Hey guys, My marvelous makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic answered a TON of your questions after I posted his makeup videos. Here is the first batch, which focuses on eye makeup...
Jytza: I was wondering what you think of colored eyeliner and colored mascara. I'm tired of the basic black and would like a pop of color without looking tacky...what would you recommend for someone who has brown eyes like me or Kim?
Mario: I think auburn/burgundy mascara would look great with brown eyes. Try green eyeliner - that usually looks good with brown eyes..I like the MAC’s technakohl liner in Antiquity. Kevyn Aucoin makes a great burgundy shade of mascara and Lorac makes a nice Auburn one too.
Mae: Hey Mario! Thanks for answering our make up questions. I use a regular pencil eye liner. How do you keep it from smudging throughout the day? And second, which eye shadow colors look good on medium tan, skin tones?
Mario: Hey Mae, before you apply your pencil on the upper lid, use an eye shadow primer or some foundation/concealer on the lid and dust some loose powder over it to set it. Follow with the liner. You could also apply the liner, then set it with a translucent, no color powder. If the liner on the inner rim of your eye isn’t staying, switch to a waterproof one like the powerpoint pencil from MAC. It lasts all day.
OfficialGirl09: Hi Mario! I only use liquid eyeliner and I wanted to know what is the best one? I've always used "Almay" and I love it because it last long, but it smears a little on the bottom lid. Help!
Mario: Hey OfficialGirl09, I like using liquid eyeliners that are matte and that can blend easily once they dry. The one I’m currently using is by MAC. To prevent smearing on the bottom, again - make sure the skin has makeup and powder on before. Powder will really help to prevent smudges.
