The Eyes Have It

 The Eyes Have It

Once upon a time, the lips were having a field day.  Everyone wanted to find ways to love their lips.

And then COVID-19 happened, and masks became the style.

The lips were hidden.

Now, all the attention is back on the eyes.  Let’s talk about Mary Kay’s Liquid Eyeliner Pen.

First of all, I hate mess, especially messy eyeliner.  I also hate not being able to control my makeup, so it does what I want it to do.  Finally, I hate wearing masks… but that’s for another conversation.

Eyelashes are fantastic, and I love wearing fake ones.  I also love our different mascaras; they are able to build lashes from the bare minimum, like what I have.

There’s something really wonderful about a great liquid eyeliner, though. 

What we have is so easy to use, even Megan can use it, and she’s extremely near sighted!  It’s so easy to apply with its pen-like tip for ultimate control.  Those cat eye swoops have never been easier.

The color is a rich, dark black that doesn’t flake off.  The high-definition formula stays on all day.  Best yet, it’s waterproof, so go ahead and cry when your kids go back to school. The waterproof formula is perfect for drama-free wear.

Now that we’re wearing masks, making your eyes as expressive as possible is so important.  Wearing our waterproof eyeliner is a sure way to express yourself.

I recommend as companions to the purchase of our Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, is our Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, and our Lash Love Waterproof Mascara.

Until next time,

3 Tips on Getting the Best Snapshots During December

3 Tips on Getting the Best Snapshots During December

Ever wonder why your photos during the most wonderful time of the year don’t turn out as wonderfully as you thought they would?  Here are 3 tips on getting awesome photos with the camera on your phone!

 1.  Light is everything.  If you are in a lowlight setting, chances are your photographs are going to have noise, those pesky little red-blue-green dots that are scattered everywhere like glitter, but not as pretty.  The newest phones have pretty good settings for lowlight areas, but your best bet is to be in a well lit area.  Are you looking for a pretty shot of your sweet daughter holding a battery operated candle?  You’ll want to place her in an area that has ambient lighting, like near the holiday tree with lights, to be able to get the best effect.

2.  Get on the floor.  Getting on the floor with the kids at their eye-level will give you the most interesting photographs.  Seeing the room, the decorations, and other loved ones from their angle gives you a new perspective and helps you see things differently.

3.  Relax.  If you aren’t getting the photograph you want, change things up, and come back to it later.  Snacks and a drink will help any young’un revive and take the pressure off.

We hope that these three tips help you!  Making sure that you get all of the beautiful snapshots of your family during the holiday season will help you to remember it well.  The best way to enjoy them, though, is not on your phone or on Facebook; printing them in a fun album through www.mpix.com is one of many ways to enjoy your photographs.  Holding a printed photo, an actual, tangible representation of a moment that you love, is a much different experience than viewing them on a hand-held device.

Honey Bee Photography believes in the printed photograph.  No digital photograph can replace a print.  We do not receive any payment for mentioning mpix.com or any other consumer lab.
