Spring 2012 makeup collection by GUERLAIN – GUERLAIN les ROSES et le NOIR

January 26th, 2012

The Spring 2012 makeup collection by Guerlain is absolutely gorgeous – the products are so luxurious, pretty and absolutely perfect for brides to wear on their wedding day.

Not only are the formulations of the products themselves of the highest quality, the components themselves are very unique. Your wedding day is the one day when you want to feel special and using these products to create your wedding day makeup look will be an absolute pleasure for any bride.

The story begins with a flutter of lashes…
NOIR G DE GUERLAIN
The first refillable exceptional complete mascara with an integrated mirror from Guerlain

G041161 - Mascara Noir G

In 2009, Guerlain revolutionised the lipstick world by presenting Rouge G, a unique lipstick that looks like a cosmetic jewel, designed by Lorenz Baümer. In 2012, the magic continues… Noir G is the first Guerlain mascara to combine the extravagant luxury of a jewel case with an extraordinary formula for perfectly defined eyes.

TALISMAN
Pull: there is a click and the mirror is revealed. Twist: a sleight of hand and a brush appears.
Noir G is refillable to belong to you and no-one else.
PERFECT BLACK
Noir G has been formulated on the basis of blacker, glossier, new-generation Ultra Black pigments. A magnifying effect amplifies the intensity and depth of the black. Noir G’s black is the purest there is, unique depth, maximum power of contrast, extremely.
3D VISION
Noir G’s supple and generous texture delivers a three-dimensional result. Its volumising formula coats the lashes to the max. Lengthening, it stretches and elongates every lash, even the shortest and finest. Curling, it coats the lashes in a protective film to maximise and set an outrageous curl. All without the slightest smudge or risk of the formula flaking.
AN EXCEPTIONAL BRUSH
An ingenious brush for an exceptional mascara. Noir G’s brush is soft and supple for perfect, fast and even distribution over all the lashes. Narrow and extremely easy to handle, it glides everywhere, catching and wrapping around every lash above and below. The lashes are transformed: perfectly defined, denser and cloaked in a new intensity.
AN EXCEPTIONAL FRAGRANCE
The House of Guerlain has created a signature fragrance with delicate notes for Noir G.

MÉTÉORITES CRUEL GARDÉNIA
Iridescent Illuminating Powder – Limited edition

This incredibly light and fine illuminating powder lights up the skin with a subtly iridescent veil.
To reveal the radiance of the complexion apply all over with the Météorites powder brush.
To sculpt the face add in highlighting touches, using the skin-enhancing power of light rather than shade.

ÉCRIN 4 COULEURS
Long-Lasting Eyeshadows, Captivating Colours

G041253 - Les Roses

STUNNING EYE COMPACTS FOR BRIDES:

11 LES ROSES IRIDESCENT frosted pink with minute pearl particles, MATTE intense pink with an ultra-gentle matte effect.
VELVET SATIN: raspberry pink with a velvety finish, and metallic and hypnotic. ALCATAR’EYES: violet. For a look that is fresh and enticing.
12 LES AQUA: Shimmering IRIDESCENT petrol blue, sophisticated MATTE navy, VELVET SATIN turquoise with perfect glide.
ALCATAR’EYES glacier blue with magnetic shine. For a sophisticated and stunning look.

ROUGE G DE GUERLAIN- PINK COLLECTION
Exceptional Complete Lipstick- Limited edition
AN ODE TO PINK

These four shades are a declaration of love to pink, glamour and real style.
To avoid having to choose between creaminess and radiance, beauty and comfort, a magic formula: a dash of ruby powder for spectacular radiance, a few spheres of hyaluronic acid to smooth and plump up the lips, a hint of filling Gugul resin, plumping Tiger Grass, and wild mango
butter for perfect hydration.

