Beauty Bits and Tips: a few more beauty hints from uspointers from the pros: makeup artists' tips and tricksRecently, I realized how many tips I've learned simply by watching and listening to professional makeup artists. I've found countless opportunities through the years to observe these pros in action. They range from watching artists giving make-overs in department stores to learning some tricks via private makeup lessons. I've incorporated many of these "goodies" into my own daily makeup routine. So, with this in mind, I went to the pros who generously shared some of their favorite tips with Beauty Survival. From New York City makeup artist John Ottovino: How to take the bite out of RED lipstick. Since the holidays are upon us, red lips will be "face forward". Some women shy away from red because it is so bold and makes such a statement. Here's how to tame down that red...begin by applying a liner to match the shade of red, then apply the red lipstick, take a tissue and peel it apart so that you have a single ply, place the tissue over your mouth and with a powder puff and translucent powder.....powder your lips. When you remove the tissue you will reveal red lips that will blend better with your skin tone and become more a part of your face. From Toronto, ON makeup artist Dawn Rivard: I spray Evian Atomizer water to help hydrate the skin before and during a makeup application. It also helps freshen the skin mid day when you need a pick up. Also, using a powder to even out eyebrows in a shade just lighter than your own is a good way to have natural looking brows. From Sherman Oaks, CA makeup artist Lusine Galadjian: How to avoid getting makeup underneath the eyes and thus ruining your makeup, especially if you're working with dark colors. What I've found that works great is placing a small amount of loose translucent powder underneath the eyes before doing the shadow. If any color falls underneath the eyes, you can easily brush it off without ruining the makeup. From Boston, MA makeup artist Katrina Hess: When applying mascara, if you want either a full glamour look or soft natural look, work the mascara while it's wet -- for example, wiggly from the root. Then take the wand and quickly apply second and third coats before the mascara dries. It's best to do one eye at a time. Another tip is to apply concealer pencil lightly in deep lines or small lines around the mouth. By using a shade slight lighter than your skin tone or foundation, it lightens the lines. This also helps lipstick from feathering. From Vancouver, BC makeup artist Kristin Smith: One of my favorite things to do is throw eyeliners aside for the fall. Go out and purchase a small, skinny angled brush (my favorite tool) and find all your favorite eye shadows. Apply your eye shadows as your eyeliner either dry for a softer look, or wet for a more defined look. I promise you will love the results you'll see -- a much more professional finish that is softly blended. Another reason I love applying my liner this way is that the powders don't collect in the corners of the eye and smudge like many pencils will. This application looks great with both dark and lighter coloured shadows. My favorite application this season is a well blended purple smoky eye with gold shadow applied with your angle brush in the inner corners and black shadow (again with the angle brush) on the outer corners. Our makeup artist friends were so generous with their tips that we'll share more of them with you in next month's Beauty Bits and Tips. Have a beautiful month!
