I’m really loving this series that I have been contributing to over the past couple of months on Meg’s awesome blog. This June, my fellow bloggers and I are sharing our favorite tips for caring for all of your hair. Don’t miss this roundup of some amazing ideas and products right here.
I feel like I have been going on and on and on and on about “nude lips, inky eye”. Not only is it my current favorite, but I see it on the runways, celebrities and so many of my friends. It is low matenience for a night on the town (no lipstick touch ups). You can vamp it up for drama, or chill it out for during the day. The hard part is getting that eye liner just right.
First, pick the formula of eye liner you are most comfortable with – usually a pencil. Use short strokes close to your lash line to get the perfect shape. Use a pointed q-tip to clean up mistakes. Don’t worry about skipped spots or perfect color saturation. Just get a base coat on. Second, take a gel liner with a brush or liquid liner pen and trace over keeping exactly in the line you have already drawn. You can use short tiny lines with the end of the liquid pencil. Or use a very fine brush to apply the gel within the lines (see how tiny that tarte brush is on the left?).
If you are an overachiever, take a final layer – of liquid or powder – and set that liner for the long haul. Make sure to apply mascara from the very roots to really emphasize and extend that line.
This post is the first in a series of makeup tips. Hope you enjoy!

For this look, I’d use these products:
If I had to pick one person to be my skin guru, hands down it would be Kate Somerville. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Kate – couldn’t be nicer or more approachable. I have visited her skin clinic in West Hollywood – um… beauty mecca dare I say! And I have tried (or at least sampled) a huge portion of her products. The clean lines, direct approach and efficacious formulas add up to real, smart skin care.
So, today I am thrilled to share some of Kate’s Winter Skin Care Tips. Her main message: As the winter month approach, it’s important to tweak your skin care regimen to balance the harsh temperatures and your skin’s confusion to the drastic changes in environment. Now is the season to Exfoliate, Hydrate and Moisturize for glowing skin!
