Makeup Photo a Day 47: Daytime Rock Star Look

 I wanted to look like I woke up after a long night of entertaining fans on my tour. I'm a rock star, ya know?

I took a cotton swab and rubbed under my lower lashes to get the dirty, messed up look.

Now if only I had musical abilities to make this work.

Makeup Photo a Day 46: Deep Side Part with Hair Pin

Did you know? Hair pins are ok to show this season! I'm not a huge fan of the trend but sometimes it is annoying to finagle a pin in my hair in an attempt to hide it.

And deep side parts were on the runways this season. Donna Karen, Rag and Bone, and Marc Jacobs to name a few. So if your hair is fine and difficult to hold a side part this far over, you can sport TWO trends at once.

Who knew?

Makeup Photo a Day 45: How to Get Rid of Under Eye Circles or Shadows

While I am very blessed to have minimal darkness under my eyes, after three days of 15 hour shoot days and very little sleep, I can look pretty exhausted.

This is my FAVORITE makeup tip of all time because it's so simple and so many people "suffer" from this.

Here's the secret key to getting rid of darkness!

Because the darkness under eyes is usually a blueish tone, you must use blue's complementary color ORANGE. Yes, orange is the secret. I used the shade from my Ben Nye concealer palette, but I've also used orange shaded lipsticks and lip pencils. It's a great thing orange is so hot right now!

You'll need to mix a very small amount of the orange with your concealer. I use a smaller amount of orange than the swatch in this picture. I just wanted to get a clear picture of it.

 I dab a small amount of the orange on my fingertip and mix it into my concealer. [Mixing the colors on your hand softens them from your body heat and prepares them for your skin. That way you're not pulling the skin around your eye much. It's very sensitive skin!]

It's extremely minimal [you don't want to see it!] but you can see under my left eye [if left and rights confuse you like me, it's the eye on the right side of the picture. Don't make fun.]

Another tip: PAT ever so softly, DO NOT rub or pull the skin to blend it. It will weaken the skin and over time, will wrinkle you prematurely.

I hope this helps you tremendously!

Makeup Photo a Day 43

Nik and I gussied up to watch Mad Men at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, only to find out it started an hour later than we thought. It was too late for us to be out (early Monday!) so we went to CVS for an errand. Who says you can't dress up for the everyday?
