Press on Eyeshadow: Makeup Artistry Made Easy
2009-07-07 03:33:00 Any woman that's sat down with a makeup artist to have them do magic on her face, would be lying if she said she wouldn't like to have her own custom makeup applier on hand, tucked away in her own secret drawer (the one right next to the home hair stylist). It's unfortunate, but this just isn't realistic for most women; however, there is a product that delivers the same results almost instantaneously.
MAC Eyeshadow Swatches
2009-04-01 09:07:00 I thought i would share my few MAC eye shadows with you guys! I didn't put any primer on before i did the swatches so the colors might look a bit more faded than usual (especially me beloved plum dressing)I am working on my collection of shadows but it is proving to be a bit difficult because i have to order everything over the net and MAC doesn't post to Malta... GrrrrrrrrMy fave eyeshadow is Plum Dressing and my least fave is Blue storm (just because i don't think dark blue is my color, so i am selling that one)Color combo's i like using together:Plum dressing & Parfait amourBronze & Electric Eel (electric eel only under my eyes)Bio green & HumidSable, Romp & BronzePlum dressing & French cuffBronze & French cuffCarbon & everything!White frost & everything!

Product Review: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
2008-03-13 23:30:00 Reviewer: Cinnamon KittenBrand: Urban DecayName: Eyeshadow Primer PotionSize: XXXXXApprox. Price: $18 CADAs some of you may know, I love my MAC Paint in Untitled as my eyeshadow primer. It's a nearly nude shade of Paint that comes in a tube, is super easy to apply and makes my eyeshadow and eyeliner last all day until I take it off with makeup remover. I've tried other eye-area primers (ie. Clinique) with not-as-good results, so I've always stuck to MAC. However, on a recent trip to Sephora, a friend of mine mentioned how much she loved this Urban Decay product so I had to give it a try.Packaged in a cute lilac genie-inspired bottle, this product is "an ultra-sheer, totally nude eye base that glides on with the wave of a wand and then disappears instantly. It's the ultimate eye prep for smoother, longer-lasting, crease-proof eyeshadow." (description from Sephora's web site) To Purr About:- although when first applied, there's a slightly white colour, when dry, this product is...

Types of Eyeshadow
2008-01-05 18:30:00 One type of makeup that is used to enhance the eyes is commonly called eyeshadow. While it is frequently used to shade or "shadow" the eyes, it is also used to lighten, brighten, and make eyes appear larger.Many popular eyeshadows come in powdered form and contain talc, but there are also cream and liquid shadows. Cream shadows should be used above the crease of the eye and are not recommended for the area below the eye. Liquid eyeshadow creates a "wet" or shimmering appearance and both cream and liquid shadows work well as a base for powdered eyeshadow.The traditional way to use eyeshadow is to apply different shades from one corner of the eye to the other, blending from light to dark. Starting with light colors from the inside corner and blending to dark will make eyes appear farther apart and larger. Keep in mind that light colors are used to highlight and accent the shape of the eye, while dark colors are used to shade and gently change the shape.Eyeshadow can also be used as an...
