Starry Eyed Christen

Salut les filles :)

Today's post will be featuring my belle amie Christen as the muse and her starry eyes as mon maquillage du jour. I love applying makeup on my friends, it's fun and can be done over wine and girl talk!!! Hooray :)

This look was inspired by none other than Christen herself, I wanted to play up her beautiful luscious features with a quick and easy Glam makeup look.

Scroll through for more pictures of my lovely muse, read on for all the cosmetics/products that I used, and check out the step by step tutorial if you're interested in replicating this starry eyed maquillage.

P. S. As an added bonus, see (and hear) how this Star really shines by following the link at the end. I promise you'll be amazed!!

Fire Eyes, Flaming Lips

Cheers mes amis!

A while ago, I posted a poll asking you to choose one of your most feared makeup trends. Although I don't exactly remember the choices, I remember the outcome. Not surprisingly, red eyeshadow was feared by nearly 75% of you (myself included), so I thought I'd confront this fear and give red eye a try. Here's what I came up with, so fear no more!

Forget everything you heard about red shadow and embrace these facts: 

1. Red makes the whites of your eyes whiter and brighter
2. Skin appears more even and redness is reduced (!!!)
3. Red eyeshadow is different. Your makeup is guaranteed to stand out of the crowd, duh :)

RED HOT or RED NOT?
