TOUCHE ÉCLAT

This ever so popular Radiance Highlighting God-has now launched a new color
For those with a more yellow skin tone.

TOUCHE ÉCLAT NUMBER 8

This product has been living and re-living in my kit for six years.
All you makeup artist out there know that-we rarely ever purchase the same items to replenish our kits with.
I love love love this product-not only for how easy it is to use and blend but its attractive to use and great portability because it is light weight and the lid on the cap seals tight.

This Radiance Pen is used anywhere that I need a little pop even under the lips and under eyeshadow or just under the ends of the eyebrows-a fool proof way of highlighting.
I generally don't use it as a concealer but-I have and its a nice light to medium coverage.
Another great option is just to use this MEGA STAR PRODUCT to refresh your self during the day to night transformation with out having to go home and start all over again.

I use my Armani Blender brush while I am blending but it is not necessary you can use your fingers or the brush applicator that comes with it.

Number 1: has a slight salmon pink tone to it great for those dark circles and vain spots on the face.
Number 2: has a nice peachy ivory tone as I like too call it-I use it for those with a little more olive in there skin,
Number 3: is for my TAN beauties. I used on a black woman under her foundation to give the center of her face a little more glow and pop-kind of like what a RING FLASH would do-so she could walk around like a Beauty Shot all day.
Now it is time for Number 8-to Shine. the most yellow beige tone of them all-designed for Asian skin tones-but definably not limited too.
Available at Holt Renfrew or The Bay. $50.
Happy Shopping

MASCARA MASCARY-Edmonton Makeup Artist

I am glad that I have so many well opinion-ed girl friends, for with out them it would be so hard to try all the different products-the beauty lord has set up-on all of us.

It is difficult to sample certain items like foundation because were all different shades, with the exception of mascara or eyeshadow.

A lot of people believe that you shouldn't share your mascara-but if you purchase little spoolies- available at "Sallys" beauty supply or save your fave brushes from your mascara and try out your friends favorite lash intensifier.

Sengchou- my best friend has some lash difficulty as do I. Her lashes are not too short-not too long but they fall flat and wont hold a curl. Her secret recipe is:

1) eye lash curler something that is not fully curved but has as slight straight edge.

2)WATER PROOF Cover Girl Mascara-

3) finally a single coat of a mascara of your choice.

My cousin Susan and I love the look of thick BITCH BLACK eye lines. I believe the Main key to that is a generous coating of an ultra sleek black mascara.

Susan recently hast tried the Givenchy Mascara (. The ball on the end of it is a little intimidating-it looks like a bomb from that game Minesweeper. Her only advice is to let it fully dry and you do need makeup remover to get this off. I enjoy thje finish-the products dries with a mild mild mild shine her preference is still BlackOut by Dior both for finish and Drying time. Not only is it ultra black but the drying time is not too long and it is a buildable masacara meaning Phat or Slim lash looks are completley in your control. Susan Is a fan-atic about Maybeline. She has yet to meet a masacar from them that she has not liked. Now keep in ming this Bitch has long thick eyelashes-so if thats you too then follow her name on the blog and maybe you will find your cosmetic match too.
http://www.sephora.com is where we purchased these products

I have been reading numerous reviews about YSL Masacara in waterproof-and have heard AMAZING stories about this product. It deffinatley stays on the flaking is different from others and ZERO SMUDGE. I really enjoy the thick black look and this definatley helps my achieve the look especially when I have to blend in falsies. BUT! I donèt use the brush provided I use spoolies because of how many faces I do, I tried the brush on my self-I enjoy after I put a slight crecent moon curve into it. Susan has also tried this prodcut in waterproof and has had good success-BUT! we do get the odd flaking not on our face BUT! in our eyes and it is so irritating.
I purchased this product from THE BAY www.thebay.com
