<em>Dolce &amp; Gabbana Spring 2012 RTW Fashion Week (Source: style.com)</em></p>
<p>Something funny happens to me all the time: when it&#8217;s cold (like today, -15C / -26C with the wind), I like to do springtime inspired looks.  Why do you think that is?  An easy look that has been my go-to for the past couple of months now is this: <a href="http://www.vogue.com/collections/spring-2012-rtw/mdgabbana/beauty/">Pat McGrath&#8217;s Sophia Loren-inspired makeup for Dolce &amp; Gabbana Spring 2012</a>.  It&#8217;s all about the flushed cheeks, brows, flared lashes and the kitten eye. Oh, and can I just say I love that the term kitten eye?  Like, kittayns! #crazycatlady</p>
<h3>Get the Look</h3>
<p><strong>For the eyes,</strong> go over the entire lid with your foundation to even it out.  Brush and fill in your brows (MAC <em>Brun</em> eyeshadow).  Take a black liquid liner (Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner) and start lining the outer half of the upper lash line. Make sure that the line gets thicker as you move towards the corner, and draw a slight flick at the end.  I made the line quite thick on the corners, but someone who has a lot of visible eyelid can pull this off with a thinner line.  Go over the outer corner with a black pencil (Urban Decay <em>Zero</em> 24/7 Pencil) and smudge with a brush to soften the line.  Don&#8217;t forget to line the top waterline black as well. Highlight the inner corner with a light-reflecting champagne eyeshadow.</p>
<p>On the lower lash line, take a brown pencil eyeliner (Urban Decay <em>Whiskey</em> 24/7 Pencil) along the outer half and soften the line with a brush.  Line the lower waterline with a flesh coloured pencil.  I don&#8217;t have a flesh coloured pencil, so I mixed two eyeshadows (Urban Decay <em>Naked</em> and <em>Virgin</em> eyeshadows) and applied with an angled liner brush. Apply lots of mascara on top and bottom lashes, and a half strip of false lashes if you wish.</p>
<p><strong>For the face/cheeks,</strong> keep the base sheer with a lightweight foundation (Bourjois <em>55 Beige Fonce</em> Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation) and go over it lightly with a translucent powder (Kett Sett Powder).  Apply a mix of a coral and a brownish blush (Tarte <em>Blissful</em> and <em>Exposed</em> Amazonian Clay Blushes) along the cheeks, close to where you would normally shade and contour.</p>
<p><strong>For the lips,</strong> apply a rosy pink lipstick (Chanel <em>Jersey Rose</em> Rouge Coco Lipstick).  You can keep the lips matte like this, but I went with a little dab of sheer light pink lipgloss (Giorgio Armani <em>Pink 508 Wild Rose Gloss</em> d&#8217;Armani &#8212; from the Spring 2012 collection &#8216;Luce&#8217;).</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Source: <em>Simeon Muller for </em><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Make-Up-Artist-magazine/22184829690">Make-up Artist Magazine Facebook Page</a> </em></p>
<p>Melissa Gibson chose to tackle two eras: the flapper makeup from the 1920s and Twiggy&#8217;s iconic makeup of the 1960s.  I&#8217;ve always been fascinated with makeup trends of different times so everything Melissa presented was so awesome and I instantly turned into a fan girl. LOL! <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5621" title="1920s 1960s makeup trends" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/1920s-1960s-makeup-trends.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="406" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Makeup Trends of the 1920s and 1960s</em></p>
<h3>The &#8217;20s Flapper Girl</h3>
<p>The flapper girl penciled in her brows to be dark and thin, and arching very low on the outer corners.  She wore dark smokey eyes with emphasis on the inner corners.  Red lips were in style as well, and were worn with crisp lines and a rounded pout.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5622" title="mac melissa g 1920s makeup 1" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/mac-melissa-g-1920s-makeup-1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>1920s Flapper Girl as interpreted by MAC&#8217;s Melissa Gibson</em></p>
<p>The look was started by applying Fluidline in <em>Blacktrack</em> all over the eyes, with emphasis on the inner crease, using a 217 brush.  Once you get the desired shape, add a silver eyeshadow just below the crease to add dimension.  Add eyeshadow in <em>Carbon</em> to the inner corner to carve out the eye shape some more.  You want the smokey eye to droop on the outer corner as well, following the shape of the brows.  Line the upper and lower waterlines.  Because the flapper girl probably partied all night long, her smokey eye has a lived in feel to it, so Melissa added a dab of gloss to make it crease.</p>
<p>In order to get crisp red lips, conceal the edges first before lining the lips.  Fill the lips in with red lipstick and gloss.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5623" title="mac melissa g 1920s makeup 2" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/mac-melissa-g-1920s-makeup-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>1920s Flapper Girl as interpreted by MAC&#8217;s Melissa Gibson</em></p>
<h3>The &#8217;60s Twiggy</h3>
<p>Twiggy was all about the bold bottom lashes (a look that&#8217;s been modernized as featured on <a href="http://imabeautygeek.com/2011/11/07/lower-lashings-would-you-try-the-look/">Beauty Geeks</a>) and the sharp line across the eye crease.  Oh, and I can&#8217;t forget to mention: freckle love. &lt;3</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5624" title="mac melissa g 1960s makeup 1" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/mac-melissa-g-1960s-makeup-1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>1960s Twiggy as interpreted by MAC&#8217;s Melissa Gibson</em></p>
<p><em></em>Start with Fluidline in <em>Dipdown</em> to sketch out the crease shape, then go back with eyeshadow in <em>Omega</em> to diffuse the line a bit.  Add a soft highlight on the lids and brows with eyeshadows in <em>Orb</em> and <em>Vapour</em>.  Still using <em>Dipdown</em>, take a thin liner brush like the 210 to draw on fake eyelashes along the lower lash line.  Then, line the top lash line with <em>Dipdown</em>.  Glob on (technical term) mascara for a clumpy lash look for top and bottom lashes.</p>
<p>For the face, add freckles all over the cheeks and nose with Eye Brows in <em>Lingering</em>.  Add a pink blush and pink lips, <em>et voila</em>!  You&#8217;re done!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5625" title="mac melissa g 1960s makeup 2" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/mac-melissa-g-1960s-makeup-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>