72 ROSE INNOCENT: pure and iridescent … Truly irresistible.
73 ROSE ENSOLEILLÉ: creamy and luscious, its accents set the lips alight.
74 ROSE PIQUANT: a sumptuous pink with outrageous radiance.
75 ROSE BARBARE: a false fuchsia, incandescent and provocative

And for the finishing touch to your wedding makeup look:
KISSKISS GLOSS Extreme Shine – Radiant Colour

This season the lips are pretty in pink. Ultra-sheer raw ingredients are giving way entirely to pigments. These shimmering agents cloak the smile in a crystalline film. The gel texture melts
over the lips, transforming into a comfortable film with long-lasting shine.

869 ROSE IN BLOOM: pure pink.
870 CHERRY PINK: a gourmand pastel.
871 FROSTED ROSE: an off-white with delicate, subtle pink mother-of-pearl particles

Dermalogica Ultracalming range for sensitive skin

January 19th, 2012

DERMALOGICA® LAUNCHES ULTRACALMING™ SYSTEM

SERIOUS RELIEF FOR SENSITIZED SKIN

redness_relief_spf20_2_GRAY

What good are products that treat half the problem? Dermalogica, the skin care system researched and developed by The International Dermal Institute, raised this question when new research revealed more than one contributing factor behind sensitized skin. This finding inspired UltraCalming™, a complete system to help manage the multiple causes behind sensitized, inflamed skin, which can stem from a genetic predisposition towards sensitivity or as a result from environmental assaults.

I am seeing more and more clients with skin sensitivity – it really does seem to be on the increase and this range of products from Dermalogica is perfect to address these issues and I highly recommend them to clients who ask me for advice in this area.

The good news is that sensitized skin can be treated. The bad news is that, left untreated, the skin’s response can actually result in permanent cellular damage, which can lead to serious skin conditions and premature aging.

All five UltraCalming™ products feature the highly-effective, proprietary UltraCalming™ Complex.This multi-benefit complex includes active ingredients that mediate immunogenic and neurogenic inflammatory triggers for immediate and long-term relief of inflamed, sensitized skin. It also includes botanicals and peptides that help mimic skin’s natural protective barrier, helping to strengthen skin cell structure against water loss and defend against dehydration-induced sensitization.

The UltraCalming™ Retail Product Range consists of:

UltraCalming™ Cleanser: A soothing, pH-balanced gel/cream that glides easily over face and eyes to cleanse without stripping skin’s protective barrier. Helps calm and cool the redness, heat and discomfort of rosacea, sensitized or highly reactive skin. Easily rinses away or wipes off, making it ideal for skin so sensitized it cannot tolerate water. Contains no artificial fragrance or color. (Size: 500ml|RRP:£44.50/€54.20 |Size:250ml|RRP: £25.00/€30.60)

UltraCalming™ Mist: A soothing toner that provides critical hydration while helping to relieve and defend against inflammation. Quickly relieves inflammation and discomfort, helping skin recover from damage and lipid barrier breakdown. Helps condition skin to prepare for proper moisture absorption. The easy-to-use, spray application can also be used after epilation, waxing or exfoliation for soothing benefits. (Size: 177ml|RRP: £26.00/€31.70)

UltraCalming™ Serum Concentrate: A star product in the system, this silky, super concentrated serum helps treat, correct and defend skin against inflammation and redness. Helps interrupt inflammatory triggers to prevent flare-ups. Best used every day on sensitized skin while ideal for flare-ups on all skin conditions. Provides enough hydration for normal to oily skin conditions. Also can be used following cosmetic procedures for calming and soothing skin. (Size: 50ml|RRP: £49.00/€59.80)

UltraCalming™ Barrier Repair: A unique anhydrous (waterless) moisturizer that melts gently into sensitized skin to soothe and help repair damage from environmental aggression. Creates a shield against environmental assault to help prevent further damaging assaults and helps combat free radicals and moisture loss. Silicones provide a velvety feel. Provides a smooth, even base, ideal for preparing skin for make-up application. (Size: 30ml|RRP: £34.00/€41.50)

UltraCalming™ Relief Masque:A powerful treatment masque for sensitized and reactive skin to help recover from damage and sensitivity, while enhancing barrier properties and promoting healthy tissue function. Restorative treatment to help provide relief to sensitized, irritated, and inflamed skin. Botanicals help soothe and calm stressed skin. Reinforces barrier function to protect against future assaults. (Size: 75ml| RRP: £37.60/€45.80)

True to Dermalogica formulation standards, all UltraCalming™ products are free of known sensitizers like artificial fragrances and dyes, and tackle the challenges of treating sensitized, highly-reactive and recently resurfaced skin.

