SMOLDERING SMOKY EYES FOR FALL


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. Use the smoky eye stencil included in each kit to create the perfect smoky eyes as seen here.

BUY ONLINE NOW: The Get in Line Eyeliner & Stencil Kit, $36, Abyssinia Eye shadow from NARS, $22



Cat Eyes With A Twist


Winged Eye Shadow Ala Selma Blair


GET THE LOOK: This is a very different look for Selma Blair who usually goes for softer more subtle eyes, but she was rocking out in shimmery shades of purple earlier this week. 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.

Sultry Smoky Eye Makeup


CELEBRITY BEAUTY-HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL STYLE


GET THE LOOK: Vanessa still looking very bronzed in this photo from touring in Mexico was in good hands when makeup artist Brett Freedman worked his magic. Playing up her glow with makeup that suited her luminous skin and lots of mascara to make those gorgeous eyes pop.

To get Vanessa’s look Bender suggests starting with a touch of DoubleGlow7 from Duwop, a luminous face balm that gives you instant radiance and a must have beauty product. Apply directly to the cheekbones, brow bones, and wherever else you want a beautiful sheen. Can be worn alone or under foundation. Use a cream bronzer and apply to the apple of cheeks blending into hairline. Sweep a rich chocolate shadow all over your eyelids and follow with a light shimmer applied on the lids below the crease. Finish with a few coats of black mascara and make sure to wiggle the wand from the lash roots to the tips for lashes that are sexy and clump free.


BUY ONLINE NOW: Get in Line Eyeliner Kit, $36, DoubleGlow7, $25 , Pink Petal eye shimmer, $16, Cream Bronzer Spring Break, $18, Shu Uemura Basic Black Mascara, $27.50

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.

Hollywood was a-buzzing Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards. Held on the Paramount lot to accommodate everyone attending. Our little beauty spy’s were working the event and said it was lots of fun. Lots of celebrities looking beautiful, many wearing beth bender beauty, and ready for a good time!

The Pussycat Dolls looking gorgeous. Nicole and the girls got their Rock Star smoky eyes using the original Get in Line Eyeliner & Smoky Eye Kit

Also in attendance was the always stylish Paris Hilton. Seen here with Nashville Star Taylor Swift. Oh my it looks as thought Paris wasn’t quite ready for this picture. Love the locks and especially the pink lip color that is still a big fav’ of hers.

Look how happy Britney is, and why not she was a big winner that evening. She really looked beautiful and her style was right on! 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.
