5 Wacky but Extremely Useful Beauty Tools!
Written by Juli What do window decorations, wrapping paper and NASA have to do with makeup and beauty? A lot more than I thought! Find out more in today’s great guest post from Juli. Great things have been achieved with the simplest of inventions. Like the wheel. Epistick Facial Hair Remover If I were the manufacturer, I’d have named it The EPICstick! To use the Epistick, grab it at both ends, and bend it into an inverted U-shape. The sensation is similar to threading, a little prickly, but oh-so-worth it. Having a face clear of obvious facial hair not only makes you look fresher and cleaner, it also allows for a smoother canvas for makeup application. Mascara Guard Ever done a fantastic rainbow eyeshadow look only to ruin it by accidentally getting mascara on your lids? But those sad times are a thing of the past ever since I got the Mascara Guard. Hair Fringe Velcro What do you use to pin up your hair when you apply makeup? Me? Double Eyelid Tape Grease Pencil as “Picker-Upper” for Nail Art
Trend: Rainbow Eyes
Love color? Why not go one step further like these gorgeous Beauties and create a rainbow on your eyelids. Whether you take it all the way up to your brows or just stick with liner, bright, colorful eyes are a great way to brighten up a drab outfit. Elin T. Elin creates a stunning rainbow that shows off her beautiful eyes. Veronica M. Veronica tones it down with a sweeping eye liner. Lauren S. Lauren creates a vivid, sunset toned rainbow on her eyes.

We get a lot of emails asking how to use brushes correctly so I hope this helps you out a little! A brow brush is designed to be stiff and angled for a reason. And we use the slanted edge to shade and the tip of the edge to outline. Last week we explored four different ways to wear Spring’s biggest Cobalt blue trend. This method has been around for centuries! A nod to the Uptown Girl, this look is very put together and polished. Highlighting Pencil — Try Too Faced Instant Attitude Highlighting Pencil.Taupe Pencil — I used Le Metier de Beaute Pencil in Champagne. Note: This is a really light nude lip so to keep it as chic as possible, add a hint of blush to the cheek so you don’t get washed out.

Our email box is literally flooded with requests for updos so here’s a fun one to get us all going! This is always a favorite for attending an event. This updo looks gorgeous on any hair color but particularly amazing with hilighted hair because it gives the hair lots of depth and dimension. Tools you’ll need: curling iron (to prep the hair with waves), sectioning clips, teasing comb or brush, clear elastic rubber band, bobby pins, light to medium holding hairspray (to mist over at the end).
