GET THE LOOK: LADY SINGS THE BLUES

Apr
17
2013

FROM RUNWAY TO REALITY
On the runways and in the makeup, playful pastels reigned supreme. Things were gorgeously green and absolutely blue-tiful at Stella McCartney where striking hues of blue and green were applied to the eyes. Warm orange was a signature Pantone color that wears well on most skin tones. Translated on the lips, the lips were playful and natural at Dolce & Gabbana.

Authentic Beauty’s talented team of makeup artists analyzed the above trends and a wearable new makeup look was born! Lady Sings the Blues from Authentic Beauty’s Spring 2013 Makeup Series, The Lyrical Lovelies, features soft aqua blue eyes and lustrous peachy coral lips. Look bright, beachy and beautiful in this look that transitions seamlessly from Spring to Summer.

THE LADY SINGS THE BLUES: HOW TO CAPTURE THIS LOOK
1. Start with even, natural looking skin by applying Authentic Beauty’s non toxic Magic 3-in-1 Foundation using a Pointed Foundation Brush. For a smooth and flawless finish, be sure to buff your skin using a Finishing Powder Brush.

2. Then, add a warm blush (like Soft Glo) to the apples of your cheeks using an Angle Cheek Brush.

3. Define your eyebrows with Wonderbrow brow color with an Angle Brow Brush. Thick brows were big on the Spring runways so carefully emphasize them around the top edge of your natural brows. Be sure to stay close to the natural brow line so your brows only look barely thicker than they really are.

4. On the eyes, start by adding a flesh tone powder all over using a wide soft brush like the Squirrel Precision Blender Brush to ensure smooth application of other colors. For this look, you can use a fun aqua color that either comes in a matte or a shimmer. We used Aquamarine eye shadow on a Chisel Deluxe Fluff brush applied to the lid. For a more intense color, add 2-3 coats of the shadow.  Or for sparkle, add a layer from the Shimmer Pot in Serenity or Aqua Ice. Finish the eyes with 2 coats of black Blinc mascara.

5.  Add a beachy, peachy color to the lips.  We recommend Champs Elysee gloss or try out our custom created color lipstick that is sheer and delicious and made just for this look!

GIVE MOM THE GIFT OF BEAUTY THIS MOTHER’S DAY!

Apr

2013

You know how beautiful your mother is….This Mother’s Day, give mom the most incredible, and memorable gift ever, an Image Journey from Authentic Beauty.   The Image Journey, Authentic Beauty’s signature service, is an unforgettable experience that allows a woman to reflect and create an image that expresses her Authentic Self.

Rather than a typical makeover experience where the artist tells you how you “should” look, this interactive makeup lesson  allows a woman to discover what she loves, what she resonates with, and how she personally defines beauty.  It allows her to discover and learn how to create her Authentic Image through makeup.

THE IMAGE JOURNEY EXPERIENCE

When you schedule The Image Journey, you will have simple homework (inspired by the work of author Sarah Ban Breathnach) that you will complete and bring with you to your session. This includes going through images in magazines, online etc. and selecting pictures of looks that you are drawn to and that feel true to you. (This is not about comparing yourself-this is about inspiration!). You will put these pictures in a journal or on a Pinterest board. Your artist will evaluate what you resonate with, analyze your current makeup technique and tools and give you suggestions that will have you loving what you see when you look in the mirror! Bring all of your own makeup and brushes to your session so your artist can evaluate what you already own and utilize those tools to create your custom look.

Your Authentic Beauty professional artist will show you exactly how to create and then master the looks you love. At the end of your session, you will leave with a face chart detailing the process step-by-step so you can recreate your perfect look at home.  This fun and transformational experience also includes a follow-up session to ensure you can recreate the looks you learned!

 ”We promise you will love what you see when you look in the mirror and we guarantee you can do it yourself”

MOTHER’S DAY SPECIAL

Get $50.00 off an Image Journey this Mother’s Day!! This is a 120 minute appointment.  Also, get 10% off all products or get 10% off a gift certificate.  To book an appointment, visit our website, or call Authentic Beauty at 404-849-0443 for an appointment or email us at appointments@authenticbeautyllc.com.
