Eye love you!

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

DH-ELEyes are the window to your soul. Eyes we use to see with. Eyes if accessorized properly can be your entire focus of your make-up regime for the day/eveining (smokey eye looks for the evening or the i-just-woke-up-snow-angel look for all day and night — tips on how to create those look later).

BLINC-Mascara_dark-brownHave you noticed that a good eyeliner paired with the perfect mascara can make your eyes pop that you don’t even need to focus on applying make-up on the rest of your face? I only say this as there are days that I run out of time (or am just having a lazy day) to do make-up and found this less is more approach does work and still looks great. Test it out on a day you know you’ll have a lot of down time and see how comfortable you get with this minimal look. Be sure to let us know what you think, too.

The 80’s are back

Bold in-your-face colors are splashing everywhere: from bright hues of greens & blues eyeshadows on our eyes, yellow painted nails to hot pink kissable lips. Yet, out of them all, PURPLE is the trendiest color of the season.

Putting on purple is a tad intimidating at first, but not to dismay as a little can also go a long way. And why is it so trendy you ask? It’s not only a gorgeous hue of brilliant brightness, but a splash of it on your face can make the barest of skin come alive.

::..Our Purple Power make-up tip of the day..::
Dibble dabble any shade of purple (we like the metallic ones for an extra POP) on the top of your eyelids and don’t be shy to apply from your lash line up to your eye crease. Then for an extra bit of purple pizzaz, dip your finger or favorite eye-brush in that pot of purple eye-shadow and apply on the BOTTOM of your eyelids [YES, we said BOTTOM] from the inner corners to the middle. 

You COULD apply to the entire bottom ends of your eyes when applying it on the bottom eyelids, but we think that look is more for the evening. And for an even more dramatic evening look, apply the Purple Pizzaz eyeshadow above your crease line (about half way up to your eye brow line). VOILA~

Eye-Concealers

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

As the days are longer, I’m finding myself being more out and about enjoying these longer days. It’s the next morning that I wake up, and even with a good night’s rest, that I cannot escape those ugly dark circles under my eyes. Ahhh, the days when I was younger and NEVER had to deal with such stressors.  BUT thank goodness for eye concealers and good make-up. Many rant and rave over the new eye brightener this or eye concealer this. Honestly, I’ve tried it all and admit I like a lot of products out there.  I used to only use a particular brand that worked wonders for ‘eye-brightening’, but I hated how it was a fluid consistency.  There are times that after I apply my eye shadow that I want to add just a tad more eye concealer under my eye brow to ‘heighten the depth’ of my day’s make-up.  Then I’d apply the concealer (brightener in this case) and the eye shadow would disappear!! DARN IT! 

So far, I haven’t had any problems with Bare Minerals WELL RESTED Multi Tasking Mineral.  It’s called multi-tasking as it doubles for eye-shadow AND concealer and some even use it as a lipstick base (for longer wearing lipstick).  My customers and I love the creamy texture of this powder as it adds an illustrious glowing shine to the areas that you apply.  Give it a swirl and tell us what you think! 

Well Rested
