If his untimely death had not occurred some 26 months ago, the King of Pop, MICHAEL JACKSON would have turned 53 years young today.

Although JACKSON’s sudden death left many of us stunned and shaken, it’s obvious his legacy as a man and a musical legend still lives.  No matter what era was your own personal MJ favorite, Michael has always been and will always be the coolest, most talented, and unbelievably captivating artist and performer the world has ever seen.  We will always mourn his death, but today we celebrate his life!!!

Nothing complements a beautifully made face quite like a stunning set of eyes.

The looks that can be created from eyeshadows are limitless but without a proper foundation to build upon, those pretty little peepers of yours can fall victim to an oily lid or extreme weather.

Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion is a smooth, cream-based formula that is key in achieving crease-free eye makeup that lasts all day.

This line boasts four different primers, Original, Sin, Eden, and Greed. The Original, the sheerest primer of the four, dries invisibly as it works with your natural skin tone to create a nude that’s uniquely you. Sin has a champagne-tinged base color speckled with shimmery pigments, that adds sheen to basic eyeshadows and with loose glitter shadows give  an even more dramatic pop.

For a more matte finish, Eden is the perfect choice. The yellowish-brown hues in this tawny primer are ideal for a standout color that maintains softness. Lastly Greed, gleaming with gold, is the warmest primer and boosts the vibrancy of neutral-toned shadows.

The original packaging of this product used to feature a wand brush that has been traded in for a simple squeeze tube allowing more control of what you dispense. A little goes a long way, for long lasting results. 0.37 oz, $19, sephora.com
