How To Prevent the Makeup Meltdown

Edited by

You’re the kind of gal who spends quality time with your beauty. There are many layers to this relationship; a solid foundation, a concealer that knows what’s underneath, the way it makes you blush, all the way to a batted lash. And that’s why it hurts so bad when it runs. You don’t have to completely break it off with makeup in the summer just to keep it from ruining your day. There are products out there made to survive a sweltering day and to prevent you from having a makeup meltdown.

Backstage at Anna Sui: Models, Beauty & Thoughts from the Designer

Edited by

I spent the hour before the Anna Sui show in the thick of the behind the scenes action. Trying to make myself as unobtrusive as possible to the getting ready process, I glided around witnessing top models like Karlie Kloss, Arizona Muse, Frida Gustavsson and beautiful others prepping through hair and makeup. I heard directly from the head hair and makeup artists about the thought process behind the super mod look. I even got a word in with Anna Sui herself in the moments before the start of the show! Oh, and I had some fun with sunglasses…

fall beauty trend: morning-after eyes and nude-orange lips.

fall beauty trend: morning after eyes and nude orange lips.

It’s common knowledge that the smudged, just-rolled-out-of-bed eyeliner look is one of the easiest (and the sexiest!) makeup tricks in the book! This look, along with a nude-to-orange lip color, were all the rage at A/W 2010 fashion week! Yes, we may not all have professional makeup artists on hand, as Constance and Daria (above) did backstage at Michael Kors. However, with the right products and a steady hand, you can get the look at home! Here’s a step-by-step guide that I use to achieve the look for less!

01) Be sure to apply makeup to a cleansed and moisturized face. If your face is unwashed, your skin’s natural oils will seep through the makeup quickly, causing it to come off!

02) Apply a face and eye primer to even skin tone, eliminate sheen and prolong the wear of the makeup.

03) Apply a sheer foundation, such as a light liquid foundation or a tinted moisturizer, all over face and neck. Apply a cream-based concealer to any blemishes.

04) Buff a pressed powder all over face to seal foundation and concealer with a large, fluffy brush.

05) Apply a highlighter or slightly shimmery powder to your t-zone (forehead and nose). If your skin is on the oily side, skip this step or apply to your cheeks only.

06) Apply a peach blush to the apples of your cheeks. If you have a pale skin tone with a lot of red undertones (like me!), choose a blush with a more neutral tone to avoid looking too dramatic. If you have darker skin, choose a peach blush with a bit more pigment in it!

07) Line your upper lash line and the outer corner (or the whole lower lash line if you wish) with a black or brown eyeliner pencil. Gently smudge the line with your finger or a Q-tip.

08) Apply a light colored eyeshadow to your eyelids. I’d recommend a pearly white, shimmery beige, icy blue or pale lilac.

09) Apply a coat or two of black mascara.

10) Apply a lipstick or lip gloss in a neutral shade (with orange undertones), or go bold with a tangerine shade. if you choose lipstick, be sure to put foundation on your lips and then lip liner to prolong the wear of the lipstick!

fall beauty trend: morning after eyes and nude orange lips.

My interpretation of the look: MAC tinted moisturizer, Benefit ‘Boing’ concealer, Smashbox face primer, Benefit eye primer, Benefit pressed powder, Benefit highlighter, Sephora blush, Sephora eyeshadow, Sephora lip gloss, CoverGirl eyeliner, L’Oreal mascara.

VIDEO: Rihanna Promotes Eye Makeup, I Laugh Hysterically

Edited by

Hmm good timing Covergirl, now is the perfect time for Rihanna to be doing commercials for eye makeup. Because blogging allows me the great opportunity to make money while I sit my ass on the couch and watch TV, I was able to catch this commercial for the first time while watching VH1 today. I laughed and laughed out loud by myself (of course), and then proceed to live the good life. Oh Rihanna, it’s a shame that your misfortune will be the butt end of all jokes for the next couple months atleast, maybe you’ll think twice about spreading the clap.
