VISUAL EFFECTS
  Pro Guide to Making Eyes



"The palette is so cute! It's a real music box and would look great on any vanity table," said Tiffany. "The brighter colors work well with my skin tone, and I was told my lips looked very 'kissable.' " Tiffany was partial to the teal green and silver shadows and pink glosses, which she layered on her lids and lips respectively. She also made use of the secret cheek compartment on the side and warmed up her complexion with a perfectly pink blush and a hot, cocoa bronzer.



"You could create a lot of amazing looks with this multi-purpose set. I chose a modified smoky eye using the deep purple and lilac shadows," says Adrienne, who, with 16 eye colors to choose from, had a lot on her palette. She then paired her plum peepers with a pop of nude gloss and cheek color (also included in the set). "I got a lot of compliments on how green my eyes looked afterward. I will definitely be repeating this look later in the holiday season!"



"I love the LORAC set. The packaging is so chic and convenient, and the range of colors is phenomenal," says Candace, who crafted a smoldering stare using charcoal, black, and turquoise shadows. From the palette's second tier (which features another large mirror!), she used the coral blush and nude Mocktail gloss. "It's also awesome for holiday travel, as the case it comes in is big enough to hold my concealer and mascara, too."



Amanda had everything she needed to nail the luminous look. "I used the Flash Powder as a highlighter on the cheekbones, temples, above top lip (helps define the cupid's bow), top of the bridge of the nose (not the tip!), and around the eyes." To emphasize her eyes even more, she fanned out the copper liner at the outer corners and dabbed a dot of the gloss on the balls of her lids. With a final swipe of gloss on the lips she was ready to glow.



Stila's perennial-fave products have major holiday-season power, as Joyce demonstrated with this clutch-full of cosmetics. Her new ho-ho-go-to: the mini All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer, which she says performs wonders in seconds. "Between my luminescent skin, kissable red pout, and flirty, flushed cheeks, I looked as if I just stood under the mistletoe with my Christmas crush," admits Joyce.



"I love this collection because it brings out a holiday radiance while maintaining the Bare Escentuals natural, pure quality that I absolutely adore," said Julia. "The Ruby Radiance All-Over Face Glow added that ruby-infused aura to my naturally fair complexion for a sweet, healthy luminosity. The Beautifully Luminous Lashes put stars in my eyes. And as for low-maintenance, feel-good, pretty lip color, I simply can't ask for anything more than the Ruby Buxom Big & Healthy Full Color Lip Polish!"



"This set is great for people who aren't as makeup savvy, because it includes step-by-step instructions," said Lynn. "And of course (for more visual people like myself), the model picture on the box helped tons!" Lynn fell in love with her violet eyes and shimmering pink lips at first sight. "I will definitely wear this look again—for a night out or a special occasion with my boyfriend."



Party girl Molly took advantage of the serious sparkle in this retro-inspired set. "Depending on your mood and occasion, you can either wear the lighter shades for a more toned-down look or crank up the volume with a dark, smoky eye and fun silver glitter! I especially love the silver eyeliner. So mod!" We all loved how the blu_ray™ blush airbrushed her cheeks and allowed her disco-ball lids to shine.
