How To Makeup Tutorial

Eyes

“To begin, I used the mark Concealer Brush to apply the bronze shade from mark Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner & Shadow in Surreal to her lashline and blended upwards to the crease. Next, I applied a top coat of mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Gioia into the crease and smudged up to her brow bone. Next, I lined both her upper and bottom lashline with mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Java using the mark Flat Eyeliner Brush. To add an extra hint of drama, I lined her inner lids with mark Eyemarker Color On Line in Jet and finished with two coats of mark Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara in Raven.”

Face

“I prepped Lucy’s face by applying mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Golden with the mark Foundation Brush to even out her skin tone. Next, I dabbed mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Light/Medium under her eyes, blending it in with the mark Concealer Brush. For her cheeks, I used the mark Foundation Brush to apply mark Just Pinched Instant Blush in Peachy to the apples of her cheeks. I then dusted a light coating of mark Matte-nificent Oil-Absorbing Powder to eliminate any excess shine in her t-zone. I then swept a combination of mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Golden and mark Glowdacious Illuminating Powder in Shimmied Up with the mark Powder Brush to accentuate the contours of her face and add a gorgeous radiance.”

Lips

“I used mark Juice Jems Lip Gloss in Juicy Fig to give Lucy’s lips the perfect amount of color and shine, without looking overdone.”

It’s SHOWTIME with Marcel…Always put your best face forward. NARSISSISM #4-Marcel says: “Matte skin always looks beautiful and clean. After foundation, apply a translucent loose powder with a powder puff and buff away any excess with a large, soft brush. This will create a luminous, satin finish rather than a dry, powdery surface.”

Hair Trend report 2010 with Advanced Techniques Salon Professional Haircare. Avon Global Stylists Advisors worked backstage at Charlotte Ronson’s Fashion Show, where they interpreted the clothing designs to create a simple, girly style that any woman could wear. With just a few Advance Techniques products, the team teaches us how to transform bland hair to beautiful styles.

The hairstyle: Bohemian Ballerina. “Create a fresh, young wispy look to amp up simple designs in your wardrobe this season.”-Tippi Shorter

Hair Tutorial

1 . Prep wet hair from root to tip with Volumizing Mousse to enhance the natural shine and create volume. Using the Cushion Brush, blow dry hair section by section to distribute the product and create natural texture.

2. Gather the hair tight to form a ponytail at the back crown of the head and secure with a ponytail holder, keeping all sides flat. Holding hair at the end of the ponytail, twist the hair firmly in one direction to form a knot into a spiral. Secure with bobby pins.

3. On the sides, “muse” the little wispy hairs to play up the natural texture. Lightly spray with Hair Spray to complete the style and hold in place.

Accessorize with a Part

“Don’t clutter your style with headbands and accessories, make a statement with a clean, defined part.”-Anthony Barrow

1. To create the perfect canvas for a defined part, start with clean, smooth hair by applying Dry Ends Serum (Marta’s all time favorite) to the ends f your hair and Super straight Smoothing Balm from root to tip.

2. Using the Large Barrel Brush, blow fry hair straight. Use a comb to create a defined part on the side of the head.

3. Pull all hair into a tight, sleek bun at the back of the neck to make the part really stand out. Spray a light mist of Mirror Shine Spray to create a highly sheen finish.

Wavy Volume

“Pump up the volume of your soft, romantic tresses with edgy, high-fashion style.”-Allen Ruiz

1. Begin this look by smoothing Volumizing Mousse through damp hair root to tip.

2. Create soft curls by setting hair with Pillow Curlers. Spray a light mist of Hair Spray to ensure hair will hold curl.

3. Remove the curlers. Flip hair over front of head and a layer of Hair Spray to create extra volume and hold. Run fingers through hair to loosen curls for a soft finish.

Sleek and Sophisticated

“Take your style from shabby to chic with this sophisticated twist on the classy pony.”-Tippi Shorter

1. Prep damp hair with Moisture Sleek Smoothing Serum. Dry hair using the Vent Brush to enhance shine and create a smooth finish.

