How to Wear Glittery Liner in a Classy Way
Who ever said that glittery makeup is only reserved for the middle-school crowd? At last night's New York premiere of Amelia, it definitely wasn't Hilary Swank. Wearing an unexpected silvery-blue shadow on both her upper and lower lash lines to coordinate with her steely blue-green gown, Hilary proves that sparkling, shimmery finishes don't have to look cheesy.
Go Beyond Brown and Black With a Colorful Eyeliner
It seems to me that the majority of makeup wearers opt for the fairly standard hues of brown or black. Pretty, but a bit boring, nonetheless. For New Year's Eve I went bold with a bright blue liner, and this got me to thinking about the rainbow of colors available beyond traditional shades.
How-To: Do It Like Loren
...and Padma and even Anne. In the most recent issue of Allure, I read a cool tip that Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi follows to create Sophia Loren-esque eyes. First, she starts by applying some black eyeliner to her lash line, then adds a blue liner on top.

Beautiful Blue Eyeliner!
Blue eyeliner is still going strong this summer. This is one 80's look that I never thought would come back. According to Molly Roncal, a NYC Make Up artist, this trend isn't going anywhere either.

You Can Look Pretty in Purple Shadow, Too
Emma Stone sure knows how to glam it up, doesn't she? At last night's GQ Men of the Year event in LA, the actress wowed in this subtle lavender shadow. Encircling the eyes with makeup can look raccoon-like, but Emma manages to pull it off, thanks to a light touch and a soft-toned shade.
Mally Roncal Shares Workplace-Friendly Makeup Tips
There's a time and place for sparkly blue eye shadow, and 9:30 a.m. at work is not it. (Unless, of course, you work at Cirque du Soleil, in which case, have at it.) For most of us, looking professional is about looking polished.
Runway Makeup Shades You Can Wear Now
So many of the shades on the runway are hard or impossible to track down — the perfect blue nail polish from Vena Cava, the gorgeous turquoise eyeliner at Tibi, etc. Luckily, though, some designers have realized just how much demand there is for their colors, and are coming out with runway makeup collections. A lot of stuff is still unavailable, but I've put together some of the prettiest samples from the collections that are coming out now.
Doing Drugstore: L'Oréal HIP Color Rich Cream Eyeliner
I'm a big fan of Bobbi Brown's great Long Wear Gel Eyeliner ($21) for waterlining and intense pigment, but Bobbi doesn't make bright teal, which is one of my favorite shades to wear, so I turned to HIP Color Rich Cream Eyeliner ($12). I like it because it sticks nicely on the rims of my eyes, and therefore I don't have any trouble with bright blue smudges. If you're a fan of waterlining, I highly recommend this one.
Tonight's Eyeliner Will Be Bright and Blue
