RIGA - Make-up is something that characterizes our nature and preferences. In times of crisis women activate their enticement methods and want to attract more attention to their personality. The latest research shows that women try to use more bright colors, to underline their individuality during the economic crisis. The latest tendencies in make-up for Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 show that a shining, or matte skin is in favor. Fashion designers such as Emanuel Ungaro and Marc Jacobs stress for us to pay attention to matte facial skin that looks predominantly as a background for the principle facial distinctions – eyes and cheeks. However, pale skin is welcomed as well as its natural tints. Let it be smooth and clear so that the make-up could astonish with fashionable looks.
Your cheeks should be a variety of pink, pink-blue (plum) to natural (warm honey) tan hues. Your blush should match either your eyes or your lips. But in any case the cheeks should be emphasized. There are several ways for how to accent your make-up. First of all, your eyes should be extremely attractive: smoky-smoky and almost naked tones. Bright colors fit paleness. The emphasis lies more on the eye shadowing than on long eyelashes. Warning! No fake eyelashes this season. They are compensated by the shaded dark pencil at the outer corners of the eye line. Thick black and brown eyebrows are a make-up trend for 2009-2010. They brightly contour the eye shadow. Some designers present almost colorless skin-tinted eyebrows. Your lips can be the second accent in your make up. There are several ways in how to underline your beautiful smile. For pale skin, this would suit a color palette range from slightly pink to violet to fuchsia. If you have an accent for your eyes use matte lipstick. This will allow for greater focus on the eyes. Take into consideration the fact that the world famous brands are involved in the Twilight saga make-up, of bloody lipstick creations. Fall-Winter 2009/2010 make-up specialists mix colorless eyes and bright lips, glam eyes and pale lips supplemented with cheek and eyebrow hues. It’s high time we tested it and took the one matching exactly your type.
Hair. It’s of vital importance, as you are a woman, and you should keep your mark at a high level, no matter whether it’s sunny or rainy outside.

But did you know that a person uses their hands for 90 percent of the activities one does. A handshake, a flying kiss, and many more ways one communicates with hands.
