Confessions Of A Makeup Artist

With the nice weather approaching it’s time to give your feet a makeover
The best way is to start summer toes without woes is with good pedicure products.
The following steps are a sure way to get a great at home pedicure treatment to compliment your new sandals.

Start your treatment off by giving you feet a little spritz with Lippmann Collection “Get Off Callus Softener.” This product will aid in the removal of built up callus and dry skin while using a foot paddle/pumice stone.

Next treat your feet an invigorating scrub using Lippmann Collection “Soul Mission” grapefruit scrub. This will smooth out your feet while the invigoration grapefruit promotes circulation. For a extra boost apply a drop of Lippmann Collection “Some Like it Hot” scrub serum which heats up the scrub for a deeper exfoliation.

Here are some tips our experienced makeup artist’s have put together to instantly look and feel that youthful glow.

Savannah says: Self-tan and work on your brows

“Self tanner is a good way for someone on the mature side to bring warmth to the skin which exudes health and radiance. Some women find it decreases the appearance of dark circles under the eyes because it creates less contrast to the darkness. I like to use the Make Believe Night Cream ($45) at night which is an anti-aging night cream mixed with self tanner all in one”

“Another great trick is to analyze your eyebrows and if they are getting a little bit sparse as they do when we age, try shaping them with a brow pencil or brow powder. This instantly frames the face and brings out the eyes.”

Indulge me while I vent on a peeve…..

What is a girl to do when she just can’t bring herself to cover her bumble coiffed hair with a ratty old balaclava when the weather gets brisk? We fashionistas who demand the best for our blowouts are all trotting about in the cold wearing effortlessly chic Eugenia Kim hats. Absolute must have….. the “Muffy”, a style which is flattering on all face shapes. No lie! She has been spotted on the famous heads of Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan. We attribute its popularity to the fact that it is flattering on all face shapes. Even if you think you’re not a “hat person” trust us you are.

Cam was all pink and rusty this year on the red carpet. She stood out as a breath of fresh air in a sea of neutrals with her perfect pomegranate stained lip. The overall effect created her aqua blue wolf like eyes to howl.
The rest of the look was balanced out with a simple black tight line, and fabulous lashes. Her quintessentially Californian golden locks with a lovely light curl complemented her effortless makeup and bolder lip, but nothing distracted from the overall look. For the love of Chanel, she was unexpected and refreshing.

To achieve this look:
-Use nude tones and highlight with a bronze or rust tone. We like Bronze Shell Liquid Shadow by Vincent Longo.
-Then Apply “Geisha Ink” by K-palette to apply a thin black line across the lash line. Apply plenty of Mascara (we like K palette’s Volume Impact Mascara as well)
-Layer Love Berry Baby Balm Lipstick by Vincent Longo with Lip fusion plumping lip gloss in summer.
