Color Block Eye Shadow

One of this season's hottest trends is color-blocking. The concept is simple: select two or more bold hues and combine them, often geometrically, to form one head-turning look. The trend can brighten up your wardrobe--and your makeup application, too.
Here's how to create color-blocked eye shadow.
Start with a good base. A crease-proof primer like L'Oreal De-Crease Eye Shadow Base works well. Then consider your color options wisely. The easiest approach is to focus on two colors only.

For the traditionalist
This look creates the ultimate contrast using shades on opposite sides of the color spectrum. To begin, use a matte white shadow from lash line to brow bone, making sure to blend the white out at your crease and above. Try: MAC Eye Shadow in Gesso.
Next, grab a pencil-tipped brush and a matte black eyeshadow. Using a windshield wiper motion to apply, start at the outside of your crease, and work your way in. To ensure a high contrast, make sure the black shade does not deviate from the crease, and that it doesn't blend into the stark white on your lid. Finish with loads of mascara.

For the adventurous
Use the technique described above, but with pink instead of white, and dark purple instead of black. Keep your colors matte so that they aren't overpowering. Try: MAKE UP FOR EVER Eye Shadow in Matte Dark Purple and MAC Eye Shadow in Passionate.

Have great makeup; so it makes sense to use a product which benefits the skin. After all, every one want’s to look great with and without the help of makeup. Burt’s Bee’s claims that there sensitive night cream provides moisture to the skin for 8 hours without causing redness or irritation. Does it do that? Well sort of… When I use a moisturiser or more specifically a night cream I like to use something that absorbs into the skin almost instantly so I don’t have to worry about product transferring onto pillows, clothing, etc and that’s one thing that I truly love about this product. It provides moisture almost instantly and absorbs into the skin as quick as you can say night cream. It doesn’t leave any residue and unlike other moisturisers I’ve tried it doesn’t spread unevenly. The scent of this is lovely and subtle, too often I’ve tried a moisturiser only to f
