    The look calls for radiant skin, so choose a luminous foundation and go easy on the face powder.

  • Step One: Amber Eye Shadow

    Step One: Amber Eye Shadow

    Use a small flat brush to press an amber gold eye shadow into your lid. Apply it all over, and then carry the shadow down along your lower lash line. We’re using the copper shade from Kevyn Aucoin’s The Eyeshadow Duo ($42) in 204.

  • Step Two: Garnet Eye Shadow

    Smoke out the eye shadow with a darker shade in the outer corners and along the lash line. We’re using Garnet from Lorac’s Pro Palette ($42).

  • Step Three: Waterline Eyeliner

    Step Three: Eyeliner

    Define your eyes by smudging brown eyeliner into your upper lash line, concentrating on the outer corners. To add a bit of drama, line your waterline with a rich brown eye pencil. To make sure it stays in place all night long, use a waterproof formula like this Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil ($20) in Whiskey.

  • Step Four: Soft Pink Blush

    For the cheeks, apply a generous dusting of a pale pinky-peach blush. We’re using Chanel’s Joues Contraste Powder Blush ($45) in Innocence.

  • Step Five: Oxblood Lipstick

    The finishing touch? A statement lip. Choose a warm, deep red like oxblood to complement the golden look. Andersen recommends applying dark colors like this Avon Ultra Color Bold Lipstick ($8) in Bold Bordeaux with a lip brush for better control.

  • Done!

Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird.

Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects.
