BEAUTY MUSE~BROOKE BURNS

Just finishes Season 2 of GSN's New game show THE CHASE with Brooke Burns. It was a total blast and we did some pretty looks too. So I thought i would share a few images i took in the makeup room!

What's In My Bag?

As a makeup artist working on TV & Film sets, you need a set bag, actually I carry many bags including the ones under my eyes from time to time. A set bag holds all the items and product that someone, the actor may ask of you. Anything from toothpicks, tissue, wipes, or a nail file.  So I thought I would  share a few things that i keep in my bag.

Add a soft focus with this sheer veil of translucent powder that gives a smooth polished finish to any foundation or concealer and adds extra staying power. The colorless finish and super light texture is great for all skin tones and types. Absorbs oil and make pores and fine lines look invisible. Talc-free and anti-aging formula with light reflecting minerals looks youthful and never dry. This is pretty good stuff, I have been using this a lot as of lately and just can't say more great things about it.  $30.00 Senna

Kinda self explanatory, some times the large amounts of craft services and coffee need help to go bye- bye , so having a gang of mints is a must.

Pucker Up And Apply~ My Favorite Lips!

Anyone who knows me and my work, know that I love lips, lipstick, lips stain, lip gloss, lip balm you name it. I tend to have color favorites too. I am that natural lip guy, always have been, It's not that I hate, say Red Lipstick, I just think it has it's place and I will talk someone out of it  if I feel It's not the right choice. I am fond of nudes and creamy peaches....soft pinks. Soft full lips make me happy. So I thought why not share with you guys some  of my current favorite lip products that I have been rocking as of late, and no not on me but on my clients & talent. This bearded face in lipstick? HA! 

NARS/BLONDE VENUS

These NARS Lipsticks come in a wide range of amazing shades that are available in three formulas,
Semi-Matte: Very pigmented matte, that's non-drying and provides a longer wear velvet feeling to lips.
Sheer: My favorite! Has long lasting color pigments, this translucent formula provides a sheer, natural tint to your lips
Satin: It;s moist coverage with micro-bubble spheres that aid in releasing conditioners that leave lips creamy, that wears for hours. Blonde Venus is my favorite at the moment. With it's great texture it's a crowd pleaser every time $26.00 Nordstom

BITE/ Luminous Creme Lipstick

This luscious , long-lasting, moisture-rich color delivers antioxidant resvertarol, that helps fight free radicals with potent long term anti-aging benefits, who doesn't like that? Each lipstick contains the amount of resveratrol  that's found in five glasses of red wine...free of synthetics, polybutenes and petroleum, in fact it's make with lip nurturing food grade ingredients that are healthy enough o eat, but i wouldn't do that, it takes more than eating makeup to make some people pretty on the inside. $24.00
SEPHORA

BY TERRY/ Hyaluranic Sheer Rouge

Say What?
I'm not sure I am even saying that right, but no matter. I love this, its the synergy of a lipstick and a lip balm for luminous lips. Hayluronic acid treats lips and adorns then in glossy plumping shine.
It's plumping which means it fills in wrinkles and fine lines  as it moisturizes lips. Bella Mucho! oh and this is a red balm too! $36.00 BARNEY'S

TELA BEAUTY ORGANICS- Plumping Lip Balm

Awesome stuff right here. 100% usda- Certified Organic lip balm that delivers plump, full lush lips with one application. yup!  With Cinnamon that warms and tingles  to naturally plump the lips while at the same time adds a moisture binder and skin strengthener. Ku Shen and milk thistle calm and protect skin, so your lips wont crack or split like some plumper's do. its filled with Chinese foxglove, reishi mushroom and wolf berry. So be careful if you have allergies to any of the ingredients its all natural.
$12.00 NORDSTROM

YOUNGBLOOD / LIP LINER

These are fast becoming two of my favorite lip liner shades, I have a tendencies to not use lip liners that much but some times it's all i use and with a lovely lip balm over it can create a natural , soft look to lips that's easy to maintain while filming. These creamy pencils shape, line and fill in lips with easy, helps to prevent lip colors from feathering too, It's no drying so its wont turn chalky.  Malt &  Pout are my most loved and used! love them! YOUNGBLOOD $12.00
