More Sexy Cat Eyes Please

Give us your best cats Beyonce and let’s not forget Rhianna too. Both looking very hot. These thick dramatic cat eyes seen here on both ladies is one of our favorite looks. Just in case you weren’t paying attention because we can’t seem to get off the subject of cat eyes, and it seems as if we are not alone.

We just give our readers what they want and according to our lovely new intern Melissa, they want cat eyes. Doesn’t matter how thick or thin and what color they might be in. Just give them cat eyes and keep them coming. If you’re new to our beauty blog and to beth bender beauty then let us first tell you that you can create these very sexy cat eyes using the cat eye stencil and the Get in Line Stencil Kit. The cat eye stencil fits over your eye (fits any eye shape, even Asian) and all you have to do is sweep the color with the brush over the eye and in seconds you’ll be sporting a cat eye. To make it thick like Beyonce and Rhianna just hold the stencil higher above the eyelid and fill in with color.

That’s how easy it is to get a sexy cat eye and best of all you won’t need a dozen tools to get them.

Hilary Duff is still working those smoky eyes. She put the “smoke” in smoky. Her eyes look gorgeous and what’s even sexier are the colors used. Ambers, Violets, and just a touch of dark liner.

Beth Bender's Celeb Looks - The SAG Awards

BEAUTY WATCH – THE SAG AWARDS

These Hollywood celebs looked beautiful and who can blame them with the Golden Globes being cancelled. They needed a reason to get gorgeous and gorgeous they were! Some of my favorites were Angelina Jolie, Andrea Bowen from Desperate Housewives and Marion Cotillard from La Vie En Rose. Make up artists and hair stylists worked overtime to get these ladies to the red carpet on time.

Andrea Bowen looked beautiful with her hair swept up and away from her face. Her make up was flawless and her perfectly groomed brows and sultry smoky eyes took front and center.

To get Andrea’s look start with the eyes first. Andrea went for a more dramatic smoky eye using colors in brown and amber shimmers. Her eyes were lined top and bottom with a black gel eyeliner and set with a bit of shadow for a softer look.

Start by applying color to the entire eyelid area with an eyeshadow brush and blending into the crease as seen here. If you have a Get in Line Eyeliner and Stencil Kit you can use the smoky eye template to create the shape before blending into the crease of eye. Don’t worry about concealer until the eyes are finished. I like to mix both colors before applying to the eye. Try Brown Sugar and Ambra Eye Dust, $16 at bettesboutique.com.

To finish the smoky eyes, with an eyeshadow brush apply a lighter shade to the brow bone making sure to blend color well. A great base color for this is Bobbi Brown’s Champagne Shimmer Wash Eyeshadow, $19 at Bobbi Brown.

Next take your black gel eyeliner and with a tapered or straight edge eyeliner brush carefully tap into the lash line as you line the eye. Extend the line out as seen here on Andrea and finish by lining underneath so that both bottom and top liner meet at the outer eye. As you get closer to the center of eye start to make the line thinner and blend into lash line.

Take a bit of Ambra eye dust with an eyeshadow brush and sweep under the eye to soften the line and give it a more dramatic look. Our new favorite mascara is Fiberwig but a good black mascara will do just fine. Add two coats and make sure to coat each lash for maximum lash appeal.

Clean up any mess underneath the eyes with a bit of eye cream and a Q-tip. Then apply concealer. For a flawless face add a bit of tinted moisturizer or a water based foundation. Use a sponge for more coverage and a brush for a more sheer finish. Try Vincent Longo’s Light Canvas Tinted Moisturizer, $38 or his Liquid Canvas Dew Finish Foundation, $48.50 both fabulous and available at vincentlongo.com.

On the cheeks a little cream blush in either a pink or peach tone adds just the right amount of color without over doing it. Try Kitty or Blushing Bride, $18 and both from bethbenderbeauty.com.

Stick to a light shade on the lips as well. Try Afterglow Lip Enhancing Gloss, $18 from Smashbox Cosmetics. It’s the perfect combination of a pink/peach gloss and has great shine.

Now go get your celeb look on ladies! Stay tuned for more SAG Award Celeb looks.

Beth Bender Beauty Out and About

I spy beth bender beauty

Did anyone happen to catch Britney sporting a new British accent last week while shopping with her already over with close friend Adnan Ghalib? What was that all about? Poor thing. Seen…shopping for a new top and came out wearing one of Betsey Johnson’s cute sweaters. I have two myself, they are so darling.

Did anyone happen to see her whip out her Ooh baby Lip gloss to touch up her lips? That color went perfectly with her new sweater. Even with all of the turmoil that follows her she still manages to find time to give her lips some loving. We do love you Britney.

Seen…Mischa Barton at L.A. nightclub Teddy’s earlier this month. Our beauty spy’s tell us she spent more than a few minutes checking out her eyeliner and adding some Onyx Gel liner to her already lined eyes.

Seen…Amy Winehouse who is still mad for the Get in Line Eyeliner Kit and made a point of telling my friend Carla who is a celebrity artist in The UK and was using hers on a shoot recently. Has anyone seen Amy’s new Blonde do? Gone are the trademark bee hive and long tresses. I think I prefer the darker shade but this may grow on me eventually.

Seen…The always beautiful Scarlett Johansson and beau Ryan Reynolds having dinner in Los Angeles. Our beauty spy’s tell us she excused herself to the ladies room and touched up her lips with some Chasing the Cash Lip color. Our reps tell us she loves the color so much she orders six at a time.

