The 7 Biggest Eyeshadow Mistakes









Eyeshadow seems like the most straightforward makeup product—just
swipe on the lids and you’re done. However, with different pigments and
bold colors, we all make mistakes every now and again. We’ve compiled
the most common pitfalls, and of course, how to avoid them. 




1. Matching Your Eyeshadow to Your Eye Color

The common rule of thumb is that eye colors look best with eyeshadow
shades on the opposite side of the color wheel. For example, green eyes
look gorgeous with burgundy shadow, since red and green are
complementary colors. If you do want to a try a shade that’s similar to
your eye color, choose a muted one that won’t overshadow the iris.




2. Forgetting to Blend

Blending different colors—one or two on the lid and another on the brow
bone—creates a gorgeous finish. But if there is a harsh line between
each color, it looks sloppy and undone. Make sure to blend each shade
into the next with a shadow brush.




3. Using Applicators that Come with the Shadow

Most eyeshadows come with handy mini applicators, making it easy to
apply on the go. However, for a truly blended finish, you should use a
makeup brush. A sponge tip applicator provides a lot of pigment at once
while a brush allows you to gradually add product and blend as you go.




4. Applying Too Much Below the Eye

Be careful to dab shadow only on the lower lash line and not any farther
down. Any additional product drags down the look and makes the eye
appear tired.




5. Applying Eyeshadow After Concealer

Always apply your eyeshadow before your under eye concealer. If not, the
shadow will fall all over the eye area and undo all your hard work.
When dabbing concealer on the under eyes, place it just below the lower
lash line.




6. Using Shimmery Shadows on Aging Lids

Because of their light-reflecting properties, frosty shadows draw
attention to wrinkles and crepey lids. Leave the sparkly shades to
twenty-somethings and choose more flattering matte or satin finish
products instead.




7. Skipping Liner and Mascara

Eyeshadow doesn’t do it all; the eye also needs some contrast. Dark
mascara and eyeliner frame the shape (creating an outline) while the
shadow brightens and opens up the eye.

Paul Walker Biogarphy







Paul William Walker IV[4] (September 12, 1973 – November 30, 2013) was an American actor and the founder of Reach Out Worldwide. He became famous in 1999 after his role in the hit film Varsity Blues, but later garnered fame as Brian O'Conner in The Fast and the Furious film series. His other well known works are Eight Below, Running Scared, The Lazarus Project, Into the Blue, Joy Ride, She's All That, Takers, and Hours.







Early life


Walker, the son of Cheryl (née Crabtree), a fashion model, and Paul
William Walker III, a sewer contractor and a fighter who was a two-time Golden Gloves champion,[5] was born in Glendale, California.[6][7] His ancestry is mostly English, with smaller amounts of German, and possible Irish. His paternal grandfather was a professional boxer, born to English parents.[8][9][10] One of his grandfathers raced factory cars for Ford in the 1960s.[5] The oldest of five siblings, Walker was raised primarily in the Sunland community of Los Angeles and attended high school in the San Fernando Valley, graduating from Sun Valley's Village Christian School in 1991.[11][12] He was raised as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[6] After high school, Walker attended several community colleges in Southern California, majoring in marine biology.[13]



Career


Walker began his small screen career as a toddler, when he starred in a television commercial for Pampers. He began modeling at the age of two and began working on television shows in 1985, with roles in shows such as Highway to Heaven, Who's the Boss?, The Young and the Restless, and Touched by an Angel. That same year, he starred in a commercial for Showbiz Pizza.[14] Walker's film career began in 1986, with the horror/comedy film Monster in the Closet. He and his sister Ashlie were contestants on a 1988 episode of the game show I'm Telling!; they finished in second place. In 1993 he played Brandon Collins on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. He and his co-star Heather Tom,
who played Victoria Newman, were nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor
and Actress in a soap opera at the Youth in Film Awards. In 1998, Walker
made his feature film debut in the comedy Meet the Deedles, which finally gained him fame. This subsequently led to supporting roles in the movies Pleasantville (1998), Varsity Blues (1999), She's All That (1999), and The Skulls (2000).

In 2001, Walker's breakthrough role arrived when he starred opposite actor Vin Diesel in the successful action film The Fast and the Furious,
the first film in the franchise. The film established Walker as a
notable film star and leading man and led to his reprisal of the role in
the 2003 sequel 2 Fast 2 Furious. He continued his career with leading roles in films such as Joy Ride (2001), Into the Blue (2005), and Timeline (2003); he had a supporting role in Clint Eastwood's adaptation of Flags of Our Fathers (2006).


