New beauty trend: the bleached brow look

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

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!

Never Say Goodbye to Summer

Summer is coming to an end so quickly! What to do about keeping that sunkissed look year round without the sun filled days?

Here is a great way to add a bronzed glow to any client! 

1. Airbrush correct S/B Foundation shade to the face
2. Mix S/B Foundation #009 and a tiny drop of S/B Adjuster in Violet
3. Lightly spray onto your client’s skin, focusing on the outer edges of the cheeks, forehead and a little across the nose, where sunlight naturally highlights the face

*This color is especially great for warming up the edges on your males clients, creating a little depth without the look of makeup or too much powder.

Enjoy the last bit of summer 2010!

Emmy Time!

 

It’s Emmy weekend, and I’m always excited about doing Angela Kinsey from NBC’s The Office. This will be my 4th year with her. As always, I will be airbrushing her to perfection using TEMPTU PRO S/B.

TIP OF THE WEEK:

When creating red carpet beauties, always color match the face to the shoulder for the popular pose of peeking over the shoulder!

For me, this includes a beautiful highlight on the shoulder, arm and décolleté. I love TEMPTU PRO S/B in Champagne Shimmer and sometimes I mix White Shimmer and Gold Shimmer depending on the color palette I have in mind.

Have a fabulous weekend and find Angela Kinsey on the red carpet when watching the 2010 Emmys!
