Product Shout Out
Stila Smudge Pot Set - BUY IT HERE!
This unique gel eyeliner and shadow is an innovative alternative to traditional powder and liquid formulas. This clever little gel has an inky intensity that leaves powder shadows in the dust. A favorite for the sultry, smoky eye. 
Apply with a liner brush for razor-sharp precision or smudge it with your fingers for more complete coverage. Remember to always close the airtight lid to keep the gel soft and pliable.

Style bangs with very little product.  Apply a small amount of gel or mousse to the roots to give a little lift.  Also, dry bangs with low heat.
