The terms "VEGAN" or "SUSTAINABLE" "ECO-Friendly" are very popular - people are more discerning of what products they choose to purchase - for many reasons. Synthetic brushes have come a LONG way in the past year or so - due to several companies on the market answering that demand. Bdellium Tools makes both hand made, natural hair and synthetic professional makeup artist brushes - their series: Maestro, Studio, Travel, Green Bambu. I chose the Green Bambu Series and have to say they are incredibly SOFT and very dense. Not only is their color unusual, but also appeals asthetically and looks FRESH. They impressed me immediately when I felt them in my hand and moreso when I applied makeup on my own face. SUPER SOFT! Travel size - about an inch smaller than your regular pro brush length - they are not miniature brushes - they are just shortened handles - same size brush head. Check out their video REVIEWS . These are going to fly out the door once words gets around... I LOVE THESE VEGAN BRUSHES! Above: I highly recommend starting your eco-friendly brush collection from Bdellium with the 4 piece foundation brush set, shown above - they are also easy on the pocket book for professional brushes. Buy HERE. |

Lisa Johnson ~ Brides by Lisa: Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 1:16 AM
I'm asked often about oil
control and mattifying products - timely because higher temperatures and
Summer are right around the corner - meaning more oil production
usually. Mattifying gels and lotions are great to use either alone
without any makeup - this gives the appearance of perfect pores and
luminosity without that oil slick - also under your foundation - mixed
in with your foundation (as in the Make Up For Ever product) - and
applied over your makeup for extra shine and oil control. This summer
try any of these application tips for your perfect complexion.
MAKE UP FOR EVER
All Mat
Face Matifying Primer
The All Mat Matifying Primer formula is based on an oil-free and
colorless powdered gel providing extreme comfort. Designed to absorb
the excess of sebum, it leaves the skin soft without a hint of shine.
TIP: All Mat can also be
used as a make up primer. Applied in a thin and even layer (I use a
foundation brush), it makes make up application easier and provides
long-lasting results. It can easily be blended with a foundation or make
up primer to enhance the matifying properties of make up.
FACE TO FACE
Super Matte Antishine
This innovative product has been uniquely formulated to matte the shine
of oily skin. Most of the large makeup manufacturers have tried to
duplicate this product with no success. Super Matte Antishine has been used by leading film and television
actors. It leaves skin feeling fresh and taut and won't produce that
"caked on" feeling you get from powder. It is available in three sheer
shades: light, medium, and dark. Antishine is great not only for women,
but also for men's palms, foreheads and balding scalps. (Always in my
professional kit.)
PETER THOMAS ROTH
Anti-Shine Mattifying Gel
An advanced mattifying gel formulated with powerful oil absorbing and
pore minimizing properties. Absorbs shine and controls excess oil and
perspiration on contact without stripping skin’s natural moisture. Helps
makeup stay fresh longer while creating a lasting, clear, satiny
matte finish.
TIP: A perfect product for men too!

(BE SURE TO CLICK THE LINKS/PRODUCT NAMES FOR THEIR WEBSITES)
HOW DO THEY LOOK SO FRESH? In my line of work I run across a
plethora (I love that word) of beauty and skin products every single
day. It can be intimidating even for me in the business - I can only
imagine how it is for my clients. What to buy, what to try, what on
earth to TRUST?
Here are a couple of great products I recommend and to whom:
This gentle
resurfacing cream contains the exclusive PROmc3, an earth mineral
complex of Calcium, Magnesium, and Aluminum along with hydrating Jojoba
Beads that leave your skin looking youthful, healthy and clear. TIP: I
recommend this for everyone that needs a special de-DULLifying - which
frankly is everyone - use sparingly, GENTLY and no more than 2x a week
on average. Overuse will cause skin problems. Less in this case is
more. An amazing product for most all - but those with skin eruptions
or major acne. Avoid the eye area.
This gentle, exfoliating mask harnesses the natural power of
cranberry enzymes and lactic acid to tenderly scrub away facial
impurities and decongest blocked pores. As active ingredients
exfoliate, protect and revitalize the skin, potent, oil-free
moisturizers add a dewy softness to blemish-prone skin. TIP: Safe to use after your gentle cleanser 2-3x per week. Avoid
the eye area. Pure Enzymes is a great way to “clean up” the last
traces of sloughing skin following a peel and jumpstart the recovery
process. For best results, apply five days after peel.
Immediate lifting, lasting repositioning*. Inspired by eye-lifting
surgical techniques, Rénergie Microlift Eye R.A.R.E.™ Lifter Helps
recreate a younger, lifted look in the delicate eye area. At the same
time, the unique R.A.R.E.™ oligopeptide helps to re-bundle collagen**.
The eye contour regains a visibly lifted smoother, naturally youthful
look. TIP: WHAT DO I SAY? THIS STUFF JUST PLAIN WORKS. It's simply
amazing and I recommend it for everyone over 35. Those younger girls
can switch over to the Renergie Eye line for their own perfect formula.

Two of my favorite - little known - mascara products to try for Spring 2011
There
are SO many incredible new products out each season and mascara is no
exception - you can find many great mascaras at any price point from
drugstore finds to dept store and boutique finds. Finding just the
right formula, color, texture and type takes a little trial and error.
I carry these in my kit as well as
the usual suspects I adore that are more popular - such as Dior Show, L'Oreal Voluminous,
Lancome Definicils, and many more. You might just like these too... and
don't just stick with black - try blue, purple, aubergine and dark
brown (lower lash trick)... add to your mascara "wardrobe" for fun!
Publicity Stunt Lashes WOW! kinda lashes that last! 3-Day Long-Wearing Mascara
LORAC’S NEW BREAKTHROUGH MASCARA PULLS A PUBLICITY STUNT…UNBELIEVABLY GORGEOUS LASHES THAT LAST UP TO 3 DAYS!
This revolutionary 3-Day Long-Wearing Mascara creates long, lush lashes
that are gym-proof, cry-proof and Red Carpet beauty-proof. Its ultra
lightweight long-wearing formula is loaded with natural ingredients,
created from an innovative new technology, allows you to take a break
from re-applying your mascara every day without it smudging, budging or
flaking for up to 3 days.
My heart belongs to BUXOM!
A paraben-free, lash-volumizing mascara.
Bare Escentuals Buxom® Lash Mascara - Blackest Black holds the style of
your lashes for a continuous 12 hours with no flakiness. The silky,
vitamin-rich formula darkens, lengthens, and thickens from root to tip
without ever clumping. Its patented, hourglass-shaped brush is designed
to lift and separate every lash while delivering the perfect amount of
antioxidant-rich mascara needed for bigger, fuller lashes.
Give these two a try next time you're looking for MASCARA's off the beaten track!

Have a peek - and get out the drool bib...
GRAY/PINK
Dior Spring 2011 Makeup Collection I always love the beginning of a New Year. It's like a clean slate of sorts. It's also the time I like to see what trends are coming back around or what is new and fresh - especially for my love - MAKEUP. One beautiful trend that is really a bit of the old and new mixed - some older more retro packaging with a fresh approach to color compared to some of the runway's bold fashion color this year - is the trend for soft gray and soft pinks and corals - two of my favorite colors for bridal makeup. Muted, elegant and refined greys and pinks. For Spring I am drawn to DIOR SPRING 2011 and will be incorporating these into my bridal palettes for my special clients. SPRING 2011 MAKEUP TRENDS |
