Childbirth has rendered my 'look' more Tootsie than Tyra. There's little time for makeup, and my vintage threads are starting to show their age thanks to gallons of acidic baby barf. 

Fortunately, celebrity make-up artist Greg Wencel was on hand Monday night to show me how to reintegrate some of my favourite decades through makeup with the launch of CoverGirl’s new products for 2010. 

With a modern take on the extremes of every decade, the looks are simple, and completely wearable. The eyes are the clear focus.

First up was the decade I live by, the '60s:

Then, the '70s:

Despite my affinity for the '60s, this look was the clear favourite. The hair was tousled-Alexander Wang-chic, and chock full of Herbal Essences Body Envy Volumizing Mousse. The makeup was very Versace: classic, commanding, and dramatic.

These very different looks were all achieved with the help of CoverGirl’s SmokyEyeBlast. It has one wand with two applicators: a lighter side for your eyelid, and a darker one for your crease, making it the perfect tool to transition from a day at the office to a night on the town.

Specific colors used : Silver Sky, and Bronze Fire

Now, I’m off to combine a side-pony with and cat-eye. I expect nothing less than Weird Science.
