The King of the Gel Liners

Looking for an all day... long wearing.... no tearing... sensation. Then Bobbi Brown has you covered. In fact this liner is sooo good that it won the Martha Stewart Wedding Award for the best gel eyeliner.  Pick up the gel lining brush from Sephora and you are set! Line all around your eyes for a dramatic look, or just on the top into the lash line to add definition to your lashes or perhaps try the every popular half line from the middle of your eye to the outer corner and all below. Or if you are feeling really daring draw on a winged liner look. Whatever your choose you will be happy you trusted your eyes to Bobbi for a no smudge no budge gel.

My first foray into theater...



I recently had the opportunity to provide the makeup design for a local theater company's upcoming production. Needless to say I jumped at the chance to create the looks. I spent the weekend with my makeup case and tools in hand thinking of concepts for each look for the various characters. What a fabulous time I had! Then, yesterday I presented my designs to the actors, director and producer.  I will return to complete the looks with the actors and do a makeup application later in rehearsals. Here are a few of my face charts and ideas that I presented yesterday. The theme was tacky intense makeup so you can imagine how fun this was.  Therefore, the makeup was heavy and full of color. I can hardly wait to see the finished looks during the show. I promise to post pictures.
