temptalia's eye diagram

Brow Bone/Highlight: Generally, a lighter color will be applied to this area; it may be something that has undertones of bolder colors used on the lid, or it may simply be similar to your skintone. For example, say I do a predominantly green look, I might turn to MAC’s Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow as a highlight color because it will bring out the greens and still allow the color to taper off. Some of my favorite highlight colors are Ricepaper and Shroom.

Above Crease: This is my “blend out” area. There is strong color on the lid and the crease many times, and that strong color needs to be diffused as it moves it way upwards towards the brow. The best way to think about it is as a gradient, going from dark to light, starting on the lid moving towards the brow. Sometimes I use a lighter color than the one I used on my lid to help fade the color upwards, other times I may use the same color I chose for a highlight.

Outer Crease: Luckily my eye was lookin’ a bit tired, because you can really make out the “crease,” which is that fold of skin/wrinkle-like detail you can see. It extends from the beginning of your eye (inside) to the end of your eye (the outside). Most often I deposit color in the outer crease, but sometimes I do bring it inward a touch, more to the “middle” of the crease. I rarely go for darkening the entire length of my crease. A great universal crease color is Carbon, if used lightly, it can darken any look instantly. Soft Brown is also a nice, subtler shade.

Inner Lid: I mentally slice my eyelid into three parts–basically into thirds. There is the inner, middle, and outer thirds. In many looks you will see, a lighter color is put on the inner lid relative to the rest of the colors found on the lid.

Middle of Lid: This is the middle third of the eyelid, and since I typically do similar styles in my looks, this is where a “medium” color in terms of darkness would go. Light, medium, dark is a good way to think of how I deposit and choose what colors go where on the lid. On occasion, I might go medium, light, dark, but not nearly as frequently as I do the former.

Outer Lid: This is the outer third of the eyelid, and this is usually where I put the darkest lid color. Sometimes I will darken the very outermost portion of it (say you split the outer lid third into half, so then it’d be the outer half or the outer sixth of the entire lid) with the same color I would put in my crease.

Upper Lash Line: It is not explicitly labeled in this diagram, but it is where your upper lashes (generally the longest ones, the ones that come from your eyelid) meet your eyelid. This is the actual upper lash line. When lining the upper lash line, many create thicker lines than the natural upper lash line, but the concept is still there.

Upper Waterline: The upper waterline is also not explicitly labeled, but it can be found directly underneath your upper lashes. If you looked up, you would see a tiny bit of space, much like your lower line, and some people line this as well. It is called tightlining, for your reference.

Lower Waterline: The lower waterline is sometimes called the lower rim, because it is essentially the bottom rim of your eye. There are dozens of people who cannot put product on their waterline due to sensitivity, and many others who struggle to find a product that does not fade or dissolve because of the waterline (and the fact that it is…watery!). For those looking for longer lasting products, I know many use gel liners, fluidliners, and some even use liquidlast liners.

Inner Lower Lash Line: Not everyone likes to put color on the lower lash line, which is space directly below the lower waterline. Some prefer just a thin line of eyeliner that expands across both the inner and outer lower lash lines. I often use the 219 brush to apply pops of color; usually, a lighter color that is similar to the colors used on the lids is applied to the inner lower lash line.

Outer Lower Lash Line: Similarly to the inner lower lash line, I again apply a thin line of color using the 219 to the outer lower lash line. There are times where I might even split the lower lash line into thirds, and it just means that there is a middle part of the lower lash line for application. When it comes to smoky eyes, to “smoke out” the look, one applies a darker color to the outer lower lash line or goes for thicker eyeliner and smudges it out around the outer lower lash line.

Upper Lashes: They are not labeled, but I do hope that the majority know where to find these (though explained earlier!). Most makeup users will apply at least one coat of mascara in either brown or black. Brown mascara is more natural and less dramatic, while black can still be natural, but too many coats or using an amplifing mascara will give you dramatic lashes (but hey, I always want these, so there’s no shame in never going au natural on the lashes!). I look up and bring the wand closest to the roots of the lashes and comb it upwards. Sometimes I wiggle, sometimes I turn the brush as I move upwards – it just depends on the mascara.

