C-THRU MY EYES

I’ve made several posts about Troy Jensen because he is one of my favorite makeup artists (& not just because he makes Kim Kardashian look even more flawless). Jensen uses an array of cosmetics to transform people’s faces as he continues to reinvent makeup & create a variety of looks. I value that in his work because it’s easy to get sucked into doing the same old same old makeup. I aspire to be an artist of his talent one day as I continue to expand my makeup horizons.

Kudos to you Mr. Jensen…

Here is some of Mr. Jensen’s latest work posted on his website – check out how he created the looks here. This season is about fun flirty lashes & a pastel palette on the face. I’ll definitely be trying both of those trends out!

Rachel McAdams has been doing a lot of promo for the film Sherlock Holmes and she’s looked great while doing it. Here’s a picture of her in a festive holiday look that Troy Jensen did… check out his site for his step by step on how he achieved this look. I love the silvery lids & cranberry red lip.

I think she looks absolutely amazing – Rachel is one of my favorite actresses. Of course this happened after The Notebook .. my all time favorite movie.

MAC Products I used...

This fall the runway is full of neon colors, from Michael Kors to Versace and Marc Jacobs show. If you want to invest in any of that clothing, that’s great! But there’s a way to capture the neon trend without spending as much money. Try splashing your lips with the beloved neon rainbow.

The picture above is what I used to get the fuchsia lips in my picture below.









1. Put a light layer of foundation on lips & finish with powder to start with a blank canvas
2. Line lips with liner – I used a MAC Lip Pencil in Magenta $13
3. Fill in lips with the same pencil – will make lipstick last longer
4. I used MAC Lipstick in Girl About Town $14 straight from the tube – but you can use a lip brush
5. I outlined my lips again with the lip liner & made sure I cleaned up the edges
6. Topped with my MAC Lipgelee in Cellopink $14 – this just adds shine & more color. This color was a limited edition

Check out some pics & a NARS Lipstick $24 that Troy Jensen used on Kim Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian for YRB Magazine

Recently Kim Kardashian did a photo shoot for YRB Magazine.

This look is so different for her, from the pale skin to extreme eye makeup & black lips. Troy Jensen did her makeup for this…make sure you check out the post I did about him before – amazing makeup artist.

Introducing…

Beauty Blender & Cleanser $39.95

The Beauty Blender!!

I first saw this on Kim Kardashian’s blog when Troy Jensen was using it on her. I definitely am going to order this from Sephora (I don’t think it’s available in stores yet).

This sponge is non-disposable so you can use it over & over again – you buy a cleanser with it. It’s said to give you flawless application & I believe it, but I’ll try it out to make sure & report back ASAP!



Right now I either use disposal sponges to put on my foundation or my foundation brush from MAC - but I want to try the Beauty Blender!

Secret trick: I always go into Sephora & take their sponges they have available to use for instore makeup application – it’s nice & free & legal

I know you guys are probably tired of Kim Kardashian, however her makeup ALWAYS looks sooo amazing so here’s an example. Her skin is flawless (help of airbrushed makeup and Photoshop of course)
