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.

Now take your lashes all the way to big, bold and beautiful with a sumptuous new mascara from Estée Lauder. NEW Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara delivers sophisticated color for lavishly vibrant lashes that are voluptuous, extravagant and daringly full without clumping.

Combining all the benefits of Estée Lauder’s original Sumptuous Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara with the added impact of beautifully vibrant color, this daringly divine mascara delivers fabulously full, sensuously curved, all-out seductive lashes that highlight, contrast and frame your eyes with the surprise of brilliant color. Available in a full fantasy of vividly rich, wearable jewel-tone shades of Amber, Garnet, Sapphire, Amethyst and Emerald, Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara makes it possible to instantly take your look from the everyday to the extraordinary!

Luxurious Mousse-like Formula

While conventional color mascaras can be chalky, Estee Lauder’s NEW Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara uses a specific blend of fine pearls and pigments to optimize and achieve rich, sumptuous color.

Made with Estee Lauder’s unprecedented Bold Volume™ formula, this sumptuously rich mascara contains a calculated blend of light-weight gels, polymers, waxes and pigments to lift and plump even sparse lashes into big, lush lashes that are all lightness and flirtatious curl.

The formula’s mousse-like, jellified suspension system utilizes “swollen” water to gently and lightly suspend the ingredients, allowing the use of less wax to add dramatic volume and lifting.

Adding to the exceptionally light base are ultra-light, lash thickening, “Y”-shaped Micro-Lock fibers that reinforce the volume enhancing, airy properties of the formula. These innovative nylon fibers interlock and stack together to create a pillow-like cushion around each lash, filling in even the sparsest of lashes and delivering glamorously rich volume and lift. The fibers are blended with Tack-Flex polymers that have the ability to quickly coat lashes from root to tip keeping lashes, light and flexible while adding exaggerated volume and weightless lift. All the volume without clumping!

Technologically Advanced Brush Design

Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara’s exclusive BrushComber™ brush delivers all the thickening effects of a brush with the definition of a comb thanks to two types of bristle fibers - a softer bristle that grabs hold of the formula to create volume and a more rigid bristle that expertly separates lashes. Together, the fibers thicken and volumize lashes in one fast coat without clumping.

Ideal for even the sparsest of lashes, Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara is fragrance free, ophthalmologist tested, and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Easily remove the mascara with makeup remover, such as Estee Lauder’s Take It Away Total Makeup Remover.

Express yourself in a dramatic new fashion this fall with bold, brilliant color and voluptuously full, sensuously curved, all-out seductive lashes. Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara will be available for a limited time at Estée Lauder counters nationwide and on www.esteelauder.com beginning in September 2009. Suggested retail price: $19.50.
