Makeup mistakes that turn men off

1. Eyeliner overload - I can totally understand this, who wants to look at a woman with raccoon eye's, I don't want to see a woman with dark circles under her eye let alone rings she as drawn.

2. Foundation at the neckline- OK these are great points... I have to give it up to the men. Being able to see your foundation at the neckline means 1 or 2 things....either your wearing the wrong color foundation or you are not blending it well, This should never ever happen ladies.

3.Honey kisses- Honey kisses is just super sticky lip gloss, who wants to wear a gloss that has your lips sticking together....so imagine kissing your beaux and it looks like you smeared honey all over him.

4.Beauty marks- Drawn on moles, I like beauty moles although I don't have to draw mines on I'm ok with women who do......I just don't think it should move every time, I also don't want you to smudge it .... seems a little difficult to keep up with all day. Who came up with that anyway?

5.Fake bake- I'm a black girl and of course we don't tan to much, I have seen people who do and some baked to much I like to call it Crisp not a good look ladies if you don't need it leave it.

Eye dream of Drini !!!!!!!!

I think I’m in love,. So I was doing my usual browsing trying to see what new I could bring to you and I ran across this phenomenal MUA that goes by the name Drini, I have to admit that I am always learning even though you hear me say I am the best at what I do (makeup) doesn’t mean that I am not eager or open to learning. I absolutely love her and I think she is an inspiration to young makeup artist. We have a lot in common we share the same interest in other MUA, Like Kevyn Aucoin etc. If you want more info on her you can find her at facebook.com/makeupbydrini. She is really amazing and now one of my favorite MUA so how about we make her BEAUTY OF THE DAY !!!!!

To take action against domestic violence support founder Michelle Coyle over at Haughtycosmectics.com.

Makeup for 8-12 yr olds

Walmart is going after the tween (ages 8-12) market (and their parents' wallets) with the newGeoGirl beauty line. That 8-year-olds need lipstick is another debate, but this line will offer colorful cosmetics and "mother approved" makeup products. According to a recent article in Women's Wear Daily, the formulas are designed for young skin and have natural ingredientslike white willow bark to exfoliate, chamomile, lavender and calendula to calm and antioxiodants. (Sounds a little much for a tweener, but I not a parent to one.)

There's a cleanser, mineral blush, liquid2power shadow, feather-lash mascara, face shimmer and body mist, among the offerings. The line, which will replace the space vacated by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen cosmetics in Walmart, is set to debut next month in stores and at geogirl.com.

I don't know about you but I dont think little girls should where makeup, being a makeup artist I know how harsh makeup can be on your skin if not worn properly. I'm OK with the skin cleansing mainly because puberty starts within that age frame and maybe a little lip gloss, but mineralized blush, foundation etc. absolutely not.

True to the game

Was browsing through some pics and I found these throwbacks, Now I wish I can find the camera I was using at the time.

Cosmetic surgery without the hassel

• Sculpting your face:
  Your face angles should be highlighted; it will make you look slimmer. Use iridescent powder to highlight your brow and cheekbones. The parts of your face that recede can be darkened. Emphasis should be on the cheekbones. People with round face have cheeks with round apples. The trick is to sculpt the cheeks to create shadows and make them more defined. Use sculpting powder to sculpt your cheekbones. Apply this powder to your jaw lines and cheekbones. Create depth to your cheekbones by applying sculpting powder on both sides of your nose. Do not overuse blush and sculpting powder. However, if you do not apply both in proportion your face will look uneven. Take some time to get the right look.
• Lip pluming:
  When your lips are full, the slimmer your face will look. For fuller lips, apply a dab of shimmer gloss to the center of your lower lip. The last tip for your round face to look leaner and more sculpted is to accentuate your lips. Your lips should look fuller.
• With these tips who need cosmetic surgery, After all god did make us beautiful the way we are.
