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!

Celebrities Wearing Beth Bender Beauty

I SPY BETH BENDER BEAUTY Sheryl Crow and son Wyatt doing a little shopping in Santa Monica. Our Beauty spies tell us she stopped to give her lips a little shine before heading into Peets Coffee for a little pick me up. Her color you ask? Kiss this Guy Liquid lip glaze. Fit for any rock star goddess as cool as Sheryl. FYI one of our readers had emailed us about what color bronzer she wears. That would be "Soak up the Sun". Nothing like a little inspiration from one of our favorite female Nicole Richie artists.



SEEN Nicole Richie at an event in Beverly Hills for Prada. This little mama looks gorgeous since giving birth to her beautiful baby Harlow. Her style is unique and her shoe collection is something to see. As tiny as she is she can strut her stuff like the best of them. She did us proud wearing her Chasing the Cash Lip glaze and her cream shadow in Ginger Shimmer. We sent her the new Get in Line Eyeliner Collection for Spring that she loves and will soon be available at bethbenderbeauty.com.



NEW to beth bender beauty and someone whose smoky eyes attract lots of attention, Hilary Duff. We get so many women emailing us about Hilary's smoky eyes and how to get them. Who knew they were so popular? The easiest way is to use the Get in Line eyeliner kit for smoky eyes and cat eyes. It takes all of the guessing out of where to place the color and how to get the correct shape. We sent her a Get in Line eyeliner kit which she loves and the new kit for spring. Also sent was an Ooh Baby Lip glaze, Robertson Blvd Lip Glaze and A little Crush powder blush.



SEEN Carrie Underwood backstage at Idol Gives back in Hollywood. She looked simply beautiful. This country girl has come a long way since winning American Idol a few seasons back. Our backstage beauty spies tell us she was all about the pink. Tallulah High Shine gloss, A Little Crush powder blush each got a beauty nod, as well as her perfect gel eyeliner in Onyx.

Sexy Eye-Popping Eyeliner

ULTRA THICK EYE LINER = SEXY EYES

GET THE LOOK and take your eyeliner from the office to the dance floor with a sexy thick line as seen here on Leighton Meester. The look is sophisticated and not too heavy and keeps the focus on the eyes. Use a rich black gel liner so the color doesn’t smudge. Try Onyx Stay Put Gel Liner and apply it thicker at the outer ends and taper the line as you get closer to the inner eye as seen here on Leighton.

For extra eye popping glam add some false lashes like Leighton. Make sure to cut the lashes to fit your own eyes before applying, and add a coat of mascara once the glue has dried.

Beth Bender’s beauty trick: To brighten up the white of your eyes, sweep a navy blue eye shadow along the top of your black liner and blend it into a blue smoky hue that off sets the redness in your eyes. Try Bette Blu Eye Dust from beth bender beauty and a fav of Courteney Cox.

Red Carpet Celebrity Beauty

DEBRA MESSING GIVES US RED CARPET GLAM

SPRING IS IN THE AIR and Debra Messing is working those sexy smoky eyes and gleaming cheeks. Her make up is flawless and her skin is radiant. Love those smoky eyes? Get them no problem with the Get in Line smoky eye stencils and Sexy Eyes Kit, a fav on the set of Lipstick Jungle and Dirt and both from beth bender beauty. Create eyes just like Debra's using the colors in the kit or for a more dramatic look try the Get in Line Smoky Eye Kit. Use a black gel eyeliner to line around the eyes and make sure to extend and thicken the line at the outer corners as seen here on Debra. Try Stay Put Gel Liner in Onyx.

Get sweet and sexy cheeks like Debra's using a pale pink or pale peach shimmer blush. To get just right gleam apply the color to the apple of cheeks while smiling. Make sure to swirl the color on the peak of the apple of your cheeks. Try Pearly Pale Pink 134 powder blush from Make Up Forever or Orgasm powder blush from NARS, both available at Sephora and Sephora.com.

YEAH BABY you're red carpet ready!
