I’ve never been a make up girl. I’ve gone through my phases, of course. My high school emo phase that led to me perfecting my eyeliner-with-smoky-purple-eyeshadow look (oh. my. god. why.). My increasingly desperate attempts to find a foundation that doesn’t end up looking, and feeling, like mud.
Some girls just aren’t meant for make up. I might be one of them. From my acne prone & lighter-than-ivory-pale skin to my baby face, make up is either too dark, too adult, or “too much.” As Tyra Banks occasionally mentioned on America’s Next Top Model, some people’s faces just don’t hold make up. The experience, I can tell you, is maddening. And it made me hate make up.

Pantone, the world authority on color, always gives fashion and beauty mavens an additional reason to look forward to the start of each new year. While the proclaimed Color of the Year doesn’t always influence our style decisions year-round, it’s still fun to take note and jump on the trends that pop up as a result! This year, we’re ready to take things up a notch with Tangerine Tango – and if you’re unsure about how to incorporate the in-your-face orange shade into your regular beauty routine, Pantone itself is offering to help out with an exclusive upcoming collection with Sephora, due out in March! The collection will feature a series of makeup and beauty accessories in tangerine and orange shades done right, but if you can’t wait until March, I’ve compiled a couple choice picks to get you started! Whether you’d rather play it safe with a more sheer tangerine gloss or blush, or would rather jump right into the trend with orange shadow for a playful pop of color, you’ll soon find that orange shades are much more flattering than they sound… when done right!

One editor goes to makeup school and comes back with a notepad full of professional makeup techniques — steal her tips
|
|
This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup article Makeup school is not only time-consuming, but it can cost up to $6,000 for just one introductory course. Becoming a professional makeup artist is no small feat, which is why we sent one beauty editor to three different makeup academies for you. Now you can learn how to apply your own makeup like a pro without spending the time or the cash yourself. You can thank us later.

I love black eyeliner and white eye shadow, but I particularly love them together. I was on Pinterest the other day setting up my “CC Beauty Live Inspiration” board, follow me and CollegeCandy and you can pin stuff at us! I came across this cool eyes make up photo above, which looked super easy and seemed like the perfect winter eye look.

Supermodel (and new mom!) Miranda Kerr is known for her sexy-yet-sweet doll-faced looks, and she wowed at the Museum of Modern Art’s 4th Annual Film Benefit with a considerably understated beauty look. With minimal makeup and bold, natural brows, her knack for natural beauty proves that you don’t need need over-the-top smoky eyes or siren-red lips to rock a beauty look worthy of the Victoria’s Secret angels! And while it takes quite the confident lady to make waves on the red carpet nearly bare-faced, you can fake the naked look and enhance your prettiest features with the right products in your arsenal! First, be sure to fight shine with a lightweight, mattifying loose powder foundation, which will prove especially vital for photo opportunities! Since brows will be the focus, make sure they’re in tip-top shape with the help of a brow-defining set like Estee Lauder’s, complete with a groomer wand. Keep eye makeup simple and pretty – line the inner rims of your lids with a white liner to make eyes appear bigger and brighter, and highlight the corners of your peepers with a shimmery beige shadow like Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Wash in Champagne. Finally, top off with a few coats of some statement-making mascara – my personal favorite is Dior Blackout for stand-out lashes without needing falsies!
