Beauty Advice

Want to make your small eyes look bigger? Stay away from dark eyeshadows. Start with a nude base, then apply shadow a shade or two darker than the base to your crease and use your finger to blend the color up toward your eyebrows.

Achieve Smoldering Runway Eyes

Try vamping up your smoky eye routine by giving it a smoldering effect which reads SEXY.  To achieve this look trace the outer rims with dark brown liner, then apply matching shadow on the lids. Blend it into a soft almond shape just past the crease. For more depth, try adding shimmery cream highlighter to the inner corners and the brow bone.  Finish it off with a nice pair of lashes and a super sleek ponytail!

Bed Head

​Are you an unruly sleeper and find your satin scarf  or bonnet constantly slipping off at night? Maybe you're just not a scarf wearer? Well don't let any of those things stop your hair from receiving the protection it needs! Try a satin pillow case to keep your hair and skin protected from the harsh cotton that strips them of moisture. These can be bought at your local beauty supply or drugstore. ​
