Makeup & Martini's : KAT VON D Autograph Eyeliner

Friday, July 17, 2009

My personal makeup pick this week is BRASS KNUCKLES, a (bright yellow gold) liquid eyeliner from tattoo artist Kat Von D. The Autograph Eyeliner comes in 16 shades and is best used for anyone that loves to wear thin eyeliner or who loves “KAT” eyes. The shimmering colors are very bold, bright, and they dry very fast. The brush is extra slim to help give you a precise inked up line, so you have to be very careful when applying. If not, you may want to leave this makeup item up for the PRO’s. EYEGASM, CALL GIRL, & LOVE METAL will be my next purchase of the Autograph Eyeliner.

Take The Shine Off

Wednesday, July 08, 2009

One of the most asked questions I hear every day is how to maintain a matte look.

Combination and Oily skin makeup wearers have the hardest time when it comes to wearing makeup. Within 20 mins from washing your face you notice your skin looks really dewy, and you overload your face with powder to keep the matte look. Trust me, I understand your dilemma when working long days and traveling from state to state.

Here are a few makeup items that can help you keep that matte look throughout the day.

M.A.C. Cosmetics Blot Powder-Make sure you always press it on because wiping will remove the foundation. Take the puff and turn it upside down that way you don’t add bacteria into the product. $21.00 www.maccosmetics.com

Smash box Anti-Shine Powder Gel- Before foundation, use this item on your T-zone. It also works well if you place it around your lip line to hold your lipstick color. $27.00 www.sephora.com

Cargo High Defintion Mattifier-It’s great for someone with very oily skin and enlarged pores. Gives instant gratification. Works well as a primer before applying foundation. $24.00 www.sephora.com

YSL Matt Touch Foundation- This is a great item because it really leaves the skin matte but not dull or dry looking. $48.00 www.yslbeautyus.com
