Winter’s most wearable looks, as seen on actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Thandie Newton
GWYNETH PALTROW
SMOKY EYES, PEACHY CHEEKS
Dark, kohl-ringed eyes are one of the oldest tricks in the book for a glamorous evening look, so it was great to see the return of the seductress for winter. And, combined with peachy cheeks, the look is surprisingly soft. For the best result, brush warm apricot tones across your cheekbones and sweep black eyeshadow liberally over your upper eyelids. Finish by applying black eyelines on your upper and lower lids and several layers of mascara. Get the look with MAC Carbon eyeshadow and Estée Lauder signature Silky Powder Blush in Sweet Nectar.
THANDIE NEWTON
BERRY-STAINED LIPS
Stained lips are a foolproof way to enhance your natural lip color without the shiny look you get from most lipsticks.
Berry -stained lips are a top trend for Winter, but if you don’t suit bright colors, go for a more subtle peachy shade. Lip stains are set to be a hit in 2009- watch out for specially designed, stay-put formulas from the big beauty brands. In the meantime, get the stained effect by applying a matte or highly pigmented lipstick with your fingertips, beginning at the center of your lips and working outwards. Get the look with Clarins Joli Rouge in Raspberry or Elizabeth Arden’s Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick in Wildberry Cream.
