How To Apply Fake Eyelashes »

Applying fake lashes is best left to your makeup artist, but with a little patience and practice, you too can master this art. So don’t try it five minutes before leaving to a big party. Andrea lashes are great and they are available inexpensively at the drugstore.

Keep a piece of paper handy to hold the lashes, and a magnifying mirror, which makes the job a lot easier.
Using a tweezer, dip the base end of the lashes into the glue, then place the lashes as close to the baseline of your own as you can, filling in wherever you want the greatest impact (generally, the mid to outer lashes look fabulous in false lashes). Press gently, but firmly with something blunt. Hold the lash in place for about 5 seconds until the glue has a chance to hold.

Let the glue dry, and then apply a dark eyeliner to camouflage the line of the fake lashes and then apply your mascara. The mascara will help blend your own lashes with the fake ones, and make your eyes look fuller and larger.

To remove, gently pull them off with tweezers.

cargo blu-ray mascara: not just for news anchors »


I keep hearing about news anchors running scared over the advent of HD cameras (and how they expose every wrinkle, every blemish, every pore) and all I can picture are backstage diva freakouts that would make Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy seem altogether modest. To help assuage their anxiety, enter HD makeup, which purports to deliver flawless results that can stand up to the camera’s scrutiny. But we’re not talking thick, spackle-like, pancake makeup of old: Cargo’s blu-ray collection uses light-diffusing properties to give a natural finish, so you’re not just seeing layers upon layers of makeup (which means it’s perfect for us commoners). And when it comes to mascara, who really wants the spotlight shined on unsightly black clumps? Cargo’s blu-ray mascara has a genius comb-like wand that coats lashes in color to provide perfectly precise definition. While I’ve usually been of the mindset that a mascara should have a really huge wand – the bigger the better – to give immense volume, I’m kind of loving this novel, you-but-better approach. It may not amp up lashes as much as the big guns, but it’s bye-bye clumps, hello naturally flawless you!

Always Use Protection! »

I’m a very fair skinned blonde with blue eyes. To say the sun is my foe is to put it mildly. Because of my coloring and background, I have to be very careful in the sun. I’ve never been one for tanning: I’d rather be swimming if I’m at the beach, and I can think of nothing worse than spending time and money in a tanning booth.

I’m not afraid of the pain of a sunburn…I’m more concerned with things like wrinkles, premature aging, and skin cancer. I don’t want to go down that road, and I don’t want any of you to have to deal with the negative effects of the sun either. So…I’m telling you all: make sure you wear your sunscreen every day. Don’t leave home without it.

Have you seen the new Spring campaign ad of David Yurman? Well, you should!

The David Yurman’s new Spring campaign ads feature Kate Moss, Daria Werbowy, and Natalia Vodianova on a beach setting. The three beauties showed off some fashionable poses in front of the camera: Natalia drenched in sand, Daria bummed around in the beach and Kate flaunted a plunging neckline one-piece. The ads are in black and white, to avoid blingness and overwhelming effect of luxury, and just steamy enough to really catch everyone’s eye.
