There is only one day a year where we get to celebrate our life on earth and Te-see calls it her “all about me day,” aka, her birthday. The one day she claims her kids come second!!! Yeah, right! Friday night, April 16, 2010, Beauty Style Watch and their fabulous friends headed over to Lucy’s 51 in Toluca Lake their favorite watering hole.

Te-see, (bsw editor and vp of marketing) had a fun filled evening with friends drinking delicious peach martinis and eating sweet potato fries and spinach dip. “It’s been a hell of a ride, Te-see told local reporters from the LA Times. But Beth and I have worked very hard the past year and a half to get our site where it is today. We started back in December 2008 with only 2,000 hits a month and now we are up to 1 million plus a month.” So, I guess you could say Te-see had a lot to celebrate.
Te-see, Debe, Beth
Te-see looked lovely in her purple top from H&M and her Paige Jeans. To get Te-see’s look, her sister Beth used the dark amber color from her SGB Kit to rim her entire eye then applied black shadow from her original kit on Te-see’s lash line. Beth followed with 2 coats of Jane Iredale’s mascara, and Oxygenetix foundation for a smooth and flawless finish.
What an incredible night for Te-see. She was surrounded by people she loves. According to Te-see, “life couldn’t get any better!”

I can’t think of a better way to raise money for a National Women’s History Museum in Washington, D.C., then listening to some of the major icons in music at New York City’s Center. On April 12, Brooke Shields & Meryl Streep hosted the 125th anniversary of Good House Keeping Magazine by saluting influential and inspirational women in America.

There was a room filled with “girl power” that night says our BSW NYC reporter. “It was so amazing to be in the company of influential women like Meryl Streep, Marlee Matlin, Brooke Shields, Fran Drescher, Kristen Bell, Laura Benanti, and Hilary Duff. The high point of the evening…Aretha Franklin!” WOW.

These women were all decked out in the latest fashions with hair and make up looking clean and fresh. Easy to achieve with a good mascara, foundation, and black eyeliner…and let’s not forget a good gloss!
This event raised millions of dollars for such a great cause…It’s important for young girls of today to know that women are powerful and capable of anything! BSW can’t wait for the National Women’s History Museum to be built! It’s amazing how little is out there about women’s history…It’s about time, don’t ya think…

The former Miss USA, actress, TV personality, and gorgeous mother of 3, Shanna Moakler, has just launched a new cosmetic line called Smoak which is smokin’…She created the line with the assistance of her personal makeup artist Daniel McFadden.
Shanna Moakler's Smoak Makeup Line
Her launch party was held just the other day at Cafe Wes in Hollywood. A fabulous & quaint little French Bistro on Vine Street with Brett Young singing live and press flashing away. Her makeup line ranges from shadows, lip plumpers, face & eye primers to sinfully soft brushes made of goat hair. There are no chemicals, dyes, artificial fillers, preservatives or synthetic ingredients. Smoak is fragrance free, oil free, and used no animal testing in the creation of the line.

After touring the country and making appearances, Shanna realized the importance of having quality makeup and knowing how to use it. So, she put together a small cosmetic line that truly reflects what all women need. Krissy Gimenez photographed the “Smoak” line and her husband created the website. Ladies, it’s most definitely worth checking out! www.smoakshop.com

How to “get Shanna’s look” by celebrity makeup artist Daniel McFadden. Daniel started with an eye primer on Shanna’s sexy eyes and brought it up to her brow. With a fluff brush he applied a matte charcoal shadow to her lid and blended it to the crease. Then he used a shimmery silver over the charcoal to tie in her silver dress with a gray blue to define her crease and blended it with a frosty white up under her brow. He used his own black gel liner on the inside of Shanna’s lower eyelid & blended outside the lower lid with the same silver eye shadow from the upper lid. Followed by tons of individual medium size lashes with long lengths on the ends to create a cat eye. Daniel then filled her brows with a taupe shadow using an angle brush then coated them with his blonde brow fix to hold them in place. For foundation he used Bio-Fond by Gerda Spillmann. According to Elizabeth Taylor, it covers a multitude of sins! This cream is applied with a damp sponge. He used Limelight around the top of Shanna’s face to give a touch of color then blended Truffle around the lower half to blend into her neck shade. Daniel finished by sweeping a soft coat of loose powder over her entire face to seal the foundation. A little Pink Ice Blush over the apples of her cheeks then Shanna finished her own lips with SMOAK lip liner, lipstick & gloss.
For up close & personal assistance you can attend Daniel McFadden’s Master Class at Prive Salon Hollywood or LMG Studio in Beverly Hills. For more info visit Daniel McFadden.
In the words on Jim Carey…”I’m smokin…”

Glitter and shimmer have gotten a bad rap over the years way back when many disco- queens went a little overboard, but it can be completely glamorous when done right, and the best part…it takes seconds to do. Just look at Cameron Diaz who does shimmer right, and you can too. Lighter colors look best and you can use your fingers to apply, or a medium eyeshadow brush. Rub a champagne or warm gold shimmer shadow on your eyelids, and dab a little at your inner corners and on your brow bones. The color will catch the light and make your eyes sparkle. Oooh…..so pretty. Curl your lashes and apply a black mascara on the top and bottom and try to keep your lips on the lighter side. A pale pink or nude with a slight shimmer works best.
There are some nights when you have to have the drama, and a few coats of mascara just won’t do. That’s when it’s time to whip out the black shadow, a la Alicia Keys and give yourself a rockin’ cat eye. The quickest way to get them is by using a cat eye stencil. Just place the stencil over your eye and fill in with color. If you want a thicker line like Alicia move it up and fill in with more color. Once you’ve done both eyes which takes all of two minutes, you can use a black waterproof eyeliner and fill in the rim on the bottom of eyes.
A beautiful bronze color is up there with Manolo’s, and Jimmy Choo’s, everyone wants the sun-kissed look and it’s nice to know you don’t have to be a self-tanner whiz to get it. To get a sexy sun-kissed complexion like Jessica Biel’s, apply an oil-free tinted moisturizer that is a few shades deeper than your natural skin tone. This will add warmth without looking overdone because of its sheer consistancy. Then to finish use a bronzer stick or powder to add more color to the bridge of your nose, chin and your cheekbones. Sweep a touch of peach blush on the apples of cheeks, and dab some shimmer at the inner corners of your eyes. A concealer brush works great for this. Guess what?…You’re red carpet ready.
It’s pretty much a proven fact in Hollywood that gorgeous waves help keep you off the “Worst Dressed” list. I guess the critics are just crazy for the waves. Eva Longoria doesn’t mess around when it comes to her mane, and she always looks beautiful on the red carpet. To get loose curls like Eva’s, rub a bit of mousse on damp hair and blow dry with a round brush. Once the hair is dry, wrap one section at a time around a two-inch curling iron. The best way to do this is by wrapping the hair around the outside of barrel and not underneath the clamp the way you usually would. Then, separate and lift the curls while misting on a light-hold finishing spray.
Carrie Underwood likes to do up her eyes country style, and so far we have loved every smoky eye and cat eye we have seen. She also has a makeup artist who knows that neutral-but-pretty makeup doesn’t compete for camera attention and it makes all skin tones look more vibrant. Sexy smoky eyes like Carrie’s need a blush in a peach shade swept over the apples of cheeks, and blended up towards the temples. The lips should be soft as well. Line and fill them in with a peachy-coral lip pencil and finish with shimmery gloss. You can dab some in the center of lips to add fullness to your mouth.
xx,
Beth & Te-see
