BEAUTY INSPIRATION

“Lea wanted a fresh, flirty and fun Palm Springs look. We wanted to keep it light since the event was during the day but play up the eyes to give it a bit of a sexy feel.”

Hourglass IMMACULATE Liquid Powder Foundation

This Liquid Powder Foundation by Hourglass Cosmetics is brilliant! Matte powdery finish, oil free, fragrance free,water-resistant, synthetic dye-free, gluten free, and vegan. I was looking for a foundation like this one, liquid to powder matte finish and non greasy. It’s super light on the skin and doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a foundation. You can even skip your powder. Marta approves:)

Hourglass Film Noir Lash Lacquer

What I call the NEW Film Noir Lash Lacquer by Hourglass is revolutionary. By introducing a whole new lash makeup category the Lash Top Coat, Lash Paint, or Lash Lacquer. Quite brilliant. I’m wearing it right now and just love it. It adds instant gloss, bold pigment, length, and volume to lashes. Another plus, it doesn’t rub of and is long lasting. The applicator looks like a lip gloss brush or a nail polish brush. You simply paint lashes top and bottom and done. Super drama. You can also apply after a mascara to elongate the outer corner of your lashes. Needles to say, I’m also impressed with the Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara in Onyx. Star products in my option and a must-have for all the lash lovers.

Madonna at the 2011 Met Gala

Hourglass Artistic Director Gina Brooke did Madonna’s makeup for this evening’s “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. “The Met Ball is one of fashion’s biggest nights out, and I wanted Madonna’s look to be elegant, timeless and absolutely luminous – inspired by 1930s glamour. The focus is flawless skin and ravishing eyes—Madonna’s gorgeous eyes and lashes are among her best attributes—which always resonate on the red carpet,” says Gina Brooke.

How to get Madonna’s makeup look:

Skin:

Prep skin first with Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Daily Serum to increase vital moisture and visibly revive the complexion. Follow with Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, a must-have product for any event because it ensures that makeup lasts all night. It also neutralizes the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores and enables an artist to paint the perfect canvas.

LA PERLA Fall 2010 Makeup by Hourglass Cosmetics

Hourglass Cosmetics lead makeup artist Michael Pierce created the LA PERLA Fall 2010 Collection Preview makeup look. The preview took place at the Lehmann Maupin gallery in NYC on the first day of Fashion Week.

“LA PERLA is known for stunning, one-of-a-kind lingerie,” say Michael Pierce. “Women simply feel beautiful when wearing their pieces and when creating the makeup, I wanted to reflect the inner-confidence and radiance that comes with wearing LA PERLA.”

Makeup Tutorial:

For the LA PERLA collection, I was inspired by 40s Hollywood – Veronica Lake and other silver screen sirens. The focus is on a gorgeous, strong red lip, but a red that every woman can wear. LA PERLA is beautiful, sexy and feminine and nothing portrays a woman’s beauty like the ability to wear a truly stunning red. Hourglass’ “Raven” lipstick is gorgeous and sexy– and works for all women. To add to this look, the eyes are light with tight black eyeliner.
