This trick is great for opening up the eyes (by reflecting light) and making you look more awake--even though the color almost matches the skin, its warm undertones offset the blueness often found under the skin at the inner corners of the eyes. Makeup artists have also told me this trick is great for women with very wide-set eyes, as the shimmer at the inner corners subtly brings attention more toward the center of the face.
Depending on your skintone, you could use a shimmery white, champagne, peach or deep bronze eye pencil or powder to get the effect. Some pencils that I hear work well: Avon Big Color Eye Pencil in Vanilla, Benefit Eye Bright and Stila Kajal Eye Liner in PearlThursday, February 18, 2010

Gretchen Wilson, Sony Music Nashville go their separate ways at Tune In Music City
News came through Tuesday that country voice Gretchen Wilson has officially parted ways with her label Sony Music Nashville, in what was described in an Associated Press report as a “mutual decision.”
The AP recounts a statement from Sony noting that “while Wilson will no longer record for the label as a solo artist, both parties look forward to working together on catalog projects.”
The biz split likely comes as little surprise to fans who’ve been waiting for Wilson’s now-long-delayed fourth LP, I Got Your Country Right Here. After numerous delays, Wilson told fans at this June’s CMA Music Festival that the set would be out soon, though a specific release date still hadn’t been announced prior to the Sony/Wilson split news coming to light.
A single from that set, “If I Could Do It All Again,” however, is already available.
