CELEBRITY BEAUTY 101-SMOKY EYES




Does anyone ever really tire of seeing how celebrities get red carpet ready? I know I don’t but I am also a makeup junkie as you all know. As in the case of Katherine Heigl seen here wearing her royal blue smoky eyes with such great confidence. Is this look too much? I think not. That is the beauty behind creating a gorgeous smoky eye, it doesn’t always have to be done in black. Blues, pastels, purples, bronze and earth tones all do the job quite nicely.

When you choose a brighter hue, consider a more subtle smoky eye as seen here on Katherine. Less is more and your peepers will think so too! Make sure to apply the color along the upper and lower lashline and blend into the crease using a sweeping motion with your brush.


INSIDER TRICK: When using loose shimmer shadows to create this look make sure to tap off your brush before applying the color. This will ensure that you don’t add too much and allow you to build the color.

For anyone wishing to go the extra beauty mile, you can add a few individual lashes on the ends of each eye and finish with two generous coats of rich black mascara.

You are red carpet ready baby!

Get Gorgeous Hair Now


AMAZON BEAUTY INTRODUCES TWO NEW HAIR REMEDIES

For anyone who knows me, they know I am extremely picky about my hair care products so when the ladies over at Madeline Johnson Public Relations sent me a sample of each to review I was all over it.

Rahua Shampoo and Conditioner pays tribute to all of the beautiful women of the Amazon Rainforest. It is so natural, all the way down to the great smelling ingredients used to create these amazing products. Ingredients that have been used by Amazon native tribal women for thousands of years.



Both the shampoo and conditioner are free of chemical preservatives, and include key elements such as the Rahua nut which promotes long, healthy, strong hair. Each are made with rainforest grown ingredients, such as Rahua Elixir which repairs damaged hair and Palo Santo which imparts a beautiful aroma.

The result, my hair felt so beautiful, so shiny and my favorite part...so thick. I couldn't believe it was my hair. After many years of coloring my hair I have definitely noticed a big difference in the texture and weight, so imagine how happy I was to see how well my mane responded to these products.



Amazon Beauty was founded by Fabian Lliguin and his wife Anna Ayers. Both are very involved in protecting the Amazon Rainforest, working with native tribes and nationalities to help protect intellectual property rights and preserve the beauty of the planets largest living and breathing renewable natural resource.

To learn more about these truly amazing products and the two beautiful people behind them, visit their website Amazonbeautysecret.com or rahua.com. All products are available for purchase online.

THE GIRLS ARE IN THE HOUSE

Ever wonder what life is like in your 30’s and 40’s when it comes to beauty? Just take a look at these three Hollywood beauty’s who are living proof that getting older really does mean getting better.


Courteney Cox seen here with Demi Moore and best pal Jennifer Aniston is on the cover of this months Marie Claire. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but so hilarious and genuine when it comes to her candid thoughts on living in Hollywood, being a celebrity and the hang ups that most women have about getting older. Yes ladies even celebrities like Courteney Cox get a little insecure sometimes.


The oh so gorgeous Courteney Cox from the pages of Marie Claire Magazine this month.


The good news is 40 is the new 20 and there is no time like the present to take that yoga class you have been wanting to try (we just loooove Bikram), going on that hike with your best pal, changing your hair color or hair style and yes ladies wearing a sexy, smoky eye just because you can.

Today and everyday celebrate you!! Take time for you and remember “it is not how old you are, but how you are old.” My dad told me this on my 40th birthday and I never forgot it.

Tips for Healthy Skin

Making the transition from summer to fall is always a little tricky when it comes to your skin. It is common for your face to feel especially dry as the weather begins to change. The best way to make the transition from summer skin to fall is to start by exfoliating the areas on your face that are the most dry. I like to use a soft cloth and gently rub in a circular motion to remove any dead or dry skin.

St Ives Elements Olive Scrub is perfect for this. It gently exfoliates leaving the skin feeling soft and moisturized. It is available at most drugstores along with a full line of skin care products.

