Things to think about when creating SJP

I have just been asked today by one of my clients - how do I achieve the SJP look?

Well after careful consideration I would like to being by saying....not everyone can confidently wear such a dark smoky look, especially as the skin around our eyes becomes more delicate and the colour of our skin changes. Don't forget you hair colour plays apart in which colours work best for you too.

In a nutshell, here are some tips that might help!

1. Try charcoal instead of black. Some mature goldy blondes can still carry black eye make-up well however if we tend to have darker hair or really blonde bright hair, it may look a little harsh.
2. Instead of black eye shadow, try using a charcoal colour around the eye and ensure that you blend the edges well.
3. Try not to blend the dark colour too far up the eye (toward the brow), you don't want to close your eye in. You also don't want to draw attention to any unnecessary loose or crepe like skin.
4. Try using a silver or white to add a little highlight around the eye to brighten it up a bit. Just under the brow bone works particularly well and on the centre of the eye lid (to make it pop)
5. Eyeliner on the rim of your eye doesn't necessarily close it in - it can provide definition that makes the white of your eyes stand out. Give it a try - this is the only way you will know.
6. Another thing to consider is taking the eye liner all the way around the eye - no gaps with confident lines.
7. If you do go dark on the eyes, just remember to balance it out with a lighter colour on the lips.
8. Oh yes, one more thing - should be up the top....don't forget your eyebrows. These should be coloured a similar colour to your hair.

Good luck and remember - we are only a click away if you need help! www.oradess.com
