I love how Adele has positioned herself as someone beautiful without having to be stereotypically slim.  Her makeup is always spot on and she’s an absolute beauty to behold and listen to each time I see her, which is only a few times but they’ve made a hasty impression on me.  I’ll admit I wasn’t one of her earlier followers, but when I started to notice how utterly original she was, she made a fan out of me.

Lisa Eldridge’s Work Appropriate Makeup Tutorial on Oriental Skin

Finally, Lisa Eldridge, my favorite Pro UK makeup artist, does a tutorial for work appropriate makeup on a model with oriental skin who isn’t overtly pale.

It’s Lisa’s reinvention of the conventional work look which I highly appreciate.  Instead of aiming for a stereotypical, flat, matte look she lifts it by aiming for a look that’s fresh, light, and semi-dewy.  Watch the polished work makeup tutorial here.

Summer Slides – Online Images that Bring on the Heat

The chilly winds haven’t completely let up…but Valentine’s Day and summer are slowly creeping in.  Just wanted to share a sequence of some images that have brightened up my day and never fail to make me wish for summer to arrive sooner! (reblogged sources at bottom).

Reblogging: Charlotte’s Shiny New Kjaer Weis Eyeshadow

Impossible not to share.  Simply impossible.  I thought nothing could get more luxurious than a Rouge Bunny Rouge or Burberry eyeshadow until  I saw Charlotte’s brand new purchase, a Kjaer Weis single eyeshadow *Faints*.  She blames Modesty Brown for making her get it LOL.

Get the full post on Charlotte’s shiny new Kjaer Weis Eyeshadow in “Wisdom”.  You can also go to the full review by clicking on her gorgeous photo.  The products, similar to Clarins in this trend, are created from natural, plant derived ingredients and advanced botanical formulations thus promoting “green beauty”.  If you go to the Kjaer Weis website you’re bound to be awestruck like I was because of the simplicity and smart design.

The range was put forth by Danish NY based Makeup Artist Kjaer Weis. These products are exquisite, they won a 2011 Wallpaper design award for “Best New Grooming Product”.  Oh, to hope for a gift like this, someday, somewhere.
