Makeup Mondays With Mario: Defined Eye Crease

Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.

Hi Mario,

You are a huge inspiration to me you truly inspire me to try new and different unique things as a make up artist. There is just one thing I find tricky to achieve when I do make up. What's a easy way for a really defined eye crease? I find it very challenging to create this look and I always end up with two different shapes on each eye! What's the trick?

Thank you so much!

Janet

Hi Janet,

Thank you and Happy Halloween! :-). When going for a defined crease, using a typical dome shaped blending brush will not do the trick. Instead, try using a pencil along the crease. Use a small eye shadow brush or Q-tip to softly blend the line from side to side. If you want to define it more, try drawing a very thin line along the crease using a liquid liner. A thin eyeliner brush and eyeshadow also works well.

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!

xo,

Mario

Cuten Up Your Countertop With New Q-tips Vanity Packs

How do you improve upon one of the most genius beauty tools ever? Put it in a pretty package, of course. I mean, how adorable are these new decorative vanity packs from Q-tips? They'll make your old blue box turn green with envy.

One of these compact cubes houses 285 of the multipurpose swabs that you know and love. A drawer slides out, which allows easy access to the Q-tips (and, consequently, ups this product's cleverness and convenience quotient). It adds a pop of color to your bland bathroom countertop. And for only $3.19 a pop, you can afford to keep a container in your drawer at work, for those cosmetics calamities that happen between 9 and 5.

Look for these cuties wherever Q-tips are sold.
