I just tested this new tinted moisturizer this week and i actually really like it, i am not a huge fan of anything tinted in the place of foundation, so many girl request it, but let's be honest its great if you have baby like skin with out any marks,discoloration etc.... so very few people can just wear a tinted moisturizer, but i found these to be really nice and work well with most powder.

THE PUUURRRFECT CAT EYE!

Creating The Puuuurfect Cat Eye~ The Winged Eyeliner Effect.

A few of you guys have asked me , How do I get That Winged Liner look, aka THE CAT EYE?

So here you are, I love this look, it's simple and classic and can be reinvented any way you like. Follow the Steps below and then experiment with color and shading,  create a classic eye Ala, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S or a Sexy Smokey Vamp Eye.  Have fun and don't poke your eye out.

1. • 1
     You have two main options for product--liquid liner or pot liner with an angled, thin brush. Truthfully, the best way to understand which is your best for the task is to test out both.

     2 Let's pretend you've decided on the liquid--in my estimation, an inferior choice, but some of you just can't get down with a brush and I respect that--so, liquid. Choose the shortest pen-tip you can find--bizarrely, my faves have been drugstore finds. The shorter the tip, the more control you have.
   • 3
     Set up a hands-free magnified mirror--you'll need all the hands you can get for this one. Starting with the inner corner of your eye, barely touch the pen to your lashline and slowly drag toward the outer corner of your eye.

     The key is to make your line as close to the lashes as humanly possible--if you want to fatten it up later, by all means do.
   • 5
     As you round toward the edge, sort of flick your wrist slightly but confidently toward your temple. It's better to make a longer extended liner--we can always q-tip it off later. The key is more about placement of wing, rather than the length initially.
   • 6
     All of these steps need to be done with an open eye. It's really hard to tell what something as specific as a winged liner will look like when your eyes are open, if you apply when your eyes are closed. This holds true for almost any shadow application, too. As much as you can flex your little eye-muscles to be able to hold both eyes open when you apply, the more you'll know exactly what your face will look like when you're done.

     Open both eyes and with a normal expression on your face (not a raised brow) and assess your work. If the wings are uneven, take your pointed q-tips (the best for makeup blunders!) and in upward motions, symmetrize your wings to your heart's content.

Palettes Are A Girls Best Friend! Or Carry your face in your purse!

Various Palettes from my makeup box

Like Marilyn Monroe sang, " Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend", well that may still ring true but I'm here to say that a close second in line is a fabulous makeup palette.  The Idea of a Makeup Palette is,  All you need in one place. Think about it, your whole face in a palette of various shapes and sizes and you just toss it in your purse and hit the streets on your adventures, weather your a hipster out on the town or a career girl with her eye on the boss,  a makeup palette makes  going to the "powder room" a piece of cake, gone are the days  of digging through your purse for all those pesky small individual cosmetics, and besides that means you have one big ass bag.

well loved palettes

 So I thought it would be a neat idea to  showcase a few Makeup Palettes that I use in my work.  They are amazing for throwing into your set bag and hitting the set ready to do lite touch ups or actually do someone right then and there, which sad to say I have done many time. Most Palettes are that of eyeshadows, there are quite a few out there that include eye shadows, cheeks, and lips, some even a shine powder. These little gems have saved my life and the face of a few starlets out there! so maybe they can be of some help to you.....There are so many lines  out there to choose from and every brand makes a palette, you just need to find the one the best suit you! Now check it out, enjoy , take it in, learn and go make yourself pretty.....Mykie Makeup!
