Honeyshed and Beth Bender Beauty

Have you checked out Honeyshed yet? If you haven’t you must. This site is the first interactive website for shopping. It’s a cross between MTV and QVC and it is really great. I check in everyday just to see what’s new and I have already saved a few of the handbags to my stash. Very, very cute and definitely within my price range.

They have scoured the Internet for products that are unique, and those that are “must have” items. That’s how they found beth bender beauty and the Get in Line Eyeliner Stencil Kit which will be featured on Honeyshed in early January.

The site did a soft launch in October and has been getting a lot of press. It’s the perfect time to take a look and maybe even do a little holiday shopping while you’re there.

Get in Line is Dancing With The Stars

Dancing With the Stars’ Karina Smirnoff showed off her new nose on Tuesday night at the French Connection’s holiday styling event in Los Angeles. She looked beautiful and very happy with her new look. Karina has been seen sporting a sexy cat eye on Dancing With The Stars and revealed to a guest that the make-up artist on set had an eyeliner stencil kit called Get in Line that she fell in love with and had been using to do her cat eyes.

Thank you Karina. We love your cat eyes too!

Sexy Cat Eyes and Red Lips Please

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.

To get this look start with a dark eyeshadow or gel eyeliner in black or dark brown. You can use an eyeliner brush and do it freehand to create the cat eyes seen here. 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.

On her lips a beautiful red hue to compliment her eyes. We like Laura Mercier’s Lip Cream Color in Truly Red, $22 at sephora.com

For extra shine and pout appeal add a touch of Red Glam Gloss. Try Reddy Freddy, $16 at bettesboutique.com

Give Me A Cat Eye Like Kate Bosworth

Cat eyes have become quite a popular trend in beauty and many Hollywood celebs have been seen sporting some very sexy cat eyes. Kate Bosworth and Naomi Watts each look beautiful in their cat eyes. Naomi has chosen a more precise cat eye very similar to what was seen at Prada for fall, while Kate has chosen more of a smoky cat eye as seen at Miss Sixty.

To get this look try The Get in Line Stencil Kit from Beth Bender Beauty, $36 at bettesboutique.com The kit comes with two stencils. One for a smoky eye, and one for a cat eye. The cat eye stencil gives you the option of as thin or as thick of a cat eye you desire.

Finish this look with a pop of color on your cheeks (try Baby Blush from beth bender beauty) and a lip color in a red or rose hue. Try Stick Gloss from Laura Mercier in Courtisane (mauve-rose), $20 at sephora.com or Reddy Freddy Glam Gloss (candy apple red), $16 at bettesboutique.com.

Celeb Looks From Beth Bender Beauty

More celeb looks

Sela Ward is absolutely beautiful and in her fifties if you can believe that! I have always been a huge fan and remember her back in her days as a top model. How gorgeous are her eyebrows? This is why you should keep your tweezers hidden from your teenage daughters. This is a perfect brow.

Seen here at a charity event looking lovely. Sela's look is soft with just enough color to give the skin a beautiful glow. To get Sela's look start by lining the eyes with a black or dark brown liner. Try Gel Eyeliner Cocoa, or Onyx, ($18, bettesboutique.com ) Line the eyes as close to the lash line as possible. This will make the lashes appear even thicker and give the eyes an alluring look.

Next, fill in your brows for a more finished look as seen on Sela. Choose a color that is slightly lighter than your brow color and apply with an angled brush using short strokes. Another great way to get perfect brows is to use an eyebrow stencil. We love Anastasia's Classic Stencils. You can buy the stencils separately and each pack comes with four designs. ($20, sephora.com ).

