How to Fix Broken Make Up

I hate it when this happens! A few weeks ago my lovely NARS Bronzer smashed to little bits...needless to say, I was devastated. Not only is it a waste of product but it is also a waste of money. Ladies, do not fret, there is a simple solution!

1. Fill an eye dropper with rubbing alcohol.

2. Drop a few drops of alcohol on to your broken make up until it turns into a paste.

3. With your finger, press the broken pieces together and flatten as much as possible.

4. Allow the make up to dry for a few hours. Do not touch!

This finished product may not look pretty, but at least your hard earned dollars aren't wasted!

Three Makeup Tips for a Slim Face

Whether you need to lose weight or were just blessed - or cursed - with a round face, there are a number of makeup tricks you might be able to use to slim the appearance of your face considerably.

Makeup Step #1: Begin with your eyes. Make your eyes stand out with the skillful application of eye shadow and mascara. Do the same with your eyebrows. Do not overly pluck your eyebrows, so that they are little more than thin lines. Instead, allow them to have a bit of fullness.

Makeup Step #2: Do not forget to also spend a bit of time on your cheekbones. Ideally, you will apply sculpting powder not only to your cheekbones, but also to the jaw line. An old makeup trick furthermore suggests the use of sculpting powder for the sides of the nose, but only if this fits in with the overall impression the sculpting powder offers. After all, you do not want your rounded face to have a chiseled looking nose but hardly-there cheekbones.
As a general rule, it is wise to avoid the overuse of sculpting powder and blush. Although they can go well together, if you do not apply them expertly, you end up with an odd look that is either uneven, striped, or both. Play around with these beauty products under harsh lights, so you get a good feel of the amount to apply, the brushstrokes to use, and also where to concentrate your efforts. Spending a bit of time at the onset makes this an easy enough procedure later on.

Makeup Step #3: Last but not least, plump your lips. After accentuating the eyes and sculpting the cheeks, you need to also draw attention to the lower portion of the face. This is easily done by using a lip plumper and also applying lip gloss over your lipstick to the middle portion of your lower lip. This is a great way to draw attention away from the roundest portion of your face.

Hope this helps!

MAC Cosmetics Mineralize Tips From MAC Make Up Artist Keri

I really could have used an extra hour of sleep last night...oh, who am I kidding I could have used an extra five hours of sleep. I have an insane headache that 30 Advil's won't cure. FML. Last night was one of those annoying nights where you get into a senseless argument right before you are supposed to go to sleep. It was one of those stupid arguments that could have been totally avoided if specific precautions had been taken...again...who am I kidding...I would have flipped out either way....But it's nothing a little retail therapy and a sweet kiss from someone special won't cure. Anyway, my bloody alarm goes off at the usual time this morning and I do my usual routine of hitting the snooze three hundred times before I get up....but this morning was a little different. No, I still hit the snooze three hundred times...but I looked over at my blackberry and I had an email that cheered me up for a few seconds...MAC Cosmetics beauty expert Keri has posted a wonderful how to video on the website. It perfectly illustrates how to make your Mineralize products look absolutely amazing. Thank you God for making my morning a little less miserable... click here for the delicious details.........

So, now I have a few things to look forward to today...and no sitting at work for 8 hours wondering why I can not be left alone for two seconds to get any of my own work done is so impossible, is not what I mean. The few highlights include watching Obsessed - yes I know it's an awful movie but, what can I say..I enjoying watching Beyonce attempt to act. I'm not going to lie, knowing there is a woman with bigger thighs then me makes me feels fabulous. I'm not trying to hate on her, because if I was that would mean that I was jealous of her and I'm am not jealous of her looks because, well you know...and I almost feel bad for the girl...she has to wake up to Jay-Z's face every morning, that would drive me to suicide, and we all know he has a face that only a mother could love. Before I head to the movie I plan on hitting up MAC for some retail therapy. MAC is like a perfect friend that never ever disappoints. Even if I walk out of there with nothing, which is physically impossible, I will walk out of there with a huge smile on my face. Also, most importantly....tomorrow is FRIDAY! I think I just heard the entire world sigh...who doesn't love Friday?! Thankfully, I get to spend the weekend with a bottle of vodka, champagne, a blender and some wonderful girl talk...outside of the city.

Now would it be totally inappropriate if I pulled a George Costanza and took a nap under my desk.....?
