Embrace the classics

MANILA, Philippines - It has been said that classics inspire most of the beauty trends today, which allow women to express themselves in a timeless fashion. The epitome of the classics that has withstood the test of time is the “Little Black Dress.” A must-have in every woman’s wardrobe, the Little Black Dress is an excellent foundation in building one’s look for any occasion.

One may have the right pair of shoes, bag or jewelry, but building one’s look will not be complete without the right makeup. According to beauty experts, it is best to choose  makeup that will highlight one’s best features when wearing one’s favorite LBD. Leading local cosmetics brand EB Cosmetics shares some tips to bring out the beauty in every woman who is inspired to discover the classics through her Little Black Dress.

Fab eye makeup — go smoky. Often referred to as the “Little Black Dress of makeup,” smoky eyes never go out of style. By highlighting the eyes with this method, one’s look is almost immediately given an extra “oomph.” To complete the smoky-eye makeup, glam up the lashes with the EB Advance Mascara Duo with Silicon Brush. Equipped with a silicon brush, this mascara offers easier and more effective application. It lifts and separates the lashes to prevent them from clumping that makes one achieve a fuller look, perfect for fab smoky eyes!

Invite lip color. The lips are the perfect canvas to give one’s look a pop of color. One can never go wrong with the classic shades of red that give more appeal to the LBD. But an expert’s piece of advice: if you use heavy eye makeup, make sure to tone down your lip color. The EB Famous Lipstick, specially-designed for that superstar look, is packed with moisturizers that help prevent the drying of the lips. It is enriched with Vitamin E that also serves as an anti-oxidant for those puckers.

The rest of the face matters. Nothing beats a complete look that gives one a fresh aura. If one decides to go with smoky eyes, experts say it is best to go with medium coverage foundation. The EB Powder Foundation (with UVA/UVB protection) can help one achieve a gorgeous look as it protects the skin from drying. It balances oil and moisture to keep skin looking great all the time.
