Nudes & Neon Lip Colors for Spring……..

February 22nd, 2012

WOW..Spring colors are arriving and they are GORGEOUS! From Nudes, Neutrals,Naturals to the other side of the spectrum..bold NEON colors. I know what you thinking..I am not wearing NEON, but it is all in the application. You can pair a very “Nude look” with a Bright Lip color, or just even a pop of gloss. Choose a focal point for your face and give it a try.Let’s face it, an  all “Nude look” can flat and  not having any zest. There are variations on the Neon look. Try using a small a touch of a bright lip color on your lips, rub them together and then layer another layer for staying power. Also for Spring ..BLUSH is back from subtle to BRIGHT. For those of you that are use to a lot of bronzer, try a bit less and add a blush for color.Stay tuned for more Spring Colors and Makeup Tips….Elise

RED, RED Lip trends as seen at the Golden Globes.

January 25th, 2012

Wow, the Golden Globes makeup was fantastic! Red lips made a statement. Thinking about giving Red lips a whirl, don’t be afraid. There are many ways to introduce a RED lip into your makeup style. If you are new to color on your lips, start off with a sheer red, such as Polished, which has a hint of red, without the the boldness of a true red. You can wear it with almost anything neutral. If you are ready to explore a beautiful Red lip, Amore is a classic, a true red, that has the ultimate finish, creamy yet a touch of sheen. A great lip tip/trick with Red lipstick …Apply Scarlet lip liner, by using the SIDE of the pencil, gently sweeping your lips with the bold color, then rub your lips together. This will give your lips a base of red to your lips, then apply a touch of gloss, I suggest Nouba 66 Lipshine.

Smokey Bridal Makeup..featuring Alli

December 15th, 2011
f
Ali’s Smokey Bridal eyes…..

 

Featured Bride..ALI

Ali wanted a  smoldering, smokey eye without her makeup application looking too heavy. I applied the botanical shadow primer all over her lid, then applied Sunstone on the lid, Cats Eye Quartz in the corner, with Peach Quartz under the brow.

Ali’s eye brows are filled in with Taupe Eye Brow Wax. Lips lined with Le Rose Lip liner and Superwear lip Cream in Bridal Rose.

The key to Ali’s look, is the application of the shadows, first applying them generously, then blending with Dolce Vita shadow, for the perfect blend.

Ali and Mike were so adorable, they met in High School and so beautiful to see together….Enjoy the photos.

Achieving the Perfect Bridal look-featuring Kat…

October 25th, 2011

This month’s Featured bride..Kat!

Kat is a spectacular girl with the most amazing smile. We stayed true to her desire to have not only a flawless finish but a smoldering eye. To achieve this apply a layer of Nouba Nombra Eyeshadow #401 on lid, with an application of Nouba Nombra Eyeshadow #408 in the outer corner. Use Nouba Nombra Eyeshadow #407 for the  brow bone. The trick to Kat’s look is the application of the #408. Pat in generously to create a smoldering eye and create definition. Then apply Indelible Gel Eyeliner Black Out, on top  and smudge.Underneath, use the Ultimate Gel Eyeliner in Mercury and Gravity. Coat lashes with Nouba Mascarone Carbon Black Mascara. Use Lash Extender in between each coat of mascara. Line lips with Cameo, apply Vintage Plum with lip brush and top with a dab of Luxury Gloss in Mauve Glow.

The Importance of Eye Cream..protect those eyes..

October 9th, 2011

Eye creams have many benefits. Add direct moisture to dry, tired eyes.                                   Many eye creams and gels are wonderful but my favorite are those that have peptides,such as Leesi B’s Peptox Eye Cream.Peptides are 2 or more amino acids that are bonded together that form a linear molecule. These molecules can transfer biologically active agents (such as Vitamin E and Copper) to cells renewing them. They invigorate the skin, and the appearance and texture can be corrected.Placement of eye cream is key. Use a very small amount right beneath your eye area, close to where you feel the bone. Pat small amount and let dry for at least 30 seconds before applying your concealer.In honor of tired eyes everywhere..Peptox Eye Cream is on SALE thru October 24.Take advantage of this terrific price,regularly priced at $37, only $31.
