Two’s Company

Thicker Lashes  - After two coats of black Lancome Definicils Mascara, she uses a brush to paint the tops of eyelashes with metallic  L’Oreal Paris Infalliable never fail lacquer line 24H in Bronze.

The happiest red lip - start with a layer of the sheer pink lip smacker Dr. Pepper lip balm, then use your finger to press an intense red coal red eyeshadow on the center of the mouth.

The longest lasting blush  -  Apply a cream blush and then use a blotting papers to pat against the cream blush. The sheets will remove the sheen, dewy finish but leave behind a natural looking flush.

Master Class : Tomboy Style

1. Choose a well cut blazer - go for clean styles that aren’t nipped in at the waist and that have a defined line between the shoulder and the front of the lapel.
2. When it comes to boyfriend jeans, be picky - a truly straight cut and a natural - looking wash are key
3. Add a personal touch - something that adds a personal touch to your clothes, your initials
4. Visit the men’s section - wear a menswear suit with heels or chunky oversize sweater with a little short skirt.

Elle Accessories Spring/Summer 2013

Trends this season-

“Fresh Direct -  From cheery mod checks to poppy pastels and sharp stripes, the season’s best bags and shoes send a crisp, uncluttered message.

Block Buster - Wear them with everything: Color blocking takes an understated turn in low key hues of black, white, and tan.

In the Clear - Sometimes transparency is the best policy. Powder-pink shades meet see-through touches for a light as air effect.

Power Point - Save ballet slippers for the studio and make a sharper statement in pointed toes graphic flats.

Mint Condition - How sweet it is! Accessories go soft this spring with sugarcoated hues.

Clean Break - Streamline your look with pristine structured bags and optic-white heels.

Slide Rule - Business in the front, party in the back: The season’s spiked mules offer a cutting edges alternative to the basic stiletto.”

Play Match Maker with these trends-

“a. the day mini + the flat clutch = a slim, brightly colored clutch pops against the season’s pared-down separates.

b. the deep v + the gold collar = sleek, high drama necklines give these clavicle-framing necklaces plenty of room to shine.

c. the summer shift + the hoboy = a textured, oversize holdall add hardworking heft to the relaxed vibe of jeans and easy dresses.

d. the high-slit skirt + the gladiator heel = pair a graphic cutout boot with an eclectic skirt, rather than the obvious sexy dress.

e. the crop top + the oversize hoop = sparkling, swingy earrings will draw all eyes to your face - even when abs are on display

f. the kimono + the mini clutch = an evening bag with an edge makes a cool partner for romantic dresses”
