Carmen’s new Look

Tell us what you think..

I do love Carmen Electra. I usually love the way she looks but I have to agree with Christina from ebeautydaily. I am not sure that this is the shot that Max factor should be using to promote their”how to get Carmen’s red carpet couture look”.

Pat McGrath is probably one of the most recognized artists along with Dick Page and Tom Pecheux but what goes on with this look? Her teeth are so over the top not to mention how overly photoshoped her complexion is.

My favorite Carmen look is hair down, loose waves and definitely less of the eye make up as seen here.

agree or disagree?

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.

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.

Sultry Smoky Eyes for The Holidays

Smudged liner and a hint of metallic shimmer eye shadow define this season's smoky eye. For a modern, glam look, Beth suggests lining your top and bottom lash lines with a black pencil and smudging with a brush or Q-tip to get this look. Try Prescriptives Soft Lining Pencil in Black. ($17.50, prescriptives.com) Then finish by sweeping a charcoal powder shadow across the lower lid and above the crease, almost to the brow bone as seen here. Try Bellatrix Eye Dust. ($16,Bettesboutique.com) Add a light dusting of loose shimmer powder over the entire eye, making sure to sweep under the lash line too. Try Pretty All Over Shimmer.

Party Perfect Beauty Tips

The Holidays are in full swing and what better time to share a few tips and keep your make-up and hair looking fresh and fabulous.

To keep you lips from smudging Beth says to apply just a little lip color or a lip stain instead of a creamy lipstick and blot the excess with a tissue. To prevent lipstick on teeth, after applying place your index finger in your mouth and close your lips over it. Then gently pull out. Finish with a touch of gloss for extra shine.

For eye-makeup that stays put, Beth says to dust a bit of translucent powder over the eye first before applying color. This will absorb the oils and ensure longer lasting color. For eyeliner with staying power try using a Gel eyeliner instead of a pencil. It’s water resistant and when set with a powder shadow will not budge for hours and hours.

Ashlee Simpson loves Beth Bender Beauty’s Gel Eyeliner in Onyx.($18,bettesboutique.com)

For hair that won’t behave and flyaways that continue to drive you mad throughout the night, Beth suggests using a hand lotion to smooth strands. Rub a tiny amount of lotion between palms and then lightly run hands over your style. If your hair is fine apply only a tiny, tiny amount.

For holiday eyes that sizzle, Beth suggests using an eyeliner stencil to get sultry smoky eyes and purrfect cat eyes. She likes the Get in Line Stencil Kit which comes with everything you need to create these looks.

Dramatic Eyes For The Holidays

Ashlee Simpson does a soft smoky eye that sizzles!

This little lady flatters her fair complexion by creating a soft update on the smoky eye. The key is to dust a brown shadow around the whole lash line as seen here and then apply a black kohl liner on the inside rim of eye. Concentrate on the outer part of eye going a little heavier towards the end of eye as seen on Ashlee.

Try Brown Sugar eye dust, $16 at bettesboutique, infused with flecks of green and gold shimmer for dazzling eyes anytime. For easy eyeliner and smoky eyes that look great do what Ashlee and Jessica Simpson do and try the Get in Line Stencil kit. No more guessing. Step by step directions for smoky eyes that look hot and everything you need to create them in minutes.

Easy Eyeliner With The Get In Line Kit

I just recently read a blog that was written by Elke Von Freudenberg, who is the founder of the Beauty Blog network. She was talking about this product called Color on Pro which are these stick ons for the eyes that give you instant eyeshadow.

At first she was excited that something so simple might really work but in the end she was disappointed by the end result. There are very few things that really help with lining the eyes, but the Get in Line Kit really does.

The other night I was going to a Holiday party and wanted to do a really dramatic smoky eye. Since I had taken so long doing my hair, I had only a few minutes to do my eyes.

I started by lining the inside of my eye with a black pencil and then using the smoky eyeliner stencil to do my top eye. Then I used the same smoky eye stencil to apply eyeliner to my bottom eyes and finished by smudging the eyeliner into the eyelid for a beautiful sultry smoky eye. This took all of five minutes.

I added two coats of mascara and even had time to add a few individual lashes. My eyes looked so great that even my boyfriend noticed.

