Winter Skin Rescue: Foundation for Dry Skin
Eyeshadow Stick Application
Eye shadows have been a key element of makeup for over a century. They first became available to consumers in 1910 with basic colors like brown, gray and black which were commonly applied with brushes or fingers. Since then, eye shadow has been a constantly evolving product with trends going from matte to shimmer, bright colors to muted tones and highly pigmented to very sheer.
Over the years, a variety of trends have come and gone from unblended creases with white highlights in the 60s to shimmering blues and greens in the 70s to dramatic yellows and purples in the 80s. What’s really exciting is that we now live in an “anything goes” era where influencers and artists are wearing and applying styles from every era of history. There’s nothing off limits.
How to Apply Eyeshadow on Mature Skin
Our more mature consumers have asked if there are any restrictions on use for mature eyes. The answer is no, there are no restrictions! The ColorLuxe Eye Shadow Stick has beautiful optic diffusion and it does not bring out wrinkles or texture. If you want to minimize texture, use the more matte shades in places like the inner corner of the eye or the brow bone.
Finally, don’t forget to use the sharpener at the end of the stick if you want to get a finer point for more specific applications. But when you sharpen, always clean the sharpener afterwards to keep it from getting messy. Don’t press too hard when sharpening as the product is very soft. Sanitize the pencil and the sharpener with alcohol or submerse the sharpener in a bowl of water and wash it.
How to Find Your Own 3 Words
Ready to give it a go? Below are some ways to discover your own style words. Do one, or better still, do all of them and make your decision at the end of the process.
Option 1: The Inspiration Board Method
Ready to give it a go? Below are some ways to discover your own style words. Do one, or better still, do all of them and make your decision at the end of the process.
- Create a private Pinterest board, saved folder on Instagram, collection of screenshots or a similar way to collate images.
- Collect images of outfits, jewellery, accessories, and general looks that appeal to you and that you can imagine enjoying wearing.
- After collecting at least 20 images look for common themes, for example:
- Identify three words that sum up these recurring themes: ensure they really resonate with you, are likely to remain relevant and aren’t about current trends.
- Again, you can also try the next option to see what it adds to your thinking before you decide.
Option 2: The Closet Audit Method
- Get out your favourite outfits: Choose the ones that make you feel confident and comfortable.
- Lay out your go-to jewellery pieces and accessories: Are they delicate? Chunky? Colourful? Statement pieces?
- Look for patterns: In fabric, colour, shape, mood and more.
- Choose the three words that describe what you love most about your personal style.
- You can also continue to the next option to see what else it adds to the process.

Organise & Store Your Jewellery:
Now it’s time to organise and store your jewellery in a way that makes it easy see, access, and make use of. Here are some storage suggestions to get you thinking about what will work for you:
1. Keep favourites easily accessible:
I really don’t recommend using jewellery display stands that are out in the open. Free flowing air, dust and humidity are not your friends when it comes to jewellery – especially precious metals.
One idea might be boxes with added padding and perhaps clear lids. My personal preference is stackable and purpose-built padded jewellery boxes with different sections for different types of jewellery.
Go for whatever works for you that both protects your jewellery and allows you to access it easily and see what you’ve got with minimal effort. And it should fit your budget, of course.
2. Store delicate & problematic items carefully
Don’t let your metal or gemstone pieces rub or knock against each other when they’re in storage. This will cause dents and scratches. For delicate and valuable pieces, think about using individual soft pouches or small padded boxes to keep them extra safe.
For necklaces that are likely to tangle, use specially designed jewellery storage that will help with this. A great simple solution is to use drinking straws to slip chains through so that they can’t easily get knotted.
3. Sort by type, colour, theme or sets
Group similar pieces together in a way that works for you. The simplest way might be to have all rings, earrings, etc grouped together. This way when you’re looking for, say, a pendant necklace, you can see what you’ve got of that type and pick the one that works.
Alternatively group things by what you would wear together. Then you can quickly pull out a suite of pieces you want to wear with particular outfits without much thought. The downside to this method is that you may end up wearing the same sets repeatedly, so give your groupings a refresh occasionally.

How This Helps with Jewellery Choices
To come up with my own 3 Words, I started by creating a private Pinterest board, adding outfits and accessories that caught my eye and which I could genuinely imagine wearing. After collecting a good number of pins, I started to notice patterns, certain colours, silhouettes, and textures kept popping up.
After also looking through my existing wardrobe and some reflection, I landed on my three words:
- If your words include something like ‘minimalist’, you might lean more towards delicate gold necklaces, sleek rings, and simple stud earrings.
- If your vibe is ‘bold’, then statement earrings, sculptural statement rings, and eye-catching colours may well be the way to go.
- Graphic – Bold and clear shapes, stylised imagery and patterns.
