BrainyBeautys:
Why is Lancôme Artliner 24H a
beauty bag essential?
DARAIS: Artliner 24H is a beauty bag essential because it's a no brainer! It can be used with or without eye shadow. It won’t smudge or smear after a long day at work, while on a night out on the town, or even while you are at the gym. It instantly gives you the eye definition everyone tries to achieve over and over again. It's so simple!

What is one fall beauty trend you're most excited about and how do you
incorporate Artliner 24H into it?
DARAIS: At fashion week it was a battle between graphic eyeliner and a smoky eye for fall. Graphic eyeliner won hands down with the launch of Artliner 24H. Its effortless application and vinyl edgy finish create a graphic eye that has created an exciting new trend on its own. And not to mention all those smoky eye wearers are applying graphic liner on top of their smoky eye now to keep up!

Who is one celeb that you feel always gets it right in the beauty department?
DARAIS: One of my favorite celebs I have had a pleasure to makeover a few times, and someone that I feel always gets it right, is Ashley Greene. She dares to go bold but in a way that is classic and effortless chic. Her skin is radiant even without makeup on. She always has the right amount of pop to her gorgeous eyes, and a lip that never overrides the rest of her look.

What's your biggest beauty pet peeve?
DARAIS: My biggest beauty pet peeve is when someone has on the wrong foundation. Color is key and so is your undertone. It's sad when I can only see the wrong foundation and color jump to the neck or body. It distracts from the true color of a woman's eyes and from how beautiful she truly is. Don't let your skin distract from your focus features.

What is your "Brainy-est" beauty advice/tip/trick?
DARAIS: My brainy-est advice I give to thousands of women is based on your day, your career, your lifestyle. Decide in the morning if you are more of a speaker or a listener. If you speak a lot go more intense lips. It brings people's attention to what you have to say. If you listen, show it with your eyes done up. People won't be distracted away when they are focused in on your eyes. If you play up both it can be distracting and appear as overdone makeup... Especially to us guys!
We absolutely love DARAIS’ last answer so
much- it is such a simple yet amazing tip that reminds us all that everyone can
incorporate a make up look that stays true to their aesthetic and personality.
And a few strokes of Lancôme Artliner 24H also helps! DARAIS: My brainy-est advice I give to thousands of women is based on your day, your career, your lifestyle.
