Make Up Games and Funky Nails


I've made up my mind this week. I’m going for a manicure and I’m not going to leave until I have some seriously funky nails. I've been minding my own business with all of these various make up games, waiting for a look that suits me, and I think this is it. I want to paint my nails something really popular and stylish and apparently that means I need to find something a bit darker than what I’m used to. I, for one, am all about it!

In the winter my skin tends to look a bit extra pale and wimpy. Pairing it up with a dark polish like a burgundy or even a brown would make my nails really stand out and look great on my pale hands. I think the dark nail polish also helps jewelry to stand out, and with some of the various make up games that are so every the top right now, having something a bit lower key is easier for me to handle at least – I can paint my nails, even if I can’t paint glitter on my eyelids.

Make Up Games and Lipstick


Lipstick is an interesting item to follow over the years. For a very long time it was the go-to item in a woman’s make up bag. You simply didn't leave the house without your lipstick on. Generally speaking back then it was a bright color as well. Then we moved into the frosted lipsticks and finally into lip glosses.  Over the years we've seemed to grow more casual about lipstick and what is considered fashionable and attractive.

Now, I’m pleased to say, we’re going back to the bright lipstick shades of the past. Bright red lips are once again considered sexy and attractive. That makes them an excellent candidate for make up games. As it turns out, not every woman looks good in the same shade of red lipstick. This is why there are so many different shades available.

Play make up games with the sample shades on your pinky finger to find the ideal shade for your skin tone. Then, buy the tube and continue to try out colors at home until you find the one that makes you feel confident, sexy and flirty at work – you’re good to go!

Make Up Games and Sweat


Sweating is undignified and not something we like to talk about very much. Unfortunately, sweating is also very much part of life for many of us. There isn’t much we can do to make the body sweat less short of getting acclimated to a new climate, but sweat does more than make us uncomfortable. It can also destroy your make up games.

Sweaty make up games are the worst because they feel gross, and the sweat building up behind your makeup can also make you break out. The trick to dealing with heat, sweat and make up is to choose your make up items carefully. For example, you’ll want to leave your skin free to breathe. A lightweight powder will help control shine without clogging pores. A bit of waterproof mascara will darken lashes and not rub off with sweat either. Also consider leaving your face bare in the heat of the day and just wearing makeup games at night to avoid sweating the make up off as well!

Make Up Games and Bright Eyes


It seems like everywhere I look these days there are bright eyes and even brighter eye shadow. The 1980's had bright blue eye shadow. but even those shades of blue are nothing compared to the bright colors that are dotting the eyelids of the fashionable set. Look in any fashion magazine or check inside the neighborhood high school and you'll find hot pink and crystal green eye shadow colors.

The bright colors are fun to wear and they make your outfit look even more interesting. If you were to put on a bright green sweater, you can easily complement that look with bright green eye shadow. Or if green isn't your favorite shade, you can enjoy the same amount of fun by wearing blue, purple or virtually any metallic shade you could ever possibly imagine. When it's all said and done, the make up games create a fabulous look.

Make Up Games and Fashion


It’s very fashionable right now to have a bunch of different eye shadow colors competing on your eyelids. While it may be stylish, it’s bound to go down in history as a fun time period – much like the blue eye shadow of the 1980’s was so much fun for fashion as well. Make up games are always a great deal of fun, and if you like playing with cosmetics, you can online imagine the possibilities that can come from exploring the options that our current cast of colors can bring.

When you start to play with eye shadow in particular during your make up games, it used to be that eye shadow should match your face. Now, however, we’re encouraged to make sure that your eye shadow matches your outfit or fashion – this is courtesy, of course, of the many bright color options available. If your outfit is green, your eye shadow should contain a bit of the green. If it’s blue, be sure to blend in some blue as well. It’s all an adventure and that is what makes it so much fun!

Make Up Games and the Office


I read an article the other day that said you must wear make up to be taken serious in the office. I’m not sure if I agree completely, but there is probably some merit to the article. In this particular piece, the author was trying to help young people understand how important it is to dress well and play make up games. I think it’s all a matter of opinion.  There are many successful women who don’t slather on a full face of make up every day anyhow.

I don’t normally wear make up to work, so playing intense make up games every day would drive me nuts. What I do use, however, is a heavy duty moisturizer and highlighter to ensure that my face looks healthy and clean. A bit of mascara and some lip gloss completes the look. If you have nice skin tone you can present a clean and healthy face to the world every day without layers of make up. Think of this as make up games for good reason.
