How to Get the Jerseylicious ‘Smokey Eye’ Jerseylicious has given us a few different styles over the years, with the team from the Gatsby Salon emphasizing big hair and big makeup. The ‘smokey eye’ has been one of the more popular looks to come out of the show, and is all about personality and plenty of volume. Smokey eyes can be created using a combination of mascara, eyeliner, and generous amounts of eyeshadow. If you want to create the look for yourself, what are some of the best ways in which you can go about it? First Steps You should try to start with your eye makeup first, as this will prevent any problems developing with your foundation. A good, clear base and primer is important if you want to make it easier to apply eyeshadow without causing a lot of smudging, at least at first. You can then apply eyeshadow to your lid, making sure that you don’t go too far past the crease. For the wing effect used in the smokey eye on Jerseylicious, be prepared for a bit of pr...

New Maybelline Colossal Kajal (12 hours formula) I reviewed the original Maybelline New York Colossal Kajal a while back HERE and also posted a video of its smudge test too.

Lets check it out below: Price: INR 175/- My experience with this kajal: The kajal comes in same packaging the way it used to come earlier. The yellow colored pencil with a twist up kajal inside makes it easy to apply without bothering to sharpen it every time. The kajal is intense black and gives gorgeous, smoldering black color in one swipe. It sets within seconds of application and doesn't smudge or budge at all. For testing the effectiveness of this kajal I wore it for 6-8 hours and in whole span I even washed my face many times with cold water. I quite liked the way this kajal stayed put without creating any mess around...

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Les Ombres (Eyeshadow Quad) E6 - Eau De Rose My experience with this quad If you love neutral smokey eyes with a hint of pink in it, then this can be a perfect buy for you. I got it with a shade shattered, however it has been ok and usable to me so far. I just need to be careful to keep the quad in one position always. The shades are well built to compliment each other and give a soft smokey look which can be intensified as per the need. All the shades have shimmery-shiny finish without glitter, to make your eyes dazzle and sparkle in any day-time or night time makeup look. The shades give smooth finish, have super soft texture that makes the application a breeze, and these are decently pigmented as well. Let us get to the each shade now: The top most shade is a champagne colored one that can be perfect for highlighting. I usually use it to highlight the areas under my eyebrows and inner eye corners. It helps in giving eyes a lift and avoids ...
