Jenny McCarthy is in the house

Jenny McCarthy is the latest celebrity to give the Get in Line Eyeliner and Stencil kit the thumbs up. Jenny is working on a new project that one of my dear friends was called to work on last week in Los Angeles.  It’s very hush hush but I hear that it’s fantastic and that Jenny was an absolute doll throughout the day.

When shooting was over he stopped by her dressing room and handed her a Get in Line kit. She was so touched and very excited to try the stencils having read about them recently in the Pasadena Star News.  She’s a big fan of the cat eye and before he left she had already done a perfect set.

Now that’s what I call a real pro!

Rock on Jenny!!

Blake Lively from Gossip Girl has been getting quite a lot of attention lately. Seen here looking very glamourous and giving us a new and softer twist on the oh so famous smoky eye. To get this look Beth suggests starting with the eyes first and then finishing with foundation and lips.

Start by using two eye shadows together and then applying to the eye. Beth suggests a soft lavender and medium purple. Sweep the color over the eye lid using an eyeshadow brush. Try Love candy and Goddess Eye Dust both from beth bender beauty. Create the perfect smoky eye using the Get in Line smoky eye kit. Once you have the perfect shape make sure to blend well and extend the color slightly above the crease as seen here on Blake.

Use your bottom eyeliner stencil to line underneath each eye and soften the line with the fuller end of brush. For a sultry look finish by lining as close to the lash line top and bottom with a plum eyeliner pencil. Try 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in 1999 from Urban Decay. Finish with two coats of mascara. Try Fiberwig mascara available at Sephora and sephora online.

Once you have the eyes done move to the face. Apply a sheer foundation using a sponge for medium to full coverage and a brush for lighter coverage. Beth suggests either a tinted moisturizer or a light weight foundation depending on your preference. Try Light Canvas Healthy Fluid Foundation from Vincent Longo.

Apply just a touch of blush to the apple of cheeks using a fluffy blush brush, making sure not to over do it. Try Baby Powder Blush from beth bender beauty. A soft pink lip color applied with a lip brush. If you line your lips make sure to do first before applying lip color. Try Mitzi Lip Color from Nars.

Calvin Klein make up is back and better then ever. I was a fan when his first beauty line launched in the late 90′s. This was years before I started Beth Bender Beauty and created the Get in Line eyeliner kit. I fell in love with his eye pencils and still have three of them that I still use on jobs. They are fantastic and I am hoping that the new ones will be just as good. His eye shadows were also fabulous and I hope those haven’t changed either. The packaging has but it looks like for the better because that was one of the flaws in the first line.

The new beauty line is quite large and includes everything for faces, lips, eyes and nails. The new line was developed by the ck Calvin Klein team, including Mark Carrasquillo, the company’s newly named Global Makeup Artist, and Kevin Carrigan, Creative Director of ck Calvin Klein beauty and apparel.

The full line is not yet available in the states except for the glosses which are available at sephora. This is such a drag because there are so many women who would love to check it out. If you happen to make it as far as Hong Kong you might want grab a few eyeliners and eye shadows.

Get ready for glamourous eyes!

Has anyone crossed paths with this fabulous new mascara from Imju Fiberwig of Japan. It’s called Fiberwig and is new at Sephora. It has been blowing out of every door. It’s the top selling mascara in Japan giving lashes “false eyelash look” results.

I was lucky enough to grab one of the last tubes over the weekend and let me tell you I could not believe how amazing my lashes looked.  Fiberwig imparts a perfect, smudge-proof maximum lash extension effect. It comes off with warm water and doesn’t damage your natural lashes. Best of all it’s resistant to tears, sweat and oil.

A tube of Fiberwig will cost you $22.00 but it is totally worth every penny. You can purchase online at Sephora or stop by any Sephora location.

Tell us what you think..

I do love Carmen Electra. I usually love the way she looks but I have to agree with Christina from ebeautydaily.  I am not sure that this is the shot that Max factor should be using to promote their”how to get Carmen’s red carpet couture look”.

Pat McGrath is probably one of the most recognized artists along with Dick Page and Tom Pecheux but what goes on with this look? Her teeth are so over the top not to mention how overly photoshoped her complexion is.

My favorite Carmen look is hair down, loose waves and definitely less of the eye make up as seen here.

agree or disagree?

I spy beth bender beauty

Did anyone happen to catch Britney sporting a new British accent last week while shopping with her already over with close friend Adnan Ghalib? What was that all about? Poor thing. Seen… shopping for a new top and came out wearing one of Betsey Johnson’s cute sweaters. I have two myself, they are so darling.

Did anyone happen to see her whip out her Ooh baby Lip gloss to touch up her lips? That color went perfectly with her new sweater. Even with all of the turmoil that follows her she still manages to find time to give her lips some loving. We do love you Britney.

Seen…Mischa Barton at L.A. nightclub Teddy’s earlier this month. Our beauty spy’s tell us she spent more than a few minutes checking out her eyeliner and adding some Onyx Gel liner to her already lined eyes.

Seen…Amy Winehouse who is still mad for the Get in Line Eyeliner Kit and made a point of telling my friend Carla who is a celebrity artist in The UK and was using hers on a shoot recently. Has anyone seen Amy’s new Blonde do? Gone are the trademark bee hive and long tresses. I think I prefer the darker shade but this may grow on me eventually.

Seen…The always beautiful Scarlett Johansson and beau Ryan Reynolds having dinner in Los Angeles. Our beauty spy’s tell us she excused herself to the ladies room and touched up her lips with some Chasing the Cash Lip color. Our reps tell us she loves the color so much she orders six at a time.

Love Angelina Jolie? You bet we do! Her style is her own and she wears it so well. Her signature Cat eye has become a staple in her beauty regime and you can’t help but want those cat eyes.

To create Angelina’s sexy cat eyes Beth suggests using The Get in Line Stencil Kit for absolutely perfect cat eyes. You decide how thick or thin. It gives you a perfect point and line and takes seconds to do.

For a soft lip color to compliment your sexy cat eyes, try Chasing the cash Liquid Lip color, a fav of Angelina’s.
