MIX IT UP

posted 2010 Apr by Laura Gorman

As a makeup artist I am always combining colors to get the look I want to achieve. Here is the way you can do it!
MINERAL SHEER TINT SPF-
This Sheer foundation has a natural Glow. It gives you that summer Beach look! Have you ever looked at your skin when you just finished working out, that sheen that makes your face look full of life! That is what this does!! Sometimes I just add a bit of this foundation to a matte foundation, it gives it a boost in the glow direction.
Colors: Porcelain/Cameo Glow/Natural Glow/Beach Glow/Honey Glow

Next a CREME BLUSH or POWDER BLUSH WITH A SHIMMER-
Add the crème blush under your blush for staying power or apply a blush with shimmer on top of the blush you have. Use a light hand, so you don’t overdo it.
This continues the summer glow, apply to the apples of the cheek and blend toward the hairline.
Crème Blush- Sangria/Lotus/Cocoa Spice/Baby cakes
Powder Blush with a Shimmer – Coral Sun/ Cinnabar/Too Sexy/ Too Hot

CREME EYESHADOW
-An Eye shadow with shimmer or a pearl to it as close to your skin color is a great base. Next line your eyes thick and then smudge the two together! This is the start of a fantastic smoky Eye. To take it to the next level applies a dark eye shadow over the top!
CREME EYESHADOWS – Naturalle/ Moss/ Truffle Antique Gold/Bronze Frost
POWDERLINER PENCILS – Coal or Chocolate
POWDER EYESHADOW – Downtown/ Celebrity/ Booty/Bronzite/ Topaz

LIPS- Transform your regular lipstick. Add a gloss with shimmer!

MICRO-BUBBLE LIPSTICK – MICRO PRIMROSE with LUMISHINE – CANDY gloss on top
LIPSTICK SPF 15 – HUSH – with BLAST OFF – Lumishine gloss on top
MICRO BUBBLE LIPSTICK – MICRO HEATHER – with Liquid Lips – FRESH – gloss on top
MICRO BUBBLE LIPSTICK – MICRO TEABERRY – with Lumishine MIRACLE -gloss on top
MICRO BUBBLE LIPSTICK – MICRO TERRA with Liquid Lips – CHAMPAGNE – gloss on top

This can maximize your makeup staying power and also take your winter makeup and turn into a softer daytime spring/summer look!!

Makeup 101-SMOKY EYES

posted 2008 Jun by Laura Gorman

SMOKY EYES
This is probably my biggest request. Whether it is a model I am working with or a woman I meet. Everyone one wants to have smoldering sexy eyes. Lets make this perfectly clear it does not matter the shape or size or color of your eyes. Here are the tips, tools and products you will need: Start by putting Super Wear creme shadow(any of the colors will work)on your eye lid. The darker the Super Wear Creme shadow the smokier the eye will be. next, put your dark eye shadow color right on your eye lid, from your lid to the crease of your eye and also underneath along the lash line. This color could be gray, or blue or purple or black or brown or taupe or sny other color you like. Take a look at all the eye shadow colors I offer. There are no limits to your versatility If you have a nice variety to choose from. Now one of my favorite products- GEL EYE LINER: Again I have alot of color choices. Black, Brown, Blue, Aqua, Silver, Dark Purple, Mushroom, Copper, Black Cherry….. You will need to use a brush with this. I prefer the angle liner brush.(see tools)
1. Put this Gel Liner as close to your lashes as possible. 2. Put the gel liner on the bottom again as close to the lashes as possible. This product is water resistant so the wearability is awesome! Curl your eyelashes.(see tools) Yes it is not a fashion trend only from the 80’s…I have been using this for years and I use one on Photo Shoots every time I do a models makeup! apply 2 coats of Black mascara If you want, now is the time to try false eye lashes! I love them, they make the eyes pop. I sell Demi’s which go on the outer corners of the eyes.(see kits)
Enjoy your smoky eyes!!