Walker then starred in the crime thriller Running Scared and Walt Disney Pictures' Eight Below, both released in 2006. Eight Below garnered critical-acclaim and opened in first place at the box office, grossing over US$20 million during its first weekend.[15] During the filming of Running Scared, director Wayne Kramer stated that "[Walker] is that guy on some level"[16]
when comparing Walker with his character in the movie, Joey Gazelle.
Kramer continued on to say that he "loved working with [Walker] because
as a director he's completely supportive of my vision of what the film
is. And even better, he's completely game for it."[16]


Walker starred in the independent film The Lazarus Project, which was released on DVD on October 21, 2008. He subsequently returned to The Fast and the Furious franchise, reprising his role in Fast & Furious, which was released on April 3, 2009.[17] Walker then appeared in the crime drama Takers, which began filming in early September 2008 and was released in August 2010.[18]


The Coty Prestige fragrance brand Davidoff Cool Water for Men announced in January 2011 that Walker was going to be the new face of the brand as of July 2011.[19] He reprised his role in the fifth installment of The Fast and the Furious series, Fast Five (2011), and again in Fast & Furious 6 (2013). Upcoming films in which Walker starred or appeared in due for release are Hours, set for release in December 2013, and Brick Mansions, set for release in May 2014. At the time of his death, Walker had been filming Fast & Furious 7, which was slated for release in July 2014.[20] He was also set to play Agent 47 in the Hitman film adaptation.[21]



Personal life


Walker lived in Santa Barbara with his dogs.[6][22] He and Rebecca McBrain,[23] a one-time girlfriend,[24] had a daughter[25] who lived with her mother in Hawaii for 13 years and then moved to California to live with Walker in 2011.[26] In 2007, Walker began dating 16-year-old Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell. Prior to his death, the couple had planned to marry. [27][28] He held a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Ricardo "Franjinha" Miller at Paragon Jiu-Jitsu[29] and was awarded with his black belt by Miller posthumously.[30]


Walker's first passion was marine biology; he joined the Board of Directors of The Billfish Foundation in 2006.[31] He fulfilled a lifelong dream by starring in a National Geographic Channel series Expedition Great White (later retitled Shark Men), which premiered in June 2010.[32][33] He spent 11 days as part of the crew, catching and tagging 7 great white sharks
off the coast of Mexico. The expedition, led by Chris Fischer, founder
and CEO of Fischer Productions, along with Captain Brett McBride and Dr.
Michael Domeier of the Marine Conservation Science Institute took
measurements, gathered DNA samples, and fastened real-time satellite
tags to the great white sharks. This allowed Dr. Domeier to study
migratory patterns especially those associated with mating and birthing
over a 5-year period of time.[34]


In March 2010, Walker went to Constitución, Chile to offer his help and support to the people injured in the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck on February 27. He flew with his humanitarian aid team, Reach Out Worldwide, to Haiti to lend a helping hand to the 2010 Haiti earthquake victims.[35]



An avid car enthusiast, he competed in the Redline Time Attack racing series in which he raced an M3 E92
and was on the AE Performance Team. His car was sponsored by Etnies,
Brembo Brakes, Ohlins, Volk, OS Giken, Hankook, Gintani, and Reach Out
Worldwide.[36] Walker had been preparing for an auto show prior to his death.[37]


Roger Rodas became Walker's financial adviser in 2007 and helped to establish Reach Out Worldwide.[38] Rodas was the CEO of Always Evolving, a Valencia high-end vehicle performance shop owned by Walker.[39] He shared a close friendship with his The Fast and the Furious co-star Tyrese Gibson.[40]



Death


On November 30, 2013, at approximately 3:30 p.m. PST, Walker and friend Roger Rodas, age 38, a former professional racer and who worked as Walker's financial adviser[41] left an event for Walker's charity Reach Out Worldwide for victims of Typhoon Haiyan[42][43] in Rodas' red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. The car crashed into a light pole and tree on Hercules Street, a 45 mph speed zone near Kelly Johnson Parkway in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, after which the vehicle burst into flames.[42][44][45][46][47] Authorities determined that Rodas was driving the car, while Walker was the passenger.[48] The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department declared both victims dead at the scene.[45][49]
Rodas died of multiple traumatic injuries, while Walker died from the
combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries, according to the Los Angeles county coroner's office.[48]


