Natural vs. dark lips

I want to start by thanking everyone for the lovely comments you wrote to me on the last post.It always makes me happy to read them.But for today there is no outfit post. I decided to make one short post about beauty, and not fashion.Diversity is always good, right?And I couldn't take any pictures with this cold, rainy weather.
So, let's talk about makeup.One big trend on the Golden Globes was the natural makeup.Flawless skin and nothing too exaggerated.Another big trend in this fall that was adopted by many bloggers and celebrities on the red carpet was emphasizing your lips with a dark lipstick.

Beauty essentials

With all the cosmetics that are available on the market which are the products that any women should have in her makeup bag? I made a list with all the beauty essentials everyone should have:

1. foundation- you have to start with a good base so foundation is the first step in acquiring the perfect look. It’s very important to choose  one appropriate to your skin type and color. If you have an oily skin then go for a foundation that is oil free and has a  mattifying effect, but if you have a dry skin then choose a moisturizing foundation that illuminates your face
2. concealer  - you can use it to hide any imperfections on your skin or to mask dark circles after a long night
3. eyelash curler – I’ve recently discovered this item and I must say I’ve fallen in love with it. It works better when used on clean eyelashes and then apply mascara
4. black eye pencil -  to highlight  your eyes
5. mascara – the last touch for a seductive look
6. a lipstick or lip gloss that compliments your face. And always remember to highlight only one feature: lips or eyes. Use nude lipstick and dark eye make up or vice versa.
7. and the final product on my list: blush – use pink shades for light skin and peachy or bronzer for darker skin tones. A tip that the stylists recommend us is to match the lipstick with the blush
These are my beauty essentials. What about yours?
