New Year’s Makeup Tutorial

newNew Year’s is always the time to get your party on, and here is an easy and chic makeup tutorial to ring in 2010! Follow these simple steps from my San Antonio wedding makeup experience.

• Start out with a light mineral makeup foundation or tinted moisturizer to even out the tone of your skin. There is no reason for heavy or cakey makeup this year!
• For a fresh look, rub a cream or gel blush with clean fingertips into the apples of your cheeks, and blend well.
• The eye makeup is where it’s at for this celebratory look, so start out by applying black eyeliner with a contour makeup brush to the upper and lower lash line.
• From there, take a metallic eyeshadow of your choice, and apply to the outer half of your eyelid. On the inner half of your eyelid, use a neutral gray or champagne color to blend well.
• Blend both of these colors into the brow bone with an eyeshadow color that matches your skin tone.
• Last of all, create a smoky affect by smudging the eyeliner on the lower lash line, and apply mascara.
• Pair this with a nude lip for the perfect party look for 2010!
