How to Prevent Clumps and Mascara Smearing

Arianne Suggs September 24, 2015September 24, 2015Leave a Comment

Clumps and smearing can usually be completely avoided if prep before application is done correctly. What sort of preparation is needed when applying mascara? You will want to take into consideration the wand as well as what could possibly occur later on during the day.

Many women like to touch up their makeup throughout the day to ensure that they look their best. However, touching up mascara and applying more formula can causes lashes to look flaky as well as clumpy. Avoid this by prepping your wand properly before your very first application. Add some hydration to wand by spritzing it with a light mist of a water spray. Misting your wand before dipping it in the mascara tube and applying will help to stave off the need for a mid-day touch-up.

The second issue that many women face throughout the day is smearing which is usually caused by the production of oils. Soak up these oils by applying a powder eyeshadow along your top lid. A little translucent powder may be dusted under the eyes to prevent any smudges with the lower lash line. Moreover, invest in a travel case size of cotton swabs aka Q-tips. These can be used to gently clean up or remove any mascara smearing due to oils if necessary.

Green Eyes

Arianne Suggs July 8, 2015July 8, 2015Leave a Comment

For the past two days the beauty world has been buzzing about the green eyeshadow seen on models during the Versace runway show. Green is not usually a tint that most women naturally reach for when creating their makeup look. Nevertheless, green is a great hue for girls wanting to explore color and move on from more neutral tints. Here are few tips to keep in mind to make this runway trend your very own:

1. When applying green eyeshadow for brown eyes it is best to use a green shadow that has blue undertones. The blue will accentuate the orange undertones present in brown eyes making them pop.

2. If you want a more subtle look apply green eyeliner to your upper and lower lash lines.

3. Black mascara will match green eye shadow well so do not worry about the colors clashing if you would like to punch up your lashes.

4. A nude lip color and bronzing the skin will compliment green eyeshadow very well.

5. Lighter skin tones can wear even very celery green shadows while it is recommended that darker skin tones go for emerald, evergreen and vivid greens to create the most stunning look.

Champagne Anyone?

Champagne Anyone?

Eye shadow is great but we are sometimes hesitant to use certain colors on our eyes. Let’s face it, not every shade looks good on every person. However, there are certain eye shadow colors that look good on just about every skin tone or color. Our favorite all-purpose eye shadow color is shimmering champagne. It works well under the eyebrow bone, at the inner corners of your eyes and can even work on your cheekbones if you are in a tight spot. If you are a beauty connoisseur then you will want to make sure your makeup kit has some champagne in it, no long stemmed flutes are necessary.
