I love the look of shiny eyelids. It’s such a simple, yet highly effective way to makeup your eyes. Depending on how reflective you want your lids to look, use a salve like Eight Hour Cream, or for a high shine I use lip gloss.

Neither product requires a large amount to get the look. Using your ring finger tap a small amount of product onto bare eyelids. Remember it’s gloss–don’t expect it to stay put and not crease, but it’s all part of the look.

This was the largest fashion show in NY history. 171 looks and 150 precisely choreographed models. Gisele opened and Naomi closed along with a performance by Pharrell. The audience sat in a circular set up no more than two rows deep. The models paraded the latest Fall collections in and around the audience. This fashion extravaganza sets the tone for September 1oth’s official Fashion’s Night Out in NYC, encouraging New Yorkers to spend their money on fashion and stimulate the economy.

Jourdan was spotted at the age of 16, where many 16 year old British girls can be found — at discount fashion superstore Primark. A few years later and she’s gone from Primark shopper to British Fashion Council’s “Model of the Year” in 2008. Jourdan was also on the cover of Italian Vogue in July 2008 with the entire issue celebrating Black models. Her most recent cover was Teen Vogue’s November issue. There have been countless runways from Louis to Prada, and campaigns for Calvin Klein, YSL, and Topshop to name a few. Her feline features are truly captivating, it’s no wonder this girl is a star.

The eighties were about flash and cash in all aspects of life. This time around there isn’t as much cash so going extreme with make up is a less expensive alternative. There is a lot of precision required with these looks so when trying to achieve that Nicole Miller elongated blue eye, brushes are a must. Don’t even attempt the neon lip without a super sharp lip pencil to define the mouth. While overindulgence is the theme of the trend, no need to amp eyes, cheeks, and lips choose your favourite and let it stand out.
