RAE COSMETICS BEAUTY TIP OF THE WEEK.....

A “smoky eye” always seems to be a favorite, this season try putting away the gray, black and dark brown eye shadow. Instead, try green, blue, purple or pink. Blending is the key to a beautiful “bright smoky eye”. There should be a smooth transition from color to color, no edges, like smoke fading.

Pair a very light base color with a rich, bight shade. Blend, blend, blend and if you are wondering if you have blended enough, blend some more.
If the idea of bright colors scare you, chose a color that is a bit more muted, with a golden undertone that compliments your skin. This makes it easier to blend and may make you feel more sophisticated, not shocking.

Try these fabulous bright but wearable shades, with beautiful golden undertones. Rae Cosmetics, Morning Dew, Pool Hoppin’ and Skinny Dippin’.

New to Mystyle-Austin: Cosmetic and Beauty Tips by Rae Cosmetics.....

The most important element of a flawless face is beautiful glowing skin. Instead of picking a color exactly the shade of your face, try to match the tone of your shoulders and chest. The skin on your face is often a bit lighter from washing, exfoliating and wearing sunscreen. By matching your décolletage you will have an even look.

Choose a water-based mineral tint, like Rae Cosmetics Climate Control. It is a foundation, non-chemical sunscreen and antioxidant moisturizer all-in-one. Light feeling and natural looking, skin looks fresh, clear and incredibly vibrant. The water-resistant formula stays on all day, even when you sweat.

For a high fashion look, consider adding a pair of printed tights such as plaid or a black and white graphic print. Keep the peep toes, add a great pair of earrings, and Santa is sure to leave something extra in your stocking. Dress by LOVE MOSCHINO available at MISSBEHAVE for $405. Style Carefully!!!
