Lips & Brows ~ Spring Summer 2010

Bold brows commanded the eyes of all at Vera Wang, while the hot pink mouth at Marc by Marc Jacobs gave lips life and a powerful blast of color. Perfect for a natural Spring look, these bold brows and lips are the trademark of the season.

1) Apply Couleur Caramel Eye Shadow in Golden Sand #57 all over eye, and add
Couleur Caramel Eye Shadow in Pearly Rosy Brown #4 to the crease.

2) Living Nature Foundation in Pure Buff is applied evenly to skin with Jane Iredale’s foundation brush – made from eco-friendly and skin-friendly taklon.

3) A strong brow is applied by using Jane Iredale Eye Shadow in Charcoal and Dark Suede – from Jane’s Daytime Shadow Kit. I like to use a powder to help draw the brow. This is a great way to ensure that you have more control and makes it easier to build color. My favorite brush for brows is Jane Iredale’s Angle Brush made of taklon/nylon.

4) Organic Glam Bronzer in Light Bronze is applied to the cheeks for a bronzing effect. Using a warmer shade on the cheeks allows the lips to “pop”.

5) Apply Couleur Caramel Lipstick in Glossy Fuschia #207 with a hint of RMS Beauty Lip Balm in center of the lips to keep the lip from becoming too matte.

CC Tip: When mastering a full brow, be sure your brows are freshly plucked so the definition is precise. When filling in your brows with either a pencil or eyeshadow, extend your strokes in an upward angle by placing your ring finger onto the outer edge of the eye while pulling up and outwards to open up your face. A brow going down only adds years to your face.
