Burt’s Bee’s Sensitive Night Cream

Burt’s Bee’s Sensitive Night Cream Review Skin care is something super important if you want to A. Have great skin and B. Have great makeup; so it makes sense to use a product which benefits the skin. After all, every one want’s to look great with and without the help of makeup. Burt’s Bee’s claims that there sensitive night cream provides moisture to the skin for 8 hours without causing redness or irritation. Does it do that? Well sort of… When I use a moisturiser or more specifically a night cream I like to use something that absorbs into the skin almost instantly so I don’t have to worry about product transferring onto pillows, clothing, etc and that’s one thing that I truly love about this product. It provides moisture almost instantly and absorbs into the skin as quick as you can say night cream. It doesn’t leave any residue and unlike other moisturisers I’ve tried it doesn’t spread unevenly. The scent of this is lovely and subtle, too often I’ve tried a moisturiser only to f

Powder Tips/ Skin Care Tips

Use loose powder to set makeup and compact powder for easy touch-ups during the day or night. For excessively oily skin, use Translucent Ultra Matte Powder. For warmer climates or in the summer, take special care to set your foundation with a loose powder, as heat tends to create slipping or running of your foundation. This is especially so in the case of cream foundation as they tend to have a higher oil content. Set your foundations with a Sacha Cosmetics Loose Powder. Keep your compact powder handy for touch ups during the day. If you 'shine' a lot you should use an oil absorbent powder such as Sacha's Ultra Matte Powders in L ight, Medium or Dark. Dust a light layer of pressed powder over the face. A pressed powder with an SPF 15 that includes the UVA-protecting ingredients avobenzone, titanium dioxide, or zinc oxide is an excellent option to assure all day sun protection. Too much color? Most makeup artists dust on a layer of loose powder or pre

LORAC Cosmetic

The Lipstick Page Forums New Releases Blog LORAC cosmetics: Carol's story LORAC COSMETICS Created by celebrity makeup artist, Carol Shaw CAROL'S STORY You might say that I was born into the beauty business. My father was a salon owner/hair dresser and for a time, my mother was a manicurist in Los Angeles, where I was raised. As a teenager, my own struggle with skin problems left me searching for my place in the world. At seventeen I received a graduation present from my aunt: a makeover at a Beverly Hills salon. It was this makeover that literally changed my life. I'll never forget how incredible the makeup artist made me feel and how beautiful I looked. I walked in an awkward teenager, and walked out feeling like Margeaux Hemmingway. I remember thinking, "This is it. This is what I want to do." That single life-altering experience led me first to beauty school at the age of nineteen and then to my first job, as fate would have it, at the ve

Asian Eye Makeup Tips

Asian eye makeup tips should be included in any type of makeup forum, book, or magazine. The tricks that work for other lids just may not cut it on Asian eyes.

That makes it a challenge to apply makeup using traditional methods. Other Asian eyelids do have a crease, but they're still a bit different in length and position on the eye. Some girls prefer to "draw on" a crease with dark shadow, while others experiment with placements of shadows and liner shapes. Eyeliner Tips...... If you're

Mariah Carey's 'Idol' promo pose

Fashion History 1940s

      Make Up 1940s Face make up was in short supply and news of a fresh stock of well known branded lipsticks at the local chemist meant that the shop sold out within an hour. Munitions workers were encouraged to wear make up as a protective barrier to the grit and chemicals they worked amidst. Women working in dangerous conditions were helped to keep up their morale and Max Factor officials from America visited munitions factories handing out the new pancake make up and lipstick. Ponds cold cream, Vaseline and Vitapointe conditioning cream for hair were the few items usually available. Munitions workers often had skin that turned canary yellow if they handled lots of explosive materials. Hair 1940s There was never enough stock of anything, but women still did their best to look good and their hair was important to them. By day it was kept out of sight in a turban or knitted snood which stopped it getting caught in machinery. Generally hair still had some length as women could wa

How It All Began

It all began with an idea....... Several years ago a young artist called me frustraited. She recently moved to Los Angeles and quickly realized she had no idea how to promote herself. She felt that her school taught her the art of makeup well, but she still had no clue on how to start her career. Unfortunately, it was something I could relate to myself. I started my career in the mid-ninites on the east coast, and in 2000 I decided I to pack up my apartment and headed west. I left a studio job and decided to take a gamble with Hollywood. It was then I quickly realized I was going to have to start my career all over again and boy was it ever maddening! I went from being the department head for three shows on Discovery to working at a makeup counter in a department store. I didn't have any connections, the portfolio I had was not up to speed with this competitive market, and no one wanted to help me. I just kept thinking, "There has to be an easier way to do this."
