In theory, wearing both of our national colours on our lids might not seem like such a pretty idea. And in reality, it can often end up horribly wrong. But some celebrities have tried the look to impressive success. So, if you’re wanting to theme your eye makeup this Australia weekend, look no further for inspiration… For a… more

She’s Got the Midas Touch …

One might say shimmering gold beauty products are best reserved for the festive season, the red carpet and Saturday nights out on the town and, in most cases I would say this is a wise move, Primpettes.

Before we even think about giving Whitney Port a pat on the back for providing us with a beautiful daytime eye makeup idea, Primps, we must first say a massive thanks to our amazing Queen (that’s you, Elizabeth II) for being born, and consequently providing us with this sensational occurrence we call a public holiday…. more

Enough chatter, here’s to get your rock ‘n roll eyes on. Lara Stone looking cooler than an ice pack at the MTV and CK ONE… more

A dose of weekend inspiration: Emmy Rossum’s two-toned eye makeup

Fri, 8 April 2011 1:07PM

Before I get into all the makeup banter, I must point out that Emmy Rossum has marvellous hair.

It’s official, Primps: Jessica Alba has caused me to go gaga over pale gold eye shadow. She’s pretty powerful like that. And might I say, I’m pretty impressed with her timing. It is Christmas after all, and we all love a little shimmery makeup to crank the festive spirit into overdrive, don’t we? Damn sparkly… more
