Topcoat Magazing Interview- great tips!

It's been a few weeks. Craziness going on and I am gearing up for spring- are you?! The mere thought of not wearing a winter coat makes me so happy...

I did a fabulous interview with Topcoat Magazine http://topcoatmagazine.com/covering_her309a.html

My favorite part of the interview with Shauna was getting to be so general about makeup application- everyone always wants to know the trends coming out of Fashion Week, Red Carpet events, etc but in my opinion you have to know your face in terms of basics before you start wearing 'trends'.

It's like seeing belted cardigans over blouses is the new trend so you try it and feel frumpy and like your matching it incorrectly with the wrong belt, etc. If someone pointed out to you to try a thinner sweater that is less bulky with a thinner belt to give you more of a shape instead- how would you know how to modify this trend? All you would know is it didn't work for you and now you chalk it up to another trend you just read about.

I see this all the time with makeup! How can you wear purple as the new smoky eye when your eyes are pretty red inside and you'll look like a lab rat every time you wear purple?? SO- my advice is stick to what you know instinctively to work for YOU and don't get caught up in the hype of trend unless of course makeup is your 'thing'. If it's not- focus on it as an accessory to your look not the main star attraction!

You'll never look as good as you do today
