Fashion Week and Temptu show the hot looks for Spring

Not only does New York Fashion Week dictate what the hottest trends in clothing will be next season, but the catwalk also yields the newest makeup styles. South Florida’s Sun Sentinel recently spoke with makeup artists from numerous companies, including Temptu, about what next season’s makeup trends will be. Our lead artist JP McCary believes that though the smokey eye will remain prominent, that women will start to use brighter colors like purple instead of traditional blacks and greys. Also, look out for big lashes making a comeback next season.

Tricks of the Trade: Achieving the Airbrushed look, without the Airbrush

Temptu’s lead Makeup Artist and Vice President of Consumer Sales, JP McCary, sat down with The Wall Street Journal to reveal some tricks that every woman can use to get that airbrushed look, without all of the equipment. With the ability to apply Temptu’s S/B makeup with both an airbrush or by hand, anyone can take advantage of using a silicone based formula. Silicone based makeup will reduce fine lines and wrinkles and is compatible with most skin types.
