The MANY faces of Sarah Jane!

The MANY faces of Sarah Jane!

My husband jokes that he's married to eight different women, at least! - lucky him ;)

If you haven't already guessed, I LURVE changing-up my look! I am slightly obsessed with make-up, sorry, very obsessed with make-up. One of the best parts of my day is getting ready, particularly when I'm heading out on the town. If you're wondering do I doll-up for the gym, the answer is no. I have to let my skin breath sometime! 

My current fave look for make-up, is a bright lip (red & hot pink), with a clean liner and long lashes. I do lean towards the sightly upward kick, on the outer corner of the eye. This opens up the eye and creates more of an almond shape (super sexy!). 

Brows are SUPER important as well. Good eyebrows, in my eyes, make or break a face. I am partial to a bit of pencil, and thickness is a must. When you use pencil, you have the power to fill in any in-perfections. You can also darken your brows according to your eye-shadow - taking smokey eyes to a new level! (see mine in top LH pic above). 

SJM BEAUTY TIPS for my fave look: 

If you do decide to go a sexy pink, or a shade of red for the lips, minimal eye-shadow is a must. To achieve balance and harmony in your make-up, you must dissect your face (break your features down into a hierarchy system). Eg If you want your lips to be the hero with a vibrant shade/gloss, then work backwards. 

BREAKDOWN OF APPLICATION:

- create a smooth and even layer of foundation (application - use damp sponge or brush)

- using a thin brush (liquid is ok) draw on your top liner, ending with a small, upward kick (bottom LH pic above)

- then, using a non-clump mascara, comb it through your lashes evenly (curling before hand also works well) 

- of course, finish off with a slight bronzed glow, and a vibrant rose blush (slightly under the cheek bone - do this fish face when applying your blush, it will make it easier to shade/contour) 

*Keep this look clean and classic. Your lips are the hero and will naturally make your eyes POP! For a red lip keep the hair groomed and elegant. Off the face, in a bun or pony tail, looks stunning.

I will blog about more application techniques (in lots of detail!) shortly.
