Am excited about 2017! 

Makeup industry watchers and trend setters are already giving us a head start on what to expect in 2017 and some of them are:

~ Pink is in! Oh yes! So calling all pink lovers – start collecting every shade of pink makeup imaginable.

~ Gloss is back! So say goodbye to matte lipsticks that dominated 2016 and say welcome back to gloss and high shine. 

~ Simple, natural and healthy makeup look is in so it’s time to tone down the contouring and excessive makeup.

– Color pairing is back so you can pair your lip color with your blush and eye makeup without looking too blended. 

~ Good news, liquid liners are still in.

There are many more new makeup trends for 2017 so please do share. Here is my take on them:

I kept this look simple, using pink as my signature color for the eyes and lips. If you normally can’t do without contouring, you can still achieve the same face slimming effect by focusing more on highlighting than the shading. Good highlighting makes for a perfect contour so get creative.

For this makeup, I used:

Cover girl concealer

Maybelline dream matte foundation

BellaPierre warming bronzer instead of loose powder

BellaPierre highlighter and illuminizer 

Sleek liquid felt tip liner and mascara

Flori Roberts blush

Cover girl lipstick
