Where There's Smoke, There's Fire

For those of you dying for more New Year's Eve beauty tips, here is a quick, stripped down take on the smoky eye.I tried this out last night on a whim, and was extremely pleased with the results. This look is as easy as fingerpainting in the bathtub, but the results are very Taylor Momsen-esque.1. Smudge a black eyeshadow across your eyelids with your fingers. One sweep for each eye should do. It should look grey-ish on your skin.2. Smudge a dark, grey metallic eyeshadow across your eyelids again...

New Year's Eve Makeup Tips: Do's and Don'ts

BEAUTY DO'S1. Do wear makeup that you feel comfortable in...but don't be afraid to branch out and wear a daring combination of shades.2. For a polished and easy look, focus on just one area: lips, eyes or cheeks.3. If you always wear the latest trends, try either dark wine or fire engine red lipstick shades. These colors are hot.4.

Eyeshadow Government Photo Booth: Zineb

Last night, Eyeshadow Government visited Times Square, and met a gaggle of lipstick-ed, luscious-ed, and generally dazzling ladies at Sephora (details later!).On the outskirts of the posse, I espied Zineb, 22, who hails from Casablanca, Morocco.

Perhaps it was only natural to meet such a gorgeous person at the crossroads of the world.This is her post-makeover, but I don't think that she needs a lick...

Orlando Bloom for Boss Orange: Don't Change a Thing About Yourself

Sometimes Eyeshadow Government's boy-checking-out skills are lacking. We like boys. But historically, we have gone out on dates with boys who were major "eye candy," and didn't even know it.

Beauty Inspiration: Inge Grognard

Inge Grognard is one of the most incredible makeup artists working today, and I am dying to talk to her.I recently stopped short after seeing an image of her work in the book "Belgian Fashion Design" (Ludion Ghent-Amsterdam, 1999), edited by Luc Derycke and Sandra van de Veire.

The lashes curved and arced in every direction,...

A Plea for Tolerance

But this year, homophobic comments flew out of the mouths of too many high-profile figures and sometimes their kin. Rappers did it. Teenage girls did it....
