Article copied from Bella Sugar Website
If you’re a fan of vintage styles, you’re going to love this how-to. On Sunday, makeup artist Jamie Greenberg helped to transform Twilight‘s Ashley Greene into a 1940s siren at the MTV Movie Awards. The majority of you were loving it, and now I’ve got tips straight from Greenberg on copying the glamorous look on your own, all using products from Mark. For the scoop, read more.
- Eyes: Apply Custom Pick Eye Color in Whisper ($4.50) as a highlighter under the brow, and Custom Pick Eye Color in Latte ($4.50) on the lid, up towards the crease. Next, use On the Edge Hook Up Liquid Liner in Cleo ($5.50) for a cat-eye effect. “Just dash along the lash line, then go over it again. You can always go even thicker for more drama,” Greenberg said. Next, curl lashes and apply two coats of Scanda-Lash Hook Up Mascara in Blacklash ($5.50). “You can even take some Eyemarker Color On Line in Java ($5.50) and blend into the lower lash line for definition,” she added.
- Face: Start by applying moisturizer. (“Fresh skin makes any makeup application look better,” Greenberg says.) Face Xpert Flawless Touch Foundation in Ivory ($8) gave Ashley a porcelain-skinned look. To complement the red lips, Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Berry ($6) was then applied. “You also want to highlight right above the cheekbone with some Get Bright Hook-Up Highlighter ($6),” recommended Greenberg.
- Lips: A sweep of KissInk Lip Tintmarker in Red Siren ($7) was used to give Ashley an old Hollywood matte-lip. But, if you prefer a glossier finish, Greenberg suggests Lip Exotics Lip Lacquer Hook Up in Fever ($6)

New Found FAV! mark Glow Xpert Face Shimmer
Mark Glow Xpert Face Shimmer…
Product description from Meet Mark Website: Instantly brighten any complexion with this light-reflecting, sheer, shimmering lotion. Can be worn alone or mixed with moisturizer or foundation. Includes our Xpert sponge tip applicator. 0.4 fl. oz.
The Good:
mark Glow Xpert Face Shimmer totally reminds me of the new Mac Cosmetics Lustre Drops from the Style Warriors.
The colors may not be dead on but the idea is very similar. they come in five great shades.
Three of the shades which are listed below and swatched below.
Colors are in same order in photo as well as swatches.
1- Champagne Glow- has a really pale shimmer to it. Its so light and soft. This could definitely be worn daily! 2- Rose Glow- I think this one might be my favorite. It definitely reminds me of the new MAC Pink Rebel Lustre Drop
3- Golden Glow- The Name couldn’t be more perfect!! I think this is gorgeous for summer. I cant wait to add this to my cheeks for a super bronzy look…
There are two other shades which I didn’t purchase. Candle Glow and Sun Glow Both probably better suited for darker skin tones than my NW15 self! (mac foundation)
I truly believe that any of these are great additions to your daily routine! At at $8.00 for a bottle, Who can argue?
The Bad:
The packaging for these are a little disappointing. I mean its definitely strong and durable. I’m sure the design is convenient for some.. But for the makeup savvy this container doesn’t make much sense.
The product comes out on a sponge tip when you open the container. I definitely will not use the sponge to apply. I am going to look for something to transfer these into for easier usage. for now I will probably have to keep pouring a bit out to mix or apply. But for the price. This is something I can deal with. Has Anyone else tried these? Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences…. xoxo, MS:)
