A romantic fairy-tale style for those special occasions when you have to look your very best. The secret is a makeup style that is beautiful and bewitching, but never heavy or harsh. Skin looks natural and fresh with just the lightest touch of a pale foundation and a dusting of blusher, while eyes are clear and captivating. The strong mahogany color of the lips strikes an unusual note and introduces a more grown-up edge. Tightly curled locks frame the whole face and help enhance the pre-Raphaclite effect.

-Styling Tips
