But last night at the Met’s Costume Institute Gala she nailed the whole modern ’60s thing in a way that’s enough to make me want go blonde. The feathered Gucci dress and tight body don’t hurt either, but let’s talk about the one thing we can all have: those killer cat eyes. Now before you go and shut down at the thought of liquid eyeliner, please note that there was none involved. In fact, all it took was little NARS Pandora Duo Eyeshadow. You can re-create the look by using an angled brush to line eyes with the black power. When you reach the outer corner, build it out slightly into a triangle. Then, dab the inner corners of eyes with the white powder for a brightening effect. Voilà—you’re channeling Brigette Bardot. I should add that Bank’s glowing peach cheeks are courtesy of NARS Amour Blush, a fantastic alternative to bronzer, especially for you fair-skinned lasses. And the pale nude lips? NARS Bettina Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, which you may recall from yesterday’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide!

Per a much earlier post, I selected Fresh products for my mom's Mother's Day parcel...I also talked Stacey into another of your favorites, the Fresh tinted lip balm (Rose). Your blog has been an invaluable source of good info - thanks! I recently purchased some of the Orgasmic Nars cosmetics and LOVE them!
