Make Me Beautiful

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never had a problem figuring out how to apply eye shadow, probably because I’ve been experimenting with makeup since I was a kid. However, there are certainly plenty of women out there who think adding color to their lids is a difficult task. Well now these women are in luck! There’s a foolproof system for applying eyeshadow on the market: ColorOn Pro Instant Eyeshadow.

I can’t make stuff like this up!

The ColorOn Pro Instant Eyeshadow kit contains ovals of color that you apply to your eyes…no need for brushes, Q-Tips, or smudging. Here’s what the company says about applying their product:

For a lighter application:

Peace (center oval on lash line, holding in place with index and middle finger, making a “peace sign”)
Pat (the back of the applicator gently with index finger from your free hand)
Peel (back the applicator from eyelid)
Tap (eye shadow on lid with finger to gently blend to desired result)
Set (lightly with powder provided to ensure a comfortable, long-wearing; crease-proof look all day)

For a heavier application:

Peace (center pad on lash line, holding in place with index and middle finger, making a “peace sign”)
Rub (the back of the applicator gently with index finger from your free hand)
Peel (back the applicator from eyelid)
Tap (eye shadow on lid with finger to gently blend to desired result)
Set (lightly with powder provided to ensure a comfortable, long-wearing; crease-proof look all day)

While I find the concept of this product somewhat amusing, I do think they might be useful in two cases:

1. If you are unable to use a brush or other precision tool because you have shaky hands. Some people have conditions that cause their hands to shake, and the shaking makes it difficult to get a clean application of color. The peel and stick approach to eyeshadow would really help these women.
2. If you’re traveling and don’t want to pack a ton of cosmetics and tools. Whenever I travel, I struggle over whether or not to pack my brushes. On one hand, I need them to get my makeup on. On the other, I don’t want to run the risk of losing them if the airplane carrier magically sends my luggage to Ipanema.

As always when we’re in the midst of Fashion Weeks, all the clothes shown just look like a bunch of clothes with no direction to me. (It’s why magazines like Vogue and Elle exist, and why they publish runway guides at the beginning of every season.)

Prada

THE show of Milan. I’m always half in awe and half in annoyance that Miuccia Prada shows collections with completely different themes every season. Half in annoyance because it hurts to spend the money to update our wardrobe so much, (although it’s not like I buy any Prada clothes anyway,); Half in awe because Prada’s shows are always so… thought-provoking. I’ve read many online reviews on the Prada shows and the key words seem to be: perverse, erotic/ seudctive/ fetish, Switzerland and lace. The interesting thing is that while most reviewers seemed to love the creative aspect of the collection, (no one dared to not like the collection,) everyone managed to come up with their own interpretation of the clothes. The clothes were impractical as always, but I think we’re all so used to seeing artsy, unwearable clothes from Prada shows now that it’s not mentioning.

The show started off with nun-looking dresses, then the clothes moved onto lacy, see-through skirts.

Lots of lacy dresses. It’s very hard to decide whether the dresses are prim or erotic isn’t it?

Collars and turtlenecks were there throughout the show. The collars seem reminiscence of Miu Miu S/S08.

Out of the collection, I think the LBD in the middle is my favourite. Hey, at least it’s a bit more wearable than the lacy trouser (on the left).

And since we’re looking at Prada, we must take a look at the shoes. The shoes sort of remind me of Miu Miu, and something Japanese anime girls would wear after they transform into their ever-impractical outfits to fight against evil.

Miuccia explained that females wear lace in all ages, from babies to marriage to widowed. Maybe it’s the I grew up in a non-lacy period of time, but I really don’t see lace featuring as a big part of a young, contemporary wardrobe. (I may just be brainwashed by the pictures from ShopBop, Barneys and Neiman Marcus.)

Jil Sander

While Jil Sander has always been all about minimalism and simply cut clothes, it’s always bordered on being boring. But I can honestly say I like this collection.

I LOVE the coats. The coat Vlada is wearing -I can’t stop staring at it! I love those artistic folds and the fabric wrapped around her shoulders. SO stylish and modern.

And the jackets look way cool too. Though as style.com mentioned, the suits looked a bit crinkly.

And the simple, work-women-type of looking dresses in all shades of grey.

Miuccia Prada offered a new form of austere sexuality, with lace as the new tool of seduction, in her autumn/winter collection, shown at Milan Fashion Week. The collection was based almost entirely on lace and it came see-through or layered over flesh-tone, stretch-silk, body-stockings, leotards, bodices and big knickers. The key color was black, seen as a series of pencil skirts and leggings

Bollywood’s full of slim waists, but when it comes to brows, they go big, wide, and plus-size. Add wow to your brows by touching them up with powder one shade lighter than the color of your brow hair.

Keep it clean! Pluck away stray hairs. To avoid removing more than hair at once (wide tweezers may pull out more than one hair at a time and create a hole), opt for a fine-point tweezer instead.

Vogue (USA) magazine will feature a Drew Barrymore on their special 660-page March 2008 issue. The cover shoot was photographed by Steven Meisel.

Here are some excerpts from the issue:

Drew on beau Justin Long: “Can you feel my smiling? My cheeks hurt, I’m so happy.” (Adds Justin: “She makes my cheeks hurt, too.”)

Drew on her Charlie’s Angels franchise: “I’m dying to do a third. Poo [her nickname for Cameron Diaz] and Lucy [Liu] and I talk about it all the time.”

Drew on what you didn’t know about her: “Photography has been my secret hobby and passion for years now.”

Drew on her transformation from wild child: “I think I had some mechanism in my head that said, ‘If you don’t pull it together for yourself, no one else will.’ That’s coming from a person who had to try it all, burn my hand on the stove and party it up.”
Drew on the legendary Barrymore clan: “Maybe they were crazy, but they were talented and they were interested and they were passionate about life… I’m proud I come from that circus.”
