The Basic Blended Eye

I created this neutral, everyday look using just 3 colors from the Kat Von D True Romance Eye Shadow Palette in Saint. Heavens, a shimmering irridescent white, <3, a mostly matte flesh-tone, and Caravaggio, a mostly matte mocha brown. Of course you can use any 3 similar colors to recreate this look because it's all in the blending! For step 1, I used the Smashbox tapered shadow brush #7. To create the outer v in step 3 I used the Smashbox definer brush #15. For blending in step 4 I used a stiff, domed crease brush with short bristles, like the MAC 217.

This look is perfect for everyday, & its gorgeous with bright red lips!

How to: Quick Fix for Mascara Mishaps

For my first ever pictorial, a quick & easy way to clean up those dots of mascara that you get all over your skin when you almost stab yourself, or when you try to get your bottom lashes but keep getting mascara all under your eye...

All you need is a clean, disposable mascara wand. You can buy a package of them at the drugstore or at Sally's Beauty Supply. They're a good investment because you can use them to remove accidental mascara smudges, blend & tame eyebrows, brush out eyelash extensions, etc... And they're cheap. Make sure the smudge is completely dry, then gently scrape it off and you won't have to fix your eye makeup again! Saves my life almost every morning! You're welcome ;)
