THE MAKEUP EDGE: A Peek At The Show

James Vincent, Make Up Artist

Innovative Cosmetic Application Tips:
  • With face powder application, the size of brush matters! “ People have a tendency to over powder their face after foundation application.”  James recommends using a small face brush (he uses a crease brush) to finish the face and create a flawless look.
  • His favorite finishing powder?  Make Up Forever HD powder.
  • A natural looking brow is important! Use a gel liner to sketch in individual hairs.  If needed, follow with taupe shadow or pencil in the brow to create a natural look.
  • James prefers to use taupe powder followed by a pencil to line the eyes.  It offers a natural shadow and creates a softer gradation of color than lining completely with a dark black line.  It also offers a guideline to follow so you don’t have to worry about making mistakes.

3 Custom Color - What's Old is New! Trae Bodge, Scott Catto and Chad Hayduk, the “Three” Specialists in Three Custom Color just introduced Light Brights, a lip color collection reminiscent of the 80’s dance scene.  Launched a few weeks ago, the lip colors are right on target for 2008’s Spring/Summer color season that features bold, hot, and neon-like tones.  The gleaming colors of fashion do not necessarily translate well when worn bold on skin.  Day Glo Florescents collaborated with 3 Color Cosmetics to create 4 soft, sheer, modern, playful, wearable tints. The moisturizing stains are great for all skin tones and have names that evoke the nightlife of a totally awesome decade!

Smashbox:  Look for “Wicked Lovely” color story launching for the holidays.  The color story is a smouldering smokey eye paired with a rich, dark lip color.  It’s both intense, “wicked” and luxurious, “lovely” at the same time!
