10 Best Makeup Artists Tricks for 2012

 

Makeup artist and creative director, Vincent Longo, shares his best-kept secret comes from the red carpet.

 "When doing makeup for celebrities before big events, I always make sure to stain the cheeks and lips before applying the foundation," he says. It's a foolproof beauty back-up plan!

 

Secret #1: A Fresh Face Resist the urge to powder your face every time you refresh your makeup. Instead, use blotting papers to keep makeup intact as you remove excess moisture.

***If you like liquid foundation try ANEW Age-Transforming Foundation with SPF15. A natural finish, Instantly minimizes fine lines, wrinkles, pores and age spots are visibly diminished for a more youthful finish. After 1 week, over 90% of women showed improvements in skin texture and clarity. After 4 weeks, over 90% of women saw a reduction in fine wrinkling and a more even appearance in natural skin tone. Full coverage.

***For a creamy foundation, ExtraLasting Cream-to-Powder Foundation with SPF16 with Medium coverage. Look flawless & natural for 18 hours. Resists water & sweat and stands up to heat & humidity. Feels featherlight and flexible all day with Natural luminous finish

Secret #2: Choosing a Concealer ***Paul Innis, a world-renowned color expert, says for blemishes, its best to use a concealer that matches your skin tone. ***But for undereye circles, go one or two shades lighter.  Paul has perfected the looks of many A-List stars and internationally recognized supermodels. Paul has worked with the Avon color lab to develop an expanded shade palette so now there's a more precise match for everyone.  **PRECISELIGHT TECHNOLOGY has innovative light-adjusting pigments, making your skin look natural wherever you are. Check out **Ideal Shade Concealer Stick in a color that meets your needs.

Secret #3: A Natural Flush Cream blushes and cheek stains will give your face a rosy glow that looks natural. Use your fingertips to blend the product into the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion.

Note that: Peaches and golden hues look beautiful on Fairer complexions;  Coral shades look best on Medium skin tones;  Mauves and burgundies are most flattering on Darker complexions. 

**Be Blushed Cheek Color Adds a healthy-looking glow to your cheeks with a blush of whisper-soft color. Dewy finish...adds moisture to dry skin..especially good during the winter months. Our creamy blush is easy to blend, won't streak.

Secret #4: Defined Cheekbones   Contouring Trick: After applying blush or bronzer to your face, lightly swipe a highlighting powder **Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation made with pure mineral pigments for luminous color. Try Transparent Glow, 730-860 to get the perfect highlighting effect on your cheekbones just above and below the color you've applied. This creates an instant face-flattering effect!

Secret #5: Being a Bronzed Beauty Fake a bake by sweeping golden brown bronzing powder along your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. A powder with light-reflective pigment will give an "airbrushed" glow. Just be careful not to go too dark for your natural skin tone.  **Try Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation in Bronze or a slightly lighter shade to give you that perfect glow.

Secret #6: Subtle, Sexy Eyes Smoky eyes aren't for everyone. If you're fair skinned, the look can be too much. Instead, opt for nude eye shadow (flattering on everyone!) or a pale gold on lids and gray, not black, eyeliner.  **Try True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Earthtones, Blushing Raisins, or Sandy Corals. For a gray eyeliner, take a look at Glimmersticks Eyeliner in Saturn Gray or Starry Night Blue.

Secret #7: Perfectly Lined Lids Unsteady hands can make it a challenge to apply liquid eyeliner. To ensure a smooth line, apply your eyeliner by painting little dots along your lash line, as close to the lashes as possible, then connect the dots. Easy!  **For a liquid eyeliner see Glimmersticks Liqui-Glide Eye Liner in Graphite or Black Plum.

Secret #8: Long, Lush Lashes The key to lashes with tons of length and fullness is to use 2 types of mascara together.  ** Start with a lengthening mascara SuperExtend Mascara, then follow up with a thickening mascara, which has dense bristles to build volume, SuperShock Mascara with 15X the volume of regular mascara.

Secret #9: Fabulously Full Lips To plump up thin lips, exfoliate once a week to stimulate blood flow. Try a moistened toothbrush to gently slough your lips. Then apply clear gloss to the center of your bottom lips; this helps reflect the light to make your pout pop even more.  ** Use BEYOND COLOR Plumping Lip Color SPF 15 with Double the Retinol. 2X the Retinol for smoother-than-ever lips. Retinol is formulated to minimize wrinkles and boost collagen so lips appear more full & lush. Now we've doubled the retinol for greater results.

Secret #10: Lip Color with Staying Power If you want your lip color to last all day, apply lipstick with a lip brush, and then add a coat of translucent powder to set the color.
