Long thick Eyelashes
When have you ever seen long, thick eyelashes not looking good? If you are blessed with this gorgeous trait then consider yourself touched by God, Buddha, Krishna, or whatever you believe in. For the rest of us mere mortals, mascara is our saviour! The best part is the technology is getting better and better, so in no time and effort, you'll be batting lovely long lashes and the attention it brings. Our two favorite mascaras that give you sky high lashes and use the newest technology are Shu Uemura Ultimate Expression Mascara ($23.00) and Dior's Ultra Lengthening Curving Mascara ($24). You'll be amazed how long your lashes look-great volume, not clumpy and great lengthening. If you're wanting something a little more economic, try Urban Decay's Skyscraper Mascara ($17.00), using Shu extract which promotes the health of your hair, it will rival anything you have tried in the past.
Note: If you want something a little more longstanding, try eye lash extensions, they last for a couple of weeks and look incredibly natural. For our canadian and japanese readers, Karin Shoji does wonderful lash extensions!
Red Lips
Year after year, dramatic red lips are a look that never goes out of style. Why? Because deep down inside we are all drama queens...no that's not it..more because regardless eye, skin or hair color, there is a shade of red that will be right for you. You don't even have to have a sexy pout (although it helps), and you can pull of this look. Remember the cardinal rule though, if your going with dramatic lips, tone down and minimize the rest of your makeup, so your lips really stand out. Our favorite reds are definitely found in Chanel's Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour ($30.00), lustrous color and oh so comfortable, you'll find a red that will make your lips smile. If you want a more economic option, then go for a red in the MAC Lipstick Collection ($14US/$16.50CDN). We've said it before and we'll say it again-it's what made MAC famous!

Smoky Eyes
This choice is a little more controversial, because smoky eyes does seem to go in and out of style, but in recent seasons, (especially for night), it always looks hot. When done right (meaning not racoon like), smoky eyes will make any woman look sexy and stylish. The key to a sexy smoke out is blending. Make sure you blend and match the colors well, so it looks flawless and natural. Our favorite products to give the ultimate in smoky eyes are Chanel's Les Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in Smoky Eye ($56.00)(white, silver, grey and black), the perfect shades for a smoke out, and NARS Black Eye Set ($60.00) (white and black shadow, black mascara, eyeliner and eye makeup remover), contains everything you'll need to maximize your sex appeal. If you want a more economic option (that even comes with a talking step by step guide to help you perfect those eyes), go for one of Stila's Smoky Eye Palettes ($40.00). In five easy steps and in under a minute, you'll have those sex kitten eyes you've dreamed of.
Natural Makeup
There's something downright stunning about a woman who's confident enough to not have to wear much makeup. It's a hard look to pull off, but more often than not, most women look better the more natural they go. The key is to have your skin looking flawless and keep your foundation and concealer light. Try laying off the heavy blush, eyeliner and lipstick and go for some light foundation, mascara and lip gloss-you'll be surprise how good it can actually look. For flawless skin, go for Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation ($56.00)-lightweight, oil free with a natural finish, your skin will look radiant! For lips, try Lancome La Laque Fever ($26US/$30CDN), brilliant color and fantastic shine, you're lips are set for the next 8 hours, so you can get on with your busy day and looking good doing it!