<h3>Inspired</h3>
<p>What I love most about IMATS is the sudden rush of inspiration I feel when I step into the exhibition hall.  I can&#8217;t really explain it; you have to be there to know what I&#8217;m talking about.  This year was no different.  Although there were a lot of pushing and shoving in the crowded hall during the first day, I instantly forgot about it when I listened to one of the guest speakers.  It was such an amazing experience for makeup artists and junkies alike.  Thank you Make-up Artist Magazine for another great show.</p>

<p>After a lot of digging around our massive lipstick wardrobes, we present to you our must-have lipstick for fall.  When I think of fall, I think of girls with perfectly berry-stained lips.  Berry lips are incredibly flattering on all skin tones, and of course MAC&#8217;s vast lipstick line would have something that is perfection.  My pick is <strong>MAC Lipstick in <em>Amorous</em></strong> ($17.50).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5581" title="mac amorous lipstick" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/mac-amorous-lipstick1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>MAC Amorous Lipstick</em></p>
<p>MAC&#8217;s description of Amorous cracks me up; they call it a &#8220;lovestruck cranberry.&#8221;  *snickers*  Whatever.  It&#8217;s a beautiful hidden gem from their permanent collection.  Amorous is from MAC&#8217;s Satin line &#8212; a semi-matte, pigmented and long-wearing formula.  I wore her for the first time for IMATS Toronto this weekend and fell in love.  After a solid nine hours, its pigment hugged my lips without drying them out or settling into fine lines.  I can&#8217;t even believe I don&#8217;t own other Satins in my lipstick collection.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5578" title="mac amorous lipstick swatch" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/mac-amorous-lipstick-swatch.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="390" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>MAC Amorous Lipstick Swatch</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5577" title="wearing mac amorous" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wearing-mac-amorous.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Wearing MAC Amorous Lipstick</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s one of those colors that makes you feel instantly put together even without a lot of eye makeup.  However I chose to pair it with an antique gold &#8212; <strong>Illamasqua Pure Pigment in <em>Ore</em></strong> &#8212; for a very autumnal and flattering palette. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Oh how I love berries and golds!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5576" title="wearing mac amorous 2" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wearing-mac-amorous-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>

