Line Up

Linda Evangelista - Photog: Steven Meisel

I LOVE to Line Up when creating the perfect eye. In recent years I have gotten into the use of eyeliner. There is nothing sexier to me than a BLACK "Cat's Eye" or "Wing". After all these years it remains a make-up staple.

A lot of women have told me they love the lined look but are unable to do it. Just like everything else in life ladies it takes practice, trial and error and a little bit of experimentation.  DO NOT try liner until perfected on the day of an event. Start your practice in advance.

Here is a photographic step-by-step Vintage liner "PicTorial"

It's fun to play with different liners, and then pair with various eye shadow colours and techniques. The only limit id your imagination.

I use M.A.C Fluidline in Blacktrack

I use M.A.C. Angle Brush # 208 (It is technically for Eye Brows but I love it for my lash line)

The Result - My mix of Pink Shadow (Kat Von D: Mi Vida Loca) & Wing Liner

TIP: I pull my eye lid FLAT to get the perfect line. Then fill in.

Need a step-by-step guide??

EYE LOVE COLOUR

I am obsessed with COLOUR (YES with a U - I'm Canadian). Anyway, My most recent colour purchase came in the form of eye shadow. I like the pigments from Tattoo artist Kat Von D's makeup line for Sephora (I have both her Ludwig & Beethoven palettes) and recently purchased her NEW pallet for Spring 2012 "Mi Vida Loca".

The palette is inspired by her back tattoo with the same name (Spanish for "My Crazy Life") and her love of colours. I remember reading somewhere that the best part of her day and one of the only times she has alone, is when she is applying her makeup.

I love her Rock-N-Roll / Theatre take on her makeup and wanted to share her new collection with any bold beauties out there in cyber space looking to chuck your neutral tones and try some colour.

I think this is the coolest rainbow effect and I will be compelled to try:

Get polished for the season

SHOP SEPHORA FOR THE COLLECTION

Kat too commercial for you? Take this Coloured "Peacock Inspired Eye" from the Fall/Winter 2012 Runway of Roberto Cavalli (and make-up artist Pat McGrath)
