Making the Make-up Trends for This Winter Work for you

When it comes to make-up, following the latest trends can lead to disaster if you go for the 'catwalk look'. Make up created for the catwalk should stay there, along with most of the styles used to inspire the ready-to-wear lines found in stores. However, some notable make-up trends seen at fashion shows featuring winter clothing lines can easily be adapted for less glamorous lives off the catwalk. The first of the trends was probably inspired by new artist Amy Winehouse, featuring dark bold eyeliner and mascara and a clear complexion. The look is easy to replicate, but you might want to go a little easier on the kohl if you're just going to the office.

Another trend, and more office friendly, was a clear complexion with minimalist highlights done in sparkly warm tones. Choose the eyes or lips to sparkle, not both. This is a great alternative to summer bronzer when you feel the need to shine - even when it's below zero outside. When going for this look, think soft and sexy with no defining or harsh lines and warm, muted colours.

If you want to make more of a statement when choosing your party make up, you're in luck - this season's trends allow for some bright, bold colours. You can create the same look as that on catwalks across the world - but for the best effect, make it a little less drastic. Choose blues and greens for the eyes and apply across the entire lid. Sparkly is the way to go; and to give that otherworldly effect, take the colour outside and under your eye as well. Line eyes with black or almost black liner, but don’t overdo it! Choose a nude shade for your lips if making your eyes the focal point.

Whichever colour or look you go for this season, the complexion should be kept clean with a matte look - so no cakey stuff! Choose a well-matched, light foundation without the sheen that was 'the thing' in the past. If you need a bit more coverage, you can also use a dab of powder and a bit of blusher, both in matte.

Winter is a bit harsh on skin, often making it dry and flaky. This is the time to double up on moisturizer to keep a nice, clean complexion. It's fun to try on new make-up colours and styles, but winter is a terrible time to forgo treating your skin right - which is why most <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&categoryId=61605&langId=-1">winter beauty best sellers</a> are usually skin care products.

The best way to keep your make up looking great is to take care of the skin underneath. A clear complexion makes for a much better canvas and is also a lifesaver on those days when you just can't bother to put on any make up.

Cologne Fragrance is for Men or Women

By: Timothy A. Kennedy | 01/07/2009
Many people believe that cologne fragrance is strictly for men. That isn’t true. Cologne is simply a scent product which contains less concentrated oils. Perfume typically has 15-40% aromatic components and cologne has 3-8% of the same compounds. Men, in general, wear less intense fragrances; so, as a result, the generic name for a man’s scent has become cologne.
