How to Create the Perfect Cat Eyeliner

Here’s how to do it in three super simple steps.

1. Put concealer on to your eyelids which makes your eyeshadow adheres

2. Black liquid liner—sweep the liner all the way from the inner corner of the upper eyelid to the outer
corner as close to the lash line as possible, staring with a thin line and going thicker as you move along.

3. Create a little “wing” at the outer corner of the eye, drawing the line up and out. Repeat until you get the desired effect. Let dry, curl your lashes and apply several coats of black mascara.

And here’s a tip: Make sure to keep the rest of your makeup neutral to avoid looking overdone.

This Popular Moisturizer Applied to Mice for 17 Weeks Got 69% More Tumors

A study has found that topical applications of moisturizers such as Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin Original Moisturizing Cream, or Vanicream could increase skin cancer risk.

Irradiated mice who were treated with the moisturizers exhibited a significant increase in their rate of tumor formation and increase in tumor size per mouse. Treatment of the mice with Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin, or Vanicream for 17 weeks increased the total number of histologically characterized tumors by 69 percent.

According to the study, as reported by Green Med Info:

“The results indicate that several commercially available moisturizing creams increase the rate of formation and number of tumors when applied topically to UVB-pretreated high-risk mice. Further studies are needed to determine the effects of topical applications of moisturizing creams … in humans.”

This also applies to tanning oils and lotions—which many of you may be using right now with summer in full swing—as well as the baby oil or lotion that many parents unwittingly slather on their babies.
