ALIVE & LOOKIN’ GOOD
This holiday season it’s all about eyes and sparkle. And you can’t overdue the sparkle – at any age! You just need to find the correct sparkle for you. For eyes, the best powder sparkle I have come across is in the shaker powder form. It does not crease or show the lines in the eyes and stays on all day and looks fabulous. It will brighten up any sultry, smoky eye look with a very updated touch of detail. How To Apply?: After you have applied your eye make-up, shake the sparkle powder into the lid of the compact, using a small round brush dab the sparkle powder on the eyelid. Do not stroke, just tap and dab. The eye should have an edgy style with a high sheen, wet eye look.
A solid foundation is the cornerstone to any beauty routine. Get the perfect foundation base by choosing a custom blended foundation. Custom foundations are great, because they allow you to have the perfect skin tone and look very natural, like you don’t have any make-up on at all. Before applying your base use a foundation primer for flawless skin smoothness. You want your make-up to look its best. We chose Ongriens Retexture cream with micro-spheres and lipids for optimum smooth glowing skin. Now’s the time to get the complexion of your dreams. Come in for a perfecting custom blend consultation, Tuesday through Saturday.
Recreate that natural flush of color to the skin by applying a soft-dewy shimmer pink blush. Sweetly sheer shades awaken any complexion. To update your make-up wardrobe simply sweep on a rosy blush shimmer tone to the cheek area and stoke upward. Soft pale pink shimmers work well this season and they look very youthful and updated.
Sparklingly soft lips are just a kiss away with this holiday’s newest innovations in lip options-from professionally pigmented reds to naturally lovely moisturizing semi-sheers. We have the latest serious sparkle lip-glosses and natural sheer sparkle lip treatments with super hydrating benefits. Come into The Rouge and we will help you choose the lip effect that suits you best!
