Beauty Mark: Hungry Eyes

Our makeup guru Amy Wheeler is back with more fabulous tips.

Q: I use drugstore eyeshadow and it never lasts all day. I’m too busy to reapply during work, but I can’t afford expensive department store eyeshadow. Do you know of any inexpensive long-wearing eye shadows?

A: You can purchase a great long wearing shadow at Walgreens by Physicians Formula for $7.99. The product is Physicians formula, The Baked Collection, Wet/Dry eye shadow.

Baked eye shadows stay on very well and have rich color due to the lack of moisture in the formula. All moisture is removed in the baking process. Apply wet and you enhance color even more and make the shadow even longer wearing. Simply get the tip of a shadow brush damp with water then dip in shadow and apply to lid. These products have a micro fine consistency and smooth texture that goes on flawlessly and won’t flake off, crease, or sink in.

Bare Minerals, which is sold at Sephora, has a loose eye shadow for $11. This shadow has very high pigment and great staying power thanks to finely milled minerals that go on smoothly and stick to skin. However, it can be a bit messy as it is loose pigment.

Paint your lids then paint the town, don’t forget to bat your lashes at a few boys along the way.

Muuah,
Amy
