Quick Chick Halloween Makeup Spider Web With Black Liquid Liner

Halloween is upon us, and if you are stumped for costume ideas, don't worry!

You can create a COOL set of spider web eyes with a simple liquid black liner, crayon, pencil, or even a magic marker.

Who needs a costume when you have a super spider web makeup look?!

Check out this great photo of YouTube star KelseyFarese. Her YouTube vid here!


You don't have to go through every step that Kelsey shows you in fine detail.

Maybe you don't want the faux lashes or heavy shadows. Don't worry. Just draw on a cat eye, add mascara, and draw on your 2 spider webs.

So COOL! We suggest a black liquid liner felt tip pen typeMaybelline's Master Precise Ink Pen is PERFECT for getting the job done.

The beauty of the Master Precise Ink Pen is in its uber skinny point. We're talking about an 'ultra-tin 0.4mm brush.'

We found it at ULTA for $7.99.

Kate Middleton Keeps Wowing Crowds With Big Bouncy Hair + Fashion Style

Kate Middleton has NEVER looked better.

Out and about in the public these days, the Duchess of Cambridge is turning a lot of heads.

Here's the royal mom-of-2 at a black-tie fundraiser last evening in London in a striking floral dress by Brit designer Erdem. Price tag----$4,000 plus.



But more  importantly to us.....is her healthy* bouncy* thick* hair!

We are jealous.


Kate looking great. She's letting that mass of brunette hair do ALL the talking. Even her makeup is minimal here with mascara, liner + a soft pinky-beige lipstick.

Her longtime stylist Richard Ward has hinted at the shampoos the pretty Duchess might be using to gain such volume, bounce + shine.And one of these cost $40 (Kerastate Bain Satin):

‘I recommend that my clients use Kerastase Satin Range or my own Richard Ward Couture Hair HydraSlim range,’ says Richard. ‘It uses technology which repairs damage in hair so, if you use it regularly, you’ll have healthy shiny hair. Damaged hair is frizzy while Kate’s signature look is smooth.’

The Choker Trend Continues for 2016: Kim + Rihanna Neck To Neck

Chokers.

It's a jewelry look you either LOVE or probably HATE.....Well, the choker trend is still HOT, and will continue to be into next Spring 2016.

Kim Kardashian and Rihanna seem to be obsessed with chokers, because these ladies wear them a lot.



Only thing is....Kim in a gold coiled Balmain stacked choker looks FAB, but the price tag is around $2,000.
.
And Rihanna looking GLAM in Dior, well that choker is in the thousands, too.

But you CAN COPY the choker trend. We found several for CHEAP at Forever21.

Look at this one.....A SEXY stacked bar choker in SILVER for only $14.90.

So CHIC!


Are you into the choker trend, ladies?

Get Frequent Gel Manicures? Then Better Put On Sunscreen First

Gel manicures......They don't chip easily and seem to last twice as long.

What's not to LOVE?

We've heard about the possible skin cancer link before......well, the talk is surfacing once again.

GMA talked about gel manicure safety recently.


And we were surprised by what TV dermatologist, Dr. Whitney Bowe revealed.

She claims that "regular gel manicures speed up the aging process," because your hands are going under the UV or LED lamps to set the polish.

Her advice?

If you're going to get frequent gel manicures, then apply sunscreen to your hands about 15 minutes BEFORE getting the manicure.

Dr. Bowe  likes this sunscreen by LaRoche-Posay, Anthelios 60 Melt-In Sunscreen Milk ($35.99, at ULTA).

Bold Blue Lips: Big Beauty Trend Of The Moment---Do You Dare?

Famous makeup artist Sandy Linter once remarked, that in your 20s it's okay to go WILD with makeup colors.

The color BLUE is having a moment.....Smoky blue eyes are HOT now and for Spring 2016.

And more boldly......blue lips.



Here's Kylie Jenner a few weeks ago looking GLAM with a bright blue pout.


Blue lips were prominent during the Fall 2014 runway shows, but the shade seems to continue to mainstream in 2015.

Check out singer Melanie Martinez in blue lips for her debut album Cry Baby. In fact, the lipstick shade she is wearing is Cry Baby ( cartoon blue) by Lime Crime makeup's Unicorn Lipstick ($18,  at Lime Crime).

Doe Deere, CEO of Lime Crime, has collaborated with Melanie for her Cry Baby bold shade.

Why the color blue for lips?

Doe Deere explains it at her Lime Crime website:

MELANIE LOVES TO ACCENTUATE HER SIGNATURE POUT WITH FUN LIP COLORS. WHEN WE SET OUT TO CREATE CRY BABY, WE KNEW IT HAD TO BE AS UNIQUE AS MELANIE HERSELF. THE RESULT IS A SENSATIONAL SHADE OF BLUE THAT IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER: IT HAS VIBRANCY AND DEPTH, AND LOOKS FANTASTIC ACROSS A MULTITUDE OF SKIN TONES.

Will you dare to put on bright blue lipstick this fall?
