1. Eyes: Apply eye shadow first before concealer, foundation, and finishing powder to ensure that you are able to make a clean sweep with a baby wipe or tissue to remove any extra shadow that may have fallen below the eyes. First apply a smokey black eyeshadow like Jane Iredale’s Eye Shadow in Charcoal that can be found in the Jane Iredale Daytime Eye Shadow Kit. Apply over eyelid and under the lower lash line. To give the eyes a really beautiful pop, apply Josie Maran’s Pewter Eye shadow on top to create depth. The Pewter color illuminates your eye giving it an iradescent glow that is perfect for pictures. Finish the eyes by curling lashes and applying Honeybee Gardens Mascara in black.

2. Skin: Because you can expect to be sweating it up while dancing the night away, it is a good idea to use a concealer so you don’t end up with a full face of makeup that comes off as you sweat. I like to use RMS Beauty’s “Un-coverup” Concealer under the eyes and around the nose and mouth. This will give your skin a fresh look without feeling and seeming overly made up. This concealer is fabulous for spot treating certain areas that you want to cover up, because it has great lasting power and comes in a small jar that you can throw in your purse should you need a touch up.

3. Highlighter: RMS Beauty Luminizer highlighter on cheek bones and ridge of nose and inside corner of eyes to give the skin a bit of a glow so that it reflects light.

4. Cheeks and Lips: Apply a lip/cheek stain with fingers to cheek bones and lips. Use RMS Beauty’s Lip2Cheek stain in Illusive – a matte burnt rose with a hint of plum, or perhaps just a gloss as you might be kissing the night away with Living Nature Lip Gloss in Berry Essence or Natural.

6. Finishing Powder: Finish the look by apply Jane Iredale’s Pure Matte Finishing Powder with a small powder brush to forehead, under eyes, corners of the nose and the chin.

Look 5: The Kohl RImmed Eye

1. Apply the pencil to the inside rim of your eye, starting with the lower outside corner moving inwards toward the inner corner of eye. Then line the upper inside rim of the eye directly under lashes.

2. Wait a few minutes and clean out corners with a very fine Q-tip to take out any excess color that has deposited.

3. Curl lashes and apply Honeybee Gardens Truly Natural Mascara or Jane Iredale Longest Lash Mascara.

My favorite eye pencils for achieving this look are:

Honeybee Gardens JobaColors Eye Liner Pencil in Jet Set or Belgian Chocolate
Organic Glam Mineral Eye Pencil
Living Nature Eye Pencil

Your eyes will certainly get the attention they deserve and feel good knowing that they are accentuated by eco-friendly makeup.

Look 4: The Red Lip

1. Be sure to exfoliate lips with Jane Iredale Sugar & Butter Lip Exfoliator

2. Then apply Face Boutique’s Moi Moi Lip Treatment to keep your lips evenly hydrated.

3. Blot lips with a tissue to remove any excess moisture.

4. Using an Aveda Environmental Retractable Lip Brush, brush on Couleur Caramel Matte Lipstick in Garnet Red starting in the middle and brushing outward to the corners of the mouth.

5. Fake a smile while applying color to lips. Blot, then reapply.

6. Apply a dry concealer around the lip line to clean up the edges and firm the line. Dust over with powder and apply a dab of Ren Biometric Lip Balm to the center of lips.

Away you go.

Look 3: The Smoky Eye

1. Apply a translucent powder to the lid to remove any excess oil from skin to create a clean and even canvas.

2. Next, apply your eye color. I like to use Dr. Hauska’s Eyeshadow Solo in Smoky Gray #4, and apply it all over the eyelid with a crease brush, feathering the color out to brow bone. I prefer using a dark shade with a bit of shimmer so that it gives the eye a smoother look, and avoids leaving you with the dreaded “I just got socked in the eye” look.

3. Take a very small fluff brush and apply the eyeshadow to lower lashes, pushing the color up into the base of the lash line.

4. Next line your eyes with a black eye pencil like Honeybee Gardens Jojoba Color Eye Liner in Jet Set to the upper and lower lash line. I like to also line the inner eye for more intensity.

5. Curl lashes and then apply your first coat of mascara. Allow to dry and continue to coat the lashes until the desired volume is achieved.

