Makeup Trend / Smokey Cat Eye

We are loving this step by step tutorial by Bazaar Magazine on how to re-create the smokey cat eye, check it out.

The Inspiration:
January Jones at the 2012 Emmy Awards

With the season of festivities about to kick off, it’s time to give your makeup a kick as well. The new smoky cat eye makes a statement all on its own, as January Jones proves, and is “both pretty and sexy,” says makeup pro Bobbi Brown. Here, Brown gives us five steps for creating the smudged-and-smoldering effect. Just add a swipe of soft lipstick to finish off the look. 

Step 1:
Apply a white shadow on the entire lid as base, followed by a medium smoky color along the lower lash and on the center of the lid, blending from the lash line to the crease. Layer on more or less shadow to change the intensity to your liking and experiment with shades like gray and navy, if you want a break from black.
Bobbi Brown Eye Shadows, $21, bobbibrowncosmetics.com.
Step 2:
Line the top and bottom lash lines using a gel eyeliner or a kohl cake liner that won’t smudge or flake. Apply in smooth strokes, gently extending the line slightly beyond the outer corners of the eyes in an upward sweeping point for a soft cat eye. Make sure to line as close to your lashes as possible for a sleek look.
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, $22, bobbibrowncosmetics.com.
Step 3:
Smudge the point between the liner and the shadow using an eyeliner brush, blurring the shadow past the outer corners of the eye to the point just below your brows.
Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Liner Brush, $28, bobbibrowncosmetics.com.

Step 4:
Dust a bit of the white shadow along the lower lash lines to create some sparkle and contrast.

Step 5:
Finish the look with multiple coats of super black mascara, and you’re ready to go.

Chef Mon Coeur / Aranccini (Risotto Balls)

Arancini 
(Risotto Balls)
Ingredients for Risotto:

1 Cup Risotto
3 Tablespoons of dried Tomato Oil
1/2 Cup chopped dried Tomatoes 
2 Garlics
1/2 Cup chopped Onions
1 Teaspoon Laurel
1 Cup White Wine
6 Cups Water
Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg
Salt & Pepper

Ingredients for Filling:

1 Cup Feta
1 Cup chopped Mushroom Grimini
1/2 Cup Romero
1/2 Cup Sage
2 Tablespoons Tarragon
1/2 Cup spicy Tomatoes
Almond Oil
2 Garlics
1/2 Onion
Salt & Pepper

Ingredients for the breading:

3 Eggs
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Bread Crumbs
1 Liter of Vegetable Oil

Procedure Risotto:

Chop dried tomatoes, bay leaf and onion, place it in a bowl along with the whole garlic. 
Put a pan with olive oil and add the cherry tomatoes, bay leaf, onions, and garlic and mix well. Then add the risotto and move it until you have a light color. Cook in medium high heat. Place the white wine until reduced, then add one cup of water, when the water is consumed, add the second cup, keep doing this same process until you reach the 6 cups of water. Move the risotto all the time, until water is consumed. 
When you finish, place the risotto in a bowl, add the egg and parmesan cheese, so we can start making our balls.

Procedure Filling:

Chop the mushrooms, rosemary, sage, estragon, spicy tomatoes, and onions and put them in a pan with some almond oil, salt and pepper, and mix well until brown. 
Take the ingredients out of the pan and place it in a food processor until made a puree. Then we add the feta until it becomes a paste.
Now that we have our filling ready, we can start making the risotto balls, try to make them like the size of a golf ball. Make to each ball a small hole so you can introduce the filling. 
When you have all of your balls stuffed, cover in egg, flour, egg, and then bread crumbs. 
Now that they are all breaded put them to fry in hot oil.

Enjoy!

Watch / "Kinetic Rain" Changi Airport Singapore

In the course of refurbishment works ART+COM was commissioned to create a signature art installation for the Departure-Check in hall of Terminal 1 at Singapore Airport. "Kinetic Rain" is composed of two parts, each consisting of 608 rain drops made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper. Suspended from thin steel ropes above the two opposing escalators, each droplet is moved precisely and seemingly floating by a computer-controlled motor hidden in the halls ceiling. The drops follow a 15-monute, computationally designed choreography where to two parts move together in unison, sometimes mirroring, sometimes complementing, and sometimes responding to each other. 

Beautiful!
