Start with a flawless, perfectly concealed base

Keep the look minimal

A dash of pale pink on the apples of your cheeks

A grey lilac hue swept across the lids with

a slight winged liner.

False lashes to add glamour and drama

And finish the look off with a matte rose

lip color

Ta-da! You are Red-Carpet ready, or whatever

The new 'It' girl

Jennifer Lawrence

A slate blue smokey eye is the focal point for this look.

Keep it that way by keeping everything

else mute.

A dewy base is achieved with a cream highlighter,

a natural peach blush is applied

and a super-sweet frosted pink lip color

is the icing on this cake!

Kerry Washington, a true beauty!

A fresh base kept dewy with cream highlights

A berry toned blush

Shimmery pink lids complimented by

a soft taupe crease

Chocolate brown liner, set to last, with 

golden brown shimmer powder.

Add a rosy pink lip 

and call it a day!

Dewy base was the trend this year

at the Academy Awards

Apricot cheeks with shimmering nude lips

Add a neutral lid with a dab of gold in the centre

Follow with a heavy, smokey crease and blend(!)

Line the eyes with a gel or cream liner

to cause a spectacle

Teach Me Tuesday: Fashion Friday how-to's

Friday is translating into Tuesday

You know, minus the pleasant prospect of Saturday.

Today, we're dissecting the looks from Friday's

post and showing you how the 

pro's do it

Starting with Moschino's look

Electric eyeliner made its presence known on 

the bottom lash line...

A fresh base with subtle warm contour, natural

groomed brows, and a pristine pout

allowing the eyes to steal the runway.

As seen on Moschino models.

Artist: Hannah Murray (art + commerce)

How to: 

Apply foundation only where needed to ensure your natural glow isn't masked.

Add an understated illuminator to your foundation for a little sparkle

Groom brows with a disposable, clean, mascara wand to achieve the natural shape.

Keep 'em in place with a little brow gel/wax or a light hold hairspray

Slap on your fave lip balm to add some moisture

Line the bottom lash line and water line with 

an electric blue, volatile violet or intense tangerine

Remember to set your liner with a matching eyeshadow color

or a translucent powder

to ensure in-to-the-night wear

Missoni's runway look had the gab doing all the talking!

A juicy punch of color makes us think of

tropical flavored candies and rainbows!

A heavily highlighted, dewy, base,

exaggerated brows, no-shadow lid and

a light coat of mascara

lets the mouth do all the talking for this

look seen on Missoni's SS2013 runway

How to:

For heavy highlight, use a liberal amount of liquid or cream highlighter, apply

to all areas you want to accentuate

ie: Cheek bones, above brows, chin, jaw line.

For a more faint highlight, mix it in with your foundation only

Add a pale pink contour to emphasize the cheek bones even further

Groom brows, making sure to exaggerate the shape with your pencil and powder to maintain the look

Offer restraint when apply mascara. The look calls for natural lashes (try brown to keep it  über organic looking)

Line your lips to avoid any bleeding of lip color. For longer wear, color them in using the lip pencil. Put your desired lip color on top.

The face chart above shows that the artist, Lucia Pieroni, uses a highlight

around the mouth for an instant pout plumper, sans needles

Finding face charts for Peter Som's runway makeup was

damn impossible!

We'll have to settle on a backstage shot...

Artist, Tom Pecheux, makes sure to keep the

focal point on the baby blues by muting

the rest of the look.

With next-to-no-makeup visible, all 

eyes are on, well, the eyes.

Colors reminiscent of a shirley temple

or a blue lagoon.

How To:

 Follow the same base and brow steps from the Moschino look

Light foundation, natural groomed brows, lip balm.

 Start with an eye base (primer) to make certain all pigments

show true color when placed on the lid

To make this look translate to the street, apply the crease color no higher than the crease.

Delicately dust the lightest shade all around the eye 

Give it a try now and you'll be spring ready for whenever it decides to stick around!

Teach Me Tuesday-BB cream's alter ego, CC Cream

After the longest hiatus in blog history, we are back!

Artists Within has been buzzing since returning from the holidays.

Upon re-opening our doors, we found that some busy christmas elves brought us beautiful new floors, a launch date for a very exciting new adventure, and full programs!

2013 is going to be incredible!

Enough about us, let's get into the newest product that is making BB creams green with envy.

The CC Cream

Color control, or Color correcting cream/balm is a super charged version of the beloved BB cream.

Possessing similar characteristics as BB cream, CC creams still act as a primer, moisturizer, illuminator, foundation and sunscreen

BUT 

CC creams offer

*More coverage

*softer, mousse like texture for easy blending

*packed with antioxidants

*targets hyper-pigmentation, blotchiness and fine lines

*some brands stimulate collagen production

*And, oil free

 Wanna try it out?

Check out these brands to see for yourself;

Olay total effects tone correcting moisturizer with sunscreen $32.99

Juicy Beauty stem cellular repair balm (and certified organic!) $42

Chanel has a CC cream that is making waves over in Asia, not yet available in Canada.

However, check out what's available online. You may get lucky!

BB and CC creams seem to be a beauty trend that just won't quit! 

Jump on board, and try them our for yourself

Teach Me Tuesday-How To: Jewel Tone Makeup

Following Fashion Friday's post on jewel tones, 

today's post,

 how-to on jewel tone makeup and inspiration for all

The cool side of makeup tones;

Emerald, Amethyst, Sapphire

Working with complimentary hues to stay true to our color wheel,

let's start with 

Amethyst lids for green peppers

Sapphire on brown, a complimentary combination

Color wheel neighbors, Green (Emerald) on baby blues, 

create an alluring finish

Now the How-To: 

Always start with a primer to keep your product in place

Add a wash of color, lightly or heavy depending on the desired look,

to the lids. 

Phase the color up to the crease, making sure to blend well!

If you are looking for more intensity, further pigment can be added to the outer

crease of your eyes.

PRO TIP:

Depending on eye shape, a super sweet glitter 

can by applied to the center of the lid

This will highlight the eye, drawing it forward.

This is a great trick for someone with deep set eyes

If your a glitter gal, hold a cotton pad under your eye to catch the fallout.

Although fallout was intentional here, 

imagine cleaning this up right before 

heading out the door for your Christmas Party;

best to use a cotton pad.

If it's drama you're after, line your water line with black pencil, 

saving the top lid for cake liner

Add a little flare to your lashes with a soft curl,

finish with a generous amount of mascara

Pair any of these looks with a knockout lip of 

Ruby tints and hues

Remember to use a liner to avoid any bleeding

So stray away from your safe zone this Holiday season,

Dabble in on-trend jewel tones

Fashion Friday- Jewel Tones, head-to-toe

Command attention in a room full of onyx with regal jewel tones

Shower yourself in

Garnet, Amethyst, Malachite, Gold

Gem tones accentuate textures and add drama to any look

Hair, makeup and fabric

Some looks we are loving in the now

Violet sapphire hair is not for the conventional fashionista,

but if you are willing to take a risk try this one out

A dramatic smokey eye in tones true to a grape garnet compliment

green eyes for a striking finish

A velvet cowl neck dress in deep emerald is

pleasing to the eye and the touch

Sapphire makeup on crystal blue eyes makes this

monochromatic look, ravishing!

A Sapphire sequin jumpsuit will grab the attention of 

everyone

Opt for Ruby-Onyx tresses this season to break free of 

solid-hue-blues

If you are still timid, try a gunmetal grey druzy textured top

and carbonado leather skirt
