Almay gentle eye makeup remover options

I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to remove my make up. I do not wear foundation daily but one of the most stubborn things to get off is my mascara. If you're like me and wear several coats, you know my struggle. It's always good to have a holy Grail make up remover on hand at all times.

Almay Longwear & waterproof gentle eye makeup remover

Gently and easily lifts away makeup, completely removing even the most stubborn waterproof mascara and longwearing products. luxurious dual-phase formula leaves skin feeling conditioned and moisturized.

Since I wear so many coats of mascara- sometimes waterproof remover is the best option. I shake the formula together, then get a cotton pad and and just hold on my eye. This is definetly a process I do when I am not in a rush. When you hold the cotton pad to your eye, I find that it breaks down the mascara quicker. I just do a quick back and forth and everything is off!

NYFW: Hourglass Cosmetics- Christian Siriano Spring 2014

I loved the makeup look created by MUA artist Polly Osmond for Hourglass for 

Christian Siriano's spring 2014 collection. 

The theme was vived hues seen by Siriano from hisrecent trip to Isla Mujeres on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. “I wanted the collection to be light, feminine and romantic,” says Siriano. “Like the girl left the beach but she had a cocktail party to go to, and threw on a dress, a bright lip, and little highlighter.”

CHEEKS
To create a multi-dimensional glow, apply all three shades from Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette (NEW) to the cheeks using a circular motion. Dab Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum onto the apples of the cheeks for a hint of tropical sheen.

EYES
Apply the Incandescent shade from Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette (NEW) all over the lids. Follow with the shimmering Shell shade from Hourglass Vol. 6 Eye Shadow Palette, applied to the inner corner of eyes. Use the same shade to create a diffused liner along the top and bottom of the lash lines. Finish with a coat of Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara.

BROWS
Brush a small amount of Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum onto brows to create definition and a little shine.

LIPS
Prep lips earlier with Hourglass No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil for superior hydration. Apply Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Muse, an orange coral shade, to the lips. Create a diffused pout by softening the outline of the lips with a lip brush.
