CosmeticMall.com can help with all your beauty must haves for the newest and hottest looks! Whether you are a GLAM queen (and LOVE the rich sultry colors) or you're a fresh-faced beauty, this season is your time to shine! Forget what you were taught about eyeshadow application! It's not longer based only on the shape of your eyes. It's more focused on the look you are trying to acheive! The 'in' thing is to work with what you have and dare to express your wild side with this form of art-- MAKEUP! How exhilirating is that? LIPS Lips look sultry in rich, jewel-like red tones and gorgeous lightly tinted glosses from brands like Colorlab. A great trick to add a Christmasy twist is to layer the color with a shimmering gold like Donna Fujii's Gold Lip Frost or check out Colorlab's make your own lipgloss kit-- it is quite fun! EYES Put a sparkle in everyone's eye when you wear dazzling shades from Pupa. Smoky eyes are the craze! To acheive this look you should choose 3 shades of eyeshadow. Dark, Light & Medium. Pupa saves the day with their fabulous kits full of beautifully coordinated colors! Sexy, sophisticated city neutrals are perfect for a subtle yet stunning look like! Check out PUPA NON-CONVENTIONAL BEAUTY KIT that packs everything you could possible need into a handy virtual purse! Some perfect trios to use are SACHA'S COSMETICS (Official Cosmetics of the Miss USA Pageant-- you go girl!) in ONYX or MATTE SABLE or LANCOME EYECOLOUR - OMBRE COUTURE in spiced contour or waterfalls. Other great brands that can help you get this look are: Clarins, Donna Fujii, Lancome and Profaces TIP: For the SMOKY EYE apply the medium shade from the botton of your eyelid to the middle of your crease. Highlight the upper lid below the brow with the lightest color. Apply the Darkest shade to your lid directly above lashes. Blend well. Depending on the look you are trying to acheive you may want line your eyes with a dark liner, both above and below. To create a 'Sexy Diva' look extend the liner slightly past the outer corner of your eye! (Lancome's Artliner works great!)

By the way, Lauri CosmeticMall's TWEEZERMAN Expert is a great help with finding the perfect Tweezer! TIP: It's always best to shade them in with a brow pencil that is slightly lighter than your eyebrow color to enhance them and add depth. BODY JEWELRY? Yes, body jewelry! It's been used by some of the best recently like Gaultier and Galliano. Don't get worried. It's only temporary and in fact it's sophisticated, not trashy at all.
