Go Pink For Spring

Uma goes Pink for Spring showing us that even she who usually goes for the more subdued lip color is drawn towards the sweetness of a sexy pink lip.

There are so many to choose from but when choosing make sure to select a color that will suit your skintone. If you are fair with more pink in your coloring go for a color with blue undertones, and warmer skintones should look at colors with brown and golden undertones. You will know as soon as you apply it that it is the right shade.

If you are buying online make sure to ask before purchasing to make sure you are getting the right color. Sephora is a great place to check out new beauty products in a “no hassle” environment. Try on a pink lipstick or lip gloss and see how it wears before buying. As always any questions that you don’t find on our beauty blogs can be answered by emailing us at bettesboutique@gmail.com. We have lots of experts on hand to help with all of your beauty needs.

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.

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.

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.

Sexy Cat Eyes and Red Lips Please

A lot of ladies have been seen sporting red lips in all shades, shimmer, no shimmer, cream, matte, sheer and shine. We’ve always loved Kate Moss for her style and sassy way’s. She’s not afraid to try anything and most of the time she looks great.

Ashlee Simpson is working these cat eyes and sexy red lips. This is such a great look on her and from the expression on her face she seems to be feeling it too! She loves to play up her beautiful green eyes and is a smoky eye girl too.

That may require a number of q-tips and make -up remover until they are perfect or you can use the Get in Line eyeliner stencil kit and let the stencils do the work for you.

You can create cat eyes as long and as thin or thick as you like. Ashlee uses the Get in Line kit to create her cat eyes and then sets them with Gel liner in Onyx so they stay put all day.
