Clinique Holiday makeup collection 2009

Clinique Holiday Makeup Look for 2009 is very classy, simple and chic.

Like all the other big make-up brands Clinique comes with pinks and purples. A less dramatic makeup look. I would say very fresh.

For eyes the eye shadows are:

Frosted Blossom
Purple Pixie
Black Orchid

The eyeliner is Cream Shaper for Eyes in Starry Plum. I must say I personally have this eyeliner and I love it. It`s very easy to play with because it`s very creamy at first. But then it gets dry and stays in place all day long.

For lip makeup there is a new lipstick color - Pinkberry. It belongs to Long Lasting Line which has a great texture. It stays on pretty much without drying your lips.

On top of the lipstick use Long Last Glosswear SPF15 in Clearly Pink.

As a lip liner the suggestion is Quickliner for Lips - Raspberry

Complete your make up with Blushing Blush Powder Blush in Smoldering Plum or Iced Lotus.

Clinique makeup is 100% fragrance free and allergy tested. It is very good quality and their stuff is reasonable in price.

Which Clinique mascara is best for sensitive eyes?

I usually use Naturally Glossy(in brown) but it has finally run out (6 months on!).
Was thinking about trying Lash Power High Definition, again by Clinique.
But as they're both expensive at £13 I thought I'd seek opinions first.
So, Naturally Glossy or High Definition?
Black or Brown?
I wear contacts and have very sensitive eyes. Almay etc etc have all irritated me, but I've had no problems with Naturally Glossy, although it is very subtle. I wouldn't mind a bit more drama as my lashes are both fair and short, but not a false look.

All Clinique mascaras are for sensitive eyes. Lash Doubling is very gentle as well, stays in place all day long, very easy too remove and gives you more definition without being too much... read more

What color eye makeup compliments blue eyes?

I've found lots of people saying:
"I really want my eyes to look beautiful. What color makeup will make my blue eyes stand out?"or
"I have really blue eyes, but I don't know what kind of eye makeup I should use to make them stand out more."
I've also noticed the same kind of question coming from young girls, middle ages women as much as from older ladies. Everyone has the same concern.... read more

What's the best powder foundation for oily skin?

I have oily skin and I've been trying to find the right powder foundation for me because liquids are just way too cakey. I've tried a lot of different ones and none of them seem to work very well. Ieven tried bare minerals (paid $63 for it thinking it would work) but after just a little while it made my skin look oily. What should I use?

First of all you have to keep in mind you need to use the right foundation or powder texture for your skin type. They have to be oil free.
Second-not all that's expansive works for your skin needs. We are all different. You have to custom fit the textures to your personal skin needs.
For ex : Almost makeup SPF15 oil free foundation from Clinique - very lightweight, very soft finish. Doesn't give you too much coverage. It's 25 CAD.... read more

Are designer makeup brushes really worth the money?

I only have one brush and it cost 20 dollars! Sure, it works fantastic, but it was so expensive! I don't want to break the bank all the time, and my other brushes are really cheap so there's a lot of fall-out. (I use a q-tip or my fingers most of the time). I'm wondering... should I really invest in designer brushes (MAC, etc) because they seem to get great reviews....?

A good makeup brush makes a big difference. MAC has good brushes but there are other brands out there they have even better brushes. For example STILA and BOBBI BROWN. Clinique makeup brushes have an antibacterial coding so they don't grow bacterias... read more

How to make my skin flawless without makeup?

I have some little pimples..and skin gone dark day by day,though m fair by born.

You need to have a good cleansing routine. It is very important to exfoliate your skin twice a day so you get rid of dead cells they sit at the surface of your skin and you won't break out. You need to use a soap for your skintype - which could be liquid or bar. The soap cleans your skin properly.( for ex Clinique- it's affordable, very efficient and last a long time)... read more
