Question of the Week: In honor of Prince, share with us your all-time favorite purple makeup product (and your all-time favorite Prince song).

EauMG’s Answer: First off, I’m not taking this very well. It’s just so shocking. Like most people, I’m a mega Prince fan. I love all the Princes. So asking me about a song, that’s hard. I’m actually that group that likes really early Prince (like pre-Controversy) and the newer stuff

February 25, 2011

1930's blonde actress Joan Blondell

So, this photo is rouged to heck and I can’t get a similar look without doing the same, but I still like the makeup look. It’s a playful look that works for light to medium complexions. Here’s what I did to get a 1930’s Joan Blondell inspired look:

FACE: Being rouged, the face is quite “cakey”. With my fingers, I applied Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation in Nude. People like to use a buffer brush with this foundation, I… Continue reading
