EASY ON THE EYES

by Amy

POST + PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY NADINE, GRAPHIC DESIGN BY EUNICE CHUN

This is literally the easiest technique yet gives such a striking result! Typically we rim the inner waterline with black liner for drama or white/nude liner to open the eyes. But rimming it with a shadow stick opens up tons of different color options and adds another dimension to the look. I chose a metallic bronze shadow stick on Brook above because it’s incredibly sultry and stunning against any eye color. Here’s all you need to do:

  1. Sweep a black powder shadow across the lid. You can also include the crease but typically it will travel there over time on its own.
  2. Sweep the same shadow along your lower lashline.
  3. Gently pull downwards on your lower lid with one hand and rim the inner waterline with the metallic shadow stick.
  4. Coat the lashes with mascara.

You can try this with your favorites from your makeup drawer, but these are the ones I used for this look:

20 Easy And Amazingly Tasty Dessert Recipes

by Anna Robeson

In each of us lies a hidden sweet tooth that may be a remnant of our initial eating patterns (our early ancestors were gatherers and all instincts would point towards fruit because it is a high-calorie, high-carbohydrate food source), or may simply show our culinary evolution.

Whichever the case is, most of us eagerly await for the dessert when attending a meal. And who can’t relate to that? The idea of crème brûlée melting in your mouth, or some crunchy cookies fresh out of the oven is enough to make one’s mouth watery. Here are a few dessert recipes that are both easy to prepare and delicious.

1. Autumn Cheesecake

Everyone loves cheesecake. The texture, the fine taste, the unique blend of flavors. There is something extremely homely and welcoming about a piece of cheesecake with whipped cream.

1

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Graham Cracker crumbs
  • ½ Cup finely chopped pecans
  • 3 Tbsp white sugar
  • ½ Tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ Tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • ½ Tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans

Directions:

In a preheated oven (175 degrees C) bake the cracker crumbs, the 1/3 cup chopped pecans, 3 Tbsp sugar, ½ TSP cinnamon and the butter as the bottom layer. While this is baking in the oven, mix the cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl, then add this to the baked bottom layer. Lastly, mix 1/3 cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon, then toss this composition over the sliced apples and add this to the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Bake for 60 minutes. Done!

2. Creme Caramel

This is an extremely easy desert to prepare that requires only ingredients found in your fridge and is simple and fun to prepare.

2. creme caraamel

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups caster sugar
  • 300 ml thickened cream
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 eggs

Directions:

As always, start preheating your oven while you combine ¾ cup sugar and 1 cup cold water in a saucepan and cook over low heat. After the water has evaporated, cook at maximum heat for 5-7 minutes until golden. Pour the mixture into desert forms. The cream, milk and vanilla come together in a saucepan and are cooked while stirring. End by mixing the eggs and sugar in a bowl until smooth and adding it to the desert forms. Bake and cool in the fridge.

Combine all the ingredients, then prepare a dough (making sure not to overwork it) and cut 6 round dough biscuits. Place them on parchment paper and brush them with beaten egg whites.

Sprinkle the remaining sugar over them and bake until brown. Prepare the whipped cream, then assemble your shortcakes by cutting your cooked biscuits into halves, then adding a portion of the sugar strawberries and whipped cream in between the two halves. Decorate with strawberries if desired and you’re done.

Penguin Pair, Antarctica

This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Shots

I took this picture at Port Lockroy during my trip to Antartica in 2010. The two penguins almost touching flippers, looking at each other, and captured against the majestic frozen background, seemed romantically involved.

What Makes This a Photo of the Day? Ah, penguin love. In addition to the unavoidable invitation to anthropomorphize this pair, I am taken by the composition. The layers of this frame take it one step beyond the obvious. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor

Adorable Studio Portraits of Dogs Mid-Lick

by DL Cade

ep_lick

Cats might be the belles of the Internet photography ball, but I’m a dog person and I’ll be damned if cats get all the recognition. Photographer Carli Davidson’s series Shake was a giant leap in the right direction, and now another canine advocate and photographer has stepped forward with his own series of portraits.

His name is Ty Foster, and where Davidson’s series captured dogs mid shake, Foster’s series Lick captures them in the middle of licking their own face.

As a photographer, Foster has always focused on dogs. His own Rhodesian Ridgeback Tech is so used to being photographed that, even when out shooting for fun, he’ll count shutter clicks and bound over to Foster expecting a treat after 5 or 6.

The Lick series came about by mistake. One year ago, while looking through shots he had taken for a client, he kept stumbling across “throw away” pics of dogs licking in the studio. He couldn’t stop laughing, and thus an idea was born.

“For me, what their expressions were saying and what their tongues were ‘saying’ were complete opposites,” Foster told us over email. “I remember thinking that these images would make a phenomenal book, and from that point on I was determined to capture some more intentional images of dogs licking in studio.”

Here’s a look at some of what he’s captured for Lick so far:

ty_foster_lick_09

“One of the driving reasons I work with dogs specifically is they’re always genuinely expressing how they feel,” says Foster, “and the personality that is reflected in these portraits is my favorite aspect.” Yeah… take that cat people.

Fortunately for us dog/photography and dog & photography lovers, Lick is far from over. When we spoke to Foster he explained that he has “plenty more images to work on” and plans to release a book in the coming months.

To see more of the Lick series or if you want to browse Foster’s full portfolio, head over to his website or follow him on Facebook by following the corresponding links.

Sorry, It’s Taken

by Not That Mike The Other Mike

I’m touching all four parts of the couch, so the entire couch is taken. Technically, the cushions are part of the couch, so I’m touching them by extension and they’re taken too. No, you can’t have the pillows, because I’m touching one of them with my tail, and that pillow is touching the other two pillows, so they’re all taken. Bye.
