L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara
The moment I saw the brush of the L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara, I knew that it was going to be an interesting experience. I tried the mascara and instantly fell in love with it. The spherical brush attacks every single lash individually. It even allows me to apply mascara to lower lashes and lashes in the inner corners. There are no lashes left behind. This has been by far my favorite mascara of all time!! To read more reviews on this and other great L'Oreal products, click here ...

Beauty Tip Of The Week
I was asked by a friend of mine about how to control oily skin. Here are my thoughts:
To control oil, you must first take a look at your skin care.
TIP:
Make sure that you are using a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer for oily skin. You may also want to try exfoliating your skin at least 2 times per week. On a daily basis, you can try using a mattifying gel to wear under your makeup or alone on the skin.

Total Beauty Product Review

I tested the product where I could. It seemed to work well, but I am not in need of a tan. My body is bronzed naturally. :-) I loved the fresh scent of the bronzer. I did notice that it contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid, so if wearing, be sure to wear a sunscreen to prevent sunburn. A bronzer is not something that I will continue to use on myself, but I will definitely use it on my clients when the opportunity presents itself. Read more...
Total Beauty Product Review

Anything from the L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care system is going to be a winner for me. The UV protect spray has a wonderful fragrance...Rosemary Mint. Its lightweight and refreshing. I love it because it gives my hair added protection and the moisture that it needs to prevent breakage. Two thumbs up!!!

TIP:
Never use BLACK powder or pencil to fill in your brows. Black is too harsh of a color. If you dont believe this, test it out. Use a black product one day and then try a dark brown the next day.

Beauty Tip of The Week
Its time to clean out your makeup bags. If you have products that are more than a year old, its time to make some changes. Get rid of any mascaras that are older than a month. If you have it longer than a month and it's sitting in your bag or drawer, then you are not using it. If you are not using it, then it's definitely not good. Take inventory and start cleaning house!!!

Beauty Tip Of The Week
If you are experiencing 'Cystic acne' please make sure that you are cleansing your face no more than twice a day. Over cleansing may aggravate the acne.
Here are a few preventive measures that you can take in preventing cystic acne:
1) Cleanse your skin properly with the proper products
2) Reduce your stress levels
3) Be careful of any food sensitivities
4) Make sure you understand any prescription drugs that you are taking
One of my actresses on 'Drop Dead Diva' is experiencing 'Cystic Acne', so I thought I would share this tip with you all.

Beauty Tip Of the Week

TIP:
Don't get stuck using the same foundations year after year. If you love what you are using, great. Keep using it. But, it's always good to change the type (liquid, cream, etc) of foundation that you are using based on your skin and the seasons. During the Spring/Summer, you may need something thats lighter in texture (liquid). During the Fall/Winter, your skin may need a little extra moisture. In this case, a cream would work. The most important thing to remember is, keep trying until you discover what works best for you.

IMATS - What a BLAST!!!
The International Makeup Artist Trade Show (IMATS)- Pasadena, CA affectionately called, 'The Show' is two days (June 20-21,2009) of pure joy (for me anyway). The show is produced by Makeup Artist Magazine (Publisher Michael Key). Before I go any further, I must clear up something. IMATS has been around for more than 10 years. It is currently being confused with another show produced by the other Michael. The Makeup Show is produced by Michael DeVellis of the Powder Group. That show has been around for a few years now. What's so special about IMATS (The Show) is that it is really for those who love the 'art' of makeup. If you want to create creatures and apply bald caps this show is for you. If you want to create great beauty fantasy looks, this show is for you. It covers every aspect of makeup. Although, I do wish that it would incorporate a little more special effects and tone down a little on some of the beauty makeup companies. Don't get me wrong, but there are a lot of companies with the same product (ex. Mineral makeup with glitter and shimmer shadows and pigment). All in all, this has been the best IMATS show in a long time. Great job!!

Beauty Tip Of The Week
To correct a short chin, begin below the lip and highlight down to the end of the chin. This will give the appearance of an elongated chin.
To correct an elongated chin, shade underneath the chin in a darker shade of foundation. This will shorten the chin.

Beauty Tip Of The Week
I was walking through the mall on Saturday, headed to F2O (Fresh To Order) and I saw a Latino woman who looked to be in her early to mid 20's. Her lips were lined with BLACK eyeliner. UGH!!!!!! Thats a no,no in my book! Here are the reasons why this is not a good idea:
1) It doesn't look good at all
2) Its dated. Woman of color were doing this in the 80's. It's 2009!!! Stop it!
3) It doesn't complement anyone's lips.
4) Eyeliner is meant for the eyes and not the lips.
5) There is not ONE cosmetics company that makes black lipliner (if there is, please let me know)
TIP:
Please do not wear Black eyeliner on your lips!
I did not want to go there with you all, but I had to!!!
