How To Get A Spectacular Navy, Smoky Eye Like Keira Knightley

Let's be honest.....Some women are blessed with incredible bone structure, hence....English beauty Keira Knightly.

The actress never ceases to amaze---either through fashion or beauty.

Today, we are observing the navy, smoky eye that Keira does so well!

The Chanel face + muse always stuns on the red carpet. Here is one of our favorite looks she appeared as back in January of this year. The 29-year-old model/actress wore a lovely navy blue, Chanel gown.

And Keira's dark brown peepers took center stage in a navy smoky eye with black liner. She finished the glamorous look with a pink-y nude lip.

Well.....she looks spectacular!

To attain this smoky beauty, you will need:

1. a tube of blackest mascara
2. an eyeliner in blackest black
3. a navy eyeshadow.

We like Chanel's Ombres Contraste Duo 30 Bleu – Tendre Eyeshadow ($42) at Nordstrom's.

Of course, it doesn't hurt to have naturally full, killer brows like Keira's.

If you are shy about a bold shadow like navy, then just apply the shadow across the lid. Keep it neat + conservative. Then rim eyes in black liner + brush on a couple of coats of blackest mascara.

This makes for a fab evening look!

Tyra Banks Bankin' On Her Own New Makeup Line: "Smack My Fat Lash!"

Gotta LOVE model Tyra Banks. She's gorgeous, engaging and one, smart cookie when it comes to business.

The America's Next Top Model creator has been busy putting her OWN brand of makeup together called Tyra Beauty and it's just been launched. Fresh from the lab, packaged and ---all dolled up.

Since we LOVE eye makeup , we are most curious about Tyra's own mascara, so aptly named----"Smack My Fat Lash." The supermodel explains what her mascara delivers:

"Most mascaras lengthen or thicken, but Smack My Fat Lash does both! This dual formula fuses blue volumizing and black extension technologies to create the fiercest black: Le Black."

By the way....the Smack My Fat Lash wording goes back to the time(2007) the once Victoria's Secret model had gained a few pounds, and was humiliated by nasty tabloid, bathing suit photos. Well, Tyra struck back on her own TV show, showing up LIVE  in the same, one-piece bathing suit and telling the critics to "Kiss my Fat ***!".

We think Tyra has a stunning , curvy figure. And at age 40, she's doing just fine.

Tyra's Smack My Fat Lash will cost you $28. You can check out her formula here at her personal Tyra.com.

Tyra has a "really good website." Come see what the gorgeous model looks like WITHOUT MAKEUP. We were blown away. Click here under "What About the Rest of Us?".

CELLUBURNER By Daring Beaute Zeroes In On Fat Deposits To Smooth Away!

CELLULITE.

It's one of the nastiest words for women when it comes to body image.

The crazy thing about these dimpled fat deposits is that MOST women have CELLULITE, including supermodels, teens, moms, grand mothers, curvy bodies, slender bodies, etc.

So, yeah....CELLULITE is NORMAL, ladies.

The beauty science has gotten a lot better in tackling this orange peel-looking fat that appears on our thighs, rears, bellies and even our arms.

One of these advanced beauty products we've been trying out for a few weeks now is the Luxury Slim Pack of CELLUBURNER by DaringBeaute.com. The Intro Price Luxury Slim Pack ($59.50).

It's actually a cellulite-busting system, because S-M-O-O-T-H-I-N-G away CELLULITE takes more than just rubbing in an effective cream.

Instead, it's a simple regimen of a few steps that yields the BEST results
.
The Luxury Slim Pack features a body brush for dry-brushing, a body massager, the famous CELLUBURNER cream and a pair of Slim & Tone leggings.

When it comes to cellulite, circulation is key to battling dimpled fat deposits, because a great blood flow ensures the removal of toxins and strengthens skin cells.

That is why dry-brushing with the body brush and/or body massager before hitting the shower or bath makes a difference. And DaringBeaute.com advises brushing or massaging at the ankles....upwards to the legs, thighs, buttocks, stomach, back + arms.

And it FEELS good to get the CIRCULATION revving and tingling.

Twice a day, apply the CELLUBURNER from the ankles to the waist in circular motions. This is an amazing cellulite cream formulated with guarana, to help break down these stored fat deposits and improve skin texture. It feels like silk on the skin and helps SMOOTH for a nicer skin texture.

