COLORFUL SMOKY EYE TUTORIAL

 

I created this instructional video to show women that they are not restricted to shades of gray or black when creating a smoky eye look. There is a vast rainbow of eye color shades on the market so why limit yourself? A great example of high quality but low priced eyeshadow palettes are those created by UK-based, mass market cosmetic brand Sleek MakeUP. I was lucky enough to meet Malika Joaille and Taniqua Bennett from the line earlier this year and received several products to Review. They are incredible! 

Today's Eye Makeup Tutorial features Sleek MakeUp's I-Divine eyeshadow palette in  "The Original" (see picture above). You'll definitely be seeing and hearing more about Sleek MakeUP and their products in the future. I can't wait for their website to be up and running again so all us gals in the U.S. can get our hands on their fabulous products!!!

"BRONZER" MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Want to look healthy and tanned without subjecting your skin to the damaging rays of the sun or tanning booth? Then think bronzer my friend!  Some people think bronzer is just for the summer but as the weather cools its nice to give your skin alittle warmth.  Not sure how to use bronzer to get a natural looking glow, then check out the video below.

Bronzer should be applied to the parts of the face that normally get the most sun (top of cheekbones, down center of nose, tip of chin and center of the forehead). It looks most natural if you use a natural matte product or one with subtle shimmer and apply with a light hand. You can always add more product if necessary but apply too much and it can make your face look dirty or muddy.