<h3>IMATS Toronto 2011 Sneak Peek!</h3>
<p>In other beauty news, IMATS took Toronto by storm again this past weekend.  Here&#8217;s a little teaser photo of the student winner of the fantasy tribal contest.  I am absolutely slack jawed.  The finished look is so arresting!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5579" title="imats preview" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/imats-preview.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>First place winner of student make-up competition</em></p>
<p>P.S.  How have you been?  Sorry I haven&#8217;t been around that much lately.  I have so many things that I want to do with this makeup thing, and first I want to get an online portfolio started.  What do you think of ArianneMakeup.ca, or MakeupByArianne.ca?</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5444" title="four fall lip products" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/four-fall-lip-products.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>From top to bottom: Maybelline 830 Plum Shine, Vasanti Denmark, FACE atelier Prim Rose, Maybelline Cranberry Crave</em></p>
<h3>Maybelline <em>830 Plum Shine</em> Color Sensational High Shine Lipstick *</h3>
<p>I first saw <strong>Maybelline <em>830 Plum Shine</em> Color Sensational High Shine Lipstick</strong> ($9.99) on <a href="http://www.lipstickrules.com/2011/09/keep-calm-and-blog-on-so-lets-talk-about-lipstick.html">Michelle of Lipstick Rules</a>.  She raved about the lipstick, and of course, I had to have it.  At this price, I&#8217;d definitely pick up a few more.  <em>Plum Shine</em> is a plum-berry with a glossy, frosty finish.  I usually stay away from frosty lipsticks, but this one is done just right; I don&#8217;t feel tacky old lady with this lipstick on. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />   The glossy finish makes it a great option for lipgloss girls who want to try lipstick for the first time.</p>

<h3>Vasanti <em>Denmark</em> Ultra Luxe Lipstick</h3>
<p>It comes as no surprise to me that <strong>Vasanti <em>Denmark</em> Ultra Luxe Lipstick</strong> ($15) is one of Vasanti&#8217;s best-selling lipstick shades.  I mean, really, this is a &#8220;look at me&#8221; kinda shade.  So own it. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Denmark is an opaque berry magenta.  Because of its creamy formula, I pair it with <strong>Annabelle <em>Burgundy</em> Lipliner </strong>so it doesn&#8217;t migrate outside my lip line.  The shade wears a long time, stains the lips, and has Vasanti&#8217;s signature guava scent.  I think it might be a good dupe for <strong>MAC <em>Rebel</em> Lipstick</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5449" title="vasanti denmark" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vasanti-denmark.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>

<h3>FACE atelier <em>Prim Rose</em> Lip Glaze</h3>
<p>I <a title="Lipgloss Fights Back: FACE atelier Peach Lip Glaze." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2010/05/lipgloss-fights-back-face-atelier-peach-lip-glaze/">wrote about it before</a>, and I still think that FACE atelier&#8217;s Lip Glaze is one of the best lipgloss formulas out on the market. I picked up <strong>FACE atelier <em>Prim Rose</em> Lip Glaze</strong> ($22) at IMATS last year and I&#8217;m so glad I did.  Primrose is a beautiful plummy rose lipgloss.  It is opaque, non-sticky and unscented.  I like this one because it&#8217;s a &#8220;my lips but vampier&#8221; kinda colour.  It&#8217;s certainly darker than my natural lip colour, but it is still a swipe-and-go kind of shade.  Don&#8217;t let the higher price fool you.  The tube is huge; it contains 0.5 oz of product, whereas MAC Lipglass has 0.17 oz.  That&#8217;s almost 3x the product!  This one is so worth the price.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5446" title="face atelier prim rose" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/face-atelier-prim-rose.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>

<h3>Maybelline <em>85 Cranberry Crave</em> Shine Sensational Lipgloss *</h3>
<p>If you like your lip gloss on the sheer side, I like <strong>Maybelline <em>85 Cranberry Crave</em> Shine Sensational Lipgloss</strong> ($6.99).  This one has a sweet taste, though, but it&#8217;s not totally awful.  It is super glossy and low on the shimmer.  This is a great pick for those who don&#8217;t usually go bold on the lips.  It&#8217;s perfect to layer on top of the <em>Plum Shine</em> lipstick.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5447" title="maybelline cranberry crave" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/maybelline-cranberry-crave.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>

<p>Because we are a band of beauty bloggers, naturally we make a pact with a face of the day.  Here&#8217;s mine.</p>

shu uemura <em>tutu laceflare</em> False Eyelashes*.  Because it&#8217;s fun to make your eyes feel like ballerinas.<br />
Illamasqua <em>Alchemy</em> Precision Ink Liner.  Outline the mask with this fine glitter liner.  Because it&#8217;s not a Glitter Geek mask without glitter!<br />

