HOW old were you when you picked up your first makeup tool/product? Can you remember what it smelled and felt like applying your first lipstick or eyeshadow? That classic smell of mica mixed with aromatic fragrance brings back nostalgic memories. And although some may see makeup as a trendy hobby for the younger generations, today, we see women all over the world using makeup as a very powerful self-care tool because it allows us to spend quality time with ourselves. And that quality time has the ability to not only enhance our outer beauty, but our confidence, self image and self worth as well. MAKEUP, as an art form, has been around for ages, dating back to ancient Egyptian and Asian times. Classic looks that have stood the test of time still grace the faces of celebs young and old even today. Let’s take a look at 3 classic makeup looks and delve into the products needed to achieve these looks.

THE FIRST and most classic look is the bold lip and winged eyeliner. This look is for the girl who isn’t afraid to be seen. It’s definitely created to turn some heads. To create this look, apply your favorite red lipstick, like the Fenty Beauty lip paint in the color "Stunna." (1) Then, apply your favorite liquid eyeliner (2) with a fine tip to create that sharp cat eye effect. You can also soften this look a bit by smudging your eyeliner with a matte black eyeshadow, like carbon black by MAC cosmetics (3). Switch out the red for a bright pink lipstick (10) for a more youthful effect. Either way, you can rest assured that this staple look has been with us for ages and she isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Rock this look on a night out or even a daytime wedding/event.
