Eye Shadow Creasing Concern (Product Review)

Great Day! Get Excited! I’m so excited about this product review, if your eyelids have seen better days, bring them back with a smoothing gel, introducing Lierac DioptiLissi Lifting Instant Smoothing Gel. Lierac Paris has blessed US stateside with its presence in our Duane Reade drugstores. The line of anti-aging skin care products that developed a following across the pond (Paris) has brought forth a new series of eye products. A few weeks ago I was introduce to this amazing eye product, it lifts, moisturize and firm. This instant smoothing gel improves makeup hold when use as a base, prevent creasing, minimizes the appearance of fine lines and provides an immediate lifting effect.


FACTS: 94% Eyelids appear lifted…


Thumbs up must have beauty product, here are my results.

Jennifer Hudson Weight Watcher Hair/Makeup Look

Great Day If  You Luv Makeup & Beauty Followers! Get Excited!! Last year Jennifer Hudson announced on “Good Morning America” that she will be the new spokeswoman for Weight Watcher. The Oscar and Grammy winner and new mom say her life changed when she joined the weight-loss program. Hudson also stated that her recent weight loss isn't about fitting into a Hollywood mold of what size a woman should be. Weight Watchers has helped her balance working and parenting with a healthy lifestyle, she said, because she can eat what she wants as long as she stays within her plan's point limits…

A few years ago I’ve joined Weight Watcher and was very impressed with their program, believe me it works. With that being said I’ve decide to create hair/makeup look on Jennifer new Weight Watcher look.

Makeup Products Used:

Flori Roberts Splendor (Brown) Eye Shadow
NYX Jumbo Stick (Milky)
Black Mascara
Black Opal Stick Foundation
Flori Roberts Medium Bronzer Powder
Bronze Lip Gloss
Red Cherry Lashes #62

To create Jennifer Hudson new hairstyle view my "Jennifer Hudson Weight Watchers Hair Tutorial" and tell me what you think. In this video I will show you how to revamp your old wig(s). Get Excited!

Bye, Bye, Dry Skin

Happy New Year!  Moisturizing is an important step that helps your foundation goes on smoothly and evenly. Make sure to begin with a freshly washed face, then apply your moisturizer. It’s best applied to a damp face because it goes on more evenly. Moisturizer evens the skin’s porosity and is most effective when it’s left to absorb for a few minutes before you apply your makeup. You can use a light moisturizer or a heavy one; just make sure you choose the right one for your particular skin type.
  • Moisturizers for normal skin are usually light to help even out any dry areas.
  • Moisturizers for dry skin are usually higher in emollients and are richer.
  • Moisturizers for sensitive skin are fragrance and irritant-free
  • Moisturizers for oily skin are extremely light and won’t clog pores.
Many have oil-absorbing properties in them that actually help control the oil. Oily skin needs moisturizer, because it can often be over-dried by cleansers. The body is so smart; it actually produces more oil to compensate for the over-dryness, which only makes the complexion appear greasier. A light moisturizer keeps oily skin from producing more oil and can help even out its porosity.

TIP: Moisturizing your lips before applying lip color will help it go on more smoothly.

How to Blend Eye Makeup

Great Day! Get Excited! Get Excited!! Thanks for stopping by. Blended eye makeup should look seamless and not create stiff or straight lines, unless you are attempting a specific look. Makeup on the eyes will blend better when a small amount of liquid foundation is applied to the eyelids and the area under the eyebrow.

Brush on eye shadow with a loose brush rather than a foam applicator to start with a more natural look. Apply the medium-colored eye shadow from a pre-packaged eye shadow trio to the eyelid. Highlight the area under the brow with the lightest color in the trio. Add the darkest color last, on the crease of the eyelid. Blend eye makeup only after you've applied all the eye shadow shades you want to wear.

Wait to apply eyeliner and mascara until after your eye shadow is blended. Use the brush you used to apply your accent color to blend your eye makeup so that you don't get your darker accent color on the brush you use for your other two lighter eye shadow colors.

Use a blending brush for applying and blending eye makeup. You'll get a much better end result. Move the makeup brush lightly across eyelids and under the eyebrows to blend eye shadow and remove any excess makeup.

Punch Up Your Beauty This Holiday

Get Excited! Get Excited!! The holiday season is here..What can a woman do to punch up her look without taking it all off and starting over for an afterwork holiday event?
Transitioning from work to evening is actually pretty easy if you prep yourself. Apply tinted moisturizer (or foundation), mascara and gloss or lipstick before work. After work, cover any blemishes by patting in a concealer (never rub).

Then follow these steps for either the smokey eye look or the deep red look:



For the Smokey Eye
1. Apply your eye makeup: Eyeliner on both top and bottom lashes (be sure to 'smudge it,' dark eyeliner will age you), a eye shadow primer, and a shimmery shadow on the lid. Don't apply any more mascara unless your earlier application has rubbed completely off, otherwise you risk getting clumpy lashes.
2. Dab a shimmery blush to cheeks.
3. Powder your face lightly.
4. Apply a light lipstick or gloss.



For Deep Red Lips
1. Cover unsightly veins on eyelids with a matte eyeshadow in a color that's as close as your skin tone as possible.
2. Apply a very light shimmery blush on cheeks.
3. Line lips and fill in with your favorite red color.
4. Powder face.




Which look will you wear to your holiday event? 
Smokey Eyes
Deep Red Lips
