Beauty Bits and Tips: a few more beauty hints from uspointers from the pros: makeup artists' tips and tricks (part 2)Readers of last month's column know that I love to find those tips and tricks that makeup artists pull out of their goodie bags. When I asked the pros to share some of their favorite makeup tips with us, they were very generous. So, we're continuing to share their ideas with you. From Sherman Oaks, CA makeup artist Lusine Galadjian:
I've seen people use thick
foundation all over their face just to cover up skin imperfections. You
don't have to do that. The trick is putting liquid foundation
over the face and then going back and spot concealing the blemish with
a concealer the same color as the foundation (making sure to blend
the concealer into the foundation) and then going back and setting it with
loose translucent powder. Sometimes you might have to layer it by going
back and putting a second coat of concealer over the blemish and setting it
again with powder. it definitely looks more natural. But
remember, natural skin isn't one color... so make sure to go back and with a big soft
brush place bronzer where the sun would naturally hit your face.
From Boston, MA makeup artist Katrina Hess of Katrina Hess Weddings: After applying eyeshadow base set with loose translucent powder. The powder seals the base. Even if you are not using an eyeshadow base apply powder to eyelids. It makes for easier eyeshadow application and blending of Smokey shades. For a moist dewy fresh look on cheeks, use cream blush. Apply with a special brush such as MAC's new cream blush brush. From Toronto, ON makeup artist Dawn Rivard: We all need another perspective on our looks once in a while to keep updated. Wearing a dated makeup colour or style is a quick way for people to think you are older than you are. Go get your brows or makeup professionally done once in a while. ASK questions, listen, and try out the advice you've been give. You don't have to buy every product recommended. You probably will feel strange for a while after making a change but don't get stuck in a makeup or style rut!! From Denver, CO makeup artist Davida Simon of The Makeup Room: Makeup colors for the holidays shimmer in white, silver, gold, grey, ruby red lips and cheekbones and lip gloss that hi-lite and shine. Now is the time to take advantage of holiday gift palettes so you have various shadow, blush, and lip shades to choose from all in one handy package. Try eyeliner in a color to pop the eye, or go sultry with charcoal smudged liner, lots of mascara (use waterproof if you tend to smudge under your eyes), and stroke white hi-lite shades on the brow and cheekbone. And finally, two of mine: First, if you're not going out at night, cleanse your face and do your nightly skin routine as soon as you get home. I learned this trick many years ago when I first moved into Manhattan. Suddenly, I was getting these nasty bumps under my skin and I was breaking out. Getting the grime and makeup off as soon after I walked in the door as possible made a real difference. Second, in order to avoid eye makeup ending up on your concealer, foundation, or blush and having to wipe it off along with these other products, put on your eye makeup first. This way, your not wiping away what you've already painstakingly put on. This second tip I learned from the great makeup artist Paula Dorf. When she first created her cosmetic line, I was fortunate enough to have her perform a makeover on me. She taught me this trick and I've happily used it ever since. And, if you haven't already see them, check out our makeup artists' tips in last month's column. Have a beautiful month! Carol November 2005 E-commerce sites carrying