Lower Lashes: These are the shorter lashes found beneath your eyeball. I always like to give them a quick coat of mascara after I finish doing my upper lashes, because then they’re blacker and stand out a touch. The best way I’ve found to apply mascara to the lower lashes is to use a mascara wand that is not huge and burly – it is a small space, and why do you want to get mascara all over your face? Since I do not even need a super duper mascara, I may use a lesser, but still black, mascara to coat them. Look up and lightly tap the mascara wand to the lashes. I usually just move the wand from side to side, rather than up and down like my upper lashes because I find it coats them to deepen color, slightly lengthen, and that’s all I need.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!

Did anyone see the the Rihanna interview? I did and let me tell you this girl has a lot of soul coming out into the open about what happened to her! Well of course we know this is because her album drops in a few days and she needs the publicity but what she went thru was serious. None of us were there when it happened but from what she has said I can tell that the situation was not that serious for him to put his hands on her the way he did. And the most sad part is that it wasnt the first time he ever did it according to her its was the 8-9th time. So why did she stay, me coming from a family where the women have been abused by there significant other I believe she stayed one because of blinded love, sometimes woman think because a man is jealous or abusive that's a way of showing love well not exactly! two because she was probably scared of him three she didn't want to see him with no one but her and three because she didn't want the stuff she was going thru to get out in the open. Whatever the case was she learned her lesson in a harsh and mean way! No woman ever should be treated the way she was. I know they're a few girls that are going thru the same thing and let me tell you its never too late to get out and its better to get out now then wait for it to escalate to something worse. In this case the relationship was an obsession they had with each other to some other girls the case might not be the same. I find it hard to believe that sometimes woman stay out of fear from a threat the guy has said to them! You can get help!!!! Don't ever think this is the last person you will ever be with there is someone for everyone. Sometimes its not always physical abuse, it can be emotional abuse this is just as bad I know woman who have gone thru emotional abuse and their self esteem is soooo low! How can you let someone else change the way you feel about yourself you should love yourself no matter who or what has anything to say about you! I've been thru things in my life that no one can imagine and I see myself now at 25 so secure and confident about myself that nothing or no one can take the high I have on life I have always been like that. I know when to put my guard up and when to let it down. I would never ever let a man disrespect me in anyway.

Unfortunately some domestic violence ends up in death, get out of it while you can don't let it be tooooo late!

Okay and now to the bubble nails! Im not sure how I feel about these! Ive always been one to have fake nails on since I was in the 6th grade non-stop till last august when I decided after my wedding to let them breath. I got married in Puerto Rico and was there for 2 weeks and the water damaged my pink and whites really bad so I decided to give them a break and thats when I started to experiment with nail polishes! But I dont think this bubble nail is something I would do only because I have chubby little hands and will make my fingers look ridiculous but NEVER say NEVER im always down to try something new!

LADY GAGA AND CYNDI LAUPER

I can finally talk about this I knew from a MAC insider about these 2 girls being the next 2 faces for the MAC viva glam collection for about 2 months but I couldnt say anything but now that its in the open here is goes.

RANDOM MAKEUP PICS THAT I AM TEMPTED 2 TRY!

perfecting a cat eye by mario

Here's how you should do it. Look into a mirror and tilt your head up a bit so that the lashline (where liner will go) isn't touching the crease of the eye. Gently stretch your eye outward to prevent blinking. Start lining the outer corner first, going towards the inner corner. Make sure that the line gets thinner towards the inner corners. Now go back to the outter corner and wing the liner out and up a bit for the cat eye effect. If you mess up, wipe the corners with a Q-tip and try again.

glowy cheeks by mario

Want gorgeous, glowy cheekbones? Blend a bit of L’Oreal’s HiP Illuminating Highlighter in Twinkling onto your cheekbones. Use the darker shade to acheive a bronzy glow, or mix the two.
