Tanning a Tattoo

January 28th, 2008 by Shana

As a kid, I’d drawn on myself with sunscreen so that after a day outside, I’d have white stars and hearts in the middle of my bright red sunburn. I might have been onto something more than melanoma.

Taiwanese designer Yu-Chiao Wang created a robe that allows sun (or, better yet, sunless tanning spray) to get through in a pattern, resulting in a temporary, full-body design. It’d definately be a unique addition to an open back dress.

How to do smokey blue eyes

January 22nd, 2008 by BSD

Are you a shining blonde goddess with a need for smoky eyes liek Mary Kate Olsen? We have the secret!

You can also see this tutorial as a video or find a make up school.

Ashley Before

It doesn’t take black eye liner to get that smoky look when you have blue eyes. You can create it without using colors that are too dark. Ashley is our subject for this demonstration.

Base eye make-up

To begin, we’ll start with a primer on her lids. This creates a smoother, longer-lasting, and crease-proof eye shadow application.Base eye make-up

The base color is essential. We don’t want to go too dark yet. We’re applying a silver blue shadow to Ashley as our base color.

Now, let’s go green for a cooler, neutral shadow. In this case, we will use a blue-green in the crease.

Pretty dramatic, right? Already, her eyes are beginning to smolder. Now let’s apply a bit of dark blue in the crease as well.

Applying eye shadow

When doing this at home, apply makeup in layers and you won’t get it too dark. That way, you don’t have to worry about taking anything off. We also suggest that you blend the colors on the lid.

Now, let’s line Ashley’s top lid with black and the bottom lid with dark blue. It doesn’t take much to accentuate what we’ve already done.

Mascara

Finally, we will apply black mascara to the upper and lower lashes. We will finish up by filling in Ashley’s eyebrows with a brownish-blonde brow shadow.

Smokey eyes - open

The end result is smoky eyes, just like Mary Kate’s. Isn’t she gorgeous? She’s ready for a night on the town!
