Graphic Liner: Get The Look



Beware, graphic liner is not for beginners or those with a shaky hand. It does require an extra effort, time and patience. But let's be honest, the results are so worth the effort. 


Instructions:

1. Putting a primer on your lids when applying a liner is a must. It will keep the color in place and keep it from creasing. 

2.  With a steady hand ( don't worry though, q-tips and makeup remover will keep mistakes hidden! ) apply a fine line of colored liner of your choice close to the upper lashes.

3. Add another line above it starting from the middle out to the corner, curving it like a cat eye. Leave some visible space between the two lines.

4. Apply a scotch tape under your brows, trace the line with the pencil in the same color as your liner. Keeping the distance between your lines, apple a straight line from the inner to the outer corner of the eye.

5. Using the eye shadow in the same color, run it through the line and bring through richly below it. Keep the color rich.

6. Apply a sweep of mascara and you are all set!

Natural Lip Using Beets


What you will need:
1 Beet
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Honey


Instructions:
Cut the beets, trim the skin and cut into small cubes. Add all of the ingredients and blend in the food processor until liquified. Pour into a glass jar. Using a cotton swap or a lip brush slide the stain over the dry lips. And whoa-la, you have a natural lip color, and without the use of harsh chemicals. When done, store in the refrigerator up to three weeks.
