WINTER MAKEUP. MATCHING EYES AND LIPS

The Look: Make-up artists tweaked Revlon founder Charles Revson’s matching-lipsand-tips combo by designing eye-nail duos for multiple shows. “A rich jewel-tone hue on both the lids and nails exudes luxury,” says Cherie Pollard, a Creative Nail Design nail stylist, who emptied several bottles of copper polish at Bill Blass.

Werу Seen At: Charlotte Ronson, Bill Blass, Monique Lhuillier, Milly, and Vivienne Tam.

File nails into a square shape with rounded edges. The longer the length, the more feminine the effect, Pollard says, who recommends buffing nails before applying a base coat, to anchor the color on the nail.

FSHION TENDENCY. CARROT TROUSERS FASHION. CARROT PANTS ARE VERY POPULAR.

The last fashion trends of autumn 2008, winter 2009 are carrot trousers.

Despite of the renaissance in dress fashion, many women prefer wearing trousers everyday. Trousers are practical for a business woman, besides a mannish appearance is always on modern lines.

The two ascending fall styles are the easy high waisted flared trousers from boot cut to the widest 1970's flares. But the style getting attention is a slim line version of the peg-top trouser line, which was fashion in 1980s. These peg-top pants sometimes now called carrot-top pants taper to the ankle, and usually have tuck pleat fullness at the waistband. This style can be very appropriate if you have a tummy. Note that too much fullness can make a woman look frumpy. Yves saint Laurent as the centre image shows, did it best. This was sharp and sophisticated designing.

Carrot pants were seen at Yves saint Laurent, Stefano Pilati at YSL and Michael Kors's collections.

NEW YEAR PARTY MAKE-UP IDEAS. PICTURES

You have to look gorgeous on your New Year party. You can have just carnival make-up without carnival costume, but even wearing carnival costume you can't do without festal make-up. Winter holiday parties are the time to be creative with your makeup and try new and crazy things.

• Shimmer powders are easy to apply and add a light, sparkly dusting to your skin. Try dusting a translucent shimmer powder, available in loose and pressed formulas, onto your bare skin with a powder puff. Try Shimmer Powder or in Gold.

• Shimmery Lotions - sheer and unscented - can also add a sparkle to cleavage, shoulders arms, or legs when applied directly to bare skin. Try Moisturizer, but remember a little bit of shimmer lotion will go a long way, so apply it sparingly with your fingertips.

• In the end if you decide against body shimmer you can play up your eyes with some pearly shadows, such as Clinique's High Impact Shadows in Sugar Sugar, Smashing and Serenity. Just sweep the colour you chose across your lid with the provided applicator for a fuss-free but glamorous look. Do not forget to use mascara to complete your look. Try Lancome's Magnificils, or if you want a waterproof formula, then try Lancome's Aquacils.

• If you decide to play up your eyes, then be sure to keep your lips natural and glossy.

Make a Sophisticated Ponytail

How to make a Stylish Ponytail for your romantic evening. It's very easy and extremely sexual hairdo.

Whether you are off to work or a night on the town, scooping your hair up in a ponytail can give you a stylish hairdo - as long as it does not echo your playground days. See how to make your ponytail sophisticated, not sophomoric.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE HAIRSTYLE OF THE WINTER -2008-2009. PONYTAILS and lBACKCOMBING.

Backcombing is extremely popular trend this season. Ponytail is the second fashionable trend. Now if you mix up these two trends you will get the perfect hairdo.

How to make a fashionable ponytail.
- Gather your hair in your left hand (the one you don't write with; if your dominant hand is left, then reverse the instructions that follow using your right hand). Whether you use a hairbrush or just both of your hands to gather the hair is up to you. Hold it at the base (close to the scalp) in the position you are going to want it to be fastened. If you want a high ponytail, some people prefer to bend over and let their hair hang down when gathering their hair.

- Use a hairbrush to smooth it from your hairline to the base of the ponytail until it looks neat. It may help to sprinkle the brush with water or spritz it with hairspray. This step is not necessary, especially if you are in a hurry, or you are deliberately going for the messy look.

- On the right hand, stretch the hair tie/band over three of your fingers: thumb, index, and middle.

- Grab the ponytail with those three fingers and let go of it with the left hand.
- Hook your left index finger over the band (where it stretches between your index finger and thumb) and pull it over the ponytail. Keep the band stretched and simultaneously pull the rest of the ponytail through the band with your right hand.

- Twist the hair band with your left hand, fit three fingers through the loop you just made, and repeat the previous two steps (pull the band over the ponytail with the index finger of the opposite hand, then pull the rest of the ponytail through).
- Continue until there is no remaining part of the band that is wrapped around the ponytail.
- Experiment with different styles.

FASHION TENDENCY. FOLK ELEMENTS IN FASHION.

This season modern clothes are becoming variegated and unpredictable. Prints are splendid, colours are rich. Fur and fringing are in the latest fashion.

Folk motifs have influenced accessories of this season as well. Fringes become one of the main trends. Designers and modellers were inspired by national costumes embedding original ornaments, colors and patterns into must-have accessory of this winter 2009 – belts.

Folk and fringe are two things that can't exist separately. One of the most original folk style belts is probably the one in the form of a rope ending in cute fringes, like that shown by Hermes.

To many women a fashionable belt is only valuable in the sense that it serves the function of holding pants or skirt up. But, a proper fashion belt should also act as the frosting on the cake of an attractive dressed individual.

IS SATIN (ATLAS) IN FASHION? MODERN WINTER 2008-2009 TRENDS

Long time ago women wore long gloves in the summer, hats whenever they went out and patent leather only in the warm months of the year. That was yesterday. Today, all of the old rules are going or gone. Every year we see a new one broken. It was only a couple of mounths ago that satin appeared as a daytime item of dress paired with atlas handbags and accessories or other tailored fabrics.

Atlas for daytime is the newest fashion rule. This season, the high-gloss trend on everyone's hips was shining satin. Women look simply glamorous in long cream silk satin dresses, nothing can be more womanly and beautiful then atlas attire, so we should be glad that the fashion brings us such nice surprises again and again!