The curve where Walker and Rodas were killed is a popular spot for drifting cars.[50] Investigators believe the car reached at least 90 mph before the crash.[51] Police investigated as to whether drag racing played a role, but were unable to find evidence of a second car's involvement.[52]
Walker's family claims that reflectors on the road may have contributed
to the crash, claiming this particular kind of Porsche loses control if
it comes into contact with even the tiniest bumps in the road at high
speeds.[53]
Pieces of the car were stolen off the tow truck as the wreckage was
towed away on a flatbed. Two men were arrested for grand theft.[54]


With Fast & Furious 7
in the middle of filming at the time of Walker's death, Universal
announced an indeterminate hiatus on the production, citing a desire to
speak with his family before determining what to do with the film.[55] His brother, Cody Walker, was asked to be the stand-in to complete this film.[56] Numerous friends and movie stars have posted tributes to Walker on social media.[57] Two weeks after his death, Walker's ashes were buried in a non-denominational ceremony at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park.[58]

Emma Watson Biography







Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (born 15 April 1990) is an English actress and model. She rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series; she was cast as Hermione at the age of nine, having previously acted only in school plays.[2] She starred in all eight Harry Potter films, alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.[3] Watson's work on the Harry Potter series has earned her several awards and more than £10 million.[4] She made her modelling debut for Burberry's autumn/winter campaign in 2009. In October 2013, she was voted Sexiest Female Movie Star in a worldwide poll conducted by Empire magazine.[5]


In 2007, Watson announced her involvement in The Tale of Despereaux and the television adaptation of the novel Ballet Shoes, which was broadcast on 26 December 2007 to an audience of 5.2 million. The Tale of Despereaux, based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo, was released in 2008 and grossed more than US $86 million in worldwide sales.[6] In 2012, she starred in Stephen Chbosky's film adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and was cast in the role of Ila in Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic Noah.[7]

Early life and education


Emma Watson was born in Paris, France, the daughter of English lawyers Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson.[8][9][10]
Watson lived in Paris until the age of five. Her parents separated when
she was young; following their divorce, she moved with her mother and
younger brother to Oxfordshire, spending weekends at her father's house in London.[8][11] Watson has stated that she speaks some French, though "not as well" as she used to.[12]


After moving to Oxford with her mother and brother, Watson attended the Dragon School in Oxford, remaining there until 2003.[8] From the age of six, she wanted to become an actress,[13] and trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school where she studied singing, dancing, and acting.[14] By the age of ten, she had performed in various Stagecoach productions and school plays, including Arthur: The Young Years and The Happy Prince,[15] but she had never acted professionally before the Harry Potter series. Following the Dragon School, Watson moved on to Headington School.[8] While on film sets, she and her peers were tutored for up to five hours a day.[16] In June 2006, she took GCSE school examinations in ten subjects, achieving eight A* and two A grades.[8][17]



Career



1999–2003: Beginnings and breakthrough

In 1999, casting began for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States), the film adaptation of British author J. K. Rowling's best-selling novel. Casting agents found Watson through her Oxford theatre teacher,[13] and producers were impressed by her confidence. After eight auditions, producer David Heyman told Watson and fellow applicants Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint that they had been cast for the roles of the schoolfriends Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley respectively. Rowling supported Watson from her first screen test.[13]


The release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in
2001 was Watson's debut screen performance. The film broke records for
opening-day sales and opening-weekend takings and was the
highest-grossing film of 2001.[18][19] Critics praised the performances of the three leads, often singling out Watson for particular acclaim; The Daily Telegraph called her performance "admirable",[20] and IGN said she "stole the show".[21] Watson was nominated for five awards for her performance in Philosopher's Stone, winning the Young Artist Award for Leading Young Actress.[22]


A year later, Watson again starred as Hermione in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second instalment of the series. Reviewers praised the lead actors' performances. The Los Angeles Times said Watson and her peers had matured between films,[23] while The Times criticised director Chris Columbus for "under-employing" Watson's hugely popular character.[24] Watson received an Otto Award from the German magazine Bravo for her performance.[25]



2004–2011: Continued success with Harry Potter

In 2004, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
was released. Watson was appreciative of the more assertive role
Hermione played, calling her character "charismatic" and "a fantastic
role to play".[26] Although critics panned Radcliffe's performance, labelling him "wooden", they praised Watson; The New York Times
lauded her performance, saying "Luckily Mr. Radcliffe's blandness is
offset by Ms. Watson's spiky impatience. Harry may show off his
expanding wizardly skills ... but Hermione ... earns the loudest
applause with a decidedly unmagical punch to Draco Malfoy's deserving nose."[27] Although Prisoner of Azkaban proved to be the lowest-grossing Harry Potter
film of the entire series, Watson's personal performance won her two
Otto Awards and the Child Performance of the Year award from Total Film.[28][29][30]


With Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), both Watson and the Harry Potter film series reached new milestones. The film set records for a Harry Potter
opening weekend, a non-May opening weekend in the US, and an opening
weekend in the UK. Critics praised the increasing maturity of Watson and
her teenage co-stars; The New York Times called her performance "touchingly earnest".[31]
For Watson, much of the humour of the film sprang from the tension
among the three lead characters as they matured. She said, "I loved all
the arguing. ... I think it's much more realistic that they would argue
and that there would be problems."[32] Nominated for three awards for Goblet of Fire, Watson won a bronze Otto Award.[33][34][35] Later that year, Watson became the youngest person to appear on the cover of Teen Vogue,[36] an appearance she reprised in August 2009.[37] In 2006, Watson played Hermione in The Queen's Handbag, a special mini-episode of Harry Potter in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday.[38]








Watson at the premiere of Half-Blood Prince in July 2009



The fifth film in the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, was released in 2007. A huge financial success, the film set a record worldwide opening-weekend gross of $332.7 million.[39] Watson won the inaugural National Movie Award for Best Female Performance.[40] As the fame of the actress and the series continued, Watson and fellow Harry Potter co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint left imprints of their hands, feet and wands in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood on 9 July 2007.[41]


By July 2007, Watson's work in the Harry Potter series was said to have earned her more than £10 million, and she acknowledged she would never have to work for money again.[4] In March 2009, she was ranked 6th on the Forbes list of "Most Valuable Young Stars",[42] and in February 2010, she was named as Hollywood's highest paid female star, having earned an estimated £19 million in 2009.[43]


Despite the success of Order of the Phoenix, the future of the Harry Potter franchise
became surrounded in doubt, as all three lead actors were hesitant to
sign on to continue their roles for the final two episodes.[44] Radcliffe eventually signed for the final films on 2 March 2007,[44] but Watson was considerably more hesitant.[45]
She explained that the decision was significant, as the films
represented a further four-year commitment to the role, but eventually
conceded that she "could never let [the role of] Hermione go",[46] signing for the role on 23 March 2007.[47]

Watson's first non-Potter role was the 2007 BBC film Ballet Shoes, an adaptation of the novel of the same title by Noel Streatfeild.[48][49] The film's director, Sandra Goldbacher,
commented that Watson was "perfect" for the starring role of aspiring
actress Pauline Fossil: "She has a piercing, delicate aura that makes
you want to gaze and gaze at her."[50] Ballet Shoes was broadcast in the UK on Boxing Day 2007 to an audience of 5.7 million viewers, to mixed reviews.[51][52][53][54][55] Watson also lent her voice to the role of Princess Pea in the animated film The Tale of Despereaux, a children's comedy starring Matthew Broderick with Harry Potter co-star Robbie Coltrane (playing the character of Rubeus Hagrid) also starring in the film.[56]


Principal photography for the sixth film began in late 2007, with Watson's part being filmed from 18 December to 17 May 2008.[57][58] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiered on 15 July 2009,[59] having been delayed from November 2008.[60]
With the lead actors now in their late teens, critics were increasingly
willing to review them on the same level as the rest of the film's
all-star cast, which the Los Angeles Times described as "a comprehensive guide to contemporary UK acting".[61] The Washington Post felt Watson to have given "[her] most charming performance to date",[62] while The Daily Telegraph described the lead actors as "newly-liberated and energised, eager to give all they have to what's left of the series".[63] The Tale of Despereaux was released in December 2008 and grossed $87 million worldwide.[6] In December 2008, Watson stated she wanted to go to university after she completed the Potter series.[64]


Watson's filming for the final instalment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, began on 18 February 2009[65] and ended on 12 June 2010.[66] For financial and scripting reasons, the original book was divided into two films which were shot consecutively.[67][68] Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 was released in November 2010 while the second film was released in July 2011.


She also appeared in a music video for One Night Only, after meeting lead singer George Craig at the 2010 Winter/Summer Burberry advertising campaign. The video, "Say You Don't Want It", was screened on Channel 4 on 26 June 2010 and released on 16 August.[69] In her first post-Harry Potter film, Watson appeared in 2011's My Week with Marilyn as Lucy, a wardrobe assistant who has a few dates with the main character, Colin Clark.[70][71]



2012–present: Upcoming projects

In May 2010, Watson was reported to be in talks to star in a film adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower.[72] Filming began in summer 2011 and the film was released in September 2012.[73]


In The Bling Ring (2013), Watson stars as Nicki. The film is based on the real-life Bling Ring robberies, with Watson playing a fictionalized version of Alexis Neiers
- a television personality who was one of seven teenagers involved in
the robberies. While the film mostly received mixed reviews, critics
gave almost unanimous praise for Watson's portrayal of Nicki in the
film. Watson also had a supporting role in the apocalyptic comedy This Is the End (2013), where she played herself.


