Gone are the days of wearing skirts and a singlet top. Gone are they days of staying out late in the suns everlasting heat, as you enjoy a night at the beach with close friends. Gone are the dreams of being tan all winter long - yes, you may have got some colour on you but trust me, it wont last! As the falling leaves come to a stop, we accept that winter is on the way. So we begin to imagine what this coming                                                             winter will bring us.

Also... sort out the perfect winter make up colours to go with your perfect winter outfits. Purple is in this winter so here is a step by step guide to try out! 

 1. Start with clean and moisturized skin already prepped with your foundation. Apply base to eyelids (usually a white matte shadow) this will prevent the eye shadow creasing




2. Apply lighter shadow toward the inner of eye and blend upward and outward across half your eyelid.




3. Apply darker shadow across the other outer half of the eyelid and again blend upward and outward.



4. Apply a black shadow to the outer corners of the eyelid and blend upward toward brow bone. Then blend along crease line toward the inner eye.




5. For a more dramatic look, apply another layer of black shadow to the eye following the same steps as above. Apply as many as you like for your desired look.



6. Finally, apply mascara to eyelashes. Highlighter to brow bone. And lightly pencil in eyebrows to define you face.
