Leona Lewis Makeup Tutorial by Kim Porter

Beyonce in Telephone Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Carrie

Kim (a Shimz) did the fol­low­ing tuto­r­ial inspired by Beyonce’s yellow/black (bum­ble bee?) cat eye look in Telephone. It really doesn’t mat­ter that yel­low is a 2007 color; if you could find a new way of pair­ing it and apply­ing it (thin, tilted cat eye), why not?

The key to make a light color like yel­low pop is make sure you have a light base.

Chantal’s Valentine’s was Purely Pink

Christina

Valentine’s Day was rather rou­tine for some but quite pos­si­bly mag­i­cal for many oth­ers.  Chantal’s What Is Your Valentine’s Day Look? draws atten­tion to all the nat­ural beauty that one per­son can hope to be granted at birth with dra­matic eyes, per­fect lips and a sparkly pink shirt.  Chantal tops it all off with a cute updo of her blonde locks and then shows you how to do it as well.
