Create High-Impact Looks and Give Your Eyes A Pop!

Posted by The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. on 31st March 2010

After years of telling us to blend shadow into our creases to give eyes depth and definition, makeup artists are tweaking their advice: “Sweep shadow along the lower part of the brow bone, just above the crease, and you’ll get a deeper, more dramatic look,” says pro Beth Bender. This is especially great for those whose eyes are not as deep set, says Bender. To do, use either a medium eyeshadow brush, or blender brush and mimicking a windshield wipers back and forth motion, go from the outer eye to the inner eye without lifting the brush from brow.

Tired of the same old routine in your boudoir…need to mix it up a bit???  Then check out Scandle Body Candles that burn 2 degrees above body temperature to produce a soothing & healthy body oil.  What a great way to add a little heat to an already hot flame...

Dakota Fanning’s All Grown Up And Wearing Cat Eyeliner

Posted by The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. on 30th March 2010

While promoting her newest flick, The Runaways, Dakota Fanning sported sexy Cat Eyes, and for a moment we actually forgot how young she still is. With just a sweep of thick top cat eyeliner, Dakota Fanning revitalized a classic look for spring, and made it her own. Pairing it with glossy peach lips, and only a touch of peach blush, she was fresh, and youthful without looking overdone. If you’ve had the urge to play with a shadow, or gel liner and try something different for spring, this is your cue.

Get Dakota Fanning's perfect eyeliner

To get Dakota’s eyeliner, or a tight line around the eyes, try beth bender beauty’s Get in Line Eyeliner Kit and stencils to create any of these looks with ease. Create any thickness your desire just by placing the stencil above or below the lashline.  If you prefer a liner that stays put, you can go over your eyeshadow with a gel liner as seen here on Dakota. Check out the BFF Eyeliner Kit and Onyx Stay Put Gel Liner, both from beth bender beauty.

How To Wear Shiny Coppery Shadows

Posted by The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. on 30th March 2010

Go for the gold ladies…or perhaps bronze or copper! It’s all about dazzling earth tone metallics, like those on Charlize Theron. Her dreamy coppery eyes walked the red carpet at this years 24th Annual American Cinematheque Award Presentation in Beverly Hills, and it was hard not to notice how hot she looked. To get the look, choose a shade or eyeshadow palette that’s not too rusty, and with a slightly dampened eyeshadow brush dab the color along your lashline. Make sure to pay attention around the inner corners.

Get Charlize Theron's smoky eyes

Using a slightly fuller brush, or blender brush, sweep the same color in the crease and underneath the eyes as well. Finish with a touch of gold shimmer shadow on the inner eye area. Try a Dark Brown Gel Eyeliner instead of Black, and apply along the upper and lower lashlines. For a softer look smudge the gel liner with a Q-tip before it sets.

To create the look try the SGB Kit in Golden Beige, Golden Tan, and Deep Bronze. The colors are creamy, and easy to apply.

How Former Brady Bunch Star Keeps Her Weight Down

Posted by The Bender Sisters on 30th March 2010

Maureen McCormick, aka Marsha Brady, from the 70′s hit series The Brady Bunch, speaks out to BSW about her constant battle to keep her weight down.  Her appearance on Celebrity Fit Club helped her lose weight but then she gained it right back plus more…

Maureen has always been open with the public about her weight and other issues.  In 2007 she appeared on Celebrity Fit Club at 154 lbs. and after dropping 38 lbs., won the competition.  Unfortunately, she started packing on the pounds immediately after and her weight went up to 161 lbs.  Maureen was determined to get it off and keep it off…For the past 9 months she has been vigorously working with trainer Juliet Kaska to get back to 125 lbs. for her 5’3″ frame. 

“Once she was able to eat in moderation, it all clicked for her,” she told BSW. Gone are the days of starving herself in order to lose weight.  Chocolate cake is no longer her enemy…and her hour long walks in the morning keep her on track.  At 53, McCormick is proud to wear her skinny jeans...

Maureen McCormick now at 125 lbs.

She looks great and is an inspiration to all struggling with their weight and eating habits.  So, in the words of our mother, “anything in moderation, isn’t going to hurt you!” Glad to know Maureen finally got that memo…

Posted by Te-see on 29th March 2010

It’s hard to believe that 1 year has already passed since the tragic death of beloved wife, mother, daughter and Tony Award winning actress, Natasha Richardson.  Imagine being on holiday with your family and it ends in such a unfathomable way.  If only we could turn back the…Unfortunately, “if onlys” are just that…

Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson

While vacationing at The Mont Tremblant Resort ski resort in Quebec, Canada, Natasha a novice skier, fell and hit the side of her head.  Paramedics arrived on the scene and took her to the infirmary where Natasha did not want to stay and signed all wavers to be released.  She walked back to her room with her ski instructor and about 1 1/2 hour later a second ambulance showed up after a phone call was made.  She was immediately taken to the hematology department at the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe.  According to medical examiners, Natasha died from an epidural hematoma caused by a blunt impact to the head.

Cut to present day…Liam with sons Michael, 14, and Daniel, 13, are trying to move on with their lives since that is what Natasha would want.  So, Liam has been keeping busy shooting several movies and making sure the boys are with him on set.  When he is not working they hang out at sporting events.  Their main residence is in Manhattan, and according to BSW’s inside sources, Natasha’s office goes untouched…Liam has kept everything the same…

Liam’s strong and courageous attributes have kept this broken hearted man from falling to pieces.  His mother in law, actress Vanessa Redgrave, and sister in-law, Joely Richardson, have been a constant force in the boys lives.  Natasha will live on in her films but her true legacy are her sons…

Get Nicole Richie’s Navy Smoky Eyes For Spring

Posted by The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. on 26th March 2010

Navy eyeshadow is taking a front seat this spring, and Nicole Richie shows us just how fabulous it looks with the season’s newest take on the smoky eye. More flattering than black and more sultry than using a lighter shade. But really, does anyone ever tire of seeing another gorgeous smoky eye?? I know I don’t, but I am slightly obsessed, and every time I see another great look, I can’t resist trying to duplicate it on myself. Smoky eyes will once again be strong this spring, and with so many options available, creating them will be easier than ever.

With movies like The Runaway’s, it will be hard not to try your hand at creating your own sultry smoky eyes, and with so many different color combination’s it will be easier than ever. To create Nicole’s look, start by sweeping a berry or plum shimmer shadow in the crease. Next with a silver shadow apply to the eyelid and blend into the berry shadow so it looks like a wash of color. Mix a deep blue and berry shimmer together, and sweep color underneath the eyes.

For a more dramatic look you can extend the color the length of your brow as seen here. As always Nicole finishes her eyes with her signature Cat Eyes. Use a Cat Eyeliner Stencil for the perfect application, and set with a black gel liner. Mascara is a must for any smoky eye, and a rich black or deep navy color will do just fine.