Dermalogica products are only available in appointed skin care centers on the recommendation of a qualified skin care therapist. For stockist details, please call 0800 591818 / www.dermalogica.com

CHANEL Spring/Summer 2012 Show Backstage Images – gorgeous makeup inspiration for a bride!

January 15th, 2012

2012 Spring-Summer Ready-to-Wear Show Makeup

Interview with Peter Philips

Creative Director of Chanel Makeup

What was your inspiration to create the make up of this show? Did Karl Lagerfeld give you a brief?

To meet the inspiration of this fantastic underwater fairytale feeling and the mood of lightness, Karl wanted shine and pearl. He made some beautiful sketches where the girls had pearl studded ears and pearls following the spine.

Where was the focus?

The focus was on luminosity, purity and a touch of humour. I did pale, glowy skin with a pink/coral blush, a wet shiny eyelid finished with black eyeliner, slightly glossy lips and randomly placed pearl piercings. Some girls had a pearl spine.

Can you describe it and tell us the products you used?

For skin I used Vitalumière Aqua Ultra Light Skin Perfecting Makeup Cream Compacts. For the eyes I used Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-lasting Eyeliner inEbène, Mascara Inimitable Waterproof in Black, Le Crayon Khôl Intense Eye Pencil in Clair and two shades of Illusion d’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow - Fantasme and Emerveillé.

For the cheeks I used Blush Horizon de CHANEL. On the lips I used Rouge Coco Baume and Lèvres Scintillantes Glossimer in Plaisir.

Is there a specific product that you particularly developed, or enjoyed using for this makeup look?

I created a white, pearl nail polish exclusively for the show and for the more “colourful” passages I used three nail polish shades called April, May and June. All three shades come out next Spring.

Do you have some professional tips or tricks to share with us?

This is a very accessible, wearable look that is easy to apply and flattering for most women. The balance between shine and matte, topped with a hint of colour, is a perfect way to float into Spring 2012.

This is a list of the products used – I think this is such a pretty, feminine look which would look so beautiful on any bride

Murad launches Hybrids™ makeup range

January 10th, 2012

Murad launches Hybrids™
makeup range

What are Hybrids?

Hybrids are high performance treatments specifically formulated to improve skin health blended with a skin perfecting cosmetic to disguise flaws. This new, innovative line from Murad features two eye treatments designed to firm, brighten and conceal as well as two skin perfecting primers to minimise pores, in a dewy and a matte finish. Each of these intelligently engineered formulas combine two high performance technologies into a single convenient 2-in-1 problem solver.

What is unique about Hybrids products?

Hybrids offer the perfect marriage of advanced skin treatment technologies and premium cosmetics. This unique combination gives these 2-in-1 problem solvers the power to let you simultaneously treat and mask your skin concerns.

Hybrid Eye Lifts include 5x Firming Technology to visibly lift; Re-Luminate Complex to provide both instant and long term dark circle reduction and the Smart Moisture System to hydrate and depuff.

Hybrid Skin Perfecting Primers feature Pore Factor-5 which minimizes the appearance of pores as it balances oil production. These performance primers also feature Adaptive Shade Technology to create a perfect skin tone match.

What products are in the Hybrids Line?

Eye Lift Illuminator

Instantly brighten and firm the skin around the eyes. This illuminating violet formula brightens the eye area and increases skin firmness by 50% in 15 minutes. Hydrate, depuff and minimise dark circles to rapidly restore a youthful look to the eye. (£25.00 / €32.50)

Eye Lift Perfector

hybrids-eye-lift-perfector_2_0

Increase firmness by 50% in 15 minutes with this natural tint formula that evens skin texture and tone. Hydrate, depuff and minimise dark circles to rapidly restore a youthful look to the eye. (£25.00 / €32.50)

