Make up Don't Break Up

November 29th 2008 18:25
Make up or War paint
There is a lot of different beliefs regarding make-up, in my opinion less is more. When your are young mother nature has given you a beautiful wrinkle free complexion so why hide under layers of oil or water based artificial pigment. Let you natural beauty shine through remember make-up is only to improve on what was given to you at birth. I have been a fully qualified cosmetologist for about 15 years now and I have advised this to my younger clients. Teenagers through lack of confidence pile it on thinking that they will hide all their imperfections when really they had just highlighted them, you see that is what make-up is a highlighter it draws attention to the good bits. A young girl starting out a bit of lip gloss and some mascara that’s all you need. At night in your room maybe with friends practice eye shadow and blush, make sure it is a friend who will tell you the truth. I used to have make-up parties when my friends were sleeping over we had great fun, trying to improve each other or just making a monster out of each other. Give it a try girls you need to hide nothing so this is your time to shine.

Getting older it happens to us all, I am in my 30’s and noticing some new lines that were not there before. Don’t think you can fill them with make-up it does not work remember in my previous paragraph you will just highlight them. His is when you take the focus off them, pay attention to your eyes but not too heavy just define them more with eyeliner and the brow bone should be a light shade. Define your lips more with lip pencil it also stops colour bleeding. Your blush should be minimal just highlighted. When your eyebrows are perfectly tweezed, your eye shadow is applied well along with definition created with the eye pencil, your cheeks hollow highlighted with a light blush maybe some highlighter at the top of the cheek and the most perfectly defined kissable lips ever you will be giving the stars a run for their money.

Getting on a bit believe it or not you use less make-up. My most important tip is lighter shade off lipsticks is the way to go because darker shades make you look older, try it you will see for yourself. Do not fall into the trap of too much powder I call them scone ladies, you should use a base near to your skin colour, lightly defined eyes and definitely lip liner because of colour bleeding. If you follow these steps you can embrace getting older because that brings its own beauty, the kind that shines from the inside.

Hair Today Not Gone Tomorrow

November 29th 2008 18:22
Hair
It does more than keep your head warm.
Hair can show a quiet, confident, trendy etc. Person. The colours you can get nowadays are exceptional, but also remember get advice because skin tone and lifestyle plays a big part, instead of complimenting you it can go horribly wrong. Each person is a individual and therefore will suit different things. Have a good look at yourself in the mirror, notice your colour of hair especially base tones ( (the actual colour black, brown. Red, blonde) then notice the natural highlights (best seen in daylight) Hair is made from the 4 basic pigments Black, brown, red, blonde whatever pigment you have most of is your all over colour. Highlights you will notice more at the front, hair is always that bit lighter at the front because of the elements. Now that you have got that sorted out what colour should you go for.
A major change blonde – black this be a disaster if not done right. You have to use red pigment to avoid it turning green “not pretty” and the same vice versa.
Any colour can be achieved if you have got the confidence to try it and a change is as good as a holiday so go for it. Some people you have to strip the colour out of the hair completely in order to get the desired result.
Hair come under the fast growing cell category, it does not stop keeps on going as long as you do that is how when receiving chemotherapy it falls out. Chemotherapy targets fast growing cells like cancer in order to stop them and unfortunately stop the hair cells too but still a small price to pay because it usually grows back in.

In other words I am a Cosmetologist.

Cosmetology explained
You have you hairdresser some which are very good and unfortunately some who are very bad. Qualified hairdressers cut, perm, colour, style and are basically your confidante. Beauticians on the other hand manicure, pedicure, give facials, wax and again are your confidante.
Cosmetology incorporates the 2 but cosmetologists have to know anatomy, contra indications of certain treatments, We can do various massages and I have also been blessed with healing capabilities, the chemical reactions that happens during procedures etc and of course your confidante but anything you tell a cosmetologist is sacred we have signed the official secrets act so you will always be secure in the knowledge whatever you say will not go any further.
We are not doctors and cannot help you with medical procedures. We can advise you best course of action if it includes anything that we can do for you. It is only advice though always back it up with your doctor.
Cosmetologists want the best for you we will not sell you any lotions or potions because the human race is so diverse you are already using the right cream etc. The stuff we use can only be used by trained professionals.
We can advise on skin conditions, hair conditions, skin and hair procedures, make-up and maintenance to name but a few. You can be secure in the knowledge that you are in good hands we want the best for you and you alone. Cosmetologist’s love the human form and are always amazed at the way it can heal it’s self. You will always have a good friend someone you can talk to, confide in and lean on.

vamp lips

Vamp Up Your Lips

As a Professional, Celebrity Hair & Makeup Artist who works on both sides of the Atlantic (NY & London) I am always searching for what the next hot look will be. Funny thing is no matter how trends in beauty may change- one iconic look always pops up every other season- the Golden Age of Hollywood. For a glamourous evening out, a 1940's vamp is always a winner. A strong lip always makes bold statement and it's easy to pair up eyes with just a few lashings of lovely mascara.

This past London Fashion Week I designed an entire makeup look for the Cassimi label's debut show just around a statement lip. The designers wanted an homage to 1947. I found the most delicious red- plum shade from Nars- Scarlet Empress from their latest collection. I kept the skin even and matt, added touch of bronzer on the cheeks and eyes to keep everything neutral, a bit of dark brown eye liner on the top layer of lashes and then let the lips do the talking. It was a show stopper and gave a clean modern twist to an old classic.

For an extra vamp effect and to give the lips a touch more pout- I took a dark brown lip pencil and only shaded in the corners of the mouth leaving the cupids bow of the lips full and puckered.

One thing that is important to watch out for with dark lips is that it can high light stained teeth so I found using a product like new Pearl Drops Instant White will work wonders. You paint it on the teeth like a nail varnish and it gives a bit of pearly white sparkle to the teeth, masks yellow stains like a tooth makeup and comes off easily when you brush your teeth! Super for smokers and coffee drinkers.

If you want to know more hints, tips or tricks- you can write to me at www.bebo.com/rachelmakeup Also check out internet soap opera TV drama- Sofia's Diary where I will be popping up in a few episodes in the next few weeks.

Make up Trends Spring/Summer '07/08

STARS IN YOUR EYES
Bobbi Brown Metallic Collection
Make your eyes shimmer, sparkle and dance and stock up on the range of metallic eyeshadow because it’s all about bringing focus to your eyes this spring/summer season. Opt for lighter metallic shades like white, pink or gold during the day and more dramatic shades like purple, blue and forest green at night. Apply a lighter shade of metallic eyeshadow over the entire eyelid, working into the inner corners of the eye and use a darker shade into the crease of the lid. Line the inner sides of your eye with a black or dark brown eyeliner for a smouldering effect.

Pout Pump - Collagen in a tube

May 29th 2006 02:30
Insert Title Here


My attention was brought back to the Pout Lip Plump after noticing that it has won the CEW beauty award for 2006. Immediately this jolted unpleasant memories a few months ago as their promotional staff (dressed in Mardi Gras gear) stopped my fellow shopper and I in the lingerie section at Myers. I was immediately enchanted by the packaging, which felt like firm, plump lips, which naturally means the product will make your lips feel like the packaging...right?
