The Daily Face - May 8, 2012 - Blue Brows

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325

eyeliner: The Body Shop Liquid Liner in Black, Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Pencil Liner in 12L (Midnight blue)

eye brows: Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Pencil Liner in 12L (Midnight blue)

eye lashes: MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara

I did a colored brow look back in August and I think people were a little skeptical.  Rightly so, it’s a super weird look.  BUT WAIT!  I have seen colored brows popping up all over, most notably The Capitol of Panem!

For this look I first lined my lids with black liquid liner.  This acts only as a base.

Next I applied the midnight blue eye pencil on top of the black liner.  By starting with the black base the blue will be darker and more noticeable.

Then I shaded a little of the midnight blue pencil into my lower lash line, concentrating it around the outer edges of the eye.

Next using the same blue pencil, I shaded in my brows.  Start with very light strokes so you can control how deep the color is.  Remember it’s easier to add makeup than to take it away.

I finished the look with mascara, as per usual.

The Daily Face - February 9, 2012 - Inspired by the Jason Wu for Target Collection

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325

eyeliner: The Body Shop Liquid Liner in black

eyeshadow: NARS Eyeshadow in Night Flight

eye brows: MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Fling

eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama

cheeks: NARS Eye Pencil in Hollywoodland

Here’s another look inspired by the Jason Wu for Target Collection.  Since this shirt is very close in color to my actual skin tone I wanted to create some contrast with bold eyes.  In the photo this shadow appears black but it’s actually a very dark navy blue.  I used one color for the entire eye but controlled the shade with the pressure of the brush and the amount of product.  Heavy pressure and more product was used on the outer corners of the eye, while I used light pressure and light makeup toward the inner corners.  You’ll want to use your eye sockett bones as a guide for where your shadow should be, bringing the outer corners of the shadow just out and over the bones.

Next I lined the top lid with liquid liner from The Body Shop, as well as the upper and lower inner rims of the eyes.

Lash I applied mascara and a sweep of NARS Hollywoodland down the bridge of the nose and on the top of the cheekbones as a highlighter.

The Daily Face - November 30, 2011 

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325

eyeliner: The Body Shop Liquid Liner in Black

eye brows: MAC Eye Brow Pencil in Fling

eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama

cheeks: NARS Blush in Madly

Sometimes all you need is some liner, mascara, and blush.  This is a super easy look for people who aren’t that into shadow.  It’s very natural, but the liquid liner makes it feel finished and polished.

First I lined the top lid with liquid liner from The Body Shop.  I really love this liner because it’s easy to take off.  If you’re a beginner to liquid liner this is a good product to start with.  You can easily manipulate this liner with a damp q-tip to make a perfect line.

Next I applied a few coats of mascara.

Last I applied NARS Madly blush to the apples of the cheeks and lightly to other parts of the face which would become natural tan from the sun, i.e. the forehead and nose.
