I have been using Smashbox Soft Lights Luminance for years. I use it as a brow highlighter, eyeshadow, eyebrow and cheekbone highlighter. It’s a silky powder that goes on smoothly, but packs quite a punch. When you really want your eyes to pop- put it under the previously mentioned ME eyeshadow. I don’t believe they sell this exact one anymore so you may want to hurry up and find it on ebay. One pot lasts about five years. If only I could say that about my relationships 😉

I don’t normally like body glitter, or make up glittery type stuff. I found something that somehow takes glitter and makes it slightly classy. Mattese Elite Stardust in Undress, is quite impressive. It somehow starts as a very loose powder and goes on with a creamy finish. They are geniuses over at Mattese Elite. My favorite thing about the Undress color is it’s not just a shine or a highlight, it goes on as a full flat color. A perfect shade for Blonds and Brunettes. Not sure about Red heads,…but you’re always just a step child aren’t you….
There’s an easy way to get that perfect cat eye look you see on your fave celebs in the magazines. It’s less about the products you’re using , and more about the tools. I’m obsessed with my Sephora’s Professional Angled Liner #15 brush. I use Sonia Kashuk black eyeliner in a pot, which you can get at Target. The brush is super thin, yet firm enough to lay the eyeliner exactly as you want it. The angled edge makes that whisker end look, a breeze. This brush can be used to fill in brows too. I said fill in , not replace, yes new jersey strippers I’m talking to you.
Great product & superb packaging, Milani Brow Fix Brow Shaping Kit. I love the results I get with this product, and I smile every time I look at it. It’s soooo cute! This Compact contains seven essential tools: Straight edged tweezers, slanted brow filler brush, brow bone sponge applicator, 3X magnifying mirror, brow bone highlighter, and two tone-on-tone powders (light & dark) to fill and shape brows. It is available in 3 shades depending your skin/hair color. I don’t do my brows every day, and never in the daytime. However I found the powder “Hi-Lite” in this kit is absolutely perfect for a general highlighter. This commitmentphobe is finally committed…..to my browfix kit 😉
Don’t worry about your shaky hands crack head. You can still have black eye liner on the top and bottom inner parts of your lids without fail. Thanks to Tarte EmphaseEYES eyeliner pencil. It has a super skinny point that glides smoothly across your lash line. It works faster than most pencils and lasts all day. There’s no sharpening involved. Â Just twist the bottom when it gets low to push more of the eyeliner up. Â Feel good about buying Tarte products because they’re mostly natural, and filled with good for you stuff (minerals and things). Also, they’re packaging is super Earth friendly. We need to make up for what we’re doing to mother earth with our aerosol hairspray addiction.
I’m referring to my lashes of course. I have Rimmel’s Sexy Curves Mascara to thank for it. Now, I have had many love affairs with different mascaras over the years. But this one knows how to keep me committed. I prefer waterproof mascara in general, if you don’t, you’ll be happy to know they have a regular version. This mascara lengthens, separates, and curls. I haven’t touched my torture chamber aka eyelash curler in years.  It costs around $7 and stays strong for over 3 months. So throw out those fake lashes, because they look ridiculously fake anyway….someone had to tell you, you’re welcome
