7 Must Do's For Iconic Eyes

Its all about the eyes and lips this season, however I am going to be focusing on eyes today, because you know what they say "your eyes are a way to a man's heart" well, that's what they say, anyway, let me get on in talking about this seasons top 7 trends for your eyes.

1. LINER LOVE

Singer Ciara has really intensifies her stare with a very thick eyeliner beneath her lower and upper lashes. To achieve this look line and smudge with a pencil then add a final layer on the top with a liquid eyeliner to add more impact.

2.METALLIC MUS

Copy this eye-brightening look by Applying metallic eye shadows like bronze, gold or silver on your lids. An eyeshadow primer is necessary for this look to stay looking dazzling through out your day or evening.

3. MEGA LASHES

Oh la-lashes! Want this feathery look ? glue on individual false lashes, they look way more natural than the full strips. To accentuate your luscious lashes apply a cream based, shimmery shadow. However leave your bottom lashes to the pro's :) 

4. FUN EYELINER

Pair 2 complimentary colours together to achieve Katy Perry's Rock Chic look.

Greens with purple and Teal with yellow are some nice colours that compliment each other.

5. SERIOUSLY SMOKEY

Who else, but the amazing Kim Kardashian, she's the 1st person we think of when it comes to smokey eyes.Blend shadows in varying degrees of darkness, starting with the richest near the lash lines, and continue until sexy. To make your life a lot easy try the NYX smokey eye palette.

6. CAT EYE

This look is definitely for the ladies out there with a steady hand, to achieve this cat eye look it needs to be perfect crisp lines, for easier application use a gel eyeliner with an angled brush.

7. AU NATURALE 

This look has to be the simplest looks yet this season. Ladies this will literally take you 2 minutes to achieve, all we are focusing on are your upper lashes and lids. apply a nude shimmer eyeshadow to your lids and coat your lashes with your favourite volumizing mascara and there you have it, tres au naturale.

Tom Ford 4 Less

Tom Ford is such an expensive lipstick but seriously worth the splurge, Its so creamy and lasts so long.

In Cape Town Tom Ford is hard to get hold of, I Bought mine at Staford in Joburg... I am so in love with these colours and decided to go a little mad and get the Black Orchid, Perfect for a freezing cold winters day. Black Orchid Suits a more dewy Makeup look, especially if you want to show off your lips.

We don't always have to spend R500 on Tom Ford lipstick, All my comparison below are by MAC I also find that MAC lipsticks are just as good as Tom Ford and the colours are very similar.

The Miracle Dress 4 Less

I pondered for a while about what I should Blog about today and recently Miracle Dresses are being seen everywhere over the Red Carpet, With celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Kate Winslet Rocking this look. If you ladies out there want to shed a few inches without all the hard work these dresses are a MUST buy, giving the appearance of a slimmer bod. Of course not all of us can afford a $4,000 Stella Mccartney Miracle Dress. That is where I come in. Bargain of the year, Kendal Kit.

This Dress set me back R799, not bad at all, and you will never guess where from, Queens Park....They are actually bringing in some very up to date fashion pieces, I was extremely shocked, Size ranging from 6-Plus size.
