Meet Mo- Expert Makeup Artist from TV Show BLUSH
Meet Mo– expert makeup artist from TV show BLUSH on My Lifetime. Maura, a.k.a “Mo,” is passionate and perky, and believes her outgoing personality is what sets her apart from other makeup artists. She attended two prestigious makeup schools and has worked on numerous celebrities, including Sarah Ferguson. Her ability to wear any look makes her stand out in a crowd.
Mo gives Talking Makeup the scoop on her top makeup tools no woman should be without.
Mo’s top makeup tools no woman should be without:
1. TWEEZERS: Leave the real grooming to the professionals, but you never know when or where a stray hair may pop up. Women should always have a small set of tweezers on them; especially since stray hairs are easier to see in the natural daylight.
2. SUNSCREEN: Sunscreen is your best anti-aging product. Sunscreens block out the sun’s damaging rays, and also blocks their aging effects. I recommend choosing a sunscreen with a SPF 15 or higher. The sun will break down its effectiveness over time; if you are going to be in direct sunlight for an extended period of time, reapply every hour or two.
3. CONCEALER BRUSH: You will be amazed when you switch from using your fingers for applying concealer, to using a concealer brush. The makeup will blend easier and it will not cake. If you wear liquid foundation, apply your concealer after the foundation to avoid blending the spots where you want more coverage.

Kendra Wilkinson’s Beauty Secrets
Few weeks ago I had an amazing opportunity to interview Kendra Wilkinson for www.beautyinterviews.com and find out about her beauty secrets.
Here it is, my interview with Kendra Wilkinson!
Kendra Wilkinson is best known for her role on the E! reality series The Girls Next Door as Hugh Hefner’s third girlfriend after Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.
Wilkinson met Hugh Hefner at his 78th birthday party in April 2004, where she was hired to be one of the “painted girls”. Hefner had apparently seen her picture, shot by photographer Kim Riley, on a fax machine at the Playboy Mansion and wanted to know who she was. Shortly after they met, Hefner asked Wilkinson to be one of his girlfriends and he moved her into the Playboy Mansion. Kendra is now engaged to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett.
In this interview Kendra Wilkinson shares her beauty secrets with Marta Walsh.
