CHANEL Celebrity Makeup Artist Kate Lee gives tips for her signature Smoky Eye:

“Start with the CHANEL Professional Eyeliner Duo. Draw along the lash line, bottom, top, or both depending on the desired effect, and blend out with either your finger or a brush.

Line the insides of the eye with a kohl pencil in a dark colour for intensity, or use one of my favorite tricks of late which is to use a light color or metallic eye pencil to make the eye pop.

Next, take a flat brush and gently layer on the darkest eyeshadow shade on the lash line and lid being careful not to go beyond the eyelid for an intense smoldering look.

Mascara is definitely optional as sometimes the smoky eye looks great with none at all! The most important tip I give, is to work on clean skin. Apply foundation last, as then you can make sure skin is clean and avoid any circles under the eye.”

Beyonce looks fabulous as usual on the cover of Marie Claire UK October 2008 Edition. Makes me want to buy a copy. I love Beyonce’s long layered hair parted in the middle, smokey eyes and nude lips. And, what do you think about Beyonce’s sexy open button shirt? Is it slinky or just too risky?

And here is another Beyonce photo in Marie Claire. Enjoy!

I recently had the chance to try out few products from the Avon Advance Techniques salon professional hair care collection and I would like to share with you my favorites.

I’m a big fanatic about getting my hair clean, not weighted down, and very soft and silky. And this how I got my hair clean and silky smooth using products from the Avon Advance Techniques collection.

First I clarified my hair with Avon Advance Techniques Purifying Treatment Shampoo from all the build up on my hair from the week, all the swimming, serums and hair sprays.

This shampoo by Avon does just what it promises, cleanse my hair and removes all buildup so my hair can finally breath. It made styling easier for me and added an amazing movement to it. It got rid of that sticky feeling hair, when you hair so weighted down you can’t even comb your hair nicely. I use my regular shampoo daily and incorporate Avon’s clarifying treatment into my hair care regimen once a week or whenever I feel my hair feels weighted down.  

Avon Advance Techniques Purifying Treatment Shampoo is a once a week treatment shampoo designed to remove residue and product build up releasing hair’s natural shine and movement. Here is a styling tip from Jaqui Monteiro, Avon’s Global Stylist Advisor: “If you have color treated hair it’s good to use Purifying Treatment Shampoo after swimming to quickly remove any chlorine, chemicals and/or salt that could cause dulling build-up.”
