Make Your Own: Tutti-Frutti Eyeshadow

Anastasia Friscia — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:14:18 +0000

Colorful eyeshadow is making a comeback! Or so every women’s magazine is saying. But does it look good on a real person?

To find out, I tested out the tangerine and electric blue shades recommended in Nylon. I copied their models’ makeup exactly, even using the CoverGirl eye shadow palette featured in their spread. I purchased the brand’s four-shade Tropical Fusion, around $5 at drugstores. The eye shadow itself took about three minutes to apply—the broad, cartoonish strokes were easy to copy. But I also had to spend more time than usual on my foundation and hair. With eye makeup like this, the rest of you has to be pulled-together, or you’ll look like a particularly whimsical bag lady.

Then I went out for the day to see what people would think. Friends’ reactions ranged from “You look like Lady Gaga” to “You’re wearing too much…of everything.” I expected some stares on the subway, or at least some creative catcall incorporating Rainbow Brite on my Brooklyn street, but most people were either too polite or—more likely—too jaded to react.

Also worth noting: at night, this makeup is not nearly as bright. In a bar, a friend thought I was wearing smoky gray eye shadow. Try a different, more vibrant color if you need to stand out at the club.

On last night’s America’s Next Top Model finale, the two finalists, Nicole and Laura, did the traditional CoverGirl commercial and photo shoot. Both girls did a great job, with Laura shining in the commercial and Nicole putting out a stronger performance in the print ad.

Below are the girls’ ads! Which do you like better?

Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl Episode Twelve

Here is the final My Life As a Covergirl commercial that Saleisha Stowers did. It’s actually one of her better commercials, she looks and feels more natural in front of the camera. It’s almost too bad that the commercials are over.

What will new Top Model winner, Whitney Thompson’s, commercials be like?

Whitney’s Covergirl commercial isn’t bad at all. She read the lines really clearly. I just wish that she had more personality. You know, if Tyra ever admitted that the Top Model winner was a spokesperson with a cause, and not a true top model, Whitney’s win would make so much more sense.

I wonder what her My Life As a Covergirl commercials are going to be like!

Video: ANTM 10.12: Fatima’s Covergirl Commercial

Fatima is trying so hard during her Covergirl commercial, but it comes across as rush and stiffed! If she had only slowed down and remembered to breathe, it would have been a much better commercial!

It’s not that bad, though. I wonder why all three finalists struggled so much with the commercial. I don’t remember a cycle when the final commercial(s) were this bad. But then, a lot of the final commercials starred all three finalists and were spliced together. I wonder why they changed it.

Video: ANTM 10.12: Anya’s Covergirl Commercial

Erin Balser — Fri, 16 May 2008 10:47:50 +0000

The first time I watched this commercial, I thought it was a train wreck. But after watching it again, I realize the judges were right. While Anya‘s line read was definitely the worst, she was the most natural and most comfortable in front of the camera.

Still, I don’t think Anya is going to get lots of spokesperson jobs anytime soon. I hope she manages to jumpstart a successful high fashion career!

Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl Episode Eleven

Erin Balser — Sat, 10 May 2008 12:06:02 +0000

Here is the eleventh installment of Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl. Honestly, I’m glad Saleisha’s reign is coming to and end. Her commercials never felt natural, always forced.

I love how in this one, she says “I used…” when referring to the makeup she wore on the runway. Now, I’m pretty sure that she didn’t write the lines herself, but it’s still a small oversight, considering most fashion shows have teams of makeup people.

Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl Episode Ten

Erin Balser — Sun, 04 May 2008 14:40:15 +0000

Here is the tenth edition of Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl commercials. They’ve all been pretty boring so far, she’s so stiff!

Who out of this cycle would have the best Covergirl commercials? If their Italian Covergirl commercials were any indication, Anya‘s would be delightful incoherent, Dominique‘s would be hilariously ghetto fabulous, Whitney‘s would be an uber-fake pageant queen and Fatima‘s would be like those late-night phone chat commercials.

Whose would you want to watch the most week-to-week?
