Cut Grease - The Beauty Technique We Should All Try

There's a beauty technique that has been making the rounds on Youtube and the the term " Cut Grease " has been flying around social media so we thought we should investigate as to what "cut grease" actually is?! What is Cut Grease you might ask? Well it is the technique of using different coloured eye makeup to cut across the eyelid to form a sharp contrast in colours. This particular sharp cut is not blended, leaving it to form a clear crease on the eyelid. Many makeup enthusiasts online use neutral toned colours to make their eyes appear more open - this means all you need is a pair of Solotica coloured contact lenses to really make your eyes "pop". So how do you achieve this " Cut Grease " look and can anyone do it, sure thing. We've soured some of our favourite pro's who've created their Cut Grease look, take a little peak... 1. @nikkietutorials A post shared by NikkieTutorials (@nikkietutorials) on Dec 16, 20...

Why YOU Should Wear Black Too - Let's Talk About Women's Rights

You may be wondering why the red carpet at the Golden Globes was actually a sea of black? Well the reasoning behind why the red carpet was a sea of black was in support of women who stand up against the sexual misconduct in Hollywood. In recent months, there has been a lot of controversy around the depictions in the media and the accusations of many women towards the male treatment they were accustomed to whilst working in the film and media industry. Whilst there have been some heavy hitting male names in the industry who have been accused such as Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and most recently James Franco, there is little that has been said to what the ramifications will be to these men and the resolutions passed down to the women who they have mistreated. The Golden Globes this year took the fight Global with the #whywewearblack campaign. A public unity and declaration for willing participants to make the choice to stand up and speak out against the sexual misconduct...

Tabria Majors Is Well, Major - Redefining Social Beauty

Her name indicates it all, Tabria Majors is well, major! If you haven't heard of her yet, Tabria Majors is the woman responsible for changing the way Victorias Secret underwear defines the perception of beauty. She notoriously recreated some of the more recent Victoria's Secrets shoots wearing the underwear in a way that she would hope could "revisit the conversation of how average-sized women are represented in the mainstream media". She may not be the first to recreate a series of iconic portrayals of fashion in the media, but she is certainly the one making the headlines. Her depiction of the lingerie shoots has skyrocketed her to the front page of most social sites and blogs. A woman fighting to redefine the way in which women are both self- perceived and socially-perceived, now that's a woman we support. Check her out below and for more beauty and fashion news don't forget to head to www.eyesofsolotica.com A post shared by Tabria Majors ...
