I am fair-skinned, blue-eyed and a blonde, which is about as far from emulating the Kim Kardashian look as you can get. Although my look suits me just fine, there are times when I am trying to keep up — not with the Kardashian clan — with Kim’s makeup looks.
How does Kim wear so much eye makeup and not seem to be in pain? Not a grimace, nothing watering, no redness… It appears that she does have talent after all!
It is no secret that I have the world’s most sensitive …

Makeup Trends/Swatches 2013: The Best Orange, Coral, Red & Tangerine Lipstick, Gloss Shades For Every Skintone – Old Hollywood Inspired

I have always been obsessed with the ‘50s and ‘60s glamour icons Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly…The list goes on and on. I never quite felt comfortable with bright red lips.

Dorothy Dandridge

Grace Kelly

Marilyn Monroe
I’ve compiled a list of the ultimate glamazon-inspired lip shades! These shades range from the palest …

The idea of sharing makeup brushes slightly grossed me out. After all, I had read …
