Nyx Professional Makeup at Whitney Port's Fashion Show!

Makeup artist Tina Turnbow used Nyx Professional Makeup to create makeup looks for Whitney Port’s new clothing line, Whitney Eve, giving the models a playful, “Alice in Wonderland”-inspired look as they walked down the runway.

 

Here’s how you can get the look:

Doll Play: Big lashes are the look for Spring. Tina used Nyx Professional Makeup’s Doll Eye Mascara in Volume to create, big open eyes. For extra definition, the model’s eyes were lined with Nyx Professional Makeup’s Felt Tip Eyeliner in Black, with a sexy cat-eye swoop.

Candy-Colored Eyes: For eyes that popped on the runway, Tina created a colorful, fresh look using Nyx Professional Makeup’s Single Eyeshadows in three steps:

1)    Eyelid – Sweep the White Pearl shadow up to the crease to make eyes pop

2)    Crease – Use the Golden shade to highlight and add shimmer

3)    Contour – Add definition above the crease to the brow bone with shadow in Burgundy Pearl

Get Cheeky:  For a youthful, flushed pink cheek, Tina mixed Nyx Professional Makeup’s Rouge Cream Blush in Glow and Hot Pink to apples and contours of the cheek.

Bright Lips: To set off the playful look, Tina selected Nyx Professional Makeup’s Black Label Lipstick in Volcano – a bright, sunny coral shade.

 

A Look Back in Time: Benefit Erase Paste.

Last year on this date, I featured the wonder dark circle concealer from Benefit, Erase Paste. It is especially appropritae as I have been using it to cover up some definite under-eye drama this week.

Take a look:

I have so many concealers that I assign to different parts of my face, at different times of the year, and for different occasions. I have learned to fit Benefit's Erase Paste into the rotation when I need to cover really dark undereye circles. This beauty makes them disappear while lightening and brightening up the whole area.

 

I am not sure where my little spatula disappeared to because I have got myself digging out the "paste" with the end of a concealer brush. I then flip the brush to spread it - even though it is easily spreadable with a finger.

Unlike a conventional, thinner concealer made to be lighter than your skin tone, Erase Paste is thicker to stay where you spread it. It is also pink based, making it appear more natural and a bit highlighter, thus diverting more attention away from the flaw. I am using medium right now, but will surely try it out in fair for the non-tanned months. There is also a deep shade available, for darker complexions.