Skin Perfecting Primer Dewy Finish

A universal shade, oil-free primer, balances oil production, disguises flaws, evens skin texture and minimises the appearance of pores while creating the perfect radiant glow. (£27.00 / €35.50)

Skin Perfecting Primer Matte Finish

hybrids-skin-perfecting-primer-matte-finish_2

A universal shade, oil-free primer balances oil production, disguises flaws, evens skin texture and minimises the appearance of pores to create a smooth powder finish. (£27.00 / €35.50)

These products are new ‘kit box’ must haves for me – I’ve been a fan of Murad skincare for a long time, so I was really excited about the new launch of Hybrid makeup. I love all the products – especially the eye products – amazing concealers/ treatments which lighten and brighten the eyes beautifully.

The primers are also gorgeous under foundations – or, if your younger bridesmaids want their skin to look fresher but not ‘made up’ on your wedding day, it will give their skin a fresh radiance and more of an even complexion.

Murad products and treatments are available from leading salons and spas nationwide. For stockist enquiries and mail order call 0844 472 7050 or visit www.murad.co.uk.

PRIORI® Lash Recovery Serum – clinically tested to enhance lashes in just two weeks

January 5th, 2012

Eye-catching News: Introducing PRIORI® Lash Recovery Serum!

PRIORI® introduces Lash Recovery Serum with Triple Lipopeptide Complex™ – the newest product in The Anti-Aging Authority’s Target Skin Therapy™ line.

I’m a huge fan of lash enhancement serums, as I do believe that they do work – you must just make sure that you use them as directed and make sure that you use them regularly (this is so important to make sure that they work). There are many on the market – some are definitely more effective than others and this is a very effective product and is perfect to use in the run up to your wedding if you want your lashes to look their best on your wedding day.

Formulated to dramatically enhance the appearance of eyelashes and eyebrows in as little as two weeks, PRIORI® Lash Recovery Serum is the first and only prostaglandin-freelash enhancer that utilizes three different potent lipopeptides, which work in synergy for amazing results, helping make lashes and brows look fuller, thicker and more voluptuous.

This anti-ageing booster for lash recovery was clinically tested (results attached) to enhance lashes in only two weeks – a technological breakthrough. There was an increase in length and up to 27.75% increase in eyelash thickness and density.

Lash Recovery - Eye Catching Clinical Data

PRIORI® Lash Recovery Serum (£79) provides fast, clinically proven results, and is formulated specifically to reduce the potential for irritation.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: With clean hands, apply one stroke with the applicator brush to the base of upper eyelashes, from the inner to outer corner. Follow same procedure for brows, covering entire eyebrow area. Eye area should be clean and free of makeup and/or creams prior to application. Use once daily, at bedtime.

A fantastic concealer from LANCOME that is long lasting and can be used under eyes and on imperfections

January 2nd, 2012

b_025172

It isn’t often that you find a concealer that can be used not just under the eyes, but also on any other imperfections such as blemishes or redness. I have found such a concealer from Lancome, which is now a regular item in my kit box.

EFFACERNES (long-lasting softening concealer) blurs fine lines and reduces shadows around the eyes instantly for smooth, more even looking results that truly last. Its soft, fine texture uses a light-diffusing technology to soften facial lines and brighten dull, tired-looking skin. Enriched with cornflower and camomile, it gives your skin an instant feeling of well-being.

This tube of concealer lasts such a long time, as you only need to use a small amount. I apply a tiny amount of this product to the back of my hand and after foundation I can apply this under the eyes using a concealer brush (I then gently smooth the product using my ring finger) and then with the product left over, use it to then cover any other imperfections. It’s such a unique formulation – it isn’t too greasy, isn’t too dry and it lasts all day.

Another top tip is that you can mix it on the back of your hand with a little of your foundation and gently ‘pat’ on the cheek area to cover any redness, then follow with a setting of face powder.

The RRP of this product is £20.45 which I think is so reasonable, considering the quality of the product and how long it lasts.

JO MALONE – the Wild Bluebell Collection

December 21st, 2011

wild-bluebell

Wild Bluebell

Once upon a time…well actually, right about now, The World of Jo Malone™ introduces Wild Bluebell.

