Amazing Makeup in Just 5 Minutes

Filed under: Beauty, Makeup — Tags: , , — admin @ 5:43 pm

Amazing Makeup in Just 5 Minutes! Sometimes you find yourself in a rush and it’s not always easy to finish up your makeup and have it look good as well. If you go to work or to school early in the morning, you might not want to spend 20 minutes on your makeup, but here’s some amazing looks you can do yourself in just under 5 minutes. Not only are these looks fast and easy, but they’ll have you look like a goddess- pronto!

If there is one thing I hate in the morning, it’s getting ready. I wish they would just invent a makeup mask that you can just put on your face, and ta-da! Well, they’ve probably already invented that and I just don’t know about it -so let me know if you’ve heard anything! Whether you’re a smokey eye fan or you just like the subtle look these following faces will have you screaming for joy either way. Keep reading to find out!

SIMPLE AND SHEERsheer and simple makeup

This look is for the makeup minimalist, and perfect for during the day. What you need is a rosy-pink blush and lip balm. For a dewy glow, dab a lip balm on cheeks, inner eye corners and lips of course. Next, fill out your brows and brush them upwards. With a simple, fresh look it’s crucial that your brows look perfect and groomed. And honestly, this won’t take you 5 minutes!

PRETTY IN PINKfuschia lipstick

If you’re a fan of bright, red lipstick, think about going a little different today. Instead, try a fuschia lipstick, which is more fun and playful anyways. Start by lining your lips with a magenta colored lip pencil to prevent color bleeding. Fuschia is a color that is not only versatile, but works great on girls with dark or fair hair. To balance out this bold look, swipe on a lengthening mascara and voila you have pretty in pink lips and to-die-for lashes.

THE NEW SMOKEY EYEsubtle smokey eye

If you’re a fan of the smokey eye, but don’t necessarily have time to do it in the morning, here’s the new and improved smokey eye on the rush! Bold, black colors can turn out horrible on bad days, so you have to step it down a notch and incorporate easier-to-wear colors, such as gray hues. Start by filling in the upper lashes with a gray pencil and drag out the line at the outer corners of the eye to create a slightly winged shape. Smudge a bit of gray shadow along the lower lash line and you don’t even need mascara to boot. You can call this look the “during the day smokey eye”.

VIOLETSviolet eyeshadow

Pretty purples and violets are the it colors this season, so it’s no wonder that they’re ending up on our eyes as well. To warm up the purple shadow, blend some peach blush with a hint of shimmer high on the cheekbone and up to the lids. If you put on too much, you can end up looking dated. A touch of iridescence gives skin a youthful luminosity. Instead of going for the traditional nude lip, try a salmon color for more excitement.

GOLDEN GIRLgold eyeshadow

This is another version of the smokey eye and it’s perfect for a rushed night out or whatever you’re in the mood for. Start by dotting black pencil between the lashes and line the lower inner rims. Then blend the liner with a slick black gloss for a super sexy effect. For the final touch, blend a dab of lip balm with a gold shadow and gild the inner eye corners. This will open up your eyes a thousand times!

Get The Look: Leighton’s Trendy Red-Orange Lipstick

Filed under: Beauty, Makeup — Tags: — admin @ 7:55 pm

Get The Look: Leighton’s Trendy Red-Orange Lipstick.

Love it or hate it, Leighton Meester’s right on trend wearing a semi-matte, deep-hued lipstick. As this Gossip Girl demonstrates, in order to pull off a so-bold-it-could-stop-traffic kind of color, it’s best to keep the rest of your makeup toned down as to not overwhelm the look.

So, is a sassy red-orange lipstick something you might want to duplicate for Fall 2008 and beyond? If so, follow these tips on how to keep such a saucy color saucy, along with some department and drugstore finds to boot:

  • Apply lip liner in a shade similar to your lipstick. Outline, following the natural shape of your lips, and then fill in completely. By using liner as a base, your color will wear longer and bolder. It helps prevent color from bleeding, too.
  • Using a lip brush, apply lipstick. Start in the center, working out as you go. Fix any harsh lines or mistakes with a Q-tip.
  • Splurgey choice: Back at Fashion Rocks in September, Leighton told me she loves Yves Saint Laurent lipstick. Try Rouge Volupté Lipstick in Extreme Coral or Red Muse ($34).
  • Drugstore finds: Go with bright red-orange shades such as L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick Lipstick in Volcanic ($8.95) or Revlon Moon Drops Creme Lipstick in Hot Coral ($8.99).

Get Her Makeup Look: Mila Kunis

Filed under: Beauty, Makeup — Tags: — admin @ 3:58 pm

Get Her Makeup Look: Mila Kunis.


Mila Kunis is such a vision in white. Her upswept hair lets her eyes be the center of attention.

To get her stunning look, first prep skin with an illuminating moisturizer, like MAC Strobe Liquid. Apply an undetectable foundation, such as Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation and lightly set with your favorite pressed powder. Next, give cheeks a glow using a muted pink blush, like Cargo Blush in The Big Easy.

For the eyes, sweep a shimmery white-gold shadow on the lids. in Queen PhyllisBare Escentuals bareMinerals Glimmer will work well. Then, apply a light matte brown shadow in crease, blending it slighlty upward. Try Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow in Camel. Line the upper and lower lids using a taupe-brown liner and smudge slightly. Be sure to also line the waterline. Try Cover Girl Perfect Blend Eyeliner in Mink, which has a built-in blender tip. Next, using the same gold eyeshadow, trace the inner half of the lower lashline. Coat lashes with a lengthening mascara, like L’Oreal FeatherLash. Lightly define eyebrows using brow powder a shade lighter than your haircolor.

Finish the look by giving lips a sheer, shimmery pink-beige tint using a lipstick like MAC Viva Glam V.

CARGO Baked Bronzer, Eyeshadow and Eyeliner

Filed under: Beauty, Makeup — Tags: , — admin @ 9:56 am

CARGO Baked Bronzer, Eyeshadow and Eyeliner.


Can you feel the love? CARGO Plant Love has extended their line of eco-friendly lipsticks to now include loose and pressed powder foundation, baked illuminator, bronzer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lip gloss, lip liner and lip balm. So far, I’ve acquired the Baked Bronzer, Dove and Peacock eyeshadow and Black and Midnight Blue eyeliner.

First up is the Baked Bronzer which I adore. Now, when I think of bronzer, usually the words “overpowering” and “orange” come to mind, but this product is neither. It takes away the flat, one-dimensional post mortem look of foundation and infuses life into the face. It’s actually quite subtle, so much so that I feel I have to load up my brush to get enough color. Methinks this bronzer would work on even the fairest of the fair.

The eyeshadows also impress, with their super smooth and pigmented, soft shimmery finish. They blend well and wear without creasing, and, overall, they remind me of MAC Veluxe Pearl eyeshadows. Dove gives the perfect smoky eye and Peacock is fun for a splash of color along the lower lashline.

As for the eyeliner, well, first of all, navy eyeliner is so hot right now it’s not even funny. Both eyeliners glide on smoothly and work well worn straight-up or smudged. And the black eyeliner? It’s like black pumps–you can never own too many.
