Summer Bridal Makeup Looks by Estee Lauder

Estée Lauder Global Makeup Stylist, Rick DiCecca Creates Summer Bridal Looks. Estée Lauder has created a look for every bride. Whether your outdoor wedding calls for a natural look, or your nighttime celebration insists on dramatic eyes and bold lips, you can achieve your perfect bridal makeup using one of Rick’s four Bridal Styles: Natural, Classic, Dramatic, or Romantic.

To begin each look, prep your skin with your favorite Estée Lauder skincare products. Use a foundation brush to apply your shade of Estée Lauder  Double Wear Light Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10 or Nutritious Vita-Mineral SPF 15 Makeup to even out skin tone for a flawless base. No matter what look you choose, be sure to apply Double Wear Eyeshadow Base from your lashline to the brow to ensure that your eyes stay fresh and glowing throughout the celebration.

Depending on your preferred bridal style, continue application by choosing one of the four looks below.

Bridal Makeup Look 1: Natural: To achieve a natural flawless look on your wedding day, accentuate your features without going overboard with soft, delicate neutrals.


Step 1: Face: After your foundation has set, apply Bronze Goddess Soft Matte Bronzer by using the middle of your ear and the tip of your nose as a guide. Blend the powder towards your nose.

“Elegance is refusal.”-Diana Vreeland. This simple quote perfectly summed up the L’Wren Scott Fall 2009 show, for which Aaron De Mey, Lancôme’s artistic director for makeup, was the lead artist. Instead of hundreds of guests, a jammed backstage and models wearing layers of bright clothes and accessories, everything was calm-and as chic as could be. Only a few dozen guests were invited to attend the show, held at the all-white Gagosian Gallery in New York’s Chelsea art district. The atmosphere, and the clothes, were all about a sultry minimalism, sexy rather than spartan.

Dentist Dr. Jason McCargar Interview With Marta Walsh

My decent smile (image below :), yes, that’s what I call it, is a combination of good genes and my dentist Dr. Jason McCargar.

It takes some time to find a good and reliable dentist in the neighbourhood, and I’m glad I find Dr. McCargar. He recently changed my old Amalgam or silver fillings into beautiful white fillings, and that totally revolutionized my mouth, lol.

I decided to introduce Dr. McCargar to you, just in case you live in Phoenix or Scottsdale AZ area. McCargar is a very professional and talented dentist, and also very friendly and makes you feel at home. Him and his staff really go out of their ways to make you comfortable and well taken care of! OK. Here it is: 

Dr. Jason McCargar is a dentist licensed in both Arizona and Texas. Dr. McCargar’s dental practice in Scottsdale Arizona has built its reputation around providing the highest quality of dentistry to his patients.

In this interview Dr. Jason McCargar talks to Marta Walsh about his fascination with dentistry, what’s it like to be a patient at his dental practice in Scottsdale Arizona, gives advice on selecting the right dentist, and why he believes anyone can achieve a Hollywood Smile.

Marta Walsh: When did your fascination with dentistry begin?
Dr Jason McCargar: Having undergone an extensive smile makeover myself, I was fascinated by how such a small change could have such a large impact on someone’s self-esteem. That was the beginning of my fascination with dentistry-and my desire to help others achieve that same feeling.

MW: How would you describe the “Dr McCargar” dentist experience?
DR JM: My staff and I understand the anxiety that accompanies many people’s visit to the dentist. This is why we are committed to making sure that our patients receive a lot of TLC during their time with us. Providing our patients with many of the comforts of home helps to put them at ease and make the experience of a smile makeover even more rewarding.

Nicolas Degennes Givenchy’s Le Makeup Artistic Director Interview with Marta Walsh

I’m so excited to share with you my interview with Nicolas Degennes, Givenchy’s Le Makeup Artistic Director for Beauty Interviews. Here it is:

Nicolas Degennes is Givenchy’s Le Makeup Artistic Director. Nicolas is the brilliant mind behind Givenchy Spring 2009 Maharani Makeup Collection and of Givenchy’s many other beautiful makeup. I met Nicolas at a Givenchy breakfast in New York City and was absolutely mesmerized with his speech. Nicolas made me fall in love with Givenchy, makeup, beauty, and being a woman. I had to share my life changing experience meeting Nicolas with you.


Nicolas Degennes.

In this interview Nicolas Degennes takes us back to Paris at age 16 where the love for art and beauty began for him, his philosophy about makeup, memorable celebrity collaborations such as with Monica Bellucci, Kristin Scott Thomas and Liv Taylor. Some of the must-have Givenchy products in every woman’s makeup bag, and where he finds his biggest inspirations in life.

Marta Walsh: When did your fascination with beauty begin?
Nicolas Degennes: My passion with makeup and the arts began when I was a child. I left Paris at the tender age of 16 to follow my dream to study the arts, music, theater and photography. While exploring my fascination with arts in a fresh and inspiring environment, I befriended a great makeup artist in New York who introduced me to the world of makeup. Beauty and makeup became my newfound passion, and I have been working in this field ever since.

How to Get Hayden Panettiere’s Golden Globe Makeup Look

Celebrity Makeup Artist Amy Oresman Dishes: Hayden Panetierre’s Golden Globes makeup look using Neutrogena makeup products.

Celebrity makeup artist, Amy Oresman created Hayden Panetierre’s Golden Globe look – now she teaches you her secrets to this flawless face:

Eyes: “With eyes like Hayden’s green sparklers, who needs a load of jewelry? We amped up the brilliance of Hayden’s green eyes with Neutrogena’s newest Nourishing Eye Quad in Vintage Wine. It includes a dazzlingly deep burgundy in a powder powerful enough to act as an eyeliner, which is perfect for creating the smoky look that Hayden adores. I layered on the Vintage Wine at the lash line and doubled it in the outer corners for an extra flash of drama.”

How To Get Khloe Kardashian’s Makeup Look From the PETA Campaign

Makeup artist and photographer, Troy Jensen, photographed and did Khloe Kardashian’s makeup for the PETA Campaign. 


Troy Jensen and Khloe Kardashian.

From Troy  Jensen’s website I can tell that Troy also photographed and did makeup for Kim Kardashian, and Kourtney Karadshian aka the Kardashian sisters:)

How to get Khloe Kardashian’s Makeup Look by Troy Jensen:

My idea for Khloe’s look for the PETA campaign was to embody the inner wild child that she is, still being approachable, sexy, and beautiful. It was all about gorgeous sun-kissed skin and wild hair. To get the look, I called on two other professionals in my field. One, spray-tan Guru Jimmy Jimmy Coco, who bronzes up Hollywood’s top beauties – Victoria Beckham and the Pussycat Dolls, to name a few. I also called upon my long-time friend and colleague, celebrity hair-dresser, Frankie Payne, to create Khloe’s wild textured hair-style.

We also wanted to incorporate Khloe’s awareness for the environment by incorporating a touch of green (“Green is in”).