Ladies, this is the only kit out there for lining your eyes with ease. My sister uses it everyday and her Cat eyes always looks perfect. It makes a great gift and if you purchase before the 31st of December you will receive a full size sample of Little Beauty Liquid Lip Color. A gorgeous color on any complexion.

Cheers!

Holiday Beauty Tips From Beth Bender

Jennifer Garner’s Dramatic Eyes

Makeup artist Beth Bender suggests when creating this look on yourself to start with the eyes first. Start by lining the eyes with a black powder eyeshadow and line around the entire eye area. Keeping the line much thinner as you get closer to the inner corner of eye as seen her on Jennifer. Beth suggests using the Get in Line Stencil kit for lining both the top and bottom of eye.

Use your Cat eye stencil for the cat eye as seen here on Jennifer and the Bottom eyeliner stencil to line the bottom eye. Once you have lined the bottom eye use your brush to soften the line. Continue with this look by brushing a mixture of silver and lavender shadow on the upper inner eyelid and follow with a deep purple shadow from the outer corner, swept in. Try Double-o-Silver and Goddess Eye Dust, $16 at beth bender beauty. Make sure to blend all the shadow shades together to create "a seamless, smoky eye." Finish with two coats of mascara. Try Dior Show Mascara.

Keep the rest of your face soft with color. Try Baby Powder Blush and finish with a touch of Poppy Lip color from Laura Mercier.

Holiday Celeb Looks- Sexy Cat Eyes

Thandie Newton's Cat Eye

Add allure for special occasions with a sultry cat eye. Makeup artist Beth Bender says to start with a natural matte shadow over the entire eyelid and then create the cat eye. She recommends using the Get in Line Stencil System which will do a cat eye as thin or as thick as you like. Seen here on Thandie Newton. For a more dramatic look, line underneath the eye using the bottom liner stencil from the kit and smudge with your brush for a soft sexier look. Frame the eyes with a rosy beige blush, try Baby, $26 at bettesboutique.com and highlight the cheeks with Shiseido Glistening Flush.

More Sexy Cat Eyes Please

It seems as though some Hollywood celebs just can’t get enough of this frisky feline trend. It’s a great look for anytime and makes the eyes look super sultry and sexy as seen here on Rihanna.

She is working those eyes and I am loving those red and very shiny lips. Rihanna happened to stop by an event I was doing back in July in Los Angeles and picked up a few things from the line. One of them being the Beth Bender Beauty Get in Line Stencil Kit and you can see how amazing her cat eyes look.

It really is a no brainer and it really is that easy. It’s a great look for the holidays and one that you will be seeing a lot of. Want Rihanna’s cat eyes? Check out the Get in Line kit at bettesboutique.com. If you like to travel light we have them in a travel set as well.

Check out Madonna’s new look that she unveiled at a screening of her husband’s new flick. I happen to love this look on her but most importantly check out her cat eyes. They look amazing. This is one beauty trend I hope never goes out of style!

Sexy Smoky Cat Eyes Please

I have always thought Kerry Washington was stunning but this photo of her is off the charts! She is working that smoky look like nobody’s business and her almond shape eyes make them even more dazzling. Someone spent a lot of time making those eyes gorgeous and it shows.

To get this look try a deep charcoal shadow and extend the color to the base of the brow bone as seen here. I call this a smoky cat eye because it looks like a smoky eye but has a point like a cat eye. You can use a softer shimmer shadow in a dark silver or one without shimmer depending on how dark you want the eye.

Make sure to really blend the color and for a little pop add a bit of gold or light bronze shimmer to the corner of eyes. Finish by lining the inside of your eyes with a black liner and two coats of black mascara, concentrating on the outer lashes.

For sexy cat eyes like these check out The Get in Line Eyeliner & Stencil Kit at bettesboutique.com

Keep your lips sheer so the focus is on your sexy cat eyes. Try Chasing the Cash liquid lip color from beth bender beauty, new from the Hollywood Nude Collection.

Sexy Smoky Eyes That Sizzle!

