Nars Audacious Lipstick in Brigitte, Juliette, Audrey and Rita Review and Swatches


Super great formula.  Opaque and long wearing.  I did get a little bleeding (very little) with Rita.

Brigitte is a prefect nude pink.  Such a great finish.

Juliette is a pink coral that was more orange on me than expected.  Pretty though.

Audrey was less berry and more berry red.  Darker than I expected.

Rita is a perfect neutral medium dark red.






MAC A Novel Romance Yield to Love Lipstick Review and Swatches


Gorgeous shade…reminds me of Guerlain or Dolce & Gabbana.

Product grade: A+

MAC Coppering Eye Shadow and Using it to Add Pizzaz to Urban Decay's Naked Paletee


Such a pretty look.  Add pizzaz to Urban Decay's Naked palette with MAC's Coppering…

Product grade:  A+++




Making your eyes pop with makeup!


1.  Use light and dark contrasts.

2.  Keep your lids light.

3.  Add a dot of shimmer or a light color on the center of your eye lid to open the eye (at the last).

4.  Line to lower or top lash line with a bright liner.

5.  Use warm or cool colors, depending on your undertones, in the crease.  Blue, purple, copper, and green work well with most eyes shades.  Pinks with hazels, yellow with some brown or hazel and orange with blue.

6.  Add orange, pink or red (or reddish, even reddish brown).  Mix these with black or brown into lower lash liner or alone into the crease.  This brightening works even better with darker eye looks.

7.  Line with gold or silver…but watch your undertones and the undertones in the shadow.
