Forget a smooth, single line—backstage at Zero + Maria Cornejo’s fall 2009 show, makeup maestro Dick Page “sketched” multiple black lines onto models’ peepers using soft, varied brushstrokes. “We always do something a bit abstract for Maria. The eye look is based on one of the prints in the collection,” says Page. “The cream liner gives a dense black finish and the Shiseido Hydro-Powder Eye Shadow in Violet Visions provides traces of color. There’s no contoured, detailed shading—it’s just fun.” Adding to the playful spontaneity: Each model’s liner-shadow etching was individualized (though a healthy coating of black Shiseido Perfect Mascara remained constant).

Glamour Magazine’s Sneaky Ways to Make the Purrfect Cat Eye

Sometimes cat-eye makeup can look a little too old-school and contrived, but somehow Ginnifer Goodwin makes it look modern and sexy. So what’s the secret? The sharpness and length of the liner. See how it thins out to a precise, pointed line at the end? It stretches to the very end of her eyebrows—the perfect stopping point when you’re lining your own eyes. A sharply pointed liquid liner makes it easy to get a straight and narrow line. Try one of the new liquid liners pens, like Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen. They look (and work!) just like a fine-tip Magic Marker. To make the liner look even sharper, use a lining brush to apply a highlighting cream or even foundation to trace the top edge of the liner—it’ll make it stand out even more and camouflage any unsteady edges.

YSL MASCARA SINGULIERExaggerated LashesDramatic StylingA daring new interpretation of beautiful eyes. Glamorous volume, bold length, voluptuous curl and dramatic styling: MASCARA SINGULIER dares to do everything.A unique innovation by Yves Saint Laurent, the mascara brush combines the technology of a traditional brush with the structure of a moulded brush, to increase the performance of the formula: structured in an elliptic way, the multi-dimensional bristles ensure “Haute Couture” precision and dress the lashes evenly from root to tip. By coating the root of the lashes with mascara like a stroke of eyeliner, the brush creates a unique and intense new type of separation.Volumizing micro-spheres thicken the lashes, with Pro-vitamin B5 to protect, nourish, and reinforce of the lashes’ structure. Like hair extensions, nylon micro-fibres extend the lashes. A high performance “curling wax” helps style the lashes for an ideal curve.APPLICATION TIPS:Apply over perfectly dry eyelashes. Start application at the root of the lashes in a zigzag motion to coat each lash and create volume. Stretch the colour upward to the very tip to lengthen the lashes and create a dramatic styling. Then, apply to outer and inner corners. To achieve a beautiful curling effect, press the brush a few seconds against the upper lashes.$30.00

When I wake up in the morning my face tends to be pretty puffy and I just found a great beauty fix that I wanted to share from Cosmopolitan.

COSMOPOLITAN SUBSCRIPTION

Q:When I wake up in the morning, my face is really puffy. What can I do?

A:Rub an eye cream with calming caffeine, like L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Antiwrinkle and Firming Eye Cream, $15.99, over these puff-prone spots: under your eyes and on the sides of your nose and your jawline. Then cut up a cold cucumber, and massage a thin slice all over your face in little circles, sweeping it upward and outward. The cuke’s extract is a natural astringent that works to minimize swelling, says Palm Beach derm Kenneth Beer.
