

I chose this color to match the wedding motif of my friend, and chose the style & satin cloth to fit the elegance of the occasion.  Well, I hope I made the right choice J 

Festival Queens of Cebu 2011

Went to SM late afternoon today with my two friends for a quick shopping before going home.  However, our plan to just spend couple of minutes in SM was extended to hours as we saw ladies on parade with their fascinating and exotic outfit. We found out that it was a contest named “Festival Queen of Sinulog 2011” in which designers from different parts of the Philippines showcased their magnificent creation.  Sinulog is a yearly celebration of Cebu City in honor of Sr. Sto Nino which devotees from various places in the country express their praise and worship of the child Jesus through street dancing and apparently became a tourist attraction.

Lesson learned ?  Truly you can not always stick to your plan lol

Here are some pics…enjoy J
