Trend alert: Color play, 5 ways

MANILA, Philippines – The only makeup trend that we see every season is healthy, beautiful skin. This puts an emphasis on having a healthy diet, a good amount of exercise and the right attitude to deal with everyday stress.

With healthy skin, you already have a good base with which to work different kinds of makeup and create different looks. Freelance makeup artist Diane Lorenzana shows us how to create different looks to reflect your ever-changing moods.

1. THE LOOK: Bright red lips

The fastest way to get noticed is to wear red lipstick. Red lips are a classic.

Seen at: Missoni, Rochas, Dries Van Noten, Jason Wu, Prada 

Products used: Mac cherry lip pencil and red satin lipstick 

Make-up tip: Line the lips using the lip pencil before filling it in. Use foundation or concealer to fix smudges.

2. THE LOOK: Feelin’ blue

Go for something different: try lining your lash with a bright color, like blue. You can also place this on your inner lash line, whether at the top or bottom. 

 

Seen at: Altuzarra, Stella McCartney

Products used: Urban Decay eye primer potion and blue eyeliner

Make-up tip: Use primer to make the eyeliner color pop more. 

3. THE LOOK: Brown smokey eyes

This is the smokey look perfect for daytime. If you want to go more sexy and seductive, go for black.

Seen at: Lanvin, Gucci, Roberto Cavalli, Vera Wang, Versace

Products used: NARS duo eyeshadow in Surabaya, Laguna Bronzer and Orgasm blush; Mac Rice Paper eyeshadow; Make Up Store Crust lipstick; Maybeline Black Cell eyeliner

Make-up tip: Stick to one or two brown shades. Highlight the brow bone. 

4. THE LOOK: Natural

The skin also needs a break from heavy, layered makeup. This allows you to show off your natural, healthy glow.

Seen at: Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang, Balmain, Diane von Furstenburg, Jill Sander, Marni, Narciso Rodriguez, 3.1 Philip Lim, Rag and Bone, Rodarte, Valentino

Products used: Mac Studo Fix powder, Mac Melba Matte powder blush, Montego Bay pure matte lipstick

Make-up Tip: Keep it matte, if you want to achieve a natural glow. Stick to peach-pink tones. Powder foundation is a nice alternative to liquid foundation. Use a wet sponge to create a sheer effect.

5. THE LOOK: White-out

This look can make eyes seem bigger. White eyeliner also makes eyes brighter and adds a certain glow overall.

Seen at: Marc Jacobs, Giambattista Valli, Louis Vuition, Bottega Venneta

Products used: NYX white jumbo eye pencil, Mac coffee eyeliner pencil, Maybeline Cat-eye mascara, Bobbi Brown blonde eyebrow pencil.
