Stila's Smudgepot's (holiday collection)

Posted by ShaunaCay Tara on Tuesday, October 6, 2009, In : Eyes 
I love Stila's Smudgepots. They are an awesome eyeliner and eyeshadow in one. This holiday collection includes
Black (intense black) . Starry Night (bold blue with shimmer) . Violet (pretty purple with shimmer). and Kitten (nude champagne shimmer) . These work very well and stay without smearing. I always use an eyeshadow primer even if I'm only applying eyeshadow because it keeps the oils from your eyelid under control. A great simple look consists of kitten as the all over eyeshadow, and the...

Sephora's Shimmer Pot (copper)

Posted by ShaunaCay Tara on Monday, September 21, 2009, In : Eyes 
I LOVE this product. I use it everyday. It is great as a highlight under the eyebrows, or even as an all over eyeshadow when you are going for a natural glowing look. I suggest if you are going for the natural look, just use mascara and this shimmer as a shadow. It adds just the right amount of shimmer to your lids. Do not forget to use a primer first! Creased eyeshadow is so not hot!




This product is available at Sephora $8 for 0.027oz

Sephora Single Eyeshadow (stephane)

Posted by ShaunaCay Tara on Thursday, September 17, 2009, In : Eyes 
I purchased Sephora's Single Eyeshadow a few weeks ago and it's not doing anything for me. I tried to wear it as an all over eye color and I noticed you have to apply quite a bit for the pigment to stay a deep color. I blended a layer on my lid and the color just looked faded. If you want to keep the brightness, I suggest dipping your brush in water and applying a thick layer of shadow with very little blending. On the up side, the shadow itself is a shimmer and there are silver glitter flake...

NYX Cosmetics Single Eyeshadow (black)

Posted by ShaunaCay Tara on Thursday, September 17, 2009, In : Eyes 
 This single eyeshadow is awesome! I use it for eyeliner and eyeshadow. For lining the eyes, I use a small brush and just dab it into the shadow. Tap your brush before applying so you get all the loose shadow off the brush. This prevents the shadow from falling when you apply it. Then just line your lower lash line. For a darker look, you can dip your brush in water then dab it into the shadow. It applies very smooth. When wet, it is amazing as a top eyeliner. I also use this shadow to smoke ...

Before applying eyeshadow, make sure you follow the steps to applying a full face of makeup.
1) Wash your hands
2) Wash your face
3) Apply moisturizer
4) Apply primers
    * Apply face primer and then eye shadow primer.

I have used Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow Primer by Too Faced for some time now. I really like this product mainly because you only need to apply the size of a raindrop and it covers your whole lid. Now, if you plan on lining your lower lash line, I recommend applying a tiny, tiny bit ...

Smashbox Foundation Primer

Posted by ShaunaCay Tara on Tuesday, September 15, 2009, In : Primers 
Before applying a full face of makeup:
1) Wash your hands
2) Wash your face
3) Apply a moisturizer
4) Apply a primer

My Favorite foundation primer of all time is Photo Finish Foundation Primer by Smashbox. After applying this primer, your foundation will go on suuuuper smooth and you will actually end up using less foundation because the primer smooths out your face so you won't need to apply larger amounts of foundation in those problem areas. Your foundation will also feel lighter because it's n...
