Katy Perry Lashes by Eylure Reviews and Photos

Phyllis — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:48:41 +0000

The new eyelash collection from Katy Perry and UK eyelash brand Eylure just landed at Ulta and as expected, total cuteness overload! Read on to see my review and pics!

All handmade and 100% natural, the Katy Perry by Eylure lashes come with adhesive, a cute sticker and Katy’s tips on how to apply them. There are four different styles:

Sweetie Pie is a natural-looking style and similar to Ardell #109.
Oh Honey! is your typical wispy style and similar to Ardell Runway Lash in Daisy.
Oh My! is the most dramatic and unique out of the four. It looks like two sets of lashes layered on top of one another and should be what Katy’s wearing on the box.
Cool Kitty is an intense, full style that is similar to Ardell #131.

I played with mine briefly and here are my thoughts so far:

PROS
* Girly packaging and cute names.
* Very soft and natural-looking hair.
* Fits well (no trimming required) and feels light and comfortable on.
* Easy to use. Love that the adhesive comes with a little applicator so you can apply the glue directly onto the strip without making a mess.
* Reusable as long as you take good care of them.

CONS
* Expensive. Most drugstore lashes retail $3-5 for a pair but this goes for almost $7.
* Limited selection. Would love to see a wider variety of styles.

Oh, Honey!

Oh, My!

Are you liking the look of these? Stay tuned for pictures of me wearing them!

Overall Rating:

Katy Perry Lashes by Eylure are available at Ulta.com and Ulta stores for $6.99.

Celebrity Hair and Makeup: Katy Perry at 2011 American Music Awards

Phyllis — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:43:55 +0000

To complement her gorgeous Vivienne Westwood couture tube dress at the 2011 American Music Awards , makeup artist Jake Bailey gave Katy Perry a classic makeup look with liquid liner, lashes and coral red lips while Fekkai Celebrity Stylist Renato Campora created a very sculpted, modern French twist updo on her.

Face
“I perfected her skin by buffing a liquid foundation onto her skin using a large kabuki brush and set it with a dusting of Guerlain Les Violettes loose powder. I warmed her complexion with a tawny blush from Nars called “Madly” and swirled a tiny bit of a coral shimmer blush called “Orgasm”… also from Nars on the apples of her cheeks for a little extra glow.”

Eyes
“I elongated her eyes using a liquid liner marker from Le Metier. Then, I applied 2 sets of strip lashes and coated them with 2 coats of CoverGirl LashBlast 24Hr mascara. This is an extra rich formula that lasts forever. I’ve been using this on all my clients for red carpets lately since I can’t always be with them for touch ups. I lined her lower lashline with CoverGirl LiquilineBlast eyeliner in “Violet Voltage” I softened it by blending it out with a small shadow brush.”

Lips
“I used a bright coral red, CoverGirl LipPerfection lipcolor in “Flame”. This was the perfect color to pick up on the dresses coral accents and complemented her pink hair. I had Katy apply the lipstick directly from the tube and I refined the edges using a small lipstick brush. ”

Hair
Renato began by applying Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel to wet hair in order to give it a firm base. He then blow-dried the hair while brushing it through with a flat brush. He used an one-inch curling iron throughout the hair to create body while giving it a sturdy foundation. Renato then heavily teased the hair. To create the final up-do, he pushed the front of the hair forward and wrapped the rest into a French twist, securing it with hairpins. To complete the look, Renato added an accessory made by Vivienne Westwood by weaving it into the hair with his fingers. He secured the look by spraying the hair with Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray.

Celebrity Makeup Breakdown: Katy Perry At 2011 MTV Video Music Awards

Phyllis — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:27:57 +0000

With cotton candy-colored tresses, uber fun makeup and the coolest nails, pop princess Katy Perry showed up at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards last night looking cuter than ever! See how CoverGirl celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey created the look on Katy after the jump!

“On her eyes, I first applied CoverGirl LiqulineBlast Eyeliner in Blue Boom along the lash line and then blended CoverGirl Intense ShadowBlast in Blue Bomb over the entire lid. I used CoverGirl Intense ShadowBlast in Beige Blaze on the inner corner of the eye and then blended CoverGirl Intense ShadowBlast in Forever Pink all the way up to the brow brown. The blue and pink colors mixed together created the gorgeous lavender shade.”

“Intense ShadowBlast worked really well for this look because not only did the liquid formula blend together easily, but the built-in primer allowed it to stay in place all night. I finished the eye with CoverGirl NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara in Black on the top and bottom lashes and slightly smudged it into the lash line for a bold look.”

“I highlighted her cheeks with a coral shimmer blush and then finished the look with CoverGirl LipPerfection lipcolor in Temptress, the perfect balance of pink and coral for lips that really popped.”

Celebrity Makeup Breakdown: Katy Perry at 2011 Grammy Awards

Phyllis — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 04:38:58 +0000

At the 2011 Grammy Awards tonight, celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey gave Katy Perry an angelic, sparkly and ethereal “Disco Angel” look to go with her Armani Prive dress.

Face
“I first prepped her skin with NARS Gentle Cream Cleanser and Aqua Gel Hydrator. I love the Aqua Gel because it doesn’t make her skin greasy but keeps it moisturized. Katy’s face was flawless, polished skin set with a shimmery pink blush and then I dusted glitter on her cheekbones to add to the sparkle.”

Eyes
“For Katy’s multi-colored eye, I first applied the lavender shade of CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Silver Sky all along the top lid from lashline to crease and blended with my fingertips. Cream shadows are great adhesive for glitter, which was perfect for applying Makeup For Ever Glitter on the lid by tapping it with my finger. I then applied CoverGirl LiquiLineBlast in Green Glow along the lower water line and lower lashes and blended it with a small brush to smoke it out. I finished the eyes with 2 coats on top and bottom of CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion in Black.”

Lips
“On her lips, I created a rich pink look with CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipcolor in Temptress for the red carpet and then changed it to a brighter berry pink/red for her performance using CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipcolor in Tempt.”

How To Get Katy Perry’s Wavy Hair

Phyllis — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 01:11:15 +0000

Want to recreate Katy Perry‘s pin up wavy hairdo like the one spotted at the 2011 People’s Choice Awards? Find out how after the jump!

To complement her strapless Betsey Johnson dress for a “sophisticated, cutie-pie” style, Pantene Celebrity Stylist Danilo created a beautiful classic body set on Katy, a style that “she always loves so much.”

Step 1. Start with freshly washed, towel-dried hair for a clean base.

Step 2. Lightly mist hair with Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Heat Protection & Shine Spray to wet and condition. Prep roots for the voluminous style by spraying them with Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Root Lifter Spray Gel.

Step 3. Blow hair out and, once dried, rub a small dollop of Pantene Pro-V Restore Beautiful Lengths Smoothing Balm section-by-section.

Step 4. Apply heat with a medium-sized curling iron to set each section and spray Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Professional Level Style Shaping Hairspray over the set. Let it cool for five minutes.

Step 5. Release hair, brush it gently, and simply “let hair fall very full and wavy”.

Step 6. Part hair to the side with lift in the front, and leave remaining curls big and loose for the final finish.
