Michelle Obama Inauguration Makeup

Wow! Get Excited! I had to post Michelle Obama Inauguration makeup created by Ingrid Grimes-Myles...
"Mrs. Obama's look is not not an avant-garde look. It's not a fashionista or Vogue -spread type of thing. 'It's a professional woman look," said the stylelist. "We want her to be read very natural and polished," said Ingrid Grimes-Myles, Michelle Obama's friend and makeup artist who created her Inauguration day look with black liner, natural makeup and nude lips. Though Michelle does not endorse any beauty brands, Grimes-Myles let it slip in a Chicago Tribune interview that Michelle's oft-admired lip color is a variety of M.A.C. lip pencils-one darker, one light-plus lipstick and gloss, which Grimes-Myles custom-mixes. She goes easy on the blush for Obama and all women of color, preferring to contour and shade the face. "For women of color, they don't really blush," Grimes-Myles said. "You should [add] blush where you naturally blush." For the brows, she employs Tweezerman tweezers and a combination of brow powders and pencils. Until next time...feel free to leave a comment.

HOW TO FIND THE BEST LIP COLOR

Great day! BBWO...Today I'm going to share with you some awesome information on how to find the best lip color.The ideal neutral lip color is like the perfect pair of jeans; it is a basic that you can dress up or down, and it will always look great on you.Put it in neutral. The most versatile lipstick you can win is a shade that’s just a bit brighter than your natural lip color. It will even out and define your lips the way a subtle coat of mascara draws attention to your eyes. For some people, that color is a peachy brown or rosy pink; for African-American woman, it might be eggplant. Keep in mind that neutral lipstick shouldn’t be the color of concealer (a look that only works on the runway) and that a matte lipstick that is lighter than your natural lip color will wash out your face.Try it right. Use the middle of your lower lip as a guide when looking for the right color, and try lipstick on in the daylight for the most accurate assessment. If you’ve tested more than three or four shades, take a break—your lips will be strained. You may also need to find a new color if you’ve been out in the sun a lot, since your lips might be darker.Know yourself. As a makeup artist, I learned quickly that the color of your lips affects the way lipstick looks. If you see your friend wearing a great color, don’t assume it will be right for you. Her shade might look ashy or muddy on your lips.Mix it up. Every season has its lipstick trend, and just because your perfect color is pinky, beige or neutral, that doesn’t mean you can’t wear deep burgundy. Apply one coat of wine, burgundy, or any other color you want to try on top. Even the craziest lipstick shade can be adjusted to suit your coloring.Now!

LIPSTICK TRICKS

How can I keep my lipstick from bleeding?Lipstick bleeding outside the line is not a pretty sight, but it’s nothing a little powder can’t fix. With wedge sponge in hand apply powder to the corners of your mouth, where bleeding usually occurs. This might remind you of eating a powdered doughnut, but what a difference it makes. Whisk away powder with clean end of your sponge, and your lipstick will no longer overstep its boundaries.

How can I make my lipstick last longer?Would it be great if you could go the entire day eating & drinking with your lipstick intact? Well, you can. First liberally apply your favorite shade of lipstick. Then place a tissue over your mouth, blotting all the while. Dust loose powder on top of the tissue with a powder brush, in order to set the lipstick. Remove the tissue, and then reapply lipstick. There you have it-beautiful color with staying power.For a complimentary consultation send an email to cmitcham@marykay.com or leave a comment.

"Natural, " "Pure," "Safe" are the hot new buzzwords popping up all over your local beauty isle. Cosmetics so natural and pure you can sleep in them? Whoa! That's a pretty bold claim. But, companies are not afraid to bank on it. With talk of Global Warming and Eco-conscience sending the world in a panic everyone is trying to become more green-friendly and aware of the items that touch their hair and skin.Mineral makeup is supposed to contain all natural elements from the earth, broken down into the smallest particles so as to be absorbed into and help heal the skin. But, according to WebMD article I found, these new lines or mineral-laden products can either be the best thing smoking or the greatest beauty scam of all time.Not all of these Mineral come from the Earth and some can actually exacerbate your problems.Bismuth oxychloride, the main stuff that gives your skin the "glow" while using mineral makeup, is a byproduct of lead and copper processing.
"Bismuth oxychloride is considered a skin irritant and can cause itching and rashes and in large amounts it can cause cystic acne as well – it's one of the ingredients you should try to avoid if you have acne or Rosacea or sensitive skin,"read the rest of story
