Glamour Magazine; Backstage with The Rockettes

When an article can send me running to buy something, you know it’s good. The Girls in the Beauty Department over at Glamour Magazine spent some time backstage with The Rockettes who shared their secret weapons that keep their makeup looking flawless through long performances.

Of course they love Smashbox Photo Finish Primer (who doesn’t?) but they also use a mascara I’d never even heard of, and a $5 lip primer that makes your lipstick last for hours.

You’ll find their secrets HERE.

I’m painfully addicted to these best of lists mags put out at the end of each year, I like to see what different readers and editors think is the very best in beauty. Shape’s list has some lines we aren’t used to seeing like Shiseido, along with a great deal of natural and drugstore lines.

Wearing Bold Eyeshadow

Take a que from Jessica Stroup who found a way to use a bold shadow in a beautifully understated way. Black eyeliner is key here, drawn around the entire eye to separate her eyes from the color making it less edgy. You don’t want colors competing, so avoid additional eye shadow which might cloud the statement and look too heavy.
