Teen Beauty 101: Jewel too Cool

Sparkle, shimmer and shine in the hottest makeup trend to hit the stores this season. It's all about creating that gorgeous jewel-look that will have you looking and feeling like the price of its worth! So, glam up with amethyst purple to sapphire blue in order to express your cool mood this autumn/winter.

Our autumn/winter forecast: keep the look smart and chic with rich tones and a warm face.

Covergirl Trublend
I really loved this loose powder! It was amazing. This had great coverage and looked super natural. Kudos to Covergirl!

Ash 4/5
RRP: $14.25

Covergirl Eye Enhancers Eyeshadow
These eye shadows come in a palette with 3 tones of colour e.g. white, light blue and dark blue. The white colour can be used as a base or applied under the eyebrow. The darker colours are applied on the inside of the eyelid and then the lighter blue is applied to the outer side of the eyelid, giving the effect that your eyes are larger and more open. These colours are beautiful. The only down side to this product is that you must re-apply it every few hours or so as it tends to slide off during the day.

Lizzi 3/5
RRP: $10.95

Covergirl Perfect Blend Eye Pencil
This eyeliner is very easily applied, so you won't have to cry when you put it on. It does not clump, and if you find the line you have drawn too harsh, you can use the sponge on the end of the brush to slightly smudge the line, giving a soft, smoky effect. The black/brown colour is great for day time as it is not too obvious as plain black and has a more subtle, natural effect. We would definitely recommend this eyeliner!

Sarah 3/5
RRP: $11.95

Covergirl Volume Exact Mascara
This mascara lengthened and thickened my already massive eyelashes. It wasn't clumpy or chunky either. It didn't weigh my eyelashes down like other mascaras usually do. The mascara kept my eyelashes curled all day, I was very pleased with this product.

Lucy 3/5
RRP: $15.95

Australis Nail Polish
This nail polish dried very quickly and wasn't the slightest bit clumpy and great colour. The nail polish didn't irritate my skin as others have and it made my nails feel thick as well, which was an awesome bonus!

Jess 4/5
RRP: $7.95

 
Jewel too Cool Tips

Do: Use a coloured eyeliner. Deep purple eyeliner looks great on the upper lid and will make your eyes a stand out. Apply corner to corner as close to the lash line as possible. Remember to keep the eyeliner to a minimum as you don't want it to overtake your new dazzling jewel look.

Don't: Use same makeup for day to night. Remember the bright light of day will lighten up your face naturally. Subtle is sheike. Keep your dark shades for the night where you can shine through the moonlight!

Do: Opt for bright red lips. Think old Hollywood! The scarlet red will compliment the warmth of the eyes and cheeks.

Don't: Store your makeup in direct ray of sunlight. Keep it in a case in a cool cupboard to better preserve the quality of your prods, to last you throughout this cool season.

Pro Tip: Keep dark tones to bottom of the eye. Start on the inner bottom corner and work your way out. This will define your eyes and even out the colour. Mix and match your outfit to your makeup to complete your jewel sensation.
