Zendaya walked the red-carpet at the iHeartRadio Music Awards with a fierce and edgy smokey eye. Marlena Stell, makeup educator and Makeup Geek CEO, recreates the stunner’s look using Makeup Geek www.makeupgeek.com!
Here’s how to get her look:
Barcelona Beach, Cocoa Bear, Corrupt, Mocha, Taupe Notch, In The Spotlight, Full Spectrum Eye Liners: Obsidian, Nude
Use Barcelona Beach as a transition (area between your brow bone and crease) and all over the lid and crease to make future blending easier.
Swipe Cocoa Bear into the crease blending out harsh lines only, this will add warmth to the overall look. Pat In The Spotlight all over the lid, to add more depth and drama to this metallic smokey eye add Corrupt to the outer V of the eye blending slightly into the crease.
Line the lower waterline with a Full Spectrum Eye Liner pencil in the color Nude .
Tightly line the lower lash line with Corrupt and smoke that out with Taupe Notch and finish this look with a pair of cat eye false lashes and you’re all set!

Get a new skin feeling with NuSonic by Skinn
Skinn Cosmetics “New” NuSonic Face and Body Cleansing Tool has added life to my shower. This New, spa-like, hand held cleansing tool works so well and will have you feeling so relaxcd; you will never want to leave it.
What I love about NuSonic Body Cleansing Tool is its dual function, cleansing both your face and body. NuSonic Face and Body Cleansing Tool is perfect for all skin types and is so easy to use. NuSonic Body Cleansing Tool has a 400 movement per second sonic vibration which allows dirt and impurities to loosen leaving your skin cleaner than ever. It’s gentle vibration, (trust me, it’s very gentle) on your skin is exuberating and the exfoliation treatment NuSonic offers only enhances the treatment leaving you with beautiful and glowing skin.
It is known that exfoliating before shaving is very important. Whether it’s your legs, underarms, etc., NuSonic will cleanse your body and exfoliate so you are clean and your shave will be smooth and smooth.
NuSonic Face and Body Cleansing Tool can be used with your favorite shower or cleanser or try one from Skinn Cosmetics; they have great ones.
You will enjoy three speeds on your NuSonic Face and Body Cleansing Tool as well as the 5 color coded cleansing heads. From a soft, gentle cleanse to a deeper clean for your face and body! The heads are easy to pop on and off your Nusonic tool. I keep my cleansing heads in a shower basket for easy cleaning and drying.
My recommendation: The cleansing heads feel different on each body part so remember to bring the cleansing heads in the shower or bath with you for quick changing.
You can purchase a NuSonic on www.skinn.com.

Warm Weather Beauty Prep from Spruce & Bond
Warm weather has finally arrived, and it’s time to start showing off some skin. Head to Spruce & Bond, the chic go-to hair removal destination, to start the season off right.
Even if you do not have a Spruce & Bond just yet in your area, check out these expert tips from Spruce & Bond Specialist Keiann Roberts before heading to your next wax appointment:
– Make sure your hair is at least a quarter of an inch long. If your hair is too short, the wax may have a hard time gripping the hair. At Spruce & Bond, hard wax is used for more sensitive areas and soft wax for other areas. This wax is patented and exclusive to Spruce & Bond, specially formulated to grip hair and not skin, helping with less ingrowns and less irritation.
– Don’t shave in between appointments. This can lead to the possibility of ingrown hair and irritation to the skin. Shaving will exacerbate the problem, causing uneven hair re-growth in-between waxing sessions as well.
– Don’t exfoliate before your appointment. The wax itself will exfoliate while removing unwanted hair.
– After 48 hours, gently exfoliate the waxed area once every few days to fend off ingrowns.
– Don’t do anything physical after you leave like go to the gym. Tight workout clothes and movement can irritate the area, creating unwanted redness.
– Get your wax at least 48 hours prior to going in the sun. This skin may be more susceptible to sunburn so it’s important to avoid sun, and be sure to lather up with SPF on a daily basis.

How to Look Slim In Indian Outfits?
Generally, every woman will desire to flaunt a slimmer figure. As everyone is not naturally blessed with a slim body, you are required to take some efforts for looking slim. You may hit the gym or maintain a proper diet, but sometimes all your efforts may go to vain. But, you should not worry! Here are some simple tricks that will make you appear slimmer in the Indian outfits.
Look Glamorous In Sarees: You must be careful of the drape and the fabric while flaunting your saree. Try to avoid heavy fabrics like cotton, silk, organza etc. which can add more volume in your body. For creating an illusion of a slimmer body, you can go for georgette, crepe, chiffon etc. If you possess some extra flab around your stomach and waist, you should not go on tucking a large number of pleats at your navel. Try to spread and adjust them all along the waist so that the fabric volume will not focus at a single place.
Careful with Blouses: After you have gathered some knowledge about what sarees will suit you best, you must take care of the blouses. To hide a heavy bust area, you can go for printed blouse instead of embellished or embroidered ones. The lightweight logic can be applied here as well. If you possess heavy arms, try to avoid sleeveless blouses and go for quarter sleeved blouses. When you plan for a lehenga choli, try to keep all the same factors in mind. Make sure that the choli is long enough for covering your waist.
Play with Salwar: Try playing with your bottom wear. Here the fitting logic is slightly different. You should go for slim fit bottoms instead of the loose ones. The long anarkali salwar kameez will surely look glamorous if you choose the bottom properly. You can really create a magic by choosing narrow Salwar and it will surely make your waist appear smaller than your actual one. Sometimes, it may provide a look of a stylish trouser and can even be flaunted with a shirt. But you should be careful about the fabric when you are opting for churidaar. It should never be a body hugging fabric. Instead you can go for the fabric that never stretches. Cigarette pants can also be one of the trendy alternatives for you. These are simply loose trousers which are made up of lightweight fabric. You can flaunt those pants with long kurtas and look stylish and elegant.
Have Fun With Kurtas: You should avoid the body hugging kurtas as they will put more emphasis on your heavy body. You can go for a bit loose ones. Be sure that the material of the loose kurtas is not very clingy in nature. The best option of the fabric can be the cotton ones. When your thighs and hips are heavy, make sure that the long kurtas are hiding those parts of your body as well. You should always flaunt slightly loose kurtas instead of very loose ones.
Color and Accessories: Ensure that you are choosing the right color and the accessories for a slimmer look with Indian outfits. Even if you are not actually slim, the dark colors create illusion and can easily hide your problem areas. Among the accessories, sleek bangles and bracelet watches will make you look slimmer. Try to avoid heavy neckpieces and flaunt your earrings with style!
When you are looking glamorous with Indian outfit, add the right footwear and style your hair properly to complete the look. If you want a slim effect, let your hair be loose instead of tying them up.
