Luxury Make Up Los Angeles CA

Mineral make-up, as discussed by Lucire ’s beauty columnist Nicole McKinnon as being the hot new trend back in 2006, has continued to be a staple, especially on the catwalk at Air New Zealand Fashion Week. At Verge, Nikki Lovrich, head make-up artist for the Jane Iredale team at the Verge show, gave the models a high-glamour look ‘with deep smoky eyes and subtle barely there lips,’ according the company.
Mineral make-up’s advantage is providing coverage but allowing the skin to breathe.
Products used included the following. For eyes: Jane Iredale Smoke Gets in Your Eyes winter ’09 palette, Gold and Rose Gold 24 ct Gold Dust for highlights and Jane Iredale Liquid eyeliner for the 1950s’ look. For the face: PurePressed mineral bases and Amazing Base loose minerals. For cheeks: In Touch cream blushers in Connection (peach pink) and Con?dence (deep red). For lips: PureGloss in shades of Wild Apple and Melon....

Lancôme’s German Moyano, who seems to be the brand’s main make-up artist for its videos now, introduces its latest collection, Noirs Perles (pearly blacks, rather than black pearls as some have translated).
   In the first video, he works on Céline, using the Ombre Absolue Mono eye-shadow. This is a purple–black, which ties in with the lavender shades of the season. He enlarges the eye’s appearance with the Kohl pencil. Lancôme’s Hypnôse Precious Cells mascara is used to finish off the effect around the eyes. The Absolue Rouge lipstick completes the look.
   In the second, Moyano creates a green, smoky-eye look, again using the Kohl pencil. The Ombre Absolue Mono eye-shadow has a green–black, as does the Hypnôse Precious Cells mascara. A skin-colour Absolue Rouge is used this time, completing the look. The techniques are similar, but the shades differ to suit each model.
