All Made Up: Eyeliners Outlined

eyeliner

Eyeliner is the one makeup staple that I just won’t leave the house without. Liner-less eyes make me feel like a zombie and I inevitably get bombarded with “are you sick” or “did you not sleep well” type questions.

I’ve tried so many different liners just trying to find that perfect one. And then I realized there isn’t one. The trick is that with so many different varieties, there are perfect liners for different occasions! Certain lifestyles and situations fit better with a particular type of eyeliner. I’ve outlined the different types of liner and the pros and cons of each so you can decide which ones are right for you: Read More »

Makeup 101: Add a Wee Bit O’ Green to Your Routine

green-liner.jpgOh St. Patty’s day. The only day it’s okay to lie and say that you are a wee bit Irish and take a shot toasting the green isle.  It’s also okay (and damn well expected) to add a little green to your routine.

Yes, including your makeup.

Don’t worry – you won’t look like Kermit… or Elphaba from Wicked. There is a perfectly acceptable way to put green on your face. And that involves subtlety. Shy away from neon greens or green lipsticks; instead, layer on the green shadows, liner and mascara for a festive yet totally classy look.

Who knows? You may even continue to rock those greens all year long. Plus, no one will be able to resist a pair of sparkling green eyes.

So give green a chance with these great green products! Read More »

The CC Weekly Weigh In: Playing For the Other Team

meganfox-bra.jpgI like boys. A lot. But that doesn’t mean I can’t admire a lady from time to time. Even though I want to snuggle up with a boy at the end of the night (or afternoon), I still find myself developing crushes on some ladies. Not “OMG I wanna do you right now” crushes, but more like “If I were a guy, you would totally be my #1″ sorta things.

And I’m not alone. Unlike men who get weird just brushing against another dude, we ladies are able to admire and look at (and even makeout with) other girls without a problem. We can talk about another girl’s great boobs, or how hot she looks in a dress without thinking twice. Lots of girls have girl crushes, so this week I asked the CollegeCandy writers which lady could get them to switch teams.

And I gotta say – we have really good taste.

Erica – Kent State: Helena Bonham Carter, but only as her character Marla Singer from Fight Club. Yum.

Elisabeth – UA Huntsville: Eliza Dushku. She rocked on Tru Calling.

S.E. – Fordham: Megan Fox. ‘Nuff said.

Lauren – University of Michigan: Amy Poehler. I have a thing for funny girls. And maybe I could use her to get to Will Arnett?

Sarah – East Carolina University: Milla Jovovich. She kicks ass and looks fantastic doing it. Read More »

Bettie Page, A Sexual Icon, Dies

bizarre.jpgBettie Page died Thursday night after suffering a heart attack December 2, leaving her on life support. The infamous Ms. Page was known for being a sexual icon, the first of her kind, and paving the way for women and sexuality.

Even though Bettie gave up modeling back in the early ’60s, she has not been forgotten. The phrase “pin-up girl” is automatically associated with her name and infamous curvacious body and jet black hair. She has inspired kinkiness in all sorts of forms as thousands of women have attempted to follow in her footsteps, artists have painted her, and film makers have documented her life (“The Notorious Bettie Page”).

Despite her unfortunate passing, I have a feeling Ms. Page will continue to inspire women. Even celebs today have tried to emmulate her sex appeal (think Kat Von D). Hef himself described her as “a combination of wholesome innocence and fetish-oriented poses that is at once retro and very modern.” She is timeless.

She was a woman’s woman who exuded sex from her pores and left every guy wanting more. It is no wonder Ms. Page is held in such high esteem. She is an inpsiration to women everywhere and has definitely left her mark on me. Read More »
