I'm not sure how I didn't know this, but Smashbox Cosmetics/Photo Studios (The Home of LA Fashion Week) has a MySpace Video Channel. Well honestly, lately I've been fixated on Francois Nars- and while Davis Factor is amazing too (co-owned with his bro Dean, both descendents of The Legendary Max Factor himself), in the case of Davis... the Hasselblad is always in the way. In the case of photographers, the camera always acts as a barrier to me, even with my own boyfriend. When the Mamiya is in his hands, there is work to be done. But I digress.
The Smashbox MySpace Video Channel is 19 short videos of pure usefulness, regardless of skill level. I don't know about you, but when I finally see the photos of my work, I am never happy with it. I know the day that I can find nothing wrong that I have failed myself. There are always subtle tips and tricks that are wonderful to integrate into an already established technique, and sometimes the back to basics approach is what is needed. I've been taught five million ways to do a smokey eye, and god knows, I have my own way as well. This was perhaps the best one that I have seen yet:

I have several of the Smashbox brushes mentioned. I love them. I recently tossed aside two of my tried and true eyebrow brushes for the Smashbox #12. Twas worth it.
Have a look through all the videos. I promise you'll learn something.
