Tis the season of the cough&cold…

December 29, 2010 by meagles13

I don’t know about everyone else but I’ve definitely caught “what’s going around”. Aside from not feeling to hot, it’s hard to look hot! Here are a few quick tips to keep you looking like your gorgeous self even with a cold! Problem 1: You have the “no makeup” nose going on because your continuous nose-blowing has wiped it all off. What to do: If you’re out keep a little bit of tinted moisturizer with you to help conceal the redness. […]

To Prime or Not to Prime

December 27, 2010 by meagles13

What is a primer? Just like paint, makeup needs a primer. Would you paint a wall or a canvas without first priming it? Probably not. Adhesion, hide, and colour retention are reasons why you use a primer before painting… so doesn’t it seem logical that you should use a primer on your face as you are ultimately painting your face? Foundation primers have many benefits which include: creating a perfectly smooth surface to apply your makeup to, filling in fine […]

Holiday Makeup 2010

December 27, 2010 by meagles13

The holidays are all about glaming it up and making sure you shine! The trend this season isn’t too far off from that. We’re seeing alot of smoky and glittery eyes, lusterous cheeks, and bold red lips. Eyes Nothing attracts better attention than a smoky, sultry gaze. To amp up the drama, use shimmery white, silver and black shadows. If your eyes are small, keep the dark shadow close to your lash line and smoke it out. You can add […]

Complexion Perfection

December 27, 2010 by meagles13

On a mission to find more great books for my collection I have recently picked up Kate Sommerville’s Complection Perfection. What a great book! Not only does Sommerville give advice on how to deal with any skin type she adds great detail about the anatomy of the skin, how what you eat benefits or hurts or skin, and what you should look for in products. She teaches WHY you should do these things for your skin to truly help any […]

Summer Makeup 2010

December 27, 2010 by meagles13

I think it’s safe to say summer is finally here! Long days at the beach, parties, ice cold drinks… What else could a girl ask for? I absolutely love summer. I live for the hot, sunny, carefree days. Summer is about taking advantage of everything that comes along and not worrying about a thing- including your makeup. Gone are the days where makeup will melt right off of our faces. There are makeup options for everyone… even for girls who […]

Importance of Skin Care

December 27, 2010 by meagles13

How many times have you come home late at night and went straight to bed with a pile of makeup on your face? We’re all guilty of it. Doing this once or twice every so often isn’t a big deal (although I still don’t recommend it) but making this a habit is a definite no-no! Why? Well you should think of your face as a piece of canvas. Would DaVinci have painted the “Mona Lisa” on a canvas that was […]

Fake It: My Guide to Self-Tanning

December 27, 2010 by meagles13

Ok everyone, everyday I read someones facebook status about them going tanning and I think “whyyyy do girls continue to put themselves at risk day after day just for tan?” Don’t get me wrong I loveee the feeling of the warm sun and the glow that your skin has after tanning but is it really worth the risk of cancer, premature aging, & even immune system changes? There’s a myth that going tanning in a bed is better than tanning […]

The Body Shop Vitamin E Line

December 27, 2010 by meagles13

Ever since I switched skin care products around 6 months ago I started breaking out like crazy. I was using the Vichy Normaderm line. Thinking that this was just because it was a new product that my face was adjusting to I continued to use it thinking it would get better. I was wrong. I stopped using that and still found that no matter what product I used my skin still wasn’t clear like it used to be. In fact […]

Candy Inspired Makeup

December 27, 2010 by meagles13

I don’t know what it is right now but I’m obessed with candy inspired makeup. Paul Innis’s “Candy Land” is what had originally inspired me. The way he brought the colours of candy as well as textures such a coloured sugar and sprinkles onto his models faces amazes me. This has led me on the path of discovering new materials that can be applied to faces and not just relying on makeup itself. These lips are my favourite piece from […]

Best Beauty Books

December 27, 2010 by meagles13

When I first decided to turn my passion for makeup into something I could share with other people I went out and bought every makeup related book I could find. I was in love with the first book I picked up. Not because it was the 1st real makeup manual I have ever read but because I truly believe it is a makeup bible. The “Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual” covers everything from beginner to pro. It’s an easy to follow […]
