How to Achieve the Perfect Glittering Peepers

Dec 6, 2012 @ 6:00 pm

We love all that glitters—but let’s face it, sometimes sparkling peepers can be more painstaking than we’d like. We caught up with celebrity makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan, who has worked with the likes of Kate Bosworth and Leighton Meester, to get tips on how to master gleaming eyes. Before layering your favorite brilliant hue, Deenihan suggests starting with an eyeshadow primer to avoid flaking. “Be careful with glitter,” Deenihan warns, as it could get messy. “When done right, it can illuminate the eye and make it appear larger when catching the light.” When applying a powder, like Bobbi Brown’s Powder Pearl Eye Trio ($46, bobbibrown.com), be sure to pat the loose glitter onto lids as opposed to swiping and smearing. Want an even more vibrant shade for an evening look? Deenihan suggests dampening the sponge for a long-lasting, intense hue.

Dec 6, 2012 @ 4:20 pm

Drew Barrymore and husband Will Kopelman welcomed their daughter Olive into the world just ten weeks ago, and it’s clear that she’s smitten! “I exercise my right every second of every day to make her laugh and smile,” the actress told Ellen Degeneres on her talk show. “She’s a really happy baby.” The couple, who were married earlier this year, shopped around for a few names for their tot before deciding on Olive, but when they knew, they just knew. “I never would have guessed that that would have been the name,” Barrymore says in the clip above. “But I was reading a book with my husband. I was three months pregnant and they said, ‘Your baby is size of an olive,’ and that was it! We never looked back.” Straight-forward and adorable—we love it! Watch the clip above to see the full interview!
