TEMPTU PRO in Matte Magazine

One of our most active tweeting and Facebook posting Makeup Artists, Griselle Rosario, shared this flawless editorial shoot she worked on for Matte Magazine.  To give model Karin Agstam her porcelain doll skin, Griselle airbrushed her skin with TEMPTU PRO’s S/B Foundations in 001 Porcelain and 002 Blush Ivory.  For Karin’s pinky flush and shadow, Griselle used a combination of S/B Highlighters in 050 Pink Pearl and 055 Champagne Shimmer, and S/B Blush in 045 Peony.  We just love this Berry Sweet spread.  It’s totally putting us in the mood for all things Spring!

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

Angela Kinsey on the Red Carpet

The Emmy Awards were this past Sunday, and Angela Kinsey looked gorgeous!

I swear every year gets better and better!

The man that’s in the picture with me below, is Theodore Leaf. Theodore does Angela’s hair and we really make a great team. Teamwork is key to me in the business, and on days like the Emmy’s, I actually prefer to work with the hair stylist at the same time so the look comes to life all at once!

Tip of the week: Concealer: Blend, Blend, Blend!

I am a total blender! Blending is the key to perfect color match! You never want it to be obvious that someone has concealer on.

Here are my steps to flawless skin:

• First I fill my airbrush with TEMPTU PRO S/B Foundation #004 and #006.
• Then I spray some of the foundation onto my palette, to mix it with my concealer – this gets me the closest color match possible
• Next, I apply the concealer where it’s needed and I blend it out to make sure there are no brush strokes (everything shows up on HD!)
• Once I’m done concealing, I airbrush the foundation
• To complete the look, I dusted TEMPTU PRO Invisible Difference Powder ONE and perfecto!

Amazing, flawless skin!

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend! Till next week!    Kristina Duff – Guest Blogger and Hollywood Makeup Artist

Temptu Hits the Runway at LA Fashion Week

Temptu airbrush team was backstage at Voom by Joy Han at the California Market Center for LA Fashion Week led by key makeup artist Anthony Merante.

 

Here’s how Temptu’s airbrush makeup team got the look:

1. Start with a clean and moisturized face and lips. Apply the Temptu S/B Primer with a flat foundation brush.

2. Find the appropriate S/B Foundation shade and Use an Adjuster if needed.  Lightly Airbrush the entire face in sections.  We want the skin to be glowing and youthful, so complete coverage is not needed.

3. Use the Temptu concealer wheel mixed with a drop or so of the S/B Foundation where needed.

4. With your left over S/B Foundation still in the gun, apply a few drops of S/B Blush color in shade (Blush) along with a few drops of the Peachy Pink Blush and mix with an eyeliner brush or back bubble.  Apply this mixture to the apple of the cheeks and the hollows of the cheek.

5. Clean out the airbrush and add a few drops of the Pink Pearl Highlighter to the gun. Lightly highlight the bridge of the nose, the forehead, middle of the chin and above the cheekbones.

6. Brows are lightly filled in by hand with the Temptu Airbrow Kit in an appropriate shade and then brushed.

7. Apply 1 coat of Black Mascara to CURLED eyelashes starting at the base. Apply a second coat if necessary.

8. Mix a dime sized drop of face gloss with 3 drops of Pink Pearl Highlighter and apply liberally to the entire eyelid. With a black Kohl Pencil draw a smudge on the outer corners and smudge with a stiff brush.

9. Line the lips with a nude lip liner. DO NOT FILL IN! Mix a dime sized drop of Clear Lip Gloss and 5 drops of Peachy Pink Blush Color and apply to lips Liberally.

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.