2. Apply a small amount of Shaping Gel to dry hair from root to mid-shaft. Pull all hair to the back of the head, securing with an elastic band.

3. Take a small bunch of hair and twist around the base of the pony, securing with bobby pins. Finish the look with a light mist of Hair Spray to keep all strands in place.

Crown of Volume

“Straight, sleek hair has taken a back seat to texture, wave & movement. The look this season is in your-face attitude and edgy rock & roll texture.”-Anthony Barrow

1. Smooth an Anti-Frizz Capsule on damp hair to create the perfect foundation for building frizz-free texture. Layer Volumizing Mousse on hair to give your tresses the extra boost they need.

2. Blow dry hair in small sections with a Round Brush. Wrap hair tightly around the barrel and aim hot air directly on the hair until dry.

3. Once all hair is dry, backcomb the top section and pull back to the center of the head, securing in place with bobby pins. Take the remaining hair and secure in a loose, messy bun at the nape of the neck. Finish the look with a light mist of Hair Spray.

Talking Makeup is pleased to present a Smokey Eyes makeup tutorial by the lovely Lois Price who is a student at Staffordshire University in England. I love my UK friends, you know:)

WATCH: Lois giving you tips on how to create a smokey eye look without breaking the bank! “Have fun with it and create similar looks!!” says Lois.

1. Firstly moisture your face and allow it to soak in, then apply a thin layer of foundation onto your face including eye lids- this will help the eye shadow stick and stay on longer

2. Apply a line of eyeliner to the bottom of your eyes to create definition.

3. Next apply the grey shadow to your eyelids- apply as much as you want.

4. Take a defining brush and apply black shadow to the corners of your eyes. This also makes them look larger as well as create our smokey look. Apply lots- don’t worry if it looks messy- it will soon be looking smoking!!!

5. Then take the grey shadow and blend in the black against the grey to create your overall look- add more black if you need to.

6. Apply mascara to the bottom and top lashes- add fake eyelashes if you want- but don’t go overboard as it can look tacky.

7. Apply bronzer and blusher and be sure to dust some around the neck and chest area to blend in the colour of your face and neck- don’t want it to be odd.

8. Finally put a bit of lip balm or foundation on your lips ready for a prolonged duration of lip gloss.

The end result is complete. A quick and easy way to create a perfect smokey look and it doesn’t even cost you much!

L’Oreal True Match Foundation- Sand

Boots- Natural Collection Bronzer- Golden Glow, Eyeliner- Black, Lip-gloss -shortcake, Mascara- black

Bringing you another très chic skin-saving technique from NARS’ very own Marcel (it’s the cutest dog seen in image below).

Marcel says: “Everyone wants a dewy complexion. But there’s a fine line between a dewy glow and greasy skin. Keep your face hydrated without looking oily by blotting with a tissue to remove excess cream or moisturizer.”

Hair Trends: This month, Kim Vo, master colorist to Hollywood’s A-list and Shear Genius favorite, dishes on the latest and hottest hair trends for the season. This spring get sprung on Kim Vo’s favorite looks including: Roller Set, Full Face and Flower Power. Simply click image below to watch.

Shear Genius 3: Episode 10. “Who Will Prove To Be Shear Genius?” Nexxus Salon Hair Care is back as the official hair care sponsor for the third season of BRAVO’s hit reality series, Shear Genius, a new style of competition. Nexxus Creative Director Kevin Mancuso offers tips on styling so that anyone can achieve a salon style at home.

This week’s “how to get the look” from Kevin:

Take inspiration from last night’s Henry Duarte Fashion Show and keep hair simple and polished when “rocking” an edgy headband.

1. Apply a sleek styler, such as Nexxus Sleek Memory, to damp hair, and then blow-dry using a large round brush.

2. Once dry, pull hair back into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic.

3. Twist loose ends into a bun and secure with a bobbi pin.

4. To finish the look, add a bold and unique accessory.

Recap of Show

It all comes down to this! The final three stylists, Brig, Janine and Matthew, met up with Orlando and Camila to receive their final challenge: “Create six looks for a Henry Duarte Fashion Show.” Each stylist consulted with Henry, who said he wanted futuristic hairstyles to complement his edgy fashions.

