2019 – A New Year and a New YOU

Are you keeping up with the latest makeup trends? Perhaps you are completely overwhelmed by all the microblading, eyelash tinting/extensions, blue-light remedies, and contouring. As we approach the new year, don’t fall behind or get lost watching useless YouTube tutorials!  Master the best new makeup techniques with the help of an experienced makeup artist.

Support or skip the newest makeup trend?

Like any type of fad, some makeup trends are simply not for everyone. Did you know that microblading on certain skin types can result in blurry, bluish marks on the skin? (Think of a dull and faded tattoo)…  Are you aware that contouring should be altered based on your face shape? Of course, you will want to do valuable research before making a serious makeup blunder! #makeupfail

So, define your end-game. Are you trying to look younger or thinner? Is your goal to conceal skin damage, or simulate larger eyes or lips? How-to videos can’t help you decide if a certain technique is best for your skin tone or age. After meeting briefly with a professional, you will have a solid understanding and a “road-map” if you will, of how to pull off the look you’re trying to achieve.

Beauty faux-pas happen to the best of us. Celebrities are not even immune to the occasional bangs hack-job or overactive smoky-eye… see below!What not to do beauty faux pas
