19 JulTips for Wearing Makeup in Summer

With summer here and  the heat, I  personally  don’t care for makeup especially after getting out of the shower.  Putting on  foundation and powder can be very heavy,  so here are a  few tips to makeup;  simple and look beautiful without the heavy look of makeup.

  • Start with a good SPF 30 moisturizer.  My favorite is Dermadoctor  ”Ain’t Misbehavin“.
  • Next start with a light weight  foundation and choose a color slighly  deeper than your natural skin tone because light foundation  so it goes on very sheer and the color will give you a beautiful glow.  Recently,  I was  introduced to the Maybelline  ”Dream Moose Matte Makeup” and I just fell in love with it.  This Revolutionary whipped formula provides an air-soft, perfect matte finish coverage, with a weightless feel.  This foundation blends effortlessly and goes on like a cream and dries into powder and you’ll be sure to get an even look.  Finish by applying a little concealer  under the eye will give added radiance.   I didn’t feel the need to finish with a powder so it is optional.
  • I am not a big fan of waterproof mascara but since its been so  hot and if you are planning to be out in that hot sun waterproof mascara is the way to go especially going to the  beach, wedding,  or even a nice hike.
  • Nothing better than that  healthy glow to make you feel better, and one of the easiest ways of achieving this is Bobbi Brown Cheek and lip color.  Dab a little on the cheeks and blend and finish by applying a little on your lips. You are ready for that healthy beautiful summer look.

Choosing the right lipstick for your wedding day can be challenging.  Whether you are looking for the perfect luscious red effect, sheer  shade, matte look, just kissed look, or a glittery  shine, or most staying power lipstick.   I have found the perfect lipstick.  Eve Pearl Lipsticks come in a wide range of beautiful colors,  provide long-lasting lip color that stays true up to 8 -10 hrs, while providing superior nourishing and moisturizing effects.

07 JulWhat is Hot in Makeup: The Palette

I’ve been so busy during this last 3 weeks working on editorials, television, and traveling for makeup shoots. I feel really bad I didn’t get a chance to update my blog as frequently as I like to. During this time  I did come across some great  new makeup products.  One of my favorite new makeup products is the new ”Bobbi Brown Antigua Face Palette” it is Limited Time Offer and only Exclusively at Bobbi Brown online. Usually I am not a big fan of palettes because of the colors choices and not every complexion can use all the colors. But this new palette from Bobbi Brown has amazing selection of colors for all skin complexions. This palette is designed with 3 neutral eyeshadows, 3 beautiful pink shades of lip colors and the most amazing peachy pink bronzer. During my shoots, I tried it on my models and actresses ranging from light pale to darker tone complexion and everyone just loved it, including the photographer.  My favorite part of this palette is the choice of pink lip colors and the peachy pink blush.

23 JunLove this Fragrance

Last weekend, I was wasting time at Nordstrom waiting for some friends and I am usually not the one who love fragrance, but since it was so hot that day, I decided to try on some fragrances. One of the girls who started helping me had this beautiful scent that was woody yet with a hint of spice, mixed with this really fresh clean orange aroma. Although her scent wasn’t very strong, it was soft and fresh yet still nice. I asked her what she was wearing and to my surprise, it was the men’s fragrance “Dolce & Gabbana the one.” So I tried some and totally love it and by the time I met up with my friends, all three of them asked what I was wearing and told me they absolutely loved it. Every time I wear it I get tons of compliments.  Personally, I think it should be unisex fragrance. I bought one as a present for my boyfriend but we both love it.