Kiera Knightley is really working these sultry and very sexy smoky eyes. This is such a great look for her and when she is gracing the red carpet you can usually find her sporting a gorgeous pair of smoky eyes. To get Kiera’s look try a shimmer eyeshadow in Aubergine and make sure to blend the color around the entire eye. Try Stila’s Barefoot Contessa, $16 at sephora.com or Beth Bender Beauty’s eye dust in All About Me, $16 at bettesboutique.com

Make sure to blend the color up into the crease of eye and highlight the brow bone with a touch of eyeshadow in a bone or banana shade depending on your complexion. Try Buttercream from Laura Mercier, $20 at sephora.com or Banana eyeshadow from Bobbi Brown, available at bobbibrown.com

Finish with two coats of mascara, try Lash Injection, $19.50 from Too Faced Cosmetics. This mascara coats each lash from top to bottom and adds volume and length in seconds. It’s the perfect finish to compliment your gorgeous smoky eyes. As always for those gals who have trouble with a smoky eye we suggest the Get in Line Eyeliner & Stencil Kit from Beth bender Beauty, $36 at bettesboutique.com.

Holiday Eyes That Sizzle!

Ladies:

It’s that time of year again and the holiday parties are a perfect reason to have some fun with your make-up. Try a silver shimmer shadow (Double O Silver) $16, bettesboutique.com in place of a darker shadow when doing a smoky eye or just applying some color on the eyelid. As seen here on Jessica Alba who looks gorgeous. It makes the eyes pop and not much more is needed.

Jessica has added a darker line closer to her lashes for some extra pop appeal. Keep the brows clean and not to heavy. Try Gel Liner in Onyx, $16 at bethbenderbeauty.com and for perfect eyebrows may we suggest Anastasia’s Brow Ex-Press Kit, $38 at sephora.com. Her eyebrow stencils are the best for creating gorgeous eyebrows.

For those gals who need a little something more, may we suggest adding a few individual lashes to the ends of each eye. They are easy to use and fit right into your own lashes giving them a much more natural look. Once the eyelash glue has dried, go over each eye with a coat or two of mascara concentrating on the outer lashes.

Keep your lips sheer so not to over power your sexy sizzling eyes. Try Happy Glam Gloss, $16 at bettesboutique.com. Also LORAC’s Guava Tiki lip gloss, $16 at sephora.com, a sheer peachy pink lip color.

Best Smoky Eye Kit For Women On The Go

I was waiting on line this morning at the grocery store and had a few minutes to skim through this weeks People Magazine. I stumbled upon a page of Smoky eye Kit’s from various cosmetic companies wondering where The Get in Line Stencil Kit was since it is the easiest and has the least amount of steps to achieve a smoky eye and cat eye that look just as fabulous.

So I decided to write and remind anyone in search of the perfect smoky eye kit to check out the Get in Line Eyeliner and Stencil Kt from Beth Bender Beauty, available at bettesboutique.com.

Most of the women I know don’t have time but they all love beauty products and love the idea of having sexy eyes and a five minute make up routine that keeps them on schedule. Just this weekend while we were away I brought a few Get in Line kits with me and gave one to each of the women there. In seconds they had done perfect cat eyes and smoky eyes.

It was so amazing and beautiful to watch their transformation and to see how excited they each were to have mastered what was once a difficult task.

The Get in Line Stencil Kit is $36 and comes with everything you need to create beautiful sexy eyes. If the kit is not what you need then may we suggest the Travel Stencil Set, $16, which comes with the stencils, brush and directions in a cute little pouch.

Smoky eyes are just seconds away!

Look Whose Wearing Beth Bender Beauty

Check it out….

Is Drew Barrymore no longer with Justin Long? No one knows for sure but she seemed to be very happy while playing a game of pool and having a few beers at a bar in Toronto earlier this month. She also seemed quite happy with the response that her pretty lips were getting from the gentleman in question.

That lip color would be of course Chasing the Cash liquid lip color from beth bender beauty and seen on the lips of lots of celebs here in Hollywood. You may recall that sometime in September we also spotted Drew having dinner with Justin at Matsuhisa in LA and giving him a big kiss as they exited the restaurant wearing what else? Chasing the cash Liquid Lip color. I guess it's not only a great lip color but also sweet for kissing too!