At the Shear Genius Nexxus Salon, the stylists picked their assistants from a grouping of their former competitors. Since Brig won the prior elimination challenge, she was able to choose her own two assistants and determine the order of who would choose after her.

Once the assistants were chosen, Janine immediately began wrapping her models’ hair around large hairpins to set in major frizz. Brig decided on her most avant-garde look yet – what she called “laminated hair.” The look consisted of multi-colored hairpieces stuck in between plastic and layered on top of the models’ simple buns. Matthew also got to work quickly on his vision, “bondage hair,” with zippers, tightly bound mohawks and even extreme foreheads courtesy of a few skullcaps.

After the runway show, the stylists met with their final four judges, Jonathan, Kim, Camila and Allure Editor-in-Chief Linda Wells. While all of the judges agreed that Brig’s work was unique and edgy, Jonathan criticized the use of props and lack of hairstyling. As for Matthew’s hairstyles, Linda called the zippers on his hair fun, but found his skullcap looks to be ugly and jarring. Kim called it hot, but was also bothered by the unsettling effect of the skullcap. Janine’s looks also underwhelmed the judges. Jonathan praised her for great technical work but complained that it wasn’t quite enough for this stage of the competition. Linda thought Janine’s work was beautiful, but Camila commented that she’d seen the look on the runway before.

In what some may call a shocking upset, it was Brig who ultimately rose to become Shear Genius. Her visionary approach not only won her the title, but $100,000 furnished by Nexxus Salon Hair Care, an apprenticeship with Nexxus and the opportunity to style hair for an Allure magazine photo shoot. Congratulations, Brig!

Michael Kors Spring 2010 NY Fashion Week. The makeup look: “The skin is clear, naturally flawless.”-Dick Page Artistic Director for Shiseido

How to get the look with Shiseido Makeup collection: Dick applied a thick coat of Translucent Loose Powder all over the face with a large powder brush and then dusted off the excess powder leaving the skin matte. To give the skin under the eyes a pearly finish, Dick mixed together the NEW! Luminizing Satin Face Color in Soft Beam Gold (BE206) and NEW! Luminizing Satin Face Color in High Beam White (WT905) and applied the color under the eyes in a triangle shape. To add a touch of bronze, Dick swept the NEW! Luminizing Satin Face Color in Shell (GD809) under the cheekbones, giving the illusion of contour.

EYES

To create a base, Dick first washed color across the eyelid by applying the Accentuating Color Stick in Champagne Flush (S6) and Accentuating Color Stick in Rosy Flush (S5) to the natural crease of the eye with a fluff brush. Next, Dick lined the eyes with Accentuating Cream Eyeliner in Black (1), right into both top and bottom lash lines.

To achieve a dramatic look, he brushed the NEW! Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Ocean Sunset (GD824) along the inner corners of the eye in a “V” shape then applied the NEW! Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Fondant (GR222) to the base of the eyelid. Afterward, Dick swept the NEW! Limited Edition Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Amethyst (VI399) across the eyelid, starting just above the Ocean Sunset color, continuing around the Fondant color, and then filled in the outside of the lid. The NEW! Luminizing Satin Face Color in Medusa (PK107) was brushed on the brow bone from the outer edge of the brow to the inner corner of the eye. Perfect Mascara in Black (BK901) was applied to both top and bottom lashes. After Dick completed the look of the face, he finished the eyes by using a damp brush to apply the Amethyst eye color below the liner on the bottom of the eye, reinforcing the lash line.

LIPS

Dick used a lip brush to apply the NEW! Perfect Rouge Tender Sheer Lipstick in Pout (RS326) lightly. He then layered the NEW! Luminizing Satin Face Color in Medusa (PK107) over the color to set the lipstick and give the color a pearl finish. He finished by applying the NEW! Luminizing Satin Face Color in White Beam (WT905) to the center of the lower lip.
