Beauty Questions Answered

I asked the question.."If you could ask a Pro Makeup Artist anything, what would it be?" Well here are your questions...Answered! 

*What is the best way to cover up/hide a. a REALLY giant pimple that just popped up, and b. a cut/scratch, and c. bruise
When dealing with blemishes that popped up one morning and you want to conceal its important to remember to NOT pop it! This will only make the matter worse! I sometimes will put a cold compress on it to reduce any swelling, apply a medicated spot treatment to treat any bacteria,  moisturize with an oil free lotion & use a long wear cover up stick that has a heavier coverage than your daily concealer you may use under the eye. I find this concealer will help with a cut or scratch as well, followed with powder to set.
TRY  L'Oreal Paris Infallible Concealer. It gives you 16 hr wear & allows for great coverage. 
 Bruises need a little extra care for covering up. Depending on the color of the Bruise you want to start with a color corrector in Green and/or yellow to neutralize the Bruise color and than layer with your concealer or foundation. Its all about layering when it comes to bruises! 
I love using Derma Blend Face and Body Cream. It will help cover scars, cuts & Bruises.
*What is best way to cover up dark circles under eyes?
Everyone has dark circles and they come from many factors. Stress, dehydration, allergies..the list goes on. But you first want to make sure you are using a Eye Cream both Day/Night. This will help to promote good tissue, elasticity, circulation and hydration around the eye area. 
Try L'Oreal Paris Collagen Filler Eye Illuminator. It has micro light reflective pearls to help Brighten up the eye and penetrate down into the skin helping to plump from within. 
To cover up those Dark Circles use a concealer after you hydrate. The trick is to mix in a little bit of the Collagen Filler eye illuminator into your concealer to help brighten up those beautiful eyes! You can also take a pearly eyeshadow and place in the inner corner of the eye and right below the arch of your brow. This will help to open the eye shape and deter away from any darkness. 
TRY L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Eyeshadow Single in Morning Light, Shroom Shimmer or Satin Tutu
*Best way to get ALL the mascara and eyeliner off, there seems to always be some left over!
Use a Oil Based makeup remover on a cotton round and gently remove any makeup. The oil will help to soften the product to its easier to remove. 
TRY L'Oreal Paris Clean Artist Makeup Remover
*What's the best liquid liner?
You want to use a liquid liner that gives you control and precision.
I love STILA Stay All Day Liquid Liner. Not only is it waterproof so it will not budge, but Its felt tip marker style helps to give you lots of control during your application.  
*What do I do about adult acne? Never had it as a teen and now I'm almost 30 and I have acne!
Adult Acne is more common than you think. As our hormones change..our sebum and androgen  levels change as well. You have to remember your skin is a reflection of what is going on inside your body. First look at what you are intaking on a daily basis. Second look at your water levels you consume everyday. Third, what type of daily skincare regimen do you have? Make sure to incorporate a Mask and/or Enzyme peel( not to be used on the same day, rotate every other week) once a month. Use a deep cleansing Scrub 1-2 times a week to clean out your pores. Stay consistent with the products you are using. If you keep changing them or are not consistent your skin will not achieve balance. 
One of my favorite weekly scrubs is L'Oreal Paris Go 360 Clean Deep Exfoliating Cleanser


 For a Mask and or Peel TRY Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel 
 OR Skinceuticals Clarifying Clay Mask
