Soft Classic Makeup

Your makeup will be the watercolor effect, which is artfully blended in circular motions. Soft color on the eyes (within your palette), rosy cheeks, and slightly glossy lips are used to suggest your Yin undercurrent in the most subtle fashion and complete your head-to-toe appearance most graciously.

A well-polished makeup is a vital touch. Soft to bright shades, beautifully blended in a watercolor effect, creates your most elegant, slightly feminine face. A hint of sparkle around the eyes, rosy cheeks within your palette colors and slightly glossy lips complement your Image Identity to perfection! Your effect of your eye makeup is matte with a slight sparkle or frost added as if an afterthought. The highest concentration of iridescence should remain in your highlighter. Always add moderate gloss over your lipstick.

AVOID: Heavy contouring with sharp edges (too stark). All Smoky colors (too cold). All Neutrals (too aging). Overly sparkly makeup (unsophisticated). Minimal, "no makeup" Looks (too harsh).

This is the best way for the world to see your stunning combination of understated sophistication and refined femininity. We always like to see just a bit of the charmer, the enchantress, the alluring angle (visually expressed through the soft touches and rounded or flowing shapes), without upsetting the basic foundation of the traditional, the elegant, the everlasting (which is visually expressed through your use of controlled lines and softly understated tailoring).

Be careful not to go overboard with your Romantic touches. When you opt for the overtly glamorous, instead of refined sophistication you become a little gaudy.
Too much jewelry, too clingy dresses, over-glitzy makeup and too many curls look silly on you. Your underlying Classic approach to your overall appearance is essential.

On the other hand, please don't go to the opposite extreme by trying to "strengthen" your features. The result here is not at all authoritative, it's simply frumpy and inelegant! You negate your most powerful tool this way, which is your soft-spoken sophistication. When you overly tailor and sculpt yourself with excess angles and geometry, the very best part of your being is totally obscured. (Also, the softer lines of your body are not well served by straight lines; they tend to make you look a little dumpy!)
