with the brow hairs standing straight up! …

Taupe Craze

Recently, I ran across this eye brightening all-in-one, five shadow and liner palette from Lancome called Taupe Craze. Use soft colors for day and intensify with darker shadows for an evening look. For day, try using the peach shadow on the lid and cream color for highlighting the brow. Get an evening look by adding the matte brown to the crease, use the dark taupe for the liner, and place the shimmer to the inside corners of the eye. ♄ Debra Johnson Makeup Artist Orange County, California Don’t forget to share, and comment!

I find the Shu Uemura eyelash curler to be quite different from other brands. When trying it out I realized that it actually curls the lashes, instead of making a crease, resulting in what I call the “check mark” effect. With further investigation, I found that the perfect curl is created by the silicone mushroom shape pad and patented hinge that achieves the perfect amount of pressure on the lash. This eyelash curler is shaped with a curved angle, which is great for all eye shapes. The Shu Uemura eyelash curler is now a staple item in my makeup kit as well …
