We're back! And the eyes have it!

OK y'all, I have been slacking on my pimpin but I am back! Had a bit of a personal crisis but life does go on right?
I have been playing a lot with eye liners lately..  liquid eye liner, gel eye liner and pencil eye liner. Which to choose you ask?  Well, it depends on two things; your skill/patience AND your desired look.
Lets say you want a smudgy, smokey eye... use pencil and smudge it.  Now, you can also do that with a gel liner but work quickly because it dries even more quickly.  If you want a more clean classic cat eye then you are going to want to use a liquid liner or gel.  A pencil can also be used but you will not achieve the same sharpness.
My favorites?  Well, here we go!

Gel liner:  I have 2 favorites. Clinique and Stila Smudge Pots
The benefit is once applied, they DO NOT MOVE!
Have to love it!


Liquid eyeliner: Well you may be a bit suprised by this by I LOVE Sephora's version.  You must have a steady hand and practice but once you get it, it looks gorgeous!


 Last but not least.... Good ole' eye pencils...  Great for lining the eye and tight-lining (inside the eye line).  My ultimate favorite is MAC... you can't go wrong...



So there you have it.  Eye liner 101..  If you have any questions please comment and I will get back to you with some customized tips.  OK Glams! Until the next post. Be beautiful inside and out!

Twas the night after Halloween....

Well Glams, I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Halloween. I, myself, had a ball! My good friend Clarence came into town from San Francisco and we hit the streets. Drinks at the W hotel in Union Square, dinner at City Crab (you must try the Buffalo shrimp) and then I headed home to get ready for the parties. After much thought, I decided to be a Ghoulish, corpse bride. Yes, I got out the ugly stick and beat the face to a pale eery mess!

Here's what I did:

For the foundation base I primed with Smashbox Photofinish and mixed Chanel's ProLumiere in Beige with the Make Up For Ever Flash Palette white color.

I used their HD Microfinish powder to set and then contoured the cheeks with my MAC blotting powder.

For the eyes, I used my MAC palette and used Carbon all over the lid and then moved to my INGLOT palette to add maroon, silver and heather grey. Two sets of false lashes and a very strong brow. The lips were first lined and filled in with Stila Contour #6 and the MAC Russian Red over the top. I curled and teased the hell out of my hair and sprayed it to death.

We met up in Union Square and what a sight we were. He was a Jedi and me.. well you can see for yourself. We had a great time at the party where everyone was decked out in their creative costumes and the music was great. I love Halloween and am already planning next years getup. What did you dress as?
