Today's Fab Tip:
Here's a great tip to use when you're going out on a Saturday night.
"Take your lashes from day to night. Hitting happy hour? Don't add more mascara to what's already there-- it will make lashes clumpy. Thin out your daytime coat first by brushing through lashes with a spoolie dipped in oil-free makeup remover, says [makeup artist Ashunta] Sheriff. Or use a mascara-softening serum (like [Urban Decay's]-- it has the same effect."
--Taken from People Style Watch magazine, May 2015, page 151.
Clumpy lashes with dried bits of mascara flaking off into your eyes while you're drinking is annoying. Avoid that when you can with this great tip.
Have a fabulous Saturday!
XOXO

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Nude Eyeliner
Today's Fab Tip:
This is a great tip to make your eyes look more awake.
"Wake up sleepy eyes with a nude pencil. So you were up late-- no one needs to know you're running on fumes. For a wide-awake appearance, lighten your eyes' inner lower rims with a beige liner. Just stick to the area below the iris for a more natural look, says Chanel celeb makeup artist Kate Lee."
-- Taken from People Style Watch magazine, May 2015, page 151.
The one I use is Em Michelle Phan's Waterliner, since it's so easy to apply on the waterline. Even if you're not sleepy, this is a good way to make your eyes look bigger. With an extra coat of mascara fanning out the outer corners of your upper and lower lashes, it'll make your eyes doll-like and stand out.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Rose Gold Eyes
Today's Fab Tip:
Not going to lie -- today's fabulous tip was delayed thanks to a combination or work, Once Upon A Time, and Game of Thrones. OMG that ending to tonight's ep of Game of Thrones... And Loras! What will happen to Loras?! My poor baby!
Ahem. Sorry. Right. Fabulous tip...
It's getting hotter now, which means you walk outside and start sweating. You need makeup to be long-lasting to survive all day, so here's a tip for a fabulous sun-lit look.
"Rose gold shadow is extra pretty in the sun. Choose a waterproof, cream version-- it's the most long-lasting."
-- Taken from Lucky magazine, May 2015, page 96.
Rose gold eyes will make your entire face luminous, and that's beautiful for a nice summery day.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Retro Lashes
Today's Fab Tip:
Seriously, '60s and '70s-inspired trends are huge right now. I blame American Hustle. And X-Men: Days of Future Past. And Mad Men. Whatever, it's really big. The easiest way to incorporate any trend that's not your usual style and that you're not willing to splurge on is to go for an accessory or a little beauty trick. Spidery mascara can give you just the right amount of retro without making it look like you're trying too hard and without putting in a ton of effort. Always a plus. Here's how to get that look:
"An extra coat of mascara on top and bottom makes lashes look spidery and retro-sexy."
-- Taken from Lucky magazine, May 2015, page 95.
A lash comb can help you separate lashes for a little more spiky look, and a mascara like L'Oreal's Miss Manga Rock (my current favorite mascara) will make that even easier. The important thing, though, is to do lots of coats on both sets of lashes. Don't skip the bottom lashes, or it won't look balanced or retro-chic enough, k? Super simple.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Curled Lashes
Today's Fab Tip:
Curled lashes open up your eyes and add drama. They're a fantastic way to make you look more awake by day and more sultry by night. Here's how to get them:
"For wicked curves, clamp down your eyelash curler for a count of 20, then immediately apply mascara to lock in the shape."
-- Makeup Artist Scott Barnes in Cosmopolitan magazine, April 2010, page 75.
Simple. Just repeat on the other eye, and bam, instant bombshell lashes.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Grunge Lower Lashes
Today's Fab Tip:
Going along with the grunge inspiration from earlier, here's another fab tip from the Charlie XCX beauty shoot from March Cosmo:
"Channel your inner Kate Moss (after a long, rowdy night with Johnny Depp) by rocking liner that's deliberately smudged below your lower lash line. Easier than pulling a bender: Use a soft pencil... to rim inner eyes, then sweep a smudge brush dipped in charcoal shadow back and forth at your lash lines for a worn-in effect."
-- Taken from Cosmopolitan magazine, March 2015, page 164.
Applying a cream or kajal pencil to your waterline might be easier for a beginner, and if it isn't smudgy enough, use a q-tip to really give it that lived-in look. Don't forget to apply mascara on your lower lashes as well to really emphasis the liner and make the look pop! Honestly, this is one of my everyday makeup looks.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Open Up Your Eyes
Today's Fab Tip:
"A subtle way to make your eyes look bigger is to apply a second coat of mascara only at the outer corners of your upper lashes."
-- Taken from Fast Beauty: 1000 Quick Fixes by Rona Berg, page 35.
Using a couple of individual false lashes on the outer corners will give the same effect, but mascara is faster. Curling your lashes before mascara also helps to open up your eyes and make them larger and doll-like.
