Get Audacious With NARS New Mascara

NARS New Audacious Mascara

If your looking for instant length and volume for your eye lashes then you will love NARS Audacious Mascara.  The exclusive Lash-catching Brush and uniquely fluid formula intensifies lashes with every layer. It gives lots of extreme…extreme length, extreme volume, and extreme control.

This first to market formula and the NARS exclusive brush let you customize your lash look. With over 200 hooks and bristles, the NARS exclusive Lash-catching Brush evenly cloaks lashes from roots to tips to lengthen, separate and amplify lashes. Tapered tip ensures you reach inner and outer lashes. This uniquely fluid and flexible formula lets you layer and build without smudging, clumping, or flaking. Even though I’m not a fan of plastic brushes I do like using the NARS brush. It’s a little smaller then the average brush that’s what I like about it. Because it seem to work on short lashes, curly lashes, thin lashes, and thick lashes. Try it out and let me know what you think of the brush because I already know you will love the mascara.

INSIDER TIPS & TRICKS

*Can be used in the waterline.

*Smudge immediately after application when creating a soft or smoky liner look since this formula is waterproof.

*You can absolutely stack the liners one next to the other, but cannot layer one on top of the other. Remember to treat this like a liquid to avoid peeling.

*Instant full pigment load in the 1st application with moderate pressure.

*Blend immediately and in the “Sweet Spot” as to not remove more liner than you intended. (Sweet Spot=the point that you are happiest with it)

*For the best winged liner use I like to use Sephora Pro Bent Liner Brush #23 or Pro Gel Liner Brush #26 to help create a sharp line.

*Use gentle pressure when sharpening to protect your liner’s creamy formula.

*Use gentle pressure and soft sketchy strokes when applying to deposit pigment and make it nice and bright.

Oh…I forgot to tell you it’s a Sephora Exclusive

Do You Like Wearing A Pop Of Blue Eye Liner

Trying on a lil pop of color…BLUE

With one of the new Pantone Color Of The Year being Serenity, I thought I would try adding a pop of blue on my eyes using a blue eye liner. Serenity is more of a baby blue, I didn’t like the way it looked on my eye lid so I decided to try it on my lower eyes. Here are a four blue eye shadow/liner that I will be trying out.

Do You Have A Fancy Journal That You Enjoy Writing In

If you have been following me on social media then you know I am working on my books. I write every chance I get because I promised myself that I want to have the first book finished this year. The first book will be a fun self help book for girls/women, the second will be about my life as a makeup artist working with celebrities while living with lupus and the third is a beauty makeup book. You’ll always see me with a fancy journal on set, at the airport, in the park, or by the lake. So here are a few new journals that you’ll find me writing in this year. Do you have a favorite journal to write in?

Bridal Makeup:Something Blue Eye Shadow

Connecticut Bridal Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis
As a young girl, we grew up hearing “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue.” Well, that something blue will be the new trend in 2016 for brides. Bright, bold cobalt blue will be seen more at weddings in the flowers, bridesmaids’ dresses, the brides’ shoes and even bright bold eye shadows.

At a recent bridal photo shoot I decided to play with NARS Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Giove, a navy blue eye shadow that can be used on the lid for a smokey eye. Remember when wearing a strong eye you should keep the lip color very light so I selected a nude YSL lipstick and a nude Dior lipgloss. Brides your something blue doesn’t have to be hidden anymore, it can now be worn down the aisle.

Lipsticks: Are You A Pink Lady Or A Cherry Bomb

Two lipstick shades that will always be classic on the red carpet are pink and red lip colors. Pink ladies, whose pledge is to act cool, to look cool and to be cool, til death do us part-think pink!. Many sassy and expressive actress like Jennifer Lawrence and music artist Katy Perry has been seen in videos, and in magazines wearing bright pink lips. Bright pink lipsticks are fun and youthful on everyone. It’s a great color for day and night. Plus bold pink lips allows you to wear a strong eye.
Now cherry bombs scream Hello Daddy! Hello Mom! I’m your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world I’m your wild girl, I’m your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb. Daring and sultry ladies like music artists Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera are always seen wearing there signature red lips. Bold red lips is a lipstick color that makes you feel sexy. Despite misconception, every woman can wear a bold red lipstick. It’s dramatic, it’s flirty and it calls for a double take.
L’OREAL Paris Infallible Le Rouge lipsticks Fearless Fuschia and Bold Bordeaux are two fun shades that will be great on all skintone. The Infallible Le Rouge lipsticks are bold in color, creamy, moist, and hydrating to the lips. The best part about the Infallible Le Rouge lipsticks is it offers up to 10 hours of wear without drying your lips. So Glamxuriously spoil yourself with L’Oreal Paris’ playful pinks or rich reds, whether your a Pink Lady or Cherry Bomb…. you’re worth it.
Here are others non L’OREAL Paris pink and red lip colors that I luv.
