Natural Beauty Inside Out
Using black or gray eyeshadow to achieve smokey eyes is now passe. The latest is to use many shades of the same colour. A minimum of three shades in light, medium and dark tones at least, and if you want extra effect, you can blend as many as five.
And here’s a simple 4-step approach to achieve your own smokey eyes with a trio of colours.
For someone who hardly uses mascara, I really don’t know why I bought this heated eyelash curler. I’ve actually had it for awhile but only started using it recently again. This gadget is quite simple to use, but I do find it a little time consuming. It probably gets better with practice but if I’m in a hurry, I’ll still stick to my normal metal curler.
Did you know you can choose to protect your skin from harmful ingredients by using only organic cosmetics? Like these finely textured organic eye shadow powder from Sante.
Voted one of their most popular products by customers, these trendy, eye catching colour palettes for the eyes are rich in certified organic jojoba and chamomile extract, olive and essential oils that care for sensitive skin, as well as made with certified asbestos-free talc. In addition, the products do not contain any nano-refined particles, not even coated ones, so these ingredients cannot penetrate your skin. In addition, they are free of parabens, phthalates, petroleum or mineral based oils, synthetic fragrances, colours and preservatives.
My best friend San has been waxing lyrical about this innovative eyeliner which offers the precision of liquid liner and the ease of a gel-based formula.
She said this gel is best applied using Bobbi Brown’s ultra fine eyeliner brush.
“Draw as close to the top lashes as possible, making it curve up a little at the outer corner. Practise makes perfect. If you’re not sure, start with a short line, then dip more when the brush run out of gel.”