Then, twice a week, wear the Slim Tone leggings for a couple of hours AFTER applying the CELLUBURNER. The results = a firmer, smoother body. Plus---these high-quality leggings are figure-flattering.

It's a genius concept---merging cosmetics + apparel.

Battling CELLULITE takes work, and the Luxury Slim Pack is an intelligent system that delivers. This kit fights cellulite to reduce its appearance, and to prevent the emergence of new cellulite. That is important.

We think this is a GOOD beauty buy!

Sarah Hyland Protects + Enhances Beautiful Complexion With Armani Foundation

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland has gorgeous, clear, healthy skin. And it's interesting to note that the pretty TV actress goes high-fashion when it comes to her makeup.

She's a sophisticated gal at the young age of 23. But she's smart, too, because wearing foundation is key to a lovelier, more balanced complexion.

And Sarah Hyland chooses from the BEST----Giorgio Armani Maestro Foundation.

Plus great eyebrows we must add.

The Maestro Foundation isn't cheap, but neither is Armani style. This little bottle will cost you $64.

The fashion legend himself, Mr. Armani is proud of the foundation he has created:

"Makeup that becomes like a mask is good in a (fashion) show, but day to day, it must be there, but it must not be visible," he tells Allure magazine. "The makeup has to help the face show its best aspect and cover the negative.".

Check out Sarah's fave foundation by the master here.

Baby Soap, Biofirm Lift Cream And Great DNA For Iconic Model Naomi Campbell

We don't care what jealous people say about Naomi Campbell's hair, or lack there of. At age 44, this chick has stood and walked the runway test of time.

 Naomi Campbell is a TRUE supermodel.

We were blown away by the recent photo taken of the English beauty last night in New York City at the theatre, featuring Mighty Real: A Fabulous Sylvester Musical.

So, besides having superb DNA, we were curious to learn how this supermodel keeps it together.

According to an article in the January 2014 issue of Harper's Bazaar, the brunette beauty is picky about what she uses on her face + body:

"In the shower I only use baby soap. I don't like too many perfumed shower gels. I use Biofirm Lift cream, and I use eye cream. I moisturize my skin constantly, my whole body, and I use moisture serums for my face these days. I think all the makeup and heavy moisturizers just clog the pores."

We found a jar of Biofirm Lift cream here at Strawberry.net.com for a pricey $75.50.

Too bad our complexion is OILY, because we would invest in this stuff just to see if it has skin renewal promise
.
Naomi appears to treat her amazing body as a temple, too. She's strict about her beverage intake:

"The first thing I do is have hot water with lemon and probiotics. I've never drunk coffee; I don't like the smell. I'm a tea drinker. If I need it I will have one cup of green tea. I'm more into herbal tea.".

Say what you want about her bad behavior and all those rumorsof difficulty, but there is a reason Naomi continues to walk the cat-walk.

She's in great shape. Check her out at NY Fashion Week ,Sept. 25th on YouTube.

Cold, Dry Air Means Time For Eye Cream With Soothing Calendula

Let's be honest. When summertime hits, we all enjoy spending time outdoors. That means extreme heat, sun + damage to our skin, hair, and eyes.

And now that we have just entered autumn, it is essential we try and repair the havoc wreaked upon our faces + bodies.
.

Today, let's talk about our eyes. As we've been screaming on our beauty blog here for a few years now, the skin around the eyes is very delicate to begin with. This orbital region is also thin-skinned with tissue that contains few oil glands. That is why the eye area lacks natural moisture like other parts of the body.

As we get older, collagen breaks down, and thins out the skin around the eyes even more.

So that is really why putting on an eye cream every day + night will help fight fine lines + wrinkles, sagging + puffiness + dark circles.

There are tons of eye creams out there. So it can be quite daunting to pick the right formula. But why not try an organic eye cream containing CALENDULA.

This is a pretty, orange-petaled flower that is often used as a medicinal herb. When formulated into an eye cream, the properties of calendula do wonderful things, like soothe, moisturize and reduce under-eye puffiness.

We found a jar of eye cream containing calendula:

Indie Lee Calednula Eye Balm ($42).

Calendula Eye Balm contains these super natural ingredients:
Calendula Officinalis Flower (calendula) Oil, Beeswax, Magnifera Indica (mango) Seed Butter, Lavandula Angustifolia (lavender) Oil, Squalane (olive derived), Persea gratissima (avocado) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E).
