Welcome to LA TV. We have a step by step 4 part episode of how to recreate Victoria Beckhams signature makeup look. We’re nearing the end of our Victoria Beckham celebrity inspired make-up look..after watching these demos, you will be highly qualified to try and create the look yourself.
Don’t worry if you don’t have the exact products our make-up artist, Sarah Jane Wai O Flynn is using, just try and match it to a close product and a very similar look can be achieved!
We spend so long creating fabulous looks; it seems a shame to wipe all that lovely makeup off our faces sometimes! But it has to be done; we all know what happens to girls who sleep in their makeup; spots and other nasty skin conditions. These are the make up removal tools and products which professional makeup artists use:
If you use a cloth make sure you wash it frequently; heat it by running hot water over the cloth to make sure you get everything off!
The girls at Beaut.ie rave about oil cleansers in their Guide to Gorgeous and we agree; oils lift all foundations and product clear off the face leaving you smooth and glowing.
Mascara should be carefully wiped off with cotton wool (and baby oil for waterproof mascara removal); try to avoid scrubbing your eyelashes when they’re thick with product.
Cleaning gives your skin a chance to breath all night. And of course saves you waking up looking like a raccoon having gone to bed a Goddess! What do you use to cleanse the night away?
Even the make-up experts here at LA Make-Up in Dublin, London and LA think they can do better every year. These are some of the thing we’ll be better in 2010!
Trying New Looks!
It’s easy to get stuck in a rut and amble along with the same products. But there are so many new products out there; try one a week and see what happens.
Changing Colours
Yes, brown is a nice safe look for our eyes. But do we want to look safe all the time? Read the magazines for inspiration and rock those colours.
Wearing More Makeup
It can be such an effort sometimes to look good but it’s so worth it! Let’s all try to get up a few minutes earlier and get it right.
Cleaning out Our Makeup Bags
We all have empty product tubes and boxes sitting at the back of the makeup kit; time to clean them up and start the New Year with a new set.
Following a Cleansing Routine
We all know we should eat more fruit, drink more water and use a gentle cleaner but do we do it every week? Let’s begin now!
Using the Right Tools
Fingers are OK for some products but really we’re all grown-ups now and we should invest in some brushes. Start with one and aim to have a full set for this time next year!
Finding New Clients
If you’re a makeup artist then make this the year you find a new direction, look for clients who will challenge you at work. Talk to other people in the industry and network, network, network.
How to look glam and fresh when you’ve had a month of parties already?
Number One is your Granny’s favourite - drink lots and lots of water. Tea and coffee don’t really count so make sure keep water glasses on the go as well. Even when you’re out it’s a good idea to mix water with wine so to speak.
Then cleanse, cleanse, cleanse. No matter how tired you are over the Christmas days remember to take off that makeup.
Invest in some heavy-duty exfoliators and masks. You don’t have to spend a fortune; Boots has some great mud-masks for €1.38
On the afternoon of the 31st spend some time soaking your face and loading up with last-minute minerals. Look for products which shrink pores and tighten skin - temporarily anyhow!
No matter how tired you are; take the time to wash your hair well and use lots of conditioner to add some shine from the top down.
Only use concealer in the darkest spots! Apply a luminous foundation everywhere else to shine in all the right ways.
Use a highlighter on your cheekbones, the inner corner of your eye and a gentle line down your nose - not too much there or you’ll look like Rudolph.
Add some shimmer across your chest and along the shoulders but again use a light hand.
