It’s Oscar time! That’s right this Sunday the hottest stars in the chicest (and sometimes cringe worthy) dresses will be hitting that notorious Red Carpet. What’s one thing that several Red Carpet strutters will have in common this year? Flawless faces!
That’s right TEMPTU PRO airbrush makeup will be on the scene, courtesy of Makeup and GO!. This gorgeous LA based makeup studio is the go-to spot for L.A. lasses who want to get glam quickly without having to go to a department store beauty counter. Because of their speedy and spectacular results Makeup and GO! has become an absolutes must for any red carpet go-er or dreamer alike.
The TEMPTU PRO Team took a few minutes with Makeup and GO! makeup artist Kellie Batiste to find out her Red Carpet musts, and why TEMPTU PRO is always one of them.
Though Fall 2011 was our first show with Jenny Packham, the ethereal, glowy look the TEMPTU PRO Team created for the show has easily become one of our favorite NYFW looks. Here’s your chance to capture the look for yourself and your clients.
Pantone, the end-all be-all of color, has announced 2011 to be the year of pink, or Honeysuckle to be more specific. Says the Pantone’s press release, “Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you, and carry you. [...] Honeysuckle emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. It elevates our psyche beyond escape, instilling the confidence, courage, and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges that have become part of everyday life.” Who knew pink was so powerful? You can steal the hottest color of 2011 easily just by going to shop.temptupro.com!
There is no doubt that Crystal Renn has taken the fashion industry by storm. After reinventing her image as a plus-sized model in the summer of 2003 and penning her first book, Hungry, which documented the model’s struggle with compulsive exercise and fasting, Renn signed with Ford Models and soon emerged in Italian, American, and French Vogue with her new and fuller figure. As of late, Renn has been flaunting her curves in a fashion campaign for Jean Paul Gaultier, and even landing the front cover of Glamour’s June 2010 issue with fashion and sports megastars, Alessandra Ambrosio and Brooklyn Decker.
The December-January issue of Vogue Paris, which is guest-edited by fashion guru, Tom Ford, showcases Renn as a cougar on the prowl, spoofing the uprising of plastic surgery. Decked out in jewel tones and animal prints, Renn mimics the over-the-top trend with long, lacquered acrylics and heavy, dramatic makeup. With dramatic results like these from makeup alone, who needs plastic surgery?
Check out this fun pic of Elle Johnson that I took earlier this year!
Ellen Johnson is an amazing TV writer who is currently working on The Glades and other cool upcoming shows. I had the pleasure of meeting her while I was working on the TV show, Saving Grace. Elle decided that it was time for her to update her publicity pictures…so that’s exactly what we did!
We absolutely love supermodel Samantha Gradoville’s look in this shoot with for Numéro magazine. Makeup artist Maud Laceppe created a light, whimsical look that evokes the light feelings of springtime, while remaining totally relevant for this season’s wintry trends. You can recreate this dreamy look using TEMPTU PRO’s S/B airbrush makeup.
Highly defined brows may have been a big trend at the S/S 2011 GANT show but another rising trend in fashion is almost it’s complete opposite; the bleached brow look. For 2010, natural shapes may still the predominant eyebrow style; however, one thing has definitely taken a big turn is color. Bleached brows are popping up all over the place on the runway, in photo shoots, and even on America’s Next Top Model.
Whether you are working on a photo shoot, or just looking to try this look out yourself, knowing how to get the bleached brow look without the commitment of actually bleaching your brows is a valuable bit of knowledge that every makeup artist should know.
Getting the bleached brow look with TEMPTU PRO:
1. Start by applying S/B Primer on and around the brow area. This will help prime and perfect the skin, allowing for an even smoother makeup application.
2. Next use S/B Adjuster in 030 White to cover up the brow and set a natural base for the lighter brow color. You may have to apply more then one layer for darker brows.
3. Finally to get that bleached brow look, airbrush S/B Airbrow Color 064 Natural Blonde onto the brow area until desired color is achieved. If you want to lighten the color for a whiter, more dramatic effect, add a drop or two of our lighter S/B Foundation shades like, 001 Porcelain or 002 Blush Ivory to your gun’s cup.
Voila! You now have a bleached brow that’s runway-ready or picture perfect without the commitment of actually having to bleach your brows
Just because the bright days of Summer have come and gone doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to the vibrant summer colors we all love. TEMPTU PRO Anthony Merante demonstrates how you can bring a little more color into your face this fall with TEMPTU PRO S/B Foundations in this hot beauty shoot for BE magazine.
One look at Martha’s entrancing costume banishes any belief that practicing the art of magic means looking like a wicked witch. Here, full-on glamour takes the place of green skin and a wart covered face. For the finishing touch to her Spellbinding Sorceress costume, Martha Stewart came to TEMPTU PRO to design her special custom tattoo star headdress.
Temporary tattoos are such a hot trend right now! They are the easiest way to add some edge to your look without the permanent commitment. You could apply new tattoos to go with each outfit, and simply wipe it off at the end of the day!
They are great for photo shoots when you want to create a different character for each shot.
Temporary tattoos are the new accessory! Use your body as a canvas and express yourself in a new, hip way!
Thin and over plucked brows are out totally out! Say hello to thick, Brooke Shields-esque brows, that were seen all over the runways for Fall & Spring!
Brows are extremely important when creating a makeup look. Bold brows define the character of the face.
Tip: An attempt for bold brows can easily go wrong – First you want to make sure your eyebrows are groomed – Thick brows = yes, Uni-brow = NO!
The most important thing to remember is to always use an eyebrow color that is one shade lighter than your natural color. This will create a natural, more modern look that does not look out-dated.
Check out the TEMPTU PRO S/B Airbrow Setto help you achieve flawless, natural looking, fierce brows!
Match those brows with sexy, bold red lips and you’re ready for your close-up!
As an artist I am absolutely addicted to fashion editorials, especially ones featuring breathtaking makeup. I am always looking at fashion and avant-garde makeup for artistic inspiration.

