Kou Naturals Almond Mineral Foundation
Look for gold, plum and bronze tones with creamy sheer lip colors for this Holiday Season.
As we all know, we become a shade or two lighter than normal during the winter months. So, when you're shopping for foundations, get at least two shades to work from. By getting two different shades, you elimate the need to make another purchase when your natural tone shifts from season to season. Foundations can be very expensive. Get one that's your natural tone and one a shade or two lighter for the winter (a shade or two darker for the summer) months. This way you can blend and contour your look to give a natural look throughout the season.
For a flawless look, keep it fresh and simple. I like to use mineral cosmetics because it feels lighter. Plus, it's great for my skin. One of my favorite find is Kou Naturals' Almond Foundation.
Foundations: Apply the lighter foundation to your T-zone. With a kubuki brush, blend outward with the darker foundation to the outside of the face.
Eye Shadows: Use a highlighter eye make up to brighten your eyes by applying it on the brow bone. Use a light matte color if you're over 35 or a shimmer if you're under 35. Shimmers will hightlight wrinkles and creases. Apply a golden eye shadow to the folds of the lids blending for a soft look over the folds. Creating a uniform transition from base to brow bone. Apply a small strip of plum eye shadow to the base. Use a dark brown eyeliner on the upper, lower lids and eyebrows. Apply black mascara on lashes.
Blush: With a blush brush, blend bronze blush to the apples of cheeks.
Lips: Apply bronze lip liner and a sheer lipstick or gloss to finish the look. Bronze with yellow undertone really give a healthy and natural glow to Asian skin.
I love this look. This is one of my favorite looks during the day. Gold, plum and bronze are all colors of the holiday seasons. Avoid dark bronze with red undertones, this is not complimentary to Asian skin. Any look can be achieved with a little practice and proper lighting.
