You can also apply these beautiful bright colors by using a lip liner pencil. This will not only make your lipstick color stay longer, it will also prevent your color from bleeding and will make your lips look fuller.
Eyeliner and lush lashes
This season, the eyeliner is extremely popular; don’t be afraid to draw a cat-like eyeliner! The eyeliner can be applied on the upper and lower lids.

For long-lasting eyeliner, try using a gel eyeliner and applying it with an angled brush. Gel liners stay on longer and give you that dark color you want. Try using Bobbi Brown or Shu Uemura gel liner.
Full, long, lush lashes!
I am loving this years faux lashes. For those who are not blessed with long, full lashes, the best and easy way to get the look is by using a one strip lash.

How to apply false lashes;
1- Clean your natural lashes, don’t use any oily cleaners or oily eye creams, since the oil will prevent the fake lash to glue on.
2- You will probably need to cut off a bit from the ends of your fake lashes so the tips won’t poke the corner of your eyes.
3- Make sure that you are comfortable with the length of the lashes itself, if you find them to long, start cutting a bit from each lash.
4- Apply a little amount of glue on your fake lashes and delicately place them on your natural lashes, you can do so using your fingers or using tweezers , keep eyes slightly closed so the glue won’t stick to the bottom lashes. Using your fingers, gently press the glued fake lashes onto your natural lashes.
5- For those who have straight lashes, slightly curl your lashes with a lash curler, I love using a Shu Uemura’s curler.
6- Once glued on, apply mascara on your natural and fake lashes. This will ensure your fake lashes to stay on longer. You can use waterproof mascara for an even better protection.

Today, we will be presenting you a new and healthier brand of makeup, named Earthnicity.
As we all know, preservatives are used in our cosmetics. Some preservatives used are; Bismuth, Oxychloride, Talc, Parabens, Nano-particles and much more. They are used to prevent and control microbial growth but many have said that by using these preservatives, it can be very harmful to the body. That is why cosmetic companies have started creating non-preservative used products, also knows as All-natural mineral products.

Some interesting historical facts on MAKEUP
Did you know,
- The word COSMETIC was originally found from the latin word COSMETAE (which described the slaves during the roman times, who use to bathe influent romans in perfume)
- Higher class women in the Victorian times would wear very little makeup. Prostitutes, actresses and working class women were the ones who wore makeup on an every day basis.
- Back in the Renaissance times women wanted PORCELAIN white skin, therefore they used Arsenic powder as a foundation. That was immediately discontinued after realizing it was a very unhealthy method.
- The Egyptian times was when makeup had first made it’s appearance. Women use to apply dark colors under their eyelids and darkening their lashes. Difference was, they used CHARCOAL instead eyeliner and mascara. Other natural element were used during those times, such as flower for perfume, Hena for nail polish and beats to stain their lips and checks.
- Ancient romans hated wrinkles, freckles and sunspots, so to soften WRINKLES they would use Swans fat or donkeys milk, and for sores and freckles, they used ashes of a snail.

Hello Everyone,
I recently visited the Chanel counter and found out some great news that I would like to share with you!
CHANEL has recently launched a new collection of lip products called Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss. These lip glosses are marketed as “The Pure Essance of Colour and Shine”
Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss comes in 9 shades;
I completely fell in love with the #56 Imaginaire colour! I wear it all the time, it gives my lips a high-gloss, pigmented look and the best thing about it, is that, it doesnt dry my lips!
These wonderful lip glosses come in a elegant shiny black tubed with gold trim, a little similar to the Rouge Allure Lacques but much taller! The Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss tube is stamped with “Chanel Paris” and “Chanel New York”
The applicator is very different then the traditinal Chanel applicators the Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss applicator is more thinner and more flexible, similar to a triangle shape.
The Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss promises “bold colours and intense shine combined with the smoothest, silkiest gel texture for luxurious wear creates a dramatic effect. Lips feel comfortable – never sticky or tacky – and look luminous, full and sensuous for hours. The double-sided, flocked applicator delivers ultra-precise definition.”
Hope you enjoyed this post!

A couple of weeks a go I got a call from the beautiful and talented Christina Esteban regarding a photo shoot for the “Lunch Box ” Restaurant that soon will be opening in Concordia University. Not only was I scheduled to do makeup for the boys and girls but I was also asked if I wanted to be one of the models. “Hhhhhmmmm!!!! Think! Think! This could be fun!?” so I excepted the challenge.
I always love working with Christina! She’s a breath of fresh air! Check out her site: http://www.christinaestebanphotography.com/
