 Poppy red lipstick
Red lipstick is sexy for sure. But lipstick that's a
bold poppy shade is too strong," Choose pearly shadows
and highlighter for fair skin and gold ones for darker
complexions.

 Electric purple lipstick
This look won't exactly work for the office. But
electric purple lips is sure too much but its' kid of
fun like parties, showbiz.... You should probably
skip that in real life unless you want to look like
Barbie. |
 Copper eyeshadow
Put your played-out gold or silver shadow aside:
Smoldering copper is sexier and more grown-up. Pair it
with smudgy black liner to give definition to your eyes.
Try L'Oréal Paris HIP Studio Secrets Professional
Metallic Duos in Charged with Smashbox Limitless
Eyeliner in Onyx. |
 Sky blue eye shadow and liner
Sky blue shadow is back.
Makeup artist Dick Page painted a graphic line of
Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trios in BL310 Punky
Blues along the crease at Michael Kors, while makeup
artist Tom Pecheux applied a metallic hue on lids at
Anthony Vaccarello. Keep the shade from looking too
retro by wearing it as an eyeliner or pair sky blue shadow with black liquid liner. |
 Platinum
eyeshadow
Platinum shadow makes your eyes look huge, and it works
on fair complexions that can't wear copper. Makeup
artist Peter Philips applied a platinum shadow (Chanel
Illusion d'Ombre Eyeshadow) all the way up to models'
brows at Chanel's spring 2013 show. You can get the same
eye-opening effect by blending a chrome across lids and
onto the corners of eyes. "It's really important to stay
away from shimmery blush or lip gloss.

 Emerald nail polish
Pantone says the color of the year will be emerald. We
say thank you, Pantone. The vibrant green looks awesome
as eyeliner. Stick with shimmer-free cream shades, like OPI
Nail Lacquer in Jade Is the New Black, Rescue Beauty
Lounge Nail Polish in Recycle, or Essie nail polish in
Pretty Edgy.
 Opaque white nail polish
Take that idea, dial up the
sophistication factor about 100 percent, and you'll end
up with one of the hottest nail shades for 2013. But you
don't want to look like you're actually wearing the
correction fluid, so choose a nonstreaky nail polish
formula with a shiny finish, like Sally Hansen Hard As
Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in White On.
 Charcoal
nail polish
Here's the thing about a lot of trendy nail colors:
It's sophisticated, chic, and works for any age
or skin tone. But it can go edgy, too: Look for a
charcoal with a hint of silvery gray shimmer, like OPI
Nail Lacquer polish in Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees, a dark
gunmetal shade that manicurists brushed on nails at
Jason Wu.

 Sheer plum blush
It's a water-based stain that gives cheeks a subtle
lit-from-within glow. What it does is this lightweight,
hydrating cheek stain creates a radiant, natural color
that lasts all day.
"Sheer plum blush gives cheeks a flushed, fresh,
athletic look," says makeup artist Quinn Murphy. Tap a
cream or stain, like Hourglass Aura Sheer Cheek Stain in
Rouge, onto the apples of the cheeks.
|
 Pearly highlighter
Pearly gold or silver highlighter isn't
new. But the way you want to wear it is different: Sweep
it across your lids and cheekbones for an allover
lit-from-within glow. Choose white or silver shades like M.A.C. Cream Colour Base in Pearl and Jouer Highligher
in Camellia for fair skin, or a gold one like Urban
Decay Urbanglow Cream Highlight in Sin for darker
complexions.