<p>With a few adjustments in Photoshop, you can see how the right brow shape and makeup can balance out the face nicely.  By the way, I don&#8217;t know how that photo on the left actually <a title="Simple Smoky Eyes with Smink Nancy Oh!" href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2011/01/simple-smoky-eyes-with-smink-nancy-oh/">made the cut to a post on the blog</a>.  We must have been on medication of some sort that day. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h3>Brow &#8220;Rules&#8221;</h3>
<p>I write rules in quotes as they really should be taken loosely.  These are what I find work for me, and what I&#8217;ve noticed in many makeup photos in the past.  I don&#8217;t claim to be a brow expert.</p>
<ul>
<li>Pair bold eyes with softer brows, and statement lips with strong brows.</li>
<li>Brows are the most flattering when they are sharpest at the tail and softest at the head.</li>
<li>Colours with cool undertones work better than warm shades.  Taupes generally work better than straight up browns.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What You&#8217;ll Need</h3>
<ul>
<li>A brow pencil (MAC Eye Brows in <em>Spiked</em>)</li>
<li>A brow powder or eyeshadow (MAC Eyeshadow in <em>Coquette</em> or <em>Brun</em>)</li>
<li>A clean mascara wand</li>
<li>An angled eyeliner brush</li>
<li>Q-tips</li>
<li>Optional: A champagne / light beige eyeshadow (MAC Eyeshadow in <em>Arena</em>)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shaping Your Brows</h3>
<p>As general guidelines &#8212; if your brow arch follows this shape &#8212; for how to shape your brows (and if you read a lot of beauty blogs, you probably already know these):</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5303" title="0 eyebrow diagram" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/0-eyebrow-diagram.jpg" alt="" width="466" height="600" /></p>
<ol>
<li>The head of the brows should start aligned with the inner corner of the eyes or the edge of the nose.</li>
<li>The highest part of the arch should be aligned along a diagonal with the middle or edge of your iris.</li>
<li>The tail of the brows should end aligned along a diagonal with the outer corners of your eyes.</li>
</ol>
<div>If you are too clumsy/scared to DIY, no worries!  Go to a professional to get the right shape for your face and maintain the shape for as long as you can.</div>
<h3>Makeup Your Brows</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5321" title="0 eyebrow start" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/0-eyebrow-start2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Naked eyebrow</em></p>
<p>Starting at point (2) in the diagram, take your brow pencil to sketch out the shape, working your way to point (3).  Make sure the brows taper off at the tails.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5305" title="1 brow pencil" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/1-brow-pencil.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="221" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>After brow pencil on the tail</em></p>
<p>Dip an angled eyeliner brush in your brow powder, and starting at point (2) in the diagram, fill in the sparse areas of your brows working inwards to point (1).  This ensures that the most product goes in the top of the arch, and the left over product goes on the head of the brows to avoid that drawn in look.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5316" title="2 brow powder 2" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/2-brow-powder-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>MAC Coquette and MAC Brun Eyeshadows</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5311" title="2 brow powder" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/2-brow-powder.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="221" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>After brow powder on the inner half</em></p>
<p>Brush out your brows with a clean mascara wand to soften the shading.  If you were heavy handed with the makeup, run a dry Q-tip through your brows to take away some of the product.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5308" title="3 brow spoolie application" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/3-brow-spoolie-application.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="221" /></p>
<p>Optional: Highlight the brow bone with a champagne or light beige eyeshadow to make your brows stand out.  It also conceals any stray hairs that might have been left behind. <img src='http://www.glittergeek.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5317" title="4 brow highlight 2" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/4-brow-highlight-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>MAC Arena Eyeshadow</em></p>
<p>Aaaand&#8230; you&#8217;re done!  Go forth and show off your improved brow arches.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-5310 aligncenter" title="5 finished brows" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/5-finished-brows.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Finished eyebrow</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5313" title="before and after" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/before-and-after.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="221" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Before / After</em></p>
<p>Once you get the hang of it, the whole process only takes 2 minutes. The results are worth it, too. It makes you look more polished in almost no time at all.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast<br />
</em></p>
<p>Dear Bright Forecast ($27.50; I&#8217;m calling you BF from now on),</p>
<p>You complete me. Really, you do.</p>
<p>I have to be totally honest, though.  I was a little concerned at the start.  You were a total charmer and everyone was falling in love with you (you are an <a href="http://blog.artistrhi.com/2011/06/27/product-review-five-face-faves/">artistrhi top 5 face fave</a> after all).  They said you are like YSL Touche Éclat not-so-snooty counterpart, and that you perform better, too.  It was the perfect recipe for a heartbreak.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m glad I took a chance on you, BF.  You know why?  Because you didn&#8217;t offer any false promises.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5221" title="mac prep prime highlighter bright forecast applicator" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/mac-prep-prime-highlighter-bright-forecast-applicator.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast (applicator)</em></p>
<p>Underneath or atop <a title="Bid Tired Eyes Goodbye with MAC Pro Longwear Concealer." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2010/10/bid-tired-eyes-goodbye-with-mac-pro-longwear-concealer/">MAC Pro Longwear Concealer</a> (NW30) under my eyes, you take away darkness more than any other concealer had ever done before. Your peachy colour almost completely neutralizes my dark circles that I barely need any concealer at all.  Just between you and me, if I had to choose, I&#8217;d ditch MAC Pro Longwear Concealer for you.  Keep it a secret though; he&#8217;s a bit of a jealous type.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5259" title="mac prep prime highlighter bright forecast before after" src="http://media.glittergeek.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/mac-prep-prime-highlighter-bright-forecast-before-after.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="262" /></p>

