PeaceKeeper’s campaign, “Make-Up Artists For Peace” asked some of the countries leading celebrity make-up artists to donate their favorite make-up tip in support of PeaceKeeper’s work to end violence against women. Recently, we asked Sam Fine, celebrity make-up artist for women like Tyra Banks, Brandy, Aretha Franklin, Halle Berry, Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell, Destiny’s Child, and more. Here is what he suggests:
Use foundation to achieve a second skin appearance
After applying foundation (either liquid or cream), take a facial tissue and separate each layer. Using one layer, gently blot, removing any excess oil. What you're left with is skin that looks perfect without the mask-like appearance of foundation.
Use two foundation formulas – liquid and crème – to achieve a flawless complexion
Using liquid foundation and tinted moisturizer is great, but they don't have the ability to cover dark marks or heavy discoloration. Fine suggests using a stick foundation along with your existing foundation in select areas where more coverage is needed. Now you'll be able to hide blemishes without feeling like you're wearing a face full of foundation!
Build beautiful lashes
Begin by wiping the excess off the wand/brush and applying a thin coat of waterproof mascara. Go on to do something else - get dressed or make a cup of coffee. Because waterproof mascara dries quicker, when you return to apply your second coat, you'll notice each lash stands out and attracts mascara like never before!
Create the perfect brow
Fine suggests using two pencils to create the perfect brow; one in a shade lighter than the natural brow color and one a bit darker than the natural brow color. First, using the lighter pencil to softly define and fill, serving as a guideline for shape, then return with the darker pencil to deepen the color and define the shape. This helps to insure that you'll have a beautiful brow that doesn't look drawn on or fake.

With Domestic Violence declared an epidemic in Massachusetts, law makers struggle to find a solution. After the brutal murder to Robin Mendes, the Blodget Law took effect, extending the sentence from 2 to 5 years for repeat offenders and making it a felony. Press Pass TV investigates whether the length of the sentence truly matters, or if it is what happens while the men are behind bars which does.

Moby donates 100% of the proceeds from his California concerts to domestic violence shelters that had lost state funding.
The California State Legislative cut 50% of the state funds, and Gov. Schwartzenegger cut the other 50%, leaving absolutely no money for the shelters.
Moby's attention to this issue has helped restore funding (at least in the short term) to the shelters through an emergency legislation signed by Gov. Schwartzenegger.

US health insurers can define domestic violence as a 'pre-existing condition' and refuse to pay to treat its victims.
Last Sunday, the McClatchy news service reported on a rather remarkable insurance loophole that hasn't ever received much attention outside the US feminist blogosphere: "Eight states and the District of Columbia don't have laws that specifically bar insurance companies from using domestic violence as a pre-existing condition to deny health coverage."
This is not a quirky piece of trivia without any real-world ramifications.
According to a 2000 report by the US department of health and human services: "An informal survey in 1994 by the staff of the subcommittee on crime and criminal justice of the United States Senate judiciary committee revealed that eight of the 16 largest insurers in the country used domestic violence as a factor when deciding whether to issue insurance and how much to charge." More recent anecdotal evidence suggests the prevalence of treating domestic violence as an excluding pre-existing condition has diminished but has not disappeared.US health insurers can define domestic violence as a 'pre-existing condition' and... more

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A jury on Friday found John David Wilson guilty of assaulting his wife.
Wilson's attorney described his client as a tortured soul who still blames himself for the tragic death of his little sister.
"He just never recovered from being an 11-year-old boy who runs away from his sister to talk to his mother before John Horton does what he does," said attorney Carl Cornwell.
Cornwell said his client still feels guilty for what happened to his sister, Lizbeth Wilson, who was kidnapped and killed in 1974 as she walked home alone from the swimming pool. Horton, a janitor at Shawnee Mission East, kidnapped and killed her and dumped the body in rural Lenexa.
"You can't live with that," Cornwell said. "You can't live with that."
In March of 2008, a jury convicted Horton of first-degree murder. Two months later, Wilson got into a fight with his wife. After he threatened to leave her and she doused his clothes with gasoline, Cornwell said Wilson defended himself against her by pushing and shoving her. Wilson said she fell against a cabinet and got cut.
Wilson and his wife had been married only six months before the incident. Cornwell said they both drank too much. He also said Wilson was so distraught that he tried to commit suicide with a box cutter.
"He did not want the publicity," said Cornwell. "He did not want to besmirch his sister's name, so he decided in his words to check out and he bled and bled but he didn't bleed enough."
A jury could have convicted Wilson on Friday for attempted murder, kidnapping and rape, but after looking at all the evidence, they decided to find him guilty of battery. He faces up to three-and-a-half years in prison. Wilson will be sentenced in November.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A jury on Friday found John David Wilson guilty of assaulting his... more

MERCED, Calif. - A California man whose legs are amputated says police used a stun gun on him twice and violently manhandled him even though he was unarmed.
Internal affairs investigators say they're looking into the complaint by 40-year-old Gregory Williams, who was arrested Sept. 11 on suspicion of domestic violence and resisting arrest.
Williams and witnesses say officers tasered the wheelchair-bound man twice, then left him handcuffed with his pants down on the sidewalk in broad daylight. Williams spent six days in jail before prosecutors said they lacked evidence to charge him.
Merced officers said in a police report that Williams was uncooperative and refused to give his 2-year-old daughter to Child Protective Services. The police department has declined further comment, pending the internal investigation.MERCED, Calif. - A California man whose legs are amputated says police used a stun gun... more

It turns out that in eight states, plus the District of Columbia, getting beaten up by your spouse is a pre-existing condition.
Under the cold logic of the insurance industry, it makes perfect sense: If you are in a marriage with someone who has beaten you in the past, you're more likely to get beaten again than the average person and are therefore more expensive to insure.
In human terms, it's a second punishment for a victim of domestic violence.
In 2006, Democrats tried to end the practice. An amendment introduced by Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), now a member of leadership, split the Health Education Labor & Pensions Committee 10-10. The tie meant that the measure failed.
All ten no votes were Republicans, including Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming), a member of the "Gang of Six" on the Finance Committee who are hashing out a bipartisan bill. A spokesman for Enzi didn't immediately return a call from Huffington Post.
The eight states that still allow it are Idaho, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wyoming, according to a report by the National Women's Law Center.It turns out that in eight states, plus the District of Columbia, getting beaten up by... more
