    i love it! especially how you used black on the inner corner vs using it on the traditional outer V.

    Thanks girls =) I got the idea from Nina Ricci’s Fall 2009 show at Paris where they used a black and brownish purple on the eyes.

    I love that your eyebrow fill has a sparkle in it! Do you use that often?

    Those Taiwanese fake lashes look dramatic yet sooooo natural… makes me really want to go to Taiwan and stock them up… They are soooooooooo popular in Hong Kong now.

    Cassie,

    The color I used on my brows is actually an eyeshadow which explains the shimmer. I only do this when I’m trying to make my eyebrows look lighter.

    Sarah,

    Jane is an American brand. I haven’t seen it in London either.

    where can i get the jane?

    oh I love this look, I always use purple eyeshadow =)
    Does the Nars firming foundation work on wrinkles? cuz I have wrinkles under my eyes, probably from the years of foundation i use. I’ve been using bb cream but I don’t see a difference.

    Constanzz,

    Jane is available in most drugstores in the US.

  • Reply Phyllis March 14, 2009 at 12:13 pm

    Thanks Jenny =)

    To be honest, nothing can completely get rid of wrinkles unless it is something really strong prescribed by a derm or plastic surgery. Makeup that has skincare properties will only help prevent your skin from getting worst and keep your skin in good shape. You need to use an eye cream that is targeted for wrinkles (look for ones that contain retinol).
