An easy last minute beauty idea for New Year's eve... Head to a pharmacy or local Sephora and pick up a shimmery gold eyeshadow for a subtle touch of sparkle. This would go great with a burgundy lipstick and just a hint of mascara. If you want go for a bolder eye, add eyeliner, layer on more mascara and keep the lips bare/nude.

UPSIDE DOWN CAT-EYE

ph: Vogue UK

Loving the beauty looks from the Versace F/W 2012 show.
I'm really into the dramatic under-eye detail-- it's kind of like an upside down cat-eye.
With the blunt short bangs, it's very Rooney Mara/Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, no?
