Makeup Enters a Blue Period

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

applyingmakeup1According to many beauty insiders, blue is the new black.

Your favourite makeup counters are starting to offer more blue makeup eyeliners, mascara, eye shadows and even lipstick. It’s not the pastel blues from the past, this blue is bold and vibrant. 

Makeup artists at counters across North America are also adding blue makeup to their repertoire. A recent article in Huffington Post discussed the topic and referenced recent Paris shows as well as advertising campaigns and magazines for starting the blue makeup trend.

You can try this trend easily and discreetly. Add hints of blue to your eyes with blue tinged eye shadow and even glam up your eyes with a navy or blue mascara. You’d be surprised at how much it brightens the eye area.

Some Real Style Network blue makeup favourites include Illamasqua powder eye shadow in Sadist and Victim. Yves Saint Laurent Volum Effet Faux Cils Mascara in Extreme Blue and 5 Colour Harmony for Eyes in 5 Riviera. NARS Glitter Pencil in Bains Douches and Dior Show Mascara in Azure Blue.

Experiment with colour this coming season! You can pick up these makeup favourites as well as many others at high-end department stores or your local Sephora.

Spring Makeup & Hair

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

With winter on its way out (thank goodness), it’s time to think about makeup and hair care for spring/summer 2010. Celebrity hair stylist Tony Masciangelo and top Canadian makeup artist Diana Carreiro spoke with the Vancouver Sun and offered their top tips and tricks for the coming seasons. For the full article, click here.

longhealthyhair2Q: What hairstyles are you seeing for spring?
TM: The current looks are long, healthy hair. The silhouettes are simple and wearable. To achieve these looks, you can round brush your hair (after applying mousse) to create volume. This will create a soft, sexy, bouncy blow-out. I suggest using Nexxus Maxify Volumizing Foam Styler. What this does is leaves you with really fresh, clean, easy, springtime kind of hair.

Q: Are there any must-have hair accessories?
TM: Definitely decorative elastics that will help you create a more playful look as seen in the Prada campaign, which featured pigtails. There is a youthfulness with hair that is going on. We see a lot of headbands in many soft colours such as rose, nude and salmon.

Q: What looks are you seeing when it comes to makeup?
DC: Orangey, red lips are big. It’s one of those colours that looks lovely with a tan or with pale skin. Mary Kay lip nectar in mango is really nice. It’s a sheer orangey-red, a little bit glossy, and it’s user friendly. Pink is also big for spring. The pink cheeks and pink lips combo is what makes it fresh for this year. I’d recommend Benetint rose tinted lip and cheek stain. It creates a pretty look and is a very versatile two-in-one product.