Is it only a coincidence that my horoscope said that white was my color of the week? Perhaps, but I have always been in awe of porcelain skin and a flushed cheek and this just happens to be one of my favorite looks created by Erica Carr, a San Francisco based makeup artist working in fashion, TV and print.
A throwback to Colonial and Victorian times, these images conjure that artful playfulness that makeup can bring out in all of us.
-Laura Reynolds, TEMPTU PRO
To achieve the look, Erica airbrushed her entire body with S/BWhite and accented the cheeks with S/BBlush & Coral.

Cosmetics editor Catherine Saint Louis reviews today’s cutting-edge makeup technology in the Skin Deep feature; “Makeup to Help Flaws Disappear.” Comparing several foundation applicators claiming to help create a “naturally perfect look,” she calls TEMPTU the “Rolls-Royce.” Catherine Saint Louis calls TEMPTU’s AIRbrush Makeup System “addictive, especially for overachievers who can’t resist striving for perfect skin.”

Alfred Angelo is a legendary Bridal Fashion House that has been around for more than six generations dressing brides and their bridesmaids. This season he looked to swinging London and the Savoy Hotel for inspiration.
Key makeup artist Christopher Milone used TEMPTU to complete the season’s latest bridal trends with breathtaking bridal beauty.
HERE’S A STEP BY STEP TO CREATE YOUR OWN BEST BRIDAL LOOK:
Skin:
Start with the TEMPTU AIRbrush Makeup System and AIR pod Foundation in a color closest to your skin tone, slightly lighter.
Begin airbrushing in the center of your face.
To create contour, use one shade darker in the AIR pod Foundation and airbrush the outer edges of the face.
This creates a highlighting spotlight effect perfect for photos.
To add dimension to the face for photos apply RETOUCHblush in Pink Pearl using a c-motion going from the cheekbone to the brow bone. Then apply down the center of the face along the nose, at the inner corner of the eyes and on the cupid’s bow of the lips.
Cheeks:
Apply the Limited Edition TEMPTU AIR pod color Blushing Coral beginning with a light wash on the apples of the cheeks and blend towards the temples.
Coloris huge for bridal in 2010 and coral is the way to go as it flatters any skin tone.
Lips:
Christopher Milone suggests using Blushing Coral on both the lips and cheeks, as he did for the runway.
Eyes:
Use a khaki color under the eye and in the crease then complete the look with Mascara and false eyelashes.
Finishing:
Use powder sparingly in the T-zone just to take down glare with the TEMPTU RETOUCH Powder in Translucent.
This creates a fresh, dewy appearance that looks natural and is great for high definition photos and videos.
Voilà: YOU have created a runway worthy look with the season’s hottest beauty trends!
