A quick excerpt & photo below (because it’s late, I’m tired, and I’ll be damned if I have to come up with more unnecessary words).
With the 2012 Pantone Color of the Year being the bold, punchy Tangerine Tango, Spring and Summer are the easiest times of the year to wear it. Compared to 2011′s Honeysuckle (a dark, vibrant pink), I’ve been finding the orange hues of Tangerine Tango harder to get away with – it’s a very obvious, stark colour on my complexion, and the saturation makes it difficult to integrate it into the rest of a makeup look.
A quick tutorial on adding natural-looking colour for everyone from the chronically ill to just the mildly hungover. (Hey, I’ve been both. And unfortunately, I can therefore guarentee that the same principles more or less apply.) (Think about that the next time you go out drinking. Man.)
Read it here.
A ramble/tutorial about hair loss, wigs, and faking it* here.
Plus, a few gifs (which were turned into PNGs on the She Said Beauty site) -
This last one’s relevant to all of our interests, because (let’s be honest), sparse lashes and brows aren’t just a problem for people on chemo drugs. A before and after with super-natural (supernatural!) brow penciling + black liner in the lash line itself, rather than just above or below it:
–
*”It” being lashes and brows, that is. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Sorry theNotice itself has been lacking in looks recently – but, hey, one a week on SSB is way more than the norm! (Because, okay, I’m kind of lazy busy.) For those of you who haven’t been clicking through: it’s the same quality of photos, the same face, and the same aesthetic, just… with the added bonus of a written tutorial. So get clicking, my silly geese!
(In other news: I’m still ridiculously excited that I can take photos after the sun’s gone down, and not have to turn on my flash. It’s hell to explain, though, which is why the tutorial has been MIA as well – video on it soon, potentially! It really just depends how easy/hard that would be to organize, but we’ll see.)
