Last weekend I was helping some high school girls play with Mary Kay’s summer looks. It was great to see how much fun they had with the Coastal Colors Eye Palette, and how natural and beautiful they looked after applying the shimmery eye shadows, mineral powder foundation, and a touch of Hawaiian Sunset Gloss!
The girls were telling me how they had been watching One Tree Hill on Monday nights and noticed that the makeup artist was using Mary Kay’s products with all the beautiful ladies on the show!
The program has done a few special segments showing how you can use the same Mary Kay colors and technics to get the looks of Brooke, Peyton, and Haley. You can see these clips online at: http://www.cwtv.com/thecw/marykay. They are quick and helpful to see how to apply products like Island Bronze Eyesicles, Mineral Bronzing Powder, and Lip Liner. I highly recommend watching the three for some tips on a new summer look for you that is quick and easy.
If you are of an ivory skin tone like I am, you may also feel extremely white in the winter. Especially in Seattle, with the lack of enough days to catch some vitamin D rays, I am looking pale! Please someone tell me pale can be in! I’m not about to head to the tanning beds for some color and expensive cancer enhancers.
I came across this soft and pretty look. The model’s eyes have Mineral Eye Colors of Precious Pink, Sweet Plum, and Raisin. These colors can do double duty and create bold eyes, but in this case they are applied softly with the Precious Pink, blending them to a glowing look. Cinnamon Stick Blush gives her a rosy glow, along with the Frosted Rose lipstick and Gold Rush gloss to give her a natural and warm tone. Ivory skin tone is saved from a “death warmed over” to a beautiful winter face!
Not every woman can carry off the big fall trends: the graphic arch of a plucked and penciled brow; the dark red stain of a strong, vampy mouth; the smoky play of light and shadow on a Theda Bara eye. But in this season of glamorous choices and sophisticated natural looks, makeup lets a woman play — or underplay — whatever role she chooses. “Fashion is one thing,” says the makeup artist Heidi Morawetz, “but personality is quite another. A woman must always adapt makeup and trends to her own personality and use them to be more herself.” Be a heroine, if you feel like one. Didn’t someone once say that all the world’s a stage?
