Makeup must-haves: black felt tip liner, highlighter, and under-eye brightener. In makeup, copper is the color of the season. A nice thin and extended black or dark brown liner to enhance the eye is recommended. Red is hot for the mouth. For hair, go for put-up styles and tied hair. Hair accessories are big – use one small but eye-catching accessory.

Men point

Men, too, can check in for some beauty treatments before the season starts. The hairstyle for the season is neat, combed, and wet look styles. Messy is out. Tame or trim the beards.
