Beauty Solutions: Dark Eye Makeup

Contrast is one great way to play up your eye color—no matter what it is. The idea behind this makeup strategy is to provide a "background" for eye color that will help make it stand out. This is a particularly useful way to go about daytime makeup application since it involves using neutral colors, but it can be employed for evening wear as well. It also works great if you want to emphasize another feature, such as your lips.

Dark eye makeup tends to compete with eye color, so to contrast successfully, using a light shade often works better. Those with blue or green eyes may want to use a light brown color as an eyeshadow for contrast, while brown-eyed ladies may want to try a sweep of light green or blue to make eye color pop. Depending on your shade of eye color, some tones may draw out the hue more than others, so a little "trial and error" may be needed as well—you’ll know when you get it right!

Whatever Happened to Them Wednesdays: Customer Appreciation

Whatever happened to getting something for nothing.... remember the good ol' days when cosmetic companies actually cared about what you thought and gave great customer service? Nowadays, whenever you walk into a cosmetic/ beauty store, the first thing they'll ask is if you've signed up for their store credit card and rewards program (which rewards you a very low fraction on the dollar) - no "Hello"," how was your day", "how can I help you"...... zilch!

But wait, it gets better; when you ask for free samples the sales rep will look that at you as though you've just insulted her mother. Did they forget that we're still in this recession?!?! Why would I purchase a $50 foundation without sampling it out first. Whatever happened to beauty and cosmetic coupons that were worth more than free shipping? There's a lack of customer appreciation in the beauty retail world that's extremely ugly.

On the flip side, here's your something for nothing: Fashionwithfifi.com and Stila Cosmetics wants you to know that you're appreciated. Here's what you'll get:

A complimentary Stila Appreciation 24kt Luxe Lip Gloss with your purchase of $25 or more

........ And to add icing on the cake......

40% discount on all items at Stila Cosmetics from now until June 17, 2009 (simply enter promo code: Stila Pro at checkout)

Now if that's not customer appreciation I don't know what is?!!? Tell your family and friends just how much Fashionwithfifi.com and Stila loves you! Subscribe now to the Fashion Circle for more updates on deals like this.
