Festive Makeup Ideas for New Year's Eve and Everyday...

On Sunday December 25th, I had my 4 minutes of fame in the South Florida market.  I had a chance to appear on WPLG Channel 10 Miami - Just News.  I did a segment on Festive Makeup Ideas for New Year's Eve.  It was a great experience, just like my days with Interface Cosmetics.  I did holiday looks on three models, Nina, Ana Maria, and Ariella.

I also used this opportunity to give two of my makeup students from Cosmix School of Makeup Artistry, Rachel (assistant) and Ana Maria (model) a chance to see the operations of a Television studio.

My husband Errol and my son Gregoire also accompanied me.  Gregoire played photographer, while Errol helped me set up.

So thank you Rachel, Errol and Gregoire, and thanks to my models Nina, Ana Maria and Ariella.

Things moved very quickly, I had less than an hour to do three models.  Whew...

Helpful Hints:

• Try using a primer prior to applying makeup to keep makeup lasting longer     Lancôme’s Pure Focus T-Zone Powder Gel or
  Palladio’s Herbal Liquid Foundation Primer 
  Really large pores - try Clinique Pore Minimizer T-Zone Shine Control 
  Skin a bit dry - try Eve Pearl’s Priming Moisturizer with Astaxanthin
                        - Embryolisse’s lait-crème concentre (24 hr miracle cream)

• For longer lasting blush, try using a cream blush, must be applied after foundation but before powder
• Want makeup to hold up all night, set foundation with powder applied with a powder puff, then lightly brush off excess
• To keep lipstick lasting longer, use a light dusting of powder over lips, then apply lip pencil all over, then lipstick with a brush, and then a tad of gloss in the middle of the bottom lip, just the middle to avoid product bleeding all over mouth
• Keep eyes sexy by smudging dark brown, black, or eggplant in the outer corners of the eye.  Use lots of mascara, or try adding false lashes for a very dramatic sexy look
• Keep eyes a soft nude with rosy cheeks, and a full mouth
• Add a tad of glitter to body lotion for a soft shimmer to the skin
• Losing your color in the South Florida cold, add a bronzing powder all over the face for a sexy shimmery look.
