Extra Eye Makeup And Simple Solutions
During Fashion Week - because hey, I don't get out of the woods all that often these days, so I have to take every opportunity I get to do it up - I went big, and even switched up my regular brown-and-black look with some serious color
When Tired Eyes Are Smiling
Because wandering around all day feeling like a zombie is one thing, but I'd rather not look like one, as well.
2-Minute Makeup: Eyeliner, Clean & Simple
Too-heavy eye makeup ages your whole face; especially as you get older, a lighter touch looks far more elegant and pretty.
Daily Beauty: Peter Thomas Roth Eye Tightener
Have you heard about the Peter Thomas Roth Instant FIRMx Eye Tightener? It's that stuff that Dr. Oz swears by (he did a before-and-after on his show that was pretty incredible), and my mother-in-law recently sent me a tube to use when I'm shooting (or just feeling extra-puffy).
My under-eye area, as you know if you've been reading here for awhile, is probably my most annoying problem spot - it just shows immediately when I haven't drunk enough water or had a bad night's sleep (and when you have a baby, that obviously happens frequently). I've tried tons and tons of products to help with the puffiness, and have generally found that I prefer ones with a light texture and a cooling element (a rollerball is nice, too), but was pretty psyched to try the Peter Thomas Roth stuff when I saw the Dr. Oz results.

Ready In A (F)Lash: A Mini False Eyelash Tutorial
You know how I was talking about beauty time-savers yesterday? Well, I have one more suggestion:
False eyelashes.
I know, you're all, "Jordan, crazy girl...false eyelashes are not a trick for those in search of speed, they are a totally indulgent and time-consuming to-do"...but stay with me for a second, here.
It's true: until you get used to the process false eyelashes are more glue-everywhere than glamorous. But once you figure them out, they're on and busy making you look totally going-out-worthy in thirty seconds. Maybe a minute. And if you add them to the basic makeup shown in my New Mama Makeup Tutorial, they're really all you need to look pretty and pulled-together, and just a little bit spectacular. Sure, if you're feeling fancy you can always add on smoky eyes, red lips, et cetera et cetera...but if you have incredible lashes, you (or at least I) just feel done. Sexy. Just a little bit spectacular.
Is This The Weirdest Product Ever?
I'll answer that one for you:
Yes.
It's so weird.
In a nutshell, Talika Eyebrow Extender is a transparent gel filled with hair-like fibers that you paint onto your eyebrows to make them look thicker and fuller. Really.
2-Minute Makeup: Navy & Gold Eye
One of my favorite looks for fall, the navy-and-gold eye can be worn subtly for day, or drama-ed up for night
A Little Twist On The Mod Eye
To create this sculptural effect, use a thin brush to apply heavily pigmented powder liner (rather than liquid liner) - you'll have more control.
