I absolutely adored this dress and retro look on Blake Lively at her Savages premiere. Instyle Magazine has tracked down the exact colors to get this perfect retro red. Now I just need the dress, hair and body!

 

Found It! Blake Lively’s Sexy Red Lipstick

Nothing ties a retro look together like a true red lipstick and a flick of liquid liner. Case in point: Blake Lively’s Old Hollywood-inspired getup. “Blake wanted a classic matte red lip,” said her makeup artist Elaine Offers. “We went with the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils in Dragon Girl and Red Square.” These jumbo lip crayons take the guesswork out of choosing a matching liner, and the velvety formula keeps your pucker from feeling parched. Added bonus: We love how Red Square, an orange-based scarlet, adds a touch of warmth to the blue-based Dragon Girl.

I’m smitten with MUD’s Cake Eyeliner. I have always loved the look of liquid eyeliner but with a very unsteady hand I generally stick to eyeliner pencils. Cake Eyeliner gives my eyes that same dramatic look but is so easy to apply. Its a powder formula, just wet your eyeliner brush and swirl into Cake Eyeliner. Once you reach the desired intensity just let it dry and it lasts smudge-free until you wash it off.

Make-up Designory (MUD)  Cake Eyeliner .

The formula, known for its precision and versatility, arrives with staying power and its easy to use. Achieve an even application by first slightly wetting the brush then dip and roll into Cake Eyeliner. For a super fine line, use MUD’s #100 Round Liner Brush, #210 Angle Liner Brush or #900 Round Liner Brush with very little pressure to create smooth, soft eyes.

For a true high-definition look apply greater pressure to the brush for a thick line on the upper and lower lids. Allow liner to dry completely before fully opening the eye. Avoid drawing a straight line above your eyelash. Instead glide the liner and dab the brush at the base of the eyelid until you reach your statement look.

Available in a chocolate brown and jet-black smudge-resistant shade

MUD’s Cake Eyeliner has a suggested retail price of $13 for a 3g/0.105 oz. compact and is available at select MUD shops and boutique locations or www.mudshop.com.

I received a full size of this mascara in my amazing June GlossyBox (a great way to try new products)! I use so many mascaras and like a lot of them but I have to say ShowOff Mascara is pretty awesome. The curved brush helps add curl while I am applying the mascara and the formula not only makes my lashes look thicker but also a lot longer! I can wear this all day even in the summer heat and no flaking. My only tiny issue is I think the opening needs to be smaller as too much mascara tends to come out on the wand. But with how great it makes my eyelashes look it’s not a huge issue.

No Mascara

2 coats of Showoff Mascara.

BeautyADDICTS SHOWOFF Mascara.

Intense, dramatic lashes with one easy stroke! This unique formula offers volume, length and curl with Argan Oil to condition and protect. The curved brush hugs the natural eye shape to coat every lash while fanning and feathering. No clumps, no flakes, no smudges!
