The Makeup Shake-Up – Reinvent Yourself with Subtle Changes

Here are a few tips to help you refresh your look with subtle changes to your makeup habits. Some habits are hard to break, but give these tips a chance and you may just like them enough to add the to your daily makeup routine.

If You Love Brown Or Black Eyeliner...

Try plum or navy
"The hint of color makes your irises more vivid without being over the top," says New York City makeup artist Carmindy, who's always up on all of the best beauty products out there. Draw a thin line along the roots of the upper lashes, then gently smudge the color with a brush or your finger to soften the look and make it smokier.

If You Love Buff Or Baby-pink Polish...

Try griege polish
The love child of gray and beige, griege is the shade of the season.  Paint two coats onto short, rounded tips for a cool look that won't raise eyebrows at work. Check out this week’s Butter London Color of the Week, Yummy Mummy!

If You Love Bronzer...

Try a tawny peach cream blush
The rosy-cheek thing is in—and it looks more natural than bronzer when temperatures drop. Plus, a cream formula hydrates dry fall/winter skin. Blend the cream high on the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion to draw attention to your cheekbones.

If You Love Red Lipstick...

Try a burgundy lip stain
Think of burgundy as red's hipper younger sister. Use a lip stain because it will last longer.