St Ives Elements Olive Scrub

Depending on how dry your skin is during the day you can go a little heavier when choosing a moisturizer. I prefer something thick that my skin can absorb and keep it looking dewy and fresh all day. Loreal has a fantastic line of skin care products that won’t break your bank account. They have more than one line to choose from and cater to women of any age who are as obsessed with their skin as I am.

HOW TO CREATE EASY SEXY CAT EYES IN MINUTES

With so many tips and tools available, creating them has become even easier.

All you have to do is lay the stencil over your eye and fill in with color. Voila! It’s that simple.

SPARKLING SMOKY EYES


GET THE LOOK: These gorgeous eyes were created for the Halston show by make up artist extraordinaire Tom Pecheux. “The idea behind these eyes was to re-create pictures from Studio 54 as the women were leaving” says Pecheux. Saying that their eyes were even more smoldering and sexy as they were exiting the famous night club. The result was a smudgy more sultry smoky eye that any diva from Studio 54 would be proud to sport.

INSIDER TRICK: To get a smoky eye with a hint of shimmery intrigue, Beth Bender of beth bender beauty suggests mixing the black and brown shadows from her Get in Line Eyeliner Stencil Kit and finishing with a touch of Abyssinia from NARS (a delicate pearl sheen) and applying to the brow bone to highlight the eye.

Winged Eye Shadow Ala Selma Blair

Instead of the usual smoky eyes in gray she decided on softer feminine shades in purples and lavenders. A smoky cat eye created by flaring out a triangle at the outer corners of the eyes.


INSIDER TRICK: To
get perfectly pointed cat eyes like Selma and do them with ease, Bender suggests using her cat eye liner stencil and eyeshadow kit in TDF or OMG! To flatter wide-set eyes, apply more pigment on the inner corners of your eye lids and sweep color up towards your brows. If your eyes are close-set keep the focus on the outer corners.

FASHION WEEK NYC 2009

Wow, what an amazing start to what looks to be a fabulous spring for fashion and beauty. Fashion week kicked off last Friday in NYC and the shows have been unbelievable. The city is buzzing with celebrities and super models and the mood is inspiring.

One of my favorite designers showed her spring collection to rave reviews and the clothes were just beautiful. Diane von Furstenberg has always been about prints, and her spring-summer 2009 collection did not disappoint.

A Kaleidoscope of butterflies, florals, hummingbirds and more printed on flowing silks and woven into knit. Ms. Furstenberg is the master of putting together combinations that would look odd for anyone else, but she has a knowledge that extends far beyond this and the result is just outstanding. Pictured here with a few of the models and each looking just gorgeous.

The make-up created for the show was also on point with Gucci Westman heading up the team. Gucci, a seasoned pro new exactly how to design a look that would compliment the clothing. Her 60’s inspired smoky eyes and pale pink lips were just the right touch for this retro look.

So happy to see that smoky eyes are strong for the fall season, and so far the spring/summer shows say they will continue to be. We just never get tired of seeing them. So many variations, so many ways to create a smoky eye.

-beth bender for beth bender beauty

She actually stopped one of our gals to tell her how much she loved her new BFF KIt. All those awards and people to see yet she still managed to find time to stop and chat. We just love you Britney!

And finally the beautiful mom to be Ashley Simpson. Hard to tell from here but her make-up looked radiant and her style was elegant. Dressed in a floor length gown that showed off her baby bump, she was beaming from head to toe. Our beauty spies caught her in the lounge touching up her already perfect eyes with her BFF Kit and her gel eyeliner in Onyx.

SEXY SMOKY EYES THAT ROCK!!


MAKE A SPLASH WITH SILVER SHIMMER EYES



Katherine McPhee shows us how gorgeous a rich silver liner can look. “The secret to doing these beautiful eyes is to create a gradual transition from a sheer lavender to a smoky gray on your lids” say beth bender of beth bender beauty.
