The Night Owl’s Winged Eye

Kouturekiss - The Night Owl Eye Look

Want a dramatic eye, but don’t want to bother with eyeshadow? Try doing a winged liner look, but take it a little further….

I used Inglot gel liner in #77, and angled MAC brush #263. I love this liner because it’s the blackest I’ve ever used and waterproof. This is my favorite brush because it’s very precise, and the synthetic hairs give a smooth and thin application.

Step 1. Starting with a matte eye, use your synthetic angle brush with the tip pointing away from the eye, to lay down your first line.
Step 2. Go back to the line, and drag the liner across the entire lid to the inside of the eye. The bigger the better, dont be scared! It’ll feel weird but it’ll look beautiful! Connect with the front of the eye. (more…)

5 Shades Of Lips For Brunettes

Have your ever just changed your hair color so dramatically and now you can’t figure out what lipsticks to wear? I just recently had this problem switching to bright blonde to a very dark brunette. I have fixed my little problem and thought I would share my top 5 new lipsticks that look great with my newly dyed dark brunette hair.

  1. MAC’s ‘Charmed I’m Sure’ from the Marilyn Monroe Collection. It is a beautiful blue red that is matte and gives a very 1950’s look when it contrasts with your dark tresses. MAC’S Russian Red is a very good duplication for this product. (more…)
