FRIDAY FACE-OFF

Friday Face-Off :

This Friday Face-off is: BOLD LIPS
If you tend to wear your lips neutral with minimal to no color - I want you to add color, depth, or brightness. If you are used to wearing bolder colors I want you to go au-naturale, or atleast lighter. If you aren't a gloss wearer - throw on that high shine laquer.

Take some risks, try something new. You may find a new look you love - this is the time for you to not hesitate -  step outside your comfort zone and dig through that makeup bag/drawer.

Bold doesn't translate as clown-like, just different, not the norm, beyond the usual limits.

Email your face-off to me at kristin_paladino@yahoo.com no later than 10pm on Friday evening. They will be posted Saturday on blogspot, twitter and facebook. Check out what others do.

Concealer Must-Have

Kim Kardashian loves it. It was rated "Best in Beauty" by InStyle. The technology is top of the line, the best of the best. We are talking about Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer.

It's available in 4 shades: Ivory, Ochre, Beige, and Honey. It's packed with Anti-Oxidants, Green Tea Extract, and Super Bio Hyleuronic Acid, a patented blend of super hydration for the skin. It's Revitilizing Moisture Complex not only binds moisture to the skin but helps smooth out the overall texture of the skin.

This concealer is best applied with a concealer brush, but is conveniently packaged so it can be used right from the tube or with your finger for those on-the-go. It's known for its flawless coverage, smooth finish and all day wearability with no creasing.

Tip: For those fair skins with maximum darkness under the eyes or scarring on the face you can layer the color Honey under your perfect shade for maximum coverage and color correction. Just Pat Honey on the area of most concern then layering your true concealer color on top blending out the edges.

A definite must-have in your makeup bag as far as I am concerned!!!

Recent work

Today I worked with Holly and Michelle on some new makeup. Always looking to update the craft and continue learning from the feedback of others. So what I found is that layering two concealers really gives great lift under the eye and to the cheek bone without adding too much texture. On Michelle, I layered a correcting concealer to cut out any discoloration and shadowing under her eye. then I applied a brighter concealer to lift the cheek and brighten under the eye. Too many times I see people with soooo much white under there eyes and I wanted to avoid this . I only used a 1.5 shade brighter in the layered concealer to avoid the white under eye circles. I also applied Michelle's blush horizontally on the cheek, from the apple of the cheek straight back toward the ear, rather than going upward on the face toward to avoid any harsh lines and hard contouring to the face. Keeping Michelle's brows soft, just adding density to the outer brow, it kept her brows super natural and less artificial.

With Holly, we experimented with lashes a little and bold liner. We applied false lashes to her outer lower lash line and a ton of liner to the top lid to pull the eye back up so it wasn't too bottom heavy. Her shadow was kept soft on the lid and we extended it out onto the orbital bone around the eye. Her lip was layered with a flesh tone pencil, followed by a deeper line, then a darker lipstick and a gloss.
