GLOW TO GO!

When the heat is on, so is the glow. Here is an image of Max doing makeup on a beautiful mocha skinned model. One of the best looks to create in the summer season, is this high impact luminous look. The emphasis is on the upper cheek bone area and swooping around the eye. The eyes are enhanced with a lush application of deep black liner and mascara. This draws most of the attention to the eyes themselves, and that is where all the mystery is. This is complimented with a natural smooth finish to the skin and a delicious, yet subtle accent on the lips. Once this look is complete, just throw on a hip warm toned outfit and you've got your glow to go!

HOT! HOT! HOT!

Its getting hot in here! The summer season is right around the corner, and you know the saying "less is more". Well let's just say "they got that right". These lovely ladies are struttin' their stuff in these delicious citrus toned bikinis and light cover ups. The best way to compliment this wave of warmth is a simple shimmer to the skin (all over). This is achieved by a gentle dusting of mineral shimmer by Givenchy Beaute. The cheeks always come to life with a pop of coral toned blush on a tanned skin (self tanner by Clarins) the blush is Coral Reef by Marco Beaute. And last, but certainly not least Juicy Orange lip shine by Marco Beaute. All we can say is FEEL THE HEAT BABY!!!

SAIL AWAY WITH ME!

The time is right to sail away to a romantic island. What better way to go, than in nautical style. This look is fresh, pure, and ready for action. This model's makeup was kept simple, yet sun kissed. The overall look was achieved by giving the entire face (and body) a warm bronzed glow. The eyes and checks were brought to life with a soft touch of an apricot shadow and blush. To define the eyes, there is a light application of dark brown mascara. Finally the lips pull the whole look together with a warm toned lip stain. All the makeup was provided by the Yves Saint Laurent beauty collection.

SMOKIN' SMOLDERING AND SEDUCTIVE

Those sexy smokey eyes are center stage for fall 2010. Just when you thought things might get dull. Wham! Those gorgeous eyes are back on the scene. This look is great in a variety of different tones, for example warm chocolates, deep plums, midnight blues, and deep forest greens, are just a few of the tones you can play with to create this seductive look. The process for achieving this look is as follows: Start with a soft base color (i.e. beige, soft cream, etc.) all over the lid, from lash line to the brow. Next use a medium tone shade (i.e. nutmeg, taupe, etc.) in the crease of the eye in a windshield wiper motion to define the eye. Next go to the liner (preferably black) apply this generously along the bottom lash line and then across the top lash line. Next use a small rounded tip brush to blend the eye liner. Follow with the darkest shade (i.e. black, dark blue, dark violet, etc.) and place it towards the outer top corner of the eye (use caution when doing this, as to not allow the shadow to fall. Then blend the deep shade across the lower portion of the top lid, and then with what is left on the brush carry it across the bottom lash line. A key point here is to be careful not to use too much shadow at the start, and always blend, blend, blend. Have fun getting your satisfaction! All makeup was provide by the Christian Dior beauty collection.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

Spring is in the air! The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining bright, and there's a buzz about all that is new this season. This beautiful image was inspired by a stroll in a lush garden and, the lovely golden-orange tulips. The eye makeup in this look was created by a generous sweep of marigold tones, and cobalt blue as the perfect accent. The luscious lip look was created by using a rich coral toned lipstick. All of this set against a flawless ivory complexion, brings this fresh look of spring to life. When spring arrives it presents the perfect opportunity to set yourself free and live life in vivid color. Viva la printemp! All makeup was provide by the Givenchy beauty collection.

COLOR MY WORLD!

Imagine a world in only black and white, only beige, only gray...so sad, wouldn't you say? We are very blessed with such an amazing array of colors. We see these colors all around; in a garden, in the ocean, in a horizon, in the birds, everywhere. The wonder of the world of makeup artistry, is the ability to set yourself free and express so much with color. A rich red lip shows power and sensuality, a deep violet eyeliner shows mystery and enhances the beauty of the eye color, a light sweep of terra cotta on the cheek shows an inviting warmth. The possibilities are endless. Our only limitation is our imagination...so take a spin on the color wheel, and all I ask is that you...Color My World!
