Make-Up for Darker Skin

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

oscar-image We’ve still got Oscar fever here at LA Makeup! Did anyone else see Gabourey Sidibe, Oscar-nominated for her role in Precious and think WOW! She looked so great. We wanted to tell every insecure teenager in the world to look at that smile. Yes, it does help if you’re wearing Marchesa and have your makeup done by Toby Fleischman but still, we loved her look.

Toby said: ‘After seeing the magnificent Marchesa gown, it was an easy choice as to what her make up look should be – keep it simple and toned down so she could shine with her amazing spirit and beauty.’ He used:

MAC Studio Fix Fluid
Makeup For Ever Aqua Eye Liner (Black)
CoverGirl Smoky Shadow Blast stick in Bronze
Nars Blush in Lovejoy
Estee Lauder Tiger Eye Lipstick
Clinique Long Last Glosswear in Gold Spun

So the next time you’re working with clients try out this look and see if you can bring some red-carpet glow to someone’s life! Let us know how you go with it too!

Thanks to Talking Makeup for sharing her chat with Toby.

LA Make-Up loving the Oscars

Monday, March 8th, 2010

sandra-bulock-make-up-look-at-the-oscars-2010 Well, we stayed up way too late last night to catch the Oscar glitz. Not feeling too chirpy this morning but it was worth it! Our three favourite looks were from Sandra Bullock, Carey Milligan and Penlope Cruz. Very different looks but all sharing the new bared-back approach.

Sandra Bullock – once we got past the sensual silver dress, we loved how simple her look was. Her make-up artist is Sandra Levin and she used classic Chanel foundation CHANEL Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Fluid Make-up in Shell to give Sandra that dewy look and darkened her eyelids with brown shadows from Les Regards de CHANEL Palette. The stunning red lips were created with CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Paris.

Carey Mulligan could be a good model for your younger clients; notice her bleached eyebrows and the lightness of her hair-colour as well as the barely-there makeup.

Jennifer Lopez had a great look for darker skin with Nars products. Matthe Vanleeuween used Orgasm illuminator to give that soft look to hers kin, and added drama to her eyes with the new Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base and also applied the D. Gorgeous Single Eyeshadow with Brousse Duo Eyeshadow. He finished off with Crusing Lipstick and gloss.

Thanks to Talking Makeup and Makeup For Life for the inside tips on products!

What was your favourite Oscar look?
