How to Avoid Problems with Your Powder

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Okay, ladies, when you have finally put powder on your skin to finish your makeup application, there may be times that you notice that your final product is not what you would like it to be. This is not something to be overlooked, so do not continue with your makeup application until your skin is looking its best! There are just a couple things you may want to look for in troubleshooting your powder problems, as recommended by an expert in wedding makeup San Antonio.

  • Ashy: Look for a warmer powder color or use a bronzer.
  • Orange: Your skin may be too oily, or you may need to use a paler powder color.
  • Flaky: Your skin is too dry — use a moisturizer to remedy the problem.
  • Cakey: Make sure that you did not over moisturize your skin causing the powder to clump up on the surface of the skin.

 

I hope that these tips have helped to give you a pro makeup application every time!

How to Have the Best Lips

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

For starters, I have to say that the number one thing that you can do to preserve your pucker is to always be using a lip balm with an SPF. After that, one of the best things that you can do to always have a flawless lip color application is to exfoliate your lips really well because color will only look best on a smooth surface. There are glycolic acid lip treatments available that you can leave on overnight to slough off all of the dead cells on your chapped lips. Another cheap at-home remedy is to brush your lips with a toothbrush, as crazy as that sounds! Finally, a great lip enhancing makeup trick from expert in wedding makeup San Antonio is to use a lip liner color is slightly lighter than your lipstick to first outline the natural lines of your lips and then follow by filling in with your lip color. This is the best way to keep your lipstick in place. And after that, happy smooching!

Soft Bridal Makeup Look

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

If you are hoping to have a makeup style that will showcase your natural beauty and help you bat your doe eyes at your hubby to be, then look no further than the rosy hued look rocked by J.Lo. This will flatter any skin type since the dusky pink shades are going to compliment the depth of your skin tone, as well as your stunning white dress when you walk down the aisle. Go for a rose shade around your top and bottom lids, and shade with a deeper pink or rosy plum color on the crease of the eye. Finally highlight the inner corner of the eye with the lightest pink hue in your palette to fully open up your eye area and show off your peepers, which is recommended by a San Antonio Quinceanera makeup artist. This will be best complimented with a sheer pink lip and natural blush. You beautiful bride, you!

What to Expect from Laser Hair Removal

Monday, April 27th, 2009

If you have a big day coming up like, I don’t know- your wedding- then you may be considering some of the many options to make you that much more flawless. Laser hair removal is growing increasingly popular, according to a San Antonio makeup artist, because it gives you the option of permanent hair removal and beautiful, smooth skin for your big day. So if you are looking to defuzz your lip and especially bikini area, then know that you will have to get around 5-7 treatments since this will be a process. The reason for this is that your hair grows in cycles, so you have to take the course of time to make sure that you are catching all of the hair that grows back for permanent hair removal. Also, after you treatment, expect to be red and have raised bumps from the hair follicle being killed and swelling. This means that you do not, I repeat, do not want to do this anywhere near three weeks before your wedding day. Other than that, prepare for some pain, and be ready to be fuzz free for a long time to come!

If you are looking for a new and fun way to make your eyes pop, then look into altering the hue of your eyeliner as you know it. If you use the navy liner that is so hot right now, recommends an expert in wedding makeup San Antonio, you will notice that it brightens up the whites of your eyes in contrast so you look even more flirty and fresh. Trace carefully along your lash line with a smaller liner brush so that your cat eyes are not too dramatic, but do feel free to bring the top line of your eyeliner beyond the outer corner of your lids.

The Hottest Summer Makeup Looks for 2009

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

I am as ready as you are for more fun in the sun because summer is truly upon us. Now, before you begin wondering where to start on your summer makeup, here are a few summer makeup tips from myself, a San Antonio Makeup Artist to add to your bag of tricks for 2009.

  • Foundation: Start with a tinted moisturizer with an SPF so that you are getting natural coverage with the best dewy glow. If you do feel that your skin is too oily for just a moisturizer, then you can add a light powder foundation for a basic coverage.
  • Blush: In your summer beauty bag, pack sheerer blush options, like peaches and pinks that can go on lightly to give you that kissed by the sun splash of color. You may have heard it 100 times, but when you suck in you cheeks to apply blush, the color will go on more naturally to the apples of your cheeks.
  • Lips: You definitely want to go for poppy lip hues that work with a hydrated pout. Summer is a great time to use balms with sunscreens and then top with a light pinky hue to give you a fresh look.

Surfs up!
