ARE YOU MAKING EYES AT ME? BOBBI BROWN SHADOW STICK, L'OREAL HiP SHADOW PAINT

Time to get bright eyed and perk up your peepers (I'm talking about your eyes of course). Eyeshadow is a great tool for creating a bright and open eye. An easy way to get this look is to use a light, shimmery shade of eyeshadow to add highlights to your eyes. You can use a neutral color as your base and then use a light shadow accent to add a little somethin', somethin' to your eyes.

LOCATION IS EVERYTHING
Makeup artists to the celebs apply a glimmering, white eyeshadow in perfectly placed strategic areas to highlight their face. White shimmer shadow is placed at the brow bone (just below the eyebrow), to the inner corners of the eyes and believe it or not they also place it on the sides of the nose at the bridge which makes eyes look wide.

THE CREAMY CONTROVERSY
There are those who find that creamy eyeshadows tend to crease and need to be reapplied throughout the day and then there is ME. I love creamy shadows because they go on so smooth and I find that they blend easily. Sometimes in the Summer when I am out in the sun I find that powder eyeshadow can dry out my eyelids and the creamy shadows kept my lids soft.

LAY IT ON ME BABY!
I love that I can easily layer creamy shadow. I can use it as a highlighter or I can get a simple, sexy eye with a single sweep of shimmer and look perfect! Bobbi Brown has a Shadow Stick in Vanilla that I really like. It is H2O resistant, is crease free and because it comes in a stick I can easily apply it exactly where I want to add highlights. This is a great product especially for those on the go! CK Calvin Klein Tempting Glimmer Sheer Creme eyeshadow is another good choice for creamy shadows. The colors are, yummy, they are easy to apply an I really love the shimmer.

CHEAP THRILL
For a sexy, creamy eyeshadow that you can use as a highlighter, layer or just wear alone without the pricey price tag try L'OREAL HiP high intensity pigment cream eyeshadow paint.
