Expressionist Era

I have definitely blogged about Bobbi Brown's "Pretty Powerful" campaign, but for those who have not viewed it, it's a perfect illustration of different kinds of women, of all ages, skin-types, and features.

Color Me Bad

 Trend-setter:  Colored lips and eye-liner are a perfect way to start the summer.

Ready for Red? Be sure to find the shade that suits your skin color, since Red lipsticks vary between blue-red, orange-red, and pink-red.

Just say No:  Using a water-proof eye-liner is essential, especially in warm weather.  Urban Decay, Make-Up Forever, and Estee Lauder have suitable options in an array of fantastic colors.

Don't Speak

No Doubt: Love Gwen Stefani, but she definitely needed to break away from her standard red lips.

Break-through: Her look on the latest ELLE cover, is simply perfection.

Highlights: Brows, Eye-shadow, Cheekbones, and Nude lips.

Steel The Show

Urban Decay: I recently purchased The Black Pallette at Sephora which features a combination of 6 fantastic black-based steel colors.

 

Fear: Be careful in application, since the shadow tends to spill all over.

Fear-less: Pallette includes Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion.

Eye Spy

Fad or Foe: Smokey eyes will never go out of style.

Step-up: Your standard smoked eye by adding a thick liner or shadow on top, as well as bottom.

Must: A smudge free liner to prevent smearing. Try to wet your brush and dab into your shadow to help it stay on.

Must: MAC's metallic shadow, Goldmine, paired with Ruby Red lipstick.

*Beware: Your midnight kiss may leave a mark

Lust:  A pair of faux lashes to complete your look and ring in the new year!

Poison Ivy

Colored shadow: Celebrated year round on your eyes.

Preference: Keep the shadow on just the base of your lids to give it the perfect, yet maintained flare.

Primping, Priming

Wonders: A primer must be used underneath your application to help prevent your make-up from looking less fresh throughout the day or night.

Try: MAC Prep + Prime

Results: One pump is all you need and your make-up will not budge

Fantastic Options: Smashbox, Make-Up Forever primers

Eye-shadow will not fade or crease if you use a good primer before your shadow application.

De-crease: MAC paint pots, Groundwork , is a neutral shade that sits well under most shadow colors
