Iman Talks Makeup With StyleList

Filed under: Interviews

iman

Iman. When we first got the chance to interview her, we were sure she would be cool (after all she is David Bowie's wife). But we had no idea what a wealth of information she would be on everything beauty and style. She even admitted to us that she uses concealer to hide "a multitude of sins." Plus she's super composed and she even threw in a few jokes for good measure. Who knew Iman, the supermodel of all supermodels, was so sweet, accessible, and funny, and has the same skin woes as us mere mortals?

Tip of the day: Shadow for your shape

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day

Did you know that most makeup tips try to work the eye into an almond shape? It's true. The shape is considered the most flattering and extremely exotic. However, the tips often don't take into consideration those with deep set, wide set, small eyes, round eyes, or heavily hooded eyes. And if you wear glasses? Puh-lease, you'll never find info for that! Except for here that is.

Hylexin: Reduce dark eye circles

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Product Reviews


Hylexin is an eye cream designed "to help reduce the appearance of serious dark circles and chronic puffiness surrounding the orbital eye area."

When they say "serious" they aren't kidding. According to their website, "...serious dark circles... not the kind that pop up in the morning and are gone by breakfast, but the kind of serious dark circles that stay around forever... making you look old, tired and exhausted."

Basically, the kind we have.

Tip of the day: Best drugstore mascaras

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style, Style Tip of the Day


Over the last decade that we've been wearing makeup (yeah we had one of those dad's that forbid it until we were 16... laaaaame), we have probably tested every single mascara available at our local drugstore – no kidding. We had a great time testing over the years, particularly during a brief period of CVS employment that was strictly for the cosmetic discount. It was basically a crazed 2 month makeup rampage... ahhh the memories.

So after all of this time, we are pleased to share our findings with you.

Tip of the day: Raccoon eyes be gone

Filed under: Skin Care, Style Tip of the Day


Ugh, waking up in the morning is a drag. Puffy under eyes and sometimes dark circles – ew! And the most common culprits probably aren't the ones you think they are. Let's take a look.

Tip of the day: How to avoid summer makeup meltdown

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


Most of us love the summertime – the sun, the beach, the warmth, the runny makeup... okay, so maybe we don't love all of it. When the weather is hot and you're sweating your face off literally, it is time to readjust your makeup routine so you don't look like a hot mess for the next three months.

Tip of the day: Removing over eye caterpillars, also known as your eyebrows

Filed under: Style Tip of the Day


Sure the eyebrow shape your mama gave you is just the right one for your face. That doesn't mean there isn't a little clean up involved to keep them looking right.

It's a sad fact that some people go so insane with plucking that they have to paint their eyebrows on (why, why, why!?) while others are so unkempt that their uni-brow can be seen from space.

Kat Von D makeup at Sephora

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style


You'd expect Kat Von D to have her make up tattoo'd on, right? Us too! So we were surprised to see that she has an exclusive new line of make up at Sephora.

It's a limited line, just a couple of smokey eyeshadow palettes, four lipsticks and some liquid liners. Oh, and a brush kit they refer to as "cool tattools." Sigh. Everyone with the puns.

Tip of the day: Mascara 101

Filed under: Cosmetics, Steals and Deals, Style Tip of the Day


As women, we want our mascara to be a macho man -- thick, long, long-lasting, conditioning and waterproof. Okay, maybe that was the wrong metaphor but regardless, we expect a lot out of our mascara but we might not be doing our part in meeting our partner half way.

Here are a few helpful hints to get the best show out of your favorite mascara.

Tip of the day: Cosmetic lifespans

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


Many of us gals have been the victim of expired cosmetics. Here's the scenario. After seeing pics of that smokin' gloss we used to wear in high school, we rush to our beauty closet only to open the tube to a rank stank that we don't understand. Most beauty products do not have any smell, or if they do, it is very faint. If you start noticing some product BO, it's because that favorite gloss is dying a slow, bacteria-invested death in that dark, tightly sealed tube. Once the product has peaked, it can cause some pretty gross irritations or infections if used. To avoid all of the above, follow these general toss time guidelines.

Could Spinlash solve your mascara woes?

Filed under: Cosmetics


Every cosmetics company has a mascara on the market that promises to volumize, lengthen, and eliminate clumps, but how many actually live up to the hype?

Second City Style thinks that Spinlash might be the answer to all of our mascara prayers. The mascara, which comes in black or brownish-black, has a rotating brush. It can spin both ways, allowing you to easily apply mascara to your top and bottom lashes.

Eye on spring: Navy eyeliner

Filed under: Cosmetics

Looking to switch up your look for spring? Maybe you want to find something a little less heavy than regular black eyeliner? You're in luck -- according to The Budget Fashionista, navy eyeliner is the way to go for spring '08.

Models on the spring runway for Narcisco Rodriguez wore an indigo gel liner because, according to Dick Page (the make up artist responsible), "Navy is more mysterious than basic black."

I don't know about the whole "mysterious" thing, but I do like the look. It's just a bit more exciting, adding a little extra "oomph" to your everyday makeup. Plus, it can make the whites of your eyes look a bit brighter (you know, the blue vs. red rule, like when you wear lipstick with a more bluish tone of red or pink, it makes your teeth look whiter -- same thing, only for your eyes).

The Budget Fashionista recommends the L'Oreal HIP Navy Eye Liner Pencil for $8, but I'm sure your favorite makeup brand has their own. Give it a try!

Don't it make my brown eyes blue: Eye tattoos

Filed under: Accessories, Men

Just in case you weren't satisfied with the wide array of color contacts out there, either because you don't feel like they look natural or because of those silly instructions telling you to take them out once in a while, you'll be glad to know that you might have an option. A Toronto man nicknamed Pauly Unstoppable (of course) got an eyeball tattoo. Say it with me: EEEEWWWWW!!!!

Over 40 injections were made into the man's eyeball in order to turn it blue. Not just the iris -- the whole thing. The procedure was entirely experimental (and GROSS), and Mr. Unstoppable made a point to say that this was something and his tattoo artist had researched, and that nobody should try this until he finds out whether it will make him go blind or not.

Fantastic. Hope those blue (eye)balls are worth it, man.
