We recently introduced two new Motives products (you may have already heard about them on Facebook), the Boxed Beauty ($29.95) and Compact Beauty ($21). Both of these versatile and travel-sized items feature EXCLUSIVE colors that are not individually available on the Motives website!
The Boxed Beauty and Compact Beauty not only help you take your look from day to night, but offer beautiful new shades that will enhance any skin tone.

Ladies, this season, it’s all about the brights! Rock your eye-popping pinks and violets for day, and vivid color combinations for evening. If you haven’t already checked out the new line of Motives® pressed pigments, I highly recommend them! They come in fierce shades that really make a statement! I like to wear pretty, summery shadows during the day, and then make my evening look pop even more with false lashes. Falsies and Motives® Lustrafy mascara create the most gorgeous, spidery lashes ever! Bright, bright mermaid inspired eye shadow and ultra-sexy, long lashes are SO hot this season.
Motives® Pressed Pigment Powders are highly pigmented powders that glide on easily for an intense color effect and haute couture look. Go bold this season — achieve the fun and flirty look above using colors from the Limited Edition Motives® 2009 Summer Collection.

Here’s an easy way to get edgy eye-makeup to complement all the rocker chic, leather-clad looks I’ve been blogging about lately!
Here’s What You will need:
-a sharpened medium grey pencil eyeliner (May I suggest Motives Kohl Eyeliner in Steel?)
-a matte medium grey powder eyeshadow (I like Motives pressed eyeshadow in Steel or Gun Metal for a more dramatic, evening look).
Technique:
1. Gently stroke the grey eyeliner pencil along your upper lid getting as close as possible to your lashline. You can vary the edginess of the look by extending the line out as far or as short as you wish.
2. With your Motives eyeliner brush, apply the eyeshadow powder in a line along your lower lashline, again getting as close as possible. Blend the product on both top and bottom lids into your lashline using your eye definer brush.
4. Curl your lashes and add two coats of Lustrafy mascara.
Forget all of the old-fashioned rules you’ve heard against wearing blue eye makeup. This season’s blue is bright, beautiful, and nowhere near outdated!
Celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Katie Holmes, Rihanna, and Beyonce are all great examples of ladies who know how to pull off the color. The key to this season’s sophisticated eye, is to wear it with a nude lip, and be sure to blend, blend, blend!
It’s also best practice to contrast your eye-color to your shadow/liner color–that way, your features won’t get lost in the mix. Blue-eyed beauties can pull this look off too; just be sure to select a shade of blue that’s different from your own.
Here are a few of my favorite Motives picks to help demonstrate the blue trend that we’re seeing:

Because gel eyeliner glides on so easily, it can be used to achieve Beyonce’s sleek, indigo cat-eye look. Plus, it contains mineral pigments to give your eyes that extra sparkle. In case you missed it, Motives gel eyeliner’s were recently featured on fashion magazine, Elle.com’s website.
Motives Rockstar Gel Eyeliner: $17.50
Besides gel eyeliners, the Motives Ol’ Blue Eyes Palette is another great piece to help you duplicate the blue trend that celebrities have been wearing. This palette contains a versatile shade of blues, along with complementing colors that will make your eyes really pop.
Motives Ol’ Blue Eyes Palette: $35
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this beauty trend. And feel free to share your favorite tips and tricks with me!
