How to get perfect eyebrows

Ok the truth is that most people do not have fabulous eyebrows but that doesn't mean that they can't have fabulous eyebrows. And until you do, you don't realize how important they are to your face! It can change your whole look.

So heres the deal:
1. If you have thicker eyebrows, rock them! Don't make then ridiculously skinny if they weren't meant to be that way. Just tweeze the extra hairs below the brow that don't belong.
2. DON'T WAX your eyebrows. What? Yes, you read correctly, do not WAX your eyebrows, tweeze them chicas. Think about it, the skin on your eyes is very thin and sensitive, waxing it will just speed up the drooping process, no one wants that. Tweeze them and you can even whip out an eyebrow razor and scissors too. If you can't resist waxing then just wax the middle part between the two, the skin is thicker there.
3. Here's the biggest secret of all: your eyebrows should be an eyes legth apart. So if you put a third eye in the middle of your two brows that is exactly how far apart they should be. You can make them a hair closer or further apart if you have very wide set or close set eyes.
4. The arch should be right above the outside of your pupil if you're looking straight into the mirror.
5. The biggest mistake that I see is people forget to tweeze some of the hairs below the brows towards the center of the face. In other words, a lot of people's brows end up looking like little squares with lines coming out of them. You've seen it! We all have.
6. If you have unruley brows, go ahead and trim them with scissors, no problemo. Just be careful.
7. I'm not condoning it but I myself have once been known to put Rogaine on my brows before bed to make them grow back quicker. Hey I was once a victim of the box/line brows too.
8. Fill them in with brow powder, not pencil. Pencil is harsh and unnatural. Use an angled brush and fill them in everyday. It will change your look.

Hope that helps!

Get the Look- Gossip Girl Style

Alright, so I have to admit, my guilty pleasure is without a doubt Gossip Girl. I plan my life around Monday nights and TiVo it just in case I miss the first 2 seconds. Blair and Serena always flaunt the latest fashions and makeup. So you wanna look like a gossip girl?


Create the same look with Cliche Cosmetics. Serena is often seen with pink eyeshadow similar to "pillow talk" with her eyes lined in black (black magic with some iline will do the trick). She usually has pink lipgloss on in a shade like "pink extravaganza minty gloss". Blair is usually seen in more of a red gloss, like "cherry minty gloss". Her eyes are usually lined in a "choclate brown" color and a nude shadow with a hint of shimmer like "cream dust". Both of them tend to rock the pink blush, (I suggest "chic"). And there you have it. Pretty simple with a stunning effect.


The List:
Eyeshadows in Pillowtalk, Black Magic, Cream Dust, and Chocolate Brown
iline
Minty lipgloss in Pink Extravaganza and Cherry
Chic Blush
Maybe a little bronzer...

Isn't that the perfect custom compact?

You Know You Love Me,