Add a touch of shimmer on the eyelid with a color in light bronze or gold. Try Zsa Zsa or Ginger Eye Dust from beth bender beauty. ( $16, bettesboutique.com ) Highlight the brow bone with a color that will accent your fabulous eye brows. Try Buttercream from Laura Mercier ($20, sephora.com ) Finish with two coats of black mascara. Try Here To Stay Mascara from Prescriptives. ($19.50, prescriptives.com )

For the cheeks, we like bronzer in peach instead of a blush. It gives the skin a beautiful glow and slight shimmer with just enough color. Try Just Peachy Bronzer, a favorite of Jessica Alba ($30, bettesboutique.com )

To finish the look a lip color in a nude beige will enhance your own natural lip color and be the perfect compliment to your beautiful eyes! Try Robertson Blvd Liquid lip color. Enhanced with Jojoba Gel for extra shine and perfect pout appeal. ($16, bettesboutique.com )

Beth Bender Beauty Celeb Look

Halle Berry is stunning and pregnancy is definitely agreeing with her. Every photo of her shows a woman glowing and looking more beautiful than ever! Her look here is soft and sultry for a perfect "out on the town" evening look .

To create start by sweeping a shimmery peach shadow over lids. Try Zsa Zsa eye dust from Bettes Boutique. Line eyes using the Get in Line stencil kit with Kohl eyeshadow and smudge for a softer line. For lush lashes like Halle’s, apply two coats of mascara. Try Here to Stay from Prescriptive's. It thickens and lengthens your lashes without looking clumply.

On the face apply a tinted moisturizer in place of foundation. Mix with a skin brightening cream for a luminous glow. Try Vibrant from prescriptive's. Choose a dark berry blush and apply to apples of cheeks. We like Butterflies Blush from Beth Bender Beauty,.$30.00 at bettesboutique.com.

Beth Bender Beauty Celeb Looks

Get The Look

We love Eva Mendes! She always looks so beautiful without being overdone. She has probably the best eyebrows I've seen on a celebrity.

The make up is light and looks gorgeous. To create Eva's look start with a touch of tinted moisturizer to even out your complexion before applying color. This will give you coverage without feeling too heavy. We like Paula Dorf's Tinted Moisturizer and Cover Fx. They both offer the right amount of color and are easy to blend. I like to mix mine with a bit of Vibrant cream from Prescriptive's. It adds a bit of sheen and gives the skin a luminous look.

Once you have applied the tinted moisturizer, start with the eyes next. We like to use the Get in Line Stencil kit whenever we are doing eyeliner or giving a lesson to a client. It is easy and gives you a perfect line in seconds. Before we use the stencils we apply a shimmer on the eyelid to make the eyes pop. We used Ambra from Bettes Boutique. It is a golden taupe shade neutral enough to work on any skin tone. We applied the color with our fingers and pressed onto the eyelid. Then we lined the eyes with the Kohl shadow from the Get in Line kit. We smudged the eyes with the fuller end of the brush for a softer line.

For outstanding lashes we used Here To Stay from Prescriptive's and applied two coats for a very sexy eye.

The cheeks got a bit of color with Baby Blush from Beth Bender Beauty. This color looks great on anyone. It's a favorite of Nicole Ritchie and Evangeline Lilly from Lost. On the lips we used lip color in Livid from Bettes Boutique. A great pink color with brown undertones that looks beautiful on any lip.

The most important feature not to forget are the eyebrows which should be groomed and shaped. The easiest way to do this is to use an eyebrow stencil. We like Anastasia's. They do the work for you and show you how to groom and maintain perfect brows.

Get in Line Lip Stencils?

We've been getting a lot of emails from customers asking us if we intend to create a Lip Stencil to follow the Get in Line Stencil Kit. At the time when we were designing the templates for the eyeliner stencils we thought about doing a lip stencil but decided to focus on Just eyes.

Since then there have been a few companies who have explored lip stencils and we think it is a great idea but for the time being we don't have any plans to create one. We will be offering the Get in Line stencil kit in different colors scheme's sometime later next year. We want to give our customers more choices when buying the kit.

In the meantime we are including a full size sample of Paris is Burning liquid lip color from our Nude Collection in every purchase through November. It's a beautiful lip color in a pink beige shimmer infused with Jojoba gel for amazing shine and color.
