. I particularly liked some of the soft pastel eye shadows that the makeup artist used on my eyes. The sheer shades that are easy to layer look beautiful on the eyes (and you can layer more for evening intensity). I also liked the new LASHBLAST volume blasting mascara by cover girl (the orange tubes in the photo) that has a patented volume-boosting formula and a patent-pending brush that helps make lashes thick, long, and non-clumping. Lucky party-goers got a sample in their gift bags. I also learned to apply liquid eye liner on my hand, and then apply it with a flat liner brush (the type you’d usually use for powder liners) because it gives a softer but still waterproof line–a bonus I took away from my visit to the Cover Girl lounge.
