Liners, shadows, and mascaras can end up looking like a hot (smudged) mess at the end of the day if you don’t use a good primer. Keep your eye makeup on with these reader faves. If you’re like most of us, you may be guilty of getting ahead of yourself sometimes. You get home from a first date and spend the rest of the night imagining your wedding day and the number of kids you’ll have. You start thinking about a baby room, browsing Home Depot for the perfect duck wallpaper before there’s even a chance of you being pregnant. And you meticulously layer on eyeshadows, liners, and mascara before priming. We know — we’re guilty of these jump-the-gun habits too.

FOTD: Metallic Eye With Shimmery Cheek by NARS National Artist Austin Mark

To make sure I look fabulous for the NARS Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself Book Signing Event, NARS National Artist Austin Mark gave me a golden brown metallic eye paired with a shimmery cheek and neutral lip. Read on for a step-by-step breakdown!

NARS makeover by National Artist Austin Mark
Metallic gold eye makeup with contoured cheeks

Face
Austin started off with my skin. He mixed my favorite Sheer Glow Foundation with Brightening Serum on the back of his hand before applying onto the skin in a dabbing motion. To bring out my cheekbones, he applied a generous amount of Copacabana Illuminator and blended it up towards my temples. Next, he dabbed The Multiple in Riveria directly on my cheeks before blending it out with a brush. To finish, he added a dusting of Highlighting Blush Power in New Order right on top of the cheekbones to really make them pop.

Eyes
When I told Austin about the dramatic smoky eye I got during my makeover with NARS National Artist Francine Phillips, he decided to give me a bit more color on the eyes. He started by applying Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base all over my eyelid and brows. Then, he filled in my eyebrows with Single Eyeshadow in Bali using short, feathery strokes. Next, he dabbed Cream Eyeshadow in El Dorado onto my browbone and crease as a base. Using a brush, he applied the left side of Duo Eyeshadow in Kuala Lumpur onto the eyelid and the right side of Kuala Lumpur onto the crease. After blending everything, he added Single Eyeshadow in Galapagos on the upper outer V and lower lashline to smoke out the look. Since I’m already wearing my favorite Makeup For Life Lashes in #Sweet Sixteen on the outer corner of the eye, Austin only added a coat of Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara before drawing a thin line along my upper lashes with Eyeliner Stylo in Nuits Blanches.

Lips
To balance out the strong eye makeup, Austin wanted to keep my lips simple. He outlined my lips with Lipliner Pencil in Borneo to give them a bit of definition then added Lip Gloss in Ophelia all over. The final step was a dab of Lipgloss in Moon Fleet on the center of the lips for a highlighting effect.

Extra Beauty Tips From Austin

* To create the ultimate dewy look, mix your liquid foundation with NARS Brightening Serum.

* For brow color that looks natural yet lasts, forget the pencil and apply NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base onto the eyebrows before filling them in with a powder.

* Since your bone structure can feel different when your eyes are closed, the best way to locate your crease is to put your brush directly into your socket with your eyes open.

Thank you Austin for creating this super cool look on me! Remember Check back for pictures of what I picked up!

How Oil Wrestling Can Change Your Complexion

Post image for How Oil Wrestling Can Change Your Complexion

Elisa inquires…I’ve been using facial cleanser for years and it seems to be removing my makeup & getting my face clean. However, I’ve been hearing a lot about cleansing oil and the claims that it cleans your face better, but my problem is that you still have to use some kind of soap or water-compatible cleanser afterward to get rid of the oil. I know there might be something to this since I’ve also used cold cream for years as an eye makeup remover before I wash, but I’m a bit skeptical.

The Right Brain Replies:
In case you didn’t know, we have written about this question before. (Click here to read our original post on the Oil Cleansing Method. ) Many women do use a mixture of clean oils (usually olive and castor oil) to remove dirty oil from their skin. This makes sense when you consider the gunk you’re trying to remove from your face is, to a large extent, oil soluble.

The trick is how to remove the oil residue that’s left over after the process. The most common practice is to simply wipe it off with a clean cloth. This process does leave a small amount of oil behind on your skin, which is fine if your skin is dry and you need to moisturize. What you don’t want to do it wash with soap or cleansers afterwards because this defeats the purpose. If your face feels so greasy that you’re compelled to wash it, then this method may not be for you.

Have you tried cleaning your face with oil? Leave a comment and share your experiences with the rest of the Beauty Brains community.
