01.25.11How To: Tightline Your EyesI'm currently obsessed with the makeup technique known as "tightlining", which is just applying liner to the lash line of your upper lashes--right at the waterline. It's a great way to apply eye makeup when you want to look a bit polished without wearing much makeup. All you need is a flat eyeliner brush, like Laura Mercier's Flat Eyeliner Brush and a waterproof gel liner, like MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack or Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner. (Plus, it's a good idea to have some eye makeup remover and Q-tips on hand to fix mistakes. There's definitely a learning curve!) For tips on ...

12.18.10Hair Inspiration: Wavy BobA while back a HOTB reader requested a wavy/curly/bob inspiration, and I think Bianca Duenas has one of the most gorgeous examples of this style. By the way, if Bianca's name sounds familiar, it's because she dated (or is dating?) Gabe Saporta from the band Cobra Starship. Into The Gloss got the full report on Bianca's beauty routine. “I’m pretty simple," she says. "I wear my hair wavy because it’s low maintenance. Good cut and color go a long way. I see Sharon Dorram every six weeks or so." Check out Bianca's top beauty picks: Embryolisse Crème Hydratante à l’extrait d’orange - ...

11.01.10Fall Makeup Trends From e.l.f.e.l.f. is one of those makeup lines that I've been meaning to try, but for one reason or another have not gotten around to trying until now! The deal with e.l.f. (stand for eyes lips face) is that they carry pretty much everything makeup and beauty product you can imagine--from makeup brushes and tool to bath products and nail polishes to mineral makeup and much more. But it's all super low priced--I'm talking makeup brushes and mascara for $1.00 and mineral eye shadows, primers and eyeliners for $3.00! I recently got the chance to test out the newest items for ...

09.10.10Paula's Choice Foundations For FallI have these holes in my makeup/skincare experience--like awhile back I'd never tried a single M·A·C makeup product, although all that has changed now! Paula's Choice was another one of those strange gaps in my repertoire. I have heard all about Paula Begoun, the skin care expert and bestselling author of Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, but I'd never tried any of her products. Recently, though I've been testing out a couple of Paula's Choice foundations as we start to transition into the fall season: Barely There Sheer Matte Tint SPF 20 and Paula's Choice Best Face ...

04.27.10Leigh Lezark's Beauty TipsHave you ever wondered what was in Leigh Lezark's makeup bag? I have but I am super nosy like that! But apparently a lot of other people are too because I found a plethora of information about it! Leigh told Elle UK that she doesn’t always have the best skin care regime and sometimes even sleeps with her makeup on. (Yet, she still wakes up with flawless skin. Damn her.) She tries to make up for it by using an exfoliator and cleansing masks once or twice a week. She uses Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque by Kiehl’s. On ...

03.04.10MAC Blush Ombre & EyeshadowHere is a weird thing to admit as a beauty blogger and an all-around makeup obsessed human being: Before a few weeks ago, I'd never used a single MAC makeup product. I know! How is that even possible? MAC is omnipresent in the beauty world and has the best of everything. I'll get really real on you and admit that the MAC counter has always intimidated me. The MAC girls are so intensely fly. They're kinda scary. But fear not. They just look intimidating because their makeup is flawless. But yours (and mine) can be too. I recently tested out MAC's ...
