Count Down To Tonight’s Oscars

Give me sexy cat eyes like Alicia Keys please!

As we continue our celebration on beauty and get ready for tonight’s Academy Awards here is another favorite of ours, the always beautiful Alicia Keys. Seen here looking simply sexy in her very perfect and striking cat eyes. This look is all about the eyes baby and to get these gorgeous cat eyes we suggest using the Get in Line Eyeliner Kit. You can create cat eyes as thick as Alicia’s seen here or as thin as you like using the cat eye stencil that comes in the kit. Beth’s beauty tip: Apply a black gel eyeliner over the cat eye and keep the color from smudging and budging all night long. Try Onyx gel Liner and apply with a tapered eyeliner brush.

Add some extra sizzle with a silver shimmer eye shadow and apply it to the inner corners of your eye lids. Try Double-O- Silver, $16 at beth benderbeauty.com.

Beth’s little beauty tip: Dampen the brush before applying the shimmer shadow for color that will outlast the night. Finish with a fabulous mascara and apply two coats. Our latest fav is Fiberwig, new from Japan and only available at Sephora.

Keep Your Eyeliner Smudge Free

How can I stop my eyeliner from smearing under my bottom eyelashes? Nothing seems to work!

The secret to perfect looking eyeliner that stays put is layering. Rachel Bilson has mastered the art of perfect eyeliner using her Get in Line Kit and her favorite black eyeliner from Prescriptives. Black eyeliner in particular always has an annoying habit of streaking down one’s cheeks at inappropriate moments, which is why you need to take the extra step to make sure it doesn’t move all day.

Beth says the trick is to apply your eye pencil as you normally would, then use an eye lining brush to go over the line with the exact same color of eye shadow. Blend it in well. The powdery formulation of the shadow locks the color in place and keeps it from going anywhere. For perfect eyeliner like Rachel’s beth suggests trying the Get in Line eyeliner and eyeshadow kit. The stencils allow you to create perfect eyeliner and include a beautiful charcoal and Indian brown eyeshadow.

Don’t forget that if you’re using an eye cream or cream concealers to make sure and powder under the eye using either a powder puff or brush.

Soft Smoky Eyes For Day or Night

Get the Look….smoky eyes done in soft pastels as seen here on Kate Hudson look gorgeous day and night. To get the look apply a sheer wash of a pale, light catching hue around the lashline, sweep what’s left on the brush over the eyelids. Try Goddess Eye Dust from beth bender beauty.

Beth’s beauty tip: Curl your lashes and add a touch of brown mascara to the tips to keep the look soft and delicate. Use your Get in Line Eyeliner Kit to get perfectly shaped smoky eyes and use the fuller end of brush to soften the line as seen here on Kate.