Give Me Smoky Eyes Like Lindsay Lohan

We are well into the new year and smoky eyes are still ruling the red carpet. The color palettes are softer but the smoky eye is still hot. Lindsay Lohan is a big fan of the smoky eye and her green eyes look even greener in this photo.

Want to get sexy smoky eyes like Lindsay? Try using a dark grey shadow mixed with a touch of charcoal shimmer shadow. Line underneath with the charcoal shimmer and finish by lining the inside rim with a black pencil. Adding a few individual lash clusters to the ends of each eye as seen here on Lindsay will make the eyes pop even more.

For perfect smoky eyes every time use the Get in Line Stencil Kit from beth bender beauty and check out the list of celebs already using the kit. Try Slate eye shadow from Bobbi Brown and Bellatrix Eye Dust from beth bender beauty to create the look.

The Get in Line Kit from Beth Bender Beauty

Make sure to give your lashes at least one coat of black mascara. We love LashBlast Mascara from Cover Girl. It’s fantastic and makes your lashes look unbelievable! You can find it at Target, Walmart, CVS, and most drugstores.

Keep Your Eyeliner Smudge Free

How can I stop my eyeliner from smearing under my bottom eyelashes? Nothing seems to work!

The secret to perfect looking eyeliner that stays put is layering. Rachel Bilson has mastered the art of perfect eyeliner using her Get in Line Kit and her favorite black eyeliner from Prescriptives. Black eyeliner in particular always has an annoying habit of streaking down one’s cheeks at inappropriate moments, which is why you need to take the extra step to make sure it doesn’t move all day.

Beth says the trick is to apply your eye pencil as you normally would, then use an eye lining brush to go over the line with the exact same color of eye shadow. Blend it in well. The powdery formulation of the shadow locks the color in place and keeps it from going anywhere. For perfect eyeliner like Rachel’s beth suggests trying the Get in Line eyeliner and eyeshadow kit. The stencils allow you to create perfect eyeliner and include a beautiful charcoal and Indian brown eyeshadow.

Don’t forget that if you’re using an eye cream or cream concealers to make sure and powder under the eye using either a powder puff or brush.

Get Sexy Hollywood Eyes Like Beyonce

Nothing makes the white of your eyes stand out more than lining them with an indigo liner says celebrity artist Beth Bender. As seen on Beyonce here. To get this crisp blue-bordered gaze, start by wetting a slant tip eyeliner brush. It will allow for a more precise line and a deeper color.

Apply a shimmery navy powder shadow across your lashlines making sure to start at the outer corner and work the brush towards the inner corner where you will want to apply the least amount of color. Try Betty Blu Eye Dust, $16 at bethbenderbeauty.com.

Not sure you can create the eyeliner but you love the look? Try the Get in Line Eyeliner Stencil Kit to do these Cat eyes and let them do the work for you.

Quick Beauty Tips For Hollywood Eyes

Combining turquoise and jet black eye shadows sounds strange but the result is gorgeous and gives the eyes a way more powerful punch as seen here on Penelope Cruz. Blue shadow can be a bit intimidating to wear alone because of its boldness, and black is certainly severe, but mixing the two colors creates a deep colorful glow.

To do Beth suggests lining the top lash line with a gel liner so the color stays put and then retracing with a bright blue powder. Try Onyx Gel Liner and Betty Blu Eye Dust both from beth bender beauty to create this look as seen here on Penelope Cruz.

Beth’s beauty trick: For “knock out eyes”, add another hint of tint by dabbing a touch of blue mascara on the tips of your top lashes.

Quick Beauty Tips For Hollywood Eyes

GET THE LOOK: Thick Cleopatra like eyeliner goes well with smoky eyes, but if you want to subtly simmer, try a gradually thinning line, seen here on Angelina Jolie. Use a gel liner to draw a thin rim along upper lashlines. Try Onyx from beth bender beauty. Go over the outer half of each eye one more time, and extend slightly beyond the eye.

INSIDER TRICK: The secret to this look: Line the bottom corner of each eye to accentuate the outer edge and create an exotic almond shape. If done correctly, outer corners will look like a sideways capital Y.

You’ll be purring perfect cat eyes all day long. For purrfect cat eyes using a powder shadow use the Get in Line Stencil kit. Available at bettesboutique.com.

Eva Mendes - Get Her Look

Eva Mendes is such a stunner. Her brows are never out of place and always perfect. If you’re like me and you were an over plucker then may I suggest using an eyebrow stencil to give your brows a finished look and one that is much easier to achieve than doing free hand.

I always recommend Anastasia’s eyebrow stencils because they have the most natural shapes and are easy to use because of their flexibility. One pack of stencils comes with four shapes and will cost you $20. There are also brow kits on the site that come with everything you need to create perfect brows like Eva.

For bang on eyeliner seen here on Eva. Do it like the pro’s with the Get in Line Eyeliner Kit. The top eyeliner stencil lays over the eye and with one sweep of your brush you have perfect liner.

Are you loving these cheeks as much as we are? The color is simply gorgeous. Get this glow using a powder blush and applying to the apple of your cheeks while working the color up and blending into hairline as seen here on Eva. Try Baby Powder Blush from beth bender beauty or Powder Blush in Pink Duo from Stila.

Keep the lips on the sheer side and choose a color that won’t over power the look. Try Chasing the cash Liquid Lip Color from beth bender beauty.
