Who doesn’t want bigger looking eyes? Unfortunately a lot of women don’t apply eyeliner correctly, making their eyes appear smaller than they really are. The key is to make your top lash line appear thicker and the whites of your eyes seem larger. The purpose is to open up your beautiful eyes, not enclose them.

Been up all night? Then it’s probably time to break out the concealer! Trust us, if you use it correctly, no one will notice that you didn’t get a wink of sleep. If you have “monolids” like me, “bags” won’t be that visible. But for everyone else, your bags will be darker and more puffy the under eye area than normal. However, I do need to use a concealer to even out color. Many people struggle to cover bags up, but you just need to follow these steps and you’ll be saying “goodbye” to those dark pesky circles forever!

Today I am going to be showing you how to get a sexy sultry smokey eye. I was inspired by Jennifer Love Hewitt who defines sexiness and is known for her sultry smokey eyes. So instead of focusing on just a basic black smokey eye I wanted to do a golden, bronzy eye that suits light skin tones and light-colored eyes. (more…)

Big, thick brows are definitely “in” right now. Have you seen supermodel Cara Delevingne’s?!
A little trick to quickly make your eyebrows bolder and darker is to use an eye shadow color that is a shade darker than your natural brow color and apply it with any thin eye brush (I used a Sephora angled eyeliner brush).
Keep in mind that this is not an entirely “natural” look, so make sure you only go super bold for nights out or special events. Add a dark smokey eye, some liner and mascara and you are good to go!

Colored shadows can be tricky to work with, but you can’t go wrong with shades of brown and copper since it works well with practically every skin tone and eye color. Browns are great for everyday wear since the natural shadows of your lids are a brownish red. Eyes are the first thing people notice; make them clean, defined, beautiful and not too distracting. You want people to notice you, not your heavy makeup so here’s a way to give your eyes that bit of pop it needs without being overdone. This is a great basic everyday look that can be changed up easily and worn for any occasion.
Step 1: Start with clean eyes and apply primer all over the lid up to your brow bone. Elf Primer is a great alternative to Urban Decay’s Primer Potion. For only 1 dollar compared to a 20 dollar primer, it’s a must have.
Step 2: Apply a red toned brown shadow all over the lid up to the crease with a wide blending brush. Mac’s Brown Script is matte and has great pigmentation with no fallout. (more…)
