Bridal Makeup Tips...

2010-06-22T03:08:00.000-07:00

Your eyes are the windows to your soul…
When asked what kind of look Brides want to focus on for their wedding day, most say a natural look but with the emphasis on the eyes. This look can be timeless, yet sexy and beautiful. All the traits any bride would want to have!
So do you want to know the tricks of the trade and how to achieve those sexy bridal eyes?
Start by cleaning the eye area with a makeup wipe, ensuring any excess oil is removed from the delicate eye area. Do not moisturize the eye area, as this is the oiliest part of the body, so any added moisture will crease your eye-shadow and make it run off, a big no no for any bride.
Use a concealer or shadow magnet to prep the eye. Add translucent powder to the eye-lid to set.
Take a beautiful shimmer in beige and apply to the top lid, patting as you go and stopping at your crease.
Apply a medium brown to the outer crease area and blending slightly upwards to just above the socket line. Always blend the line to make it look as natural as possible.
Use a warm gold loose shadow on the inner top lid eye crease to merge with the medium brown shadow. Blend well with the brush.
To make your eyes stand out, and to appear rested for your big day, apply a cream colour eye shadow to the inner part of the eyes. This will make your eye POP!
You can use a dark brown or black gel liner and apply a thin line to the top lash line. Then using a small brush, smudge over the line slightly to create a soft, smoky look that is also natural.
Using the gel liner, apply to the lower lash line, merging from the outer inwards.
Use the medium brown eye shadow over the lower lash line gel liner to soften the look.
To make your eyes appear clean and fresh, use a white eye pencil on the inner rims of the lower lid. You will notice it erases any tired look and redness disappears also!
Fake lashes really complete the look, so apply three medium length individual lashes to the ends, and add four or five short length individual lashes in between to make the look appear more natural. Add a coat of black waterproof (no smudging for wedding day tears!) mascara to the top and bottom lashes.
Brush up eyebrows and if necessary add a little brow shadow.
It is important to remember that sleep, rest and a great eye cream help keep eyes looking their best.

Et Voila! Sultry sexy eyes, perfect for your wedding day, now get practicing!

Look of the Moment - Winter 2010

2010-05-29T20:21:00.000-07:00

Hi Makeup lovers, welcome to ellie makeup's first EVER blog entry.

We are excited (to say the least) to join all the other bloggers out there and add our take on makeup, tips, trends, models we love, looks we love, what to do, what not to do, and all the ins and outs of makeup and beauty and glamour.

Lets look at what Trends are in for Winter 2010.

These trends were seen on the Runway all over Europe and New York.

LIPS are Sensual, Siren-Red that surprise and excite

Anyone would kill to have Iris' perfect pouty lips...

To achieve lips like Iris' perfect pout, always remember to line your lips ensuring you do not make any errors! Pout your mouth slightly while you work the liner around your mouth and create a subtle shape if you are lacking in that department!

You can even fill in your lips with the liner for extra staying power.
Take your Deep Red, Berry, Burnt Orange or whatever Winter colour you feel like wearing and fill in the main area of your lips with the lipstick. It is advisable to use a lip brush to perfect the edges of your lips and create the perfect pout. Mwah!

BROWS are the ultimate face makers - arched and perfectly groomed in strong shades

Kasia's brows are groomed to perfection...

Brows play an important role in framing our face and eyes. If you your brows have "stopped growing" over you have merely over plucked (! - I see it all the time - go easy on those tweezers ladies or let a professional take over), you want to ensure you achieve a strong yet NATURAL brow that sits well on your face.

Some people love a good brow pencil and I also like to use a brow shader and fill in the empty spaces of the brow and follow the natural shape of the brow and enhance them even further.
A good tip is to not over arch them and keep the inner part of the brow closer to the bridge of the nose (without giving yourself a mono brow).

Sweep the edge of the brow so it angles perfectly to the egde of your eye. Et Voila, beautiful brows!

EYES are up all night - dark, smudgy and luminous

Agyness and Jessica both carry this look well...By the way - this Fendi bag is HOT HOT HOT - Chain is back and Fendi is always back!

The smoky eye look is one of THE most popular looks I get clients asking for every time.
It suits most people and it really is all about using the right amount and ensuring you create the smoky eye that suits YOUR face, not Agyness' or Jessica's!

A classic smoky eye has the basic deep brown, black, charcoal, usually matte eye shadow colour swept across the entire mobile lid (the almond part of the eye) and then blended upwards to nothing with a clean brush and perhaps a beige taupe shadow colour to diminish any lines. Remember to blend blend blend, no harsh edges!

A black soft eye pencil can rim the eyes both top and inner lower rim and lower lash line area; then soften with a blender brush. You can also use a gel liner (if you know how! - more on gel liners at a later date) instead.

Lashings of mascara top and bottom and your ready to go. Sometimes a creme highlighter on the brow bone and inner eye makes the eye POP that little bit extra too.

Makeup as an art form - Gutsy Glamour - Witty and Provocative

Chanel can take on any look...

Winter Trends are what you make of it ladies. Pick a strong feature of your face or one you like and make it the focal point. Play it up and wear your makeup with confidence... that is the key to looking and feeling a million bucks!

Just remember:

POLISHED, GLAMIFIED AND LUXE

There's our glam fix for the day. See you soon!
