Shout Out I Heart Makeup: Ice Ice Baby

I Heart Makeup is our source for all things Indian and beauty related in the community. Her coverage of India Fashion Week inspired us to explore it right here on Coutorture. Today she is showcasing a more unusual trend that we often think of as being reserved for very Blond women from the South. We are talking about frosty eyes! I Heart Makeup is seeing it on Bollywood stars.
This actually got us inspired because really who couldn't use a little bit of fun with some frosty looks? She suggests NARS Duo Eyeshadow Cream in Thebes but we think that Vincent Longo's Wet Diamond Eyeshadow is how we would play it. This creamy soft, full color eye powder with light reflective pearls is perfect for playing with the new frosty Bollywood starlet looks. Applied dry a sheer veil affect brightens the eyes if you want to go a little more subtle. When applied wet it turns into a shimmering cream that lasts for hours without creasing. We suggest White Sparkle or Jewel 69 for the ultimate fun and frosty looks. Its not just for Texans or Sorority girls anymore! And just because we are feeling funky on Monday we decided to share our favorite old school Bollywood routine Jaan Pehechaan Ho. Underneath the masks we are betting these lovely ladies have frosted eyes. Check Out More Shoutouts Here

The Emerald Isles

The full blooms of Spring are right around the corner, so we couldn't help falling in love with Vincent Longo's Wet Diamond Eyeshadow in Verite. The Wet Diamond Eyeshadows are designed to range from a buildable sheer when applied dry to a dazzling rich hue when applied wet. Verite, a vibrant emerald, is the perfect choice for celebrating nature's return.

To use Wet Diamond Eyeshadow for maximum color payoff, simply dampen your eyeshadow brush and apply. If using another brand, be sure the shadow you're using is approved for wet use.