<h3>Have You Tried Anything from MAC Prep + Prime Line Before?</h3>
<p>I really want to try the new Prep + Prime pressed powder.  I&#8217;ve been reading great reviews about it.  What about you?</p>

<h3>Get the Look</h3>
<p><strong>For the eyes</strong>, start with a grey cream eyeshadow base (<a title="Avoid Eye Makeupocalypse with Mary Kay Creme Eye Colors." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2011/02/avoid-eye-makeupocalypse-with-mary-kay-creme-eye-colors/">Mary Kay Glacier Gray Creme Eye Color</a>) all over the lid past the crease. Go over the same area with the grey from the Lise Watier palette, and blend out the edges. Next, pat on the muted blue all over the lid. Take the chocolate brown with a pointed crease brush and map out a slight wing shape on the outer corners. Fill in the outer third of the lid with the chocolate brown. Then, using a pencil/smudge brush, smudge the chocolate brown into the top and bottom lash lines. Clean up the shape with a Q-tip, if necessary. Just above the chocolate brown, apply a matte warm brown (MAC Soft Brown) to warm up the brow bone. Highlight the brow bone and inner corners with the icy white eyeshadow.</p>
<p>Line the top and bottom waterlines with a black liner (<a title="A Tale of Two Annabelle Smudgeliners." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2010/07/a-tale-of-two-annabelle-smudgeliners/">Annabelle Ohmygoth! Smudgeliner</a>). Finish with a couple coats of volumizing mascara (Annabelle Le Big Show Mascara).</p>
<p><strong>For the cheeks</strong>, keep it natural with a matte pinky brown blush (<a title="Going (Sort of) Au Naturel with NARS Douceur Blush." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2010/09/going-sort-of-au-naturel-with-nars-douceur-blush/">NARS Douceur Blush</a>) and sweep up and out towards your ears.</p>
<p><strong>For the lips</strong>, apply a glossy nude pink lipstick (<a title="Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Ming: the Perfect Nude Pink and a Welcome Break from Bold Lips." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2010/10/chanel-rouge-allure-laque-in-ming-the-perfect-nude-pink-and-a-welcome-break-from-bold-lips/">Chanel <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ming R</span>ouge Allure Laque</a>).</p>

<h3>Get the Look</h3>
<p><strong>For the eyes</strong>, build up the colour by patting on a bright teal (Sleek Chaos i-Divine Palette) all over the lid and on the lower lash line. Blend the colour into the crease, then apply a medium brown on the crease. Deepen the outer crease by adding a dark brown. On the outer lid, blend in a vibrant purple (<a title="The Poor Girl’s MUFE #92 Eyeshadow." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2009/11/the-poor-girls-mufe-92-eyeshadow/">Auraline Bright Violet</a>) and the outer third of the lower lash line.  Highlight the brow bone and inner corners with a light peach (<a title="Night of Swatching: MAC + Vasanti Go Canada! Palette." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2010/03/night-of-swatching-mac-vasanti-go-canada-palette/">MAC Arena</a>).</p>
<p>Line the upper lash line with a black gel liner (MAC Blacktrack), and the waterlines with a black pencil liner (Giorgio Armani waterproof).  Apply your favourite mascara (CoverGirl Lash Blast).</p>
<p><strong>For the cheeks</strong>, lightly bronze all over the high points of the face with a peachy pink bronzer (<a title="What True Love Looks Like: Diorskin Nude Healthy Glow Powder in Aurora." href="http://www.glittergeek.ca/2011/07/what-true-love-looks-like-diorskin-nude-healthy-glow-powder-in-aurora/">Dior Aurora</a>).  Then, on the apples of the cheeks, apply a light dusting of a shimmery peachy pink blush (NARS Deep Throat).</p>
<p><strong>For the lips</strong>, apply a warm rosy pink lipstick (Chanel Jersey Rose). Add a shimmery lip gloss on top (Chanel Maline).</p>
