Which brushes to use?

Throw away the sponge-tip applicators that come with eye shadows and never use your fingers. Brushes provides a natural and even application using less product. 

The following brushes have been recommended by make up artists all over the world:

An all-over shadow brush for light, highlighting base colors

A small to medium shader brush for lid colors

A rounded crease brush to line the crease, lash line and to apply intense colors

A blending brush to soften the shadows

How to apply Eye shadows

1st step

Apply the lightest color using the all-over brush, starting from the lash line up to the brow bone.   Soften with the blender brush (this is a very important step as it blends away any harsh lines).

2nd step

Using the shader brush, apply the lid color from the lash line to just below the crease. Avoid extending past the crease to prevent color from looking too harsh.  Use the blender brush to soften both colors.

3rd step
Using the rounded crease brush, apply the contour shade (the darkest one) last and sparingly! Start at the outer corners of the eye and make an inverted “V” shape – line the lash line and the crease of the eye slowly working inward to the middle of the eye. Again soften color with the blender brush.

Always start with a light application and add more color accordingly. These tips will help prevent even the most dramatic shadow colors from looking harsh.

Alice Ritter my childhood friend moved to New York 10 years ago to follow her now husband. Her story is a real American story.

She bought her first sewing machine 9 years ago and decided to follow her dream of becoming a fashion designer. She took night classes to learn sketching, tore appart vintage clothes to learn pattern-making and read as much as she could about fashion. She was soon making one of a kind handmade and homemade pieces for a Brooklyn base boutique which sold out within weeks of arrival.

Her Spring/Summer 07 collection for UPS - Delivering fashion's future in september 2006 was a great success which saw her outpout grow three and a half time. She know sells all over the world.

Alice is currently ascending up the fashion industry ladder, known as New York best kept secret, she is the epitome of what it means to follow your passion.

You can see her new Fall 07 collection and more by loggin on www.aliceritter.com

Below some reviews on her Fall collection:

"February 2, 2007 -- For a relative newcomer, Ritter exercised polish and sophistication at her show at Gramercy's Players Club. The intricate pleats, folds and careful manipulation of her fabrics would have made Tim Gunn proud (while a pair of silk ruffled knickers would have sent Michael Kors screaming about an overcrowded harem). Still, when Ritter stuck to her mainstay, dresses, she wowed the crowd, incorporating fanciful details like an Edwardian-style collar and demure pockets. The rich jewel-toned palette was offset by the season's seemingly immortal look: opaque black tights."
New York Post - Fashion Week

"Alice Ritter, one of our favorite up-and-coming designers. Her collection is already way popular with fashion insiders. That’s not so surprising considering Ritter hasn’t yet appreciated to couture value. Amenities — er, styles — include cropped ruffles (bolero coats), balloon sleeves (tops), collegiate pins (blazers), and tartans with snaps (school skirts). So on point with fall and winter trends, this stuff is as hot as a 3BR w/ W/D & pvt rftp."
Daily Candy - New York Edition

"Showing fitted, cropped Edwardian-style jackets, gathered and flounced button-front shirts, and jumper-style dresses in focused patterns with cinched bottoms, Alice Ritter sent out a sweet darling of a collection that made it easy to see why she’s become a fashion insider’s favorite. With models clad in thick, plush leggings, Ritter made use of accordion pleats on almost every sort of garment she showed, from an eggplant-hued, bow-bedecked boatneck dress to a simple silver silk chemise top gathered at the butterfly-style sleeves. Ritter’s got a knack for producing polished pieces that work well together or worn as separates, so much so that the voluminous ruffled blouse tucked under a classic black tailcoat could just as well have stood on its own."
