Celebrity Makeup Daily-"Taylor Swift"

In this photo Taylor's wearing vivid red lips and settle, but shimmery eyes.  The look is "Red Carpet Ready". My suggestions to create this look would be the following:

1) Eye color; for the eyes use a warm brown tone, and sweep over the entire eye lid.

2) Liner; line the eyes for a bit of drama. This can be done by moistening a liner brush and using the same shadow.

Tip: when shadows are mixed with water it adds more density to the color. So remember, always apply with a light hand until you get the desired tone.

3) Next take a champagne color shimmer shadow and lightly brush over the entire lid up to the brow bone and the inner corner of the eyes.

Tip: Placing a light shimmer shadow in the inner corners brightens the eyes, which is a great trick if your eyes appear to be a bit tired.

4.) Mascara; apply mascara on the top and bottom lids. Not too heavy on the top lashes and lightly on the lower. The idea of this look is to let the shimmery eye and vivid lip make the most impact.

5) Brows; for the brows, take a powder shadow and brush over the entire brow to fill while creating and keeping the shape.

Tip: I tend to be a big fan of eyebrow sealer to keep the shape in place.

Rule of Thumb: Dark brows; a shade lighter. Light a shade darker.

5) Load a ton of red lip color on your brush and paint away. Remember to work very neat and carefully. Professional makeup artist love red because of the obvious dramatic effect. However, it's a nightmare to work with and maintain, but oh so lovely!

6) Finally, sweep blush lightly on the apple of the cheeks and your masterpiece should be complete. This is a quick 20-30 min. makeup application, which has a very beautiful "red carpet" look sure to leave a long lasting impression.

On A Side Note: In one of my previous post, I mentioned makeup has no rules because it can be washed off. I also mentioned there are some rules, which do apply. Therefore, when I've stated "Rule of Thumb" in my post, please take note because this is one of the universal rules taught to makeup professionals. Also, this is my first post in this segment. Future post will be simple and to the point. Lol!!

Celebrity Makeup Daily-"Eva Mendez"

In this photo Eva's wearing winged lined eyes, dramatic brows and sexy nude lips. The look is reminiscent of 60's Sex Symbols. My suggestions to create this look would be the following:

1) Eyes; Black Liner and Matte Black Shadow. Starting where your lashes begin, draw a thin line to the outer corner extend it up into a wing about a 1/2". From the middle point to the outer corner, thicken the line. You may want to go over it couple of times by using the matte shadow and a small angled brush to darken the line and fill-in gaps.

2) Brows; Powder Shadow. Following the *rule of thumb; darker/1 shade lighter and lighter/1 shade darker. Use an angled brow brush to fill/shape the brows. For even more drama, use an eyebrow sealer.

3)Mascara; Thickening Black Mascara. Apply several coats to the top and bottom lashes.

4) Blush; Hot Pink Powder. Dust the apple of the cheeks for a natural pinky look.

5)Lips; Nude. Using a lip brush, paint away for a beautiful sexy nude lip. For added "sexiness", use a shimmer or pearly lip color with a hint of pink.
