2017

If your favorite Mac product has vanished from the shelves you can contact “Gone But Not Forgotten.” Just ordered my favorite eyebrow pencils!

As a makeup artist, I have specific favorites that cannot be replaced. Unfortunately, cosmetic companies don’t take this into consideration when pulling that lipstick or eye-shadow out of their line to be replaced with their new pallet for marketing purposes. I’ve wasted more time and money on trying to replace these items only to be frustrated and disappointed. The best solution I’ve found is “Three Custom Color Specialists” who will take your sample to the lab and duplicate the color and texture of your product. Hope this is helpful!

Now that summer is over and the weather is getting colder sun block takes a back seat regarding preference; however, it is still imperative to use it regarding the temperature.

If you have been considering receiving permanent facial injections; think again, as I have worked with several clients who wished they hadn’t. You may assume that you’ll be saving money and won’t have to visit the doctor every six months. Please believe me that you are in for a rude awakening. The fact of the matter is that as the face loses its elasticity and begins to sag those permanent injections don’t continue to fill out the designated areas. They will create lumps and distortion and worst of all cannot be removed without creating scars.

Fall is here so get in the mood! Explore your pallet of Autumn colors such as reds, coppers, deep plums and purples!

I just learned about an excellent, inexpensive color correcting pen. “Maybelline Master Camo Correcting Pen” for dark circles. They come in several colors but I found apricot to work wonders.

I just wrapped up a photo shoot with an Indian model and wanted to share my technique for correcting dark circles under the eyes. I believe it is common knowledge that red is the best way to combat the problem; however, I have find that applying a shimmering orange eye shadow is the best solution. Hope this is helpful!

A few weeks ago, I posted the ingredients and instructions regarding my favorite facial mask using a simple formula of egg yolk and almond oil. Oops, I forgot to suggest that the egg whites can also be used to cleanse the pores. Lather your face and remove with warm water after ten to fifteen minutes.

I realize that what I’m about to suggest may be obvious; however, a recent client complained to me about a new foundation she recently purchased and that it appeared too heavy. I suggested she mix it with her moisturizer and perhaps a bit of sunblock. Needless to say that it is perfectly fine to mix a few colors to achieve that perfect match, especially during the summer when you may need to match your face to your neck, etc.

A mask made from egg yolks and seven drops of almond oil kept on your face for twenty minutes works as well or better than any expensive store bought mask. While cleaning and and softening your skin, it is simple and inexpensive to make. I would recommend using it every two to three weeks. I discovered this  formula many years ago while modeling in Paris and have never found a mask that has worked better for me. Enjoy!
