It took about two seconds today for my afternoon photo shoot to devolve into this…

And then this…

ANNONSE

Lol! yeah (I’ll spare you the other 12).

Despite all appearances, these pics do a lot more than merely paper the fact that I’m way too easily amused. They also help us segue into talking about brows.

BROWS!

They’ve been on my mind a lot more than normal lately… First, because they’re all over the promotional pics for this year’s fall makeup campaigns, and second, because of super-spy/former makeup artist Jeremy Renner.

Yes, the new Jason Bourne (or at least, another member of the Treadstone Project).

“Brows, lashes, lips.” Jeremy advises. “Frame the face.”

Also, my friend Cindy asked me a brow-related question while we prepped homemade pasta last Saturday night.

“Where must my brows start, and where must they stop?”

Great question, chef Cindy! It’s something I think about each day as I’m filling in my brows.

Finding your brow start point

The easiest trick I know of is to take a makeup brush (or a pen/pencil if you don’t have a brush nearby; just be careful not to poke your eye out!), look directly into a mirror, and hold the brush vertically, straight up and down, and parallel with the length of your nose, resting it in the nook where your nostril begins.

Follow the line of the brush or pencil up, and where it intersects with the horizontal line of your brow, for a lot of people, that’s the start point of your brow (and repeat on the other side).

Finding your brow end point

To find the end point of your brow, take your same brush, and again, looking directly into your mirror, hold the brush at a diagonal, with the lower edge touching the outside of one nostril (yup, the side closer to your ear), and the opposite end lining up with the outer corner of the eye on the same side of your face.

Follow that line, and you’ll find where your brow must end.

A view from the side

My brows are naturally uneven, and my left brow (which is what you see on your monitor on the ideal side in these pictures), is just a smidgen shorter than the right. So, after filling in both brows, I like to double check using this trick to make sure my brow beginning and end points are even.

Here’s another quick way to see if your brows are even: look straight into your mirror, and then slowly tilt your chin up. For some reason, the change in perspective makes it much easier to see if things are lining up.

Brow suggestions for wide- and close-set eyes

Little adjustments to where you start your brows can create different looks, which can be helpful for men and gals with wide-or close-set eyes.

Say you have naturally wide-set eyes and want to make them appear a little closer. try filling in your brows just a hair closer to the center line of your face, just inside your natural brow start point. It must make your eyes appear like they’re closer together.

And if your eyes are close-set and you want to make them appear even more apart, just do the opposite, shifting the starting point of each brow a hair toward your temples.

I always like to see what Madonna’s been up to, and apparently Madge has moved on from her signature MAC Russian Red lipstick (here’s an old-school Madonna tutorial with Russian Red from 2008!) and is now rocking with make up For Ever.

She’s on excursion to promote her newest album, MDMA, and has been found wearing the new make up For ever Aqua Rouge in #8 on stage ($24). It’s a shade specifically created for Madge by her makeup artist, Gina Brooke.

“I loved working with make up FOR ever to create a custom-made shade of AqUA Rouge spesielt for Madonna. Min største utfordring var å finne et leppeprodukt som var anerkjent og langvarig, og visste å velge noe fra å gjøre opp for alltid Aqua-serien skulle være ideelt, spesielt med et minutt og en halv for touch ups mellom sanger.

“Det er ikke noe rom for feil,” sa Brooke. “Jeg ønsket å komme opp med en perfekt, ren rød leppefarge som ville utstråle selvtillit og skjønnhet. For meg ser skyggen ikonisk ut, som er det beste ordet for å definere Madonna og hennes karriere. ”

– Makeup Artist Gina Brooke

Jeg prøvde skyggen for noen dager siden, og må si, hva en veldig vakker rød!

Det kan til og med være en av de sjeldne røde som er verdig tittelen, “universelt smigrende.”

using the new Dior event Collection makeup combination for the eye
Played out.

That was my very first reaction when I heard about Dior’s new brown-themed eye palette, the $65 event Collection makeup combination for the Eyes.

ANNONSE

For genuine though, doesn’t it seem like everybody as well as their mom has done a brown-themed eye combination by now?? ever since UD naked took the world by storm?

Considering the colors as well as the price, I was about to reject this new one from Dior, however I’m so thankful I didn’t, since I believe it takes well-trodden area to elegant new heights.

The event Collection makeup combination For the Eyes won’t win the Oscar for Flashiest combination From Dior, at least not this holiday season, however dagnabbit if it’s not classy with a funding C.

Who’s that woman with the quilted velvet pouch? My, isn’t she fancy?

Å se! The pouch homes a smooth navy compact with buttery, easy-to-blend powder eyeshadows as well as a midnight black new look Mascara for long, separated lashes, le wow!

Yes, Dior, you’re hitting all the right notes, as well as if this combination were comprised of just these pieces alone, with the cost dropped accordingly, I’d be seriously lured to gift it to my girlfriends.

But (isn’t there always a but?)…

Swatches from the left: Serum Primer, Brow Liner, matte brown eyeshadow, shimmery brown eyeshadow, shimmer beige eyeshadow mini Crayon eyeliner as well as new look Mascara

Teeny, small versions of new look Mascara as well as Crayon eyeliner in 777 Brown

…I feel like Dior dropped the beauty sphere with the other products that include this set, like the serum primer.

I believed that with my combination dry/oily lids, the creamy structure would do wonders for me, however it hasn’t worked out that way. instead of prolonging the wear time of the shadows I wear it with (including these), I believe it really makes them vanish faster!

Plus, the waxy brow liner won’t stay put without the assist of a brow powder. Unless I set it with one, I can’t get it to stick around.

And the bit liner likewise included is so bit that I have a difficult time keeping it sharpened, gah!

It’s difficult to hold these pieces against the entire set/palette when the shadows, mascara as well as packaging get such high marks, however we’re speaking about Dior as well as $65 here. The expectation is for perfection (or darned near it) on all fronts.

PRICE: $65

Nice to satisfy you, Wythe Blue

Oh, hai, Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue. would you like to satisfy my dining room?

Yup, I believe I lastly discovered “my blue.” I don’t understand squat much about house decorating, however when Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue materialized before my eyes on screen last night, I understood it was the one.

It’s referred to as a warm-toned blue influenced by the sea as well as sky, as well as it’s likewise Benajmin Moore’s color of The Year for 2012.

What do ya think? Does it say, “welcoming as well as relaxed dining room,” to you? I like that it reminds me of the beach.

I’m going to pick up a swatch sample this coming weekend as well as paint a patch on the wall. Hopefully, it’ll be just as quite on the walls as I believe it is in pictures.

en mac-besatt høstfe, oktober 2013
Jeg tror høstenfeen har potensial, spesielt hvis jeg kan gjøre det blasted elf ørearbeid, men virkeligheten blir fortalt, det er ikke så behagelig som fjorårets galne feline kvinne utseende. Jeg mener … det er vanskelig å slå pyjamas så vel som en kappe. Så vel som du forstår, jeg handler om komforten.
