Eyes 101

Take time to learn how to make up your eyes. They are the first thing people see, believe it or not. Follow the natural shape of your eyes, don't be afraid of using eyeliner, eyeshadow, I like a light liquid foundation as a base and to make a matte palette to begin laying color on my eyes. Don't worry about your eye color, dark colors work best, meaning brown, black, deep navy or gray. If you are afraid of wearing eye makeup with contacts, then by all means chicken out and/or see your doctor for advice. But the time you spend on your eyes is not only fun, but worth it. People will take notice. My favorites? Personally, Bobbi Brown, Maybelline, YSL, but that I will leave up to you to experiment with. Dark eyeliners work the best, with lighter eye shadows, false eyelashes can look too fake if not carefully applied, frankly, avoid them except for special occasions. You don't want to be the girl with a falling lash stuck to your cheekbone.

Back to Basics

Feeling like you need a new start, right? Then go back to basics. This blog site will help guide you through a fresh start, from what works, based on my personal experience, to what I have read about the elite, their day to day practices, and no, I don't mean plastic surgery. If you can afford it, proceed with caution. Welcome to this blog site, I think you will like it.

Lesson #1, be the original.

Copies are seldom exciting. My case in point is the beautiful model Gia, who died at a very young age. While she was battling her illness, an immediate replacement was selected. As you can see here, Gia was the original, beautiful and expressive. Her replacement was dull, subjected to plastic surgery, and had no expression, because she was the duplicate, and not selected for her personal style, she was imitating the original. History will tell you what happened to both models, however, the lesson is evident.
