When talking about eye makeup, smokey doesn’t mean a smoke color. Smokey means the technique in which you use to apply your eyeshadows. So, when you think of a smokey eye look, it’s the look where the eyes are framed fairly heavily with a darker eyeshadow, which could be done in brown, plum, black, grey, mauve, blue, green, etc.

Brigitte Bardot is so much more than just an actress, singer, and model. She was know in the 50’s and 60’s as being one of the most gorgeous, glamorous women of all time. While her status as a “sex symbol” lasted through the decades, her looks changed a bit with the style throughout the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. So, Katarina Van Derham created tutorials showcasing each of Bardot’s timeless looks. Be sure to watch all three below and tell us which look is your favorite of the three.

Katarina Van Derham has been creating a series of makeup tutorials that showcase the looks of famous classic beauties. From Ursula Andress to Sharon Tate to Brigitte Bardot, these tutorials are definitely something that you don’t want to miss.

I’ve been a vegan for 23 years now, and I get so excited seeing more and more cruelty free and vegan brands coming out. I continue to adjust my lifestyle and beauty routine to include many new brands. So, you’ll see me going through different lines because I love them. I don’t get paid commission to talk about these brands, I just feel compelled to talk about them because of my love for these products.

While there are many different ways to create wavy hair looks, today I am going to show you one of my favorites. The thing that makes this tutorial so different is the angle in which I am curling the hair. In the past, I have curled my hair with a 1.5-inch curling iron in a flat, horizontal angle. Today, I am curling my hair with the same 1.5-inch size but with the angle of the curl different. By keeping the curling iron at a diagonal angle (close to vertical but not fully), the look I create comes out completely different.

As a woman, there are certain things you want to do to maintain your aesthetic beauty, and like many of us out there, may not know exactly how. I’m sure quite a few of us need some quality instruction from time to time, and unfortunately, that can be hard to come by. We get tutorials on how to achieve certain looks, but not exactly a breakdown of very important steps that could really put a cramp in our beautification process. I’ve determined the four beauty skills that every woman should have, and I am letting you in on the instructions you’ve been missing!

I am thrilled to announce that the 90’s glam hairstyle is a sexy, current trend. It’s back, and it is better than ever!

Women are going away from the heavy “Instagram-type” foundation, which is caked on with extreme highlighting and contour, and heading to a natural look with their foundation. That’s right, a natural makeup base is in! Stop hiding your natural beauty and, instead, enhance it!

We have been seeing florals patterns and prints consecutively for quite a few seasons now, and the forecast states that they are not going anywhere. Transitioning from spring, to summer, then even into winter, the beloved floral trend continues.

Now crossing over into the world of beauty, florals are inspiring beauty gurus everywhere, including Katarina Van Derham. Today is the launch of her limited edition “Glamour Garden” lipstick collection in collaboration with global cosmetic brand LA Splash Cosmetics! This 4 color liquid lipstick collection consists of long lasting original colors inspired by her glamorous life and her love for cruelty-free beauty. You will find these buttercream scented shades inside a gorgeous floral print treasure keepsake box complete with a mirror, and a personal inspirational quote designed by Katarina herself.

Katarina has been in the beauty industry for many years, playing roles both in front of, and behind the camera. As a model, she grace the cover of over 60 magazines worldwide, and has appeared in over 600 major media outlets. As a well respected beauty specialist, she has glammed up many celebrities, and has been invited to judge many pageants and beauty contests around the world.

Being a vegan for 20 years, Katarina feels very passionate about changing the ways of the beauty industry and promoting a cruelty-free world. Navigating around what products are cruelty-free and not can be a challenge for anyone who is passionate about this cause. So, Kat started her line of 100% human hair eyelashes called, “KAT lash” and she was excited to break the trend of Mink eyelashes. She believes that no woman is truly beautiful unless she has a heart.