6. Take a makeup wipe and remove any access powder that has dropped under eye. This allows you to be a bit messy.

7. Complete the look with a foundation that gives the skin a fresh feel, apply a subtle cheek and a glossy lip.

You are now ready to hit the town knowing you’ve got sexy smoky eyes without the compromise!

Look 2: Flushed Cheeks

1. Begin by applying Amala Rejuvenate Cocoa Bean Treatment Oil to the skin as an all over moisturizer. I also like to apply this oil to the neck and decollete for additional shine.

2. If you prefer to wear foundation you can always apply a few drops of Living Nature’s Illuminating Tint, which gives the skin a nice glow while hiding imperfections and hydrating the skin.

3. When creating the perfect look for cheeks, I prefer a cream blusher as it creates a more natural flushed look. A great one to try is RMS Beauty lip2cheek. My favorite colors to work with from the RMS line are Smile and Rapture. Dab your finger into the cream blusher and then on to your hand. I like to warm the cream on my hand first, as it will go on more smoothly and there is less pulling on your skin. Place on apple of cheeks in a quick tapping motion moving outwards toward the ear. Be sure to blend well.

4. Take a bit of the same color and place on lips. Keeping the cheek and lip color consistent makes for more of an impact.

5. Add a wash of soft brown eyeshadow to eyelids, leaving nothing underneath as you want the focus to stay on the cheeks.

6. Finish with a soft coat of mascara and a groomed brow by using Jane Iredale PureBrow™ Fix & Mascara.

You’ll be looking gorgeous and flushed in no time…….Enjoy!

Look 1: Winged Eyeliner

I have always loved the look of a sleek bold eyeliner. Bridget Bardot and Audrey Hepurn are two great examples of how to make an eyeliner sexy and sophisticated. Black tends to be the most dramatic choice however there are different shades to choose from if you desire a bit of color. I tend to like eyeliner with translucent skin, a pale cheek and nude lip, so the attention goes straight to the eye. A bold mouth is also an option especially with the fall trends being so eighties inspired.

1. I like to use Jane Iredale Cream To Powder Eyeliner in black with Earth’s Beauty Eyeliner Brush. Using a liquid eyeliner with a good brush allows for a smooth application and makes it easier to build the volume of your eyeliner.

2. Start by deciding your shape. You have the option to take the line more horizontal towards the hairline drawing your eye outwards (Bridget Bardot) or by taking the tip of the liner up towards outer eyebrow giving you a more cat like shape (Audrey Hepburn).

3. Next, look into a well lit mirror lifting your chin up while looking down into the mirror. With your left hand ring finger, pull the outside of your eye gently stretching the skin taut. This will help define your shape and allows the liner to go on more smoothly.

4. Apply a very thin line at the edge of your inner eyelashes allowing it to thicken as the line goes closer towards the outside corner. Take a step back and look at your shape, you can always go back and layer.

5. Use a thin concealer brush dipped gently in liquid eye-remover to clean edges if need be.

6. When curling lashes be sure to not over curl, as you want to maintain an almond shaped effect to the eye.

7. Apply a thick layer of mascara to upper lashes while lightly dusting the bottom.

Good Luck and Enjoy!

1) Apply Living Nature Eye Pencil (in Midnight) to base of lashes in a VERY thin line. This is done not to achieve a smokey look but to make lashes appear thicker. Also apply a thin line to center lower lash.

2) Curl lashes firmly as this look is “defined by the lash”

3) Apply a thick coat of mascara to base of top lashes, gently adding several coats to tips. Repeat on bottom.

4) Apply Amala Cocoa Bean Rejuvinate Treatment Oil to skin. Blot if needed then apply RMS Beauty Concealer in your color of choice and blend into skin. You want the skin to appear fresh.

5) Finish the skin with Dr. Haushka’s Translucent Loose Face Powder by gently applying around edges of nose, forehead and chin.

6) Apply Organic Glam Blush (in Pink) to the apple of cheeks, blending the edges.

7) Finish off with Living Nature Lipstick (in Laughter) blotting edges.

CC Tip: When applying mascara “NEVER PUMP” the wand in and out of the tube as this allows air to get in reducing the shelf life.