In June 2012, Watson was confirmed for the role of Ila in Darren Aronofsky's Noah, which began filming the following month for a March 2014 release.[7] In August 2012, she confirmed that she would begin filming Guillermo del Toro's Beauty and the Beast in the summer of 2013, ahead of a release in 2014.[74][75] In March 2013, it was reported that Watson was in negotiations to star as the titular character in a live-action Disney adaptation of Cinderella. Kenneth Branagh was attached to direct the adaptation, while Cate Blanchett had reportedly agreed the evil stepmother. Watson was offered the role, but turned it down.[76]


In 2012, Watson was attached to the role of Emma Forrest in a film adaptation of her memoir, Your Voice In My Head. At the time, Harry Potter director David Yates was attached. In a May 2013 interview, it appeared that Watson was no longer attached as the film's star Stanley Tucci stated that the role would instead be played by Emily Blunt.[77]
However by September 2013, it was confirmed that Watson was once again
involved in the production in the role of Forrest and that filming would
begin in November that year with a new director, Francesca Gregorini.[78]


As of June 2013, Watson is set to work with Harry Potter producer David Heyman for her next film Queen of the Tearling, based on a yet-to-be-released book trilogy. She will lead the film as heroine Kelsea Glynn as well as being an executive producer.[79] Warner Bros. will distribute the film.[80]


In September 2013, it was reported that Watson would star in While We're Young, the film adaptation of Adena Halpern's 2010 novel 29,
which focuses on a young-at-heart grandmother who would rather spend
time with her granddaughter (Watson) than her daughter. The film will be
directed by Stephen Chbosky, who Watson collaborated with on Perks of Being a Wallflower.[81] In October 2013, she was chosen as the Woman of the Year by GQ.[82]



Modelling


In 2008, the British press reported that Watson was to replace Keira Knightley as the face of the fashion house Chanel, but this was denied by both parties.[83] In June 2009, following several months of rumours, Watson confirmed that she would be partnering with Burberry as the face of their Autumn/Winter 2009 campaign, for which she received an estimated six-figure fee.[84][85] She also appeared in Burberry's 2010 Spring/Summer campaign alongside her brother Alex, musicians George Craig and Matt Gilmour, and model Max Hurd.[86] In February 2011, Watson was awarded the Style Icon award from British Elle by Dame Vivienne Westwood.[87] Watson continued her involvement in fashion advertising when she announced she had been chosen as the face of Lancôme in March 2011.[88]

In September 2009, Watson announced her involvement with People Tree, a Fair Trade fashion brand.[89] Watson worked as a creative advisor for People Tree to create a spring line of clothing, which was released in February 2010;[89][90] the range featured styles inspired by southern France and London.[90][91] The collection, described by The Times as "very clever" despite their "quiet hope that [she] would become tangled at the first hemp-woven hurdle",[92] was widely publicised in magazines such as Teen Vogue,[93] Cosmopolitan, and People. Watson, who was not paid for the collaboration,[94] admitted that competition for the range was minimal,[92]
but argued that "Fashion is a great way to empower people and give them
skills; rather than give cash to charity you can help people by buying
the clothes they make and supporting things they take pride in"; adding,
"I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the
humanitarian issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good
choices but there aren't many options out there."[92] Watson continued her involvement with People Tree, resulting in the release of a 2010 Autumn/Winter collection.[95]


Watson has appeared for six years running in men's magazine FHM's 100 Sexiest Women list. She first appeared in the list, voted for by readers, in 2007, placing 98th.[96] The following years saw her placed 33rd, 47th, 29th, 23rd and in 2012, 64th.[97]



Student and personal life


After leaving school, Watson took a gap year[98] to film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows beginning in February 2009,[68] but said she "definitely want[ed] to go to university".[64] The Providence Journal reported that Watson had confirmed that she had chosen Brown University, located in Providence, Rhode Island.[99] In March 2011, after 18 months at the university, Watson announced that she was deferring her course for "a semester or two."[100] Watson was a visitor student at Worcester College, Oxford for the 2011–12 academic year.[101]
