Permanently Beautiful

We read that at the recent Roberto Cavalli fashion show a dark smoky cat eye with a 60s style mane of hair was the new hot runway look in beauty.

 Both hairstylist Guido Palau and makeup artist Pat McGrath cited Brigitte Bardot as their inspiration for this super-sexy look. Jennifer Lopez  comes to mind as another icon of this look. To achieve the dramatic eye, McGrath applied dark liner around the entire eye, as well as in the crease and inside the lower lash line, blending slightly for definition. The liner was then topped with eye shadow in a black hue and lashes were coated with major mascara.

It’s power-house glam with a lot of drama. Perfect for a special night when you want to amp up your volume. Why not get a head-start by having a base coat of permanent eye-liner all ready applied to both your upper and lower eye-lids?  You’ll save precious time when you’re in prep mode for getting ready.  Plus there’ll be less margin for error when you’ve all ready got a permanent eye-liner guideline to follow.  Just trace it over and build it up.

 Then when you want to dial it back down, you’re all ready there!  And if you’re having a special sleepover, you can go ahead and take it off – your evening eye make-up that is – assured that when morning comes, you’ll look fresh and gorgeous. No caked smudges or black flakes of make-up around your eyes. And you won’t look like your face is missing in action either.
