More Sexy Smoky Cat Eyes

Rachel McAdams Red Carpet Smoky Eyes

Rachel McAdams blazed the red carpet this week with shimmer-rimmed eyes topped by loads of matte charcoal smoky shadow. Her eyes purred with perfection and she got a big thumbs up from us for a super gorgeous smoky-cat eye.

Beth says it’s all about where you place the color that will give you the look you desire. She suggests mixing a dark chocolate and charcoal eyeshadow together and applying from the outer corner of eye using a soft eye shadow brush. Bring it back toward the iris and blend into the crease to create the smoky-cat eye look seen here on Rachel.

An even easier way to get this look is to use the cat eye Stencil from the Get in Line Eyeliner Kit (both shadows included) placing it higher on the eyelid will give you a thick and smoky cat eye with a strong point on the outer eye like Rachel’s. Soften the edges with your eyeshadow brush and finish with an icy shadow near the inner corner of the eye that extends to the iris and sweep the color on the lower lashline too. Try Abyssinia, a delicate pearl sheen shadow from NARS.

For added eye popping appeal use a black gel eyeliner to line along the lashline. Apply to the outer eye area and blend into the center of eyes rather than lining the entire eye. Repeat the same on the bottom. Try Onyx Stay Put gel Eyeliner, $18 at bethbenderbeauty.com

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.

Give Your Skin a Heathy Glow

The winter is usually the time when we begin counting the days until we can once again bask in the warm sun and leave our parka’s and wool sweaters packed away for at least four months. I for one am not a big fan of the cold and one of the reason’s why I relocated to Los Angeles almost three years ago.

One way to give yourself a quick pick me up is to use a little bronzing powder or cream. It will give your skin a beautiful glow and you’ll feel like you just got back from the beaches in St Tropez. During the month of January beth bender beauty is giving your skin a little extra glow with Sunkiss All Over Shimmer. For each purchase of any beth bender beauty products recieve a complimentary sample. Our gift to you!

If you are a bronzer goddess you might try Soak up the sun bronzer, also from beth bender beauty and a favorite of Evangeline Lilly from the hit show Lost.

Michelle J. Mills who is a staff writer for the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group met with us back in early December. She was very interested in hearing about the Get in Line Eyeliner Kit and how it all began back in New York.

We had so much fun talking to Michelle about everything from beauty regimes, exercise, finding your inner beauty, How to feel beautiful at any age, kids, and before we knew it a couple of hours had passed and here is the result.