A fresh new scent, heady with the shimmering sweetness of vibrant sapphire blooms. And wild, because it’s a pretty quirky take, inspired by a wickedly whimsical, contemporary fairytale that stars Wild Bluebell herself.

Fresh bluebell and clove form the top notes of this light floral fragrance. Lily of the valley, eglantine and jasmine are found at the heart with white amber and musk at the base of the scent.

The English bluebell captures the spirit of springtime, creating vibrant carpets across British woodlands.

Sadly the native English bluebell is under threat and it is vital that it is cherished and protected. To help England stay carpeted with bluebells Jo Malone London has made a donation to the Woodland Trust.

The reason I am writing about these products, is that I am already a fan of Jo Malone’s products – the quality of these luxurious products is absolutely gorgeous and I think that this particular fragrance would be so pretty for a bride – my favourite product in the range has to be the Body Creme – divine to use and leaves your skin with the most beautiful silkiness and fragrance.

The Wild Bluebell cologne and ancillaries are available now.

Wild Bluebell Cologne 30ml RRP £36/ €42

Wild Bluebell Cologne 100ml RRP £72/ €84

Wild Bluebell Body & Hand Wash 250ml RRP £30/ €40

Wild Bluebell Body Creme 175ml RRP £48/ €60

Wild Bluebell Home Candle 200g RRP £38/ €50

Dermalogica NEW Concealing Spot Treatment

December 16th, 2011

Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment

CST-resized

New packaging, new size, improved formula

The improved formulation behind Dermalogica® Concealing Spot Treatment delivers the same efficient results of controlling breakouts with the added benefits of a new ingredient and convenient packaging. Still part of the Dermalogica MediBac Clearing^TMfamily – the new formulation of Concealing Spot Treatment will fit perfectly with your MediBac routine.

I LOVED the old version of this product – so had to tell you about the ‘new and improved version’! Over the years I have been working as a makeup artist, so many ladies and men ask me what they can use to cover blemishes which will make the blemishes heal quicker and not get worse – as piling on lots of foundation and greasy concealers will only make matters worse and I have recommended this product time and time again – and will continue to do so!

Ingredient technology

Unlike many spot treatments, Concealing Spot Treatment is multifunctional, with the needs of adult skin in mind. Far from a concealer, it is a targeted acne treatment powered by the active ingredient Sulfur that both heals and clears, while providing a natural tint ideal for daytime coverage. So if it was such an effective treatment, why the change? As we do research into the latest ingredient technology, we find ways to dramatically improve formulations, while maintaining the effectiveness of the product. This is one of those instances. Adult skin is often a combination of skin conditions, characterized by sensitivity, signs of aging, and inflammation. Compounded with these conditions, adult acne becomes a challenging and pervasive issue. An inflammatory eruption, much like a volcano eruption, leaves all sorts of devastation in its wake- red, broken, sensitive skin that may not heal properly. To complement the clearing and purifying properties of the formulation, we have added Carob Seed Extract (Ceratonia siliqua) to help the skin repair itself while in the treatment process. This botanical extract accelerates the recovery of stressed skin, eliminating redness and strengthening the barrier function. For a comprehensive treatment of breakouts, this improved formula eliminates bacteria, clears excess oil and accelerates the reconstruction of damaged skin, thus minimizing scarring.

Consistency

Unlike other acne treatments, this improved formula has the additional benefit of healing and protecting rather than drying out the surrounding skin, which is reflected in the consistency of Concealing Spot Treatment. The improved formula is creamier for easier spread ability and will not cake upon contact. Simply apply to blemish, let stand for five seconds and pat until blended to provide the skin with lasting acne-fighting and barrier-protecting ingredients throughout the day.

Packaging

Housed in a new travel-friendly tube with needle nose tip, this medicated treatment will combat blemishes while enhancing the skin’s natural recovery process to minimize healing time and prevent future breakouts. So if you already love Concealing Spot Treatment, you’ll love it even more with these added benefits.

NEW Concealing Spot Treatment size: 10ml RRP: £25.00

Dermalogica products are only available in appointed skin care centres on the recommendation of a qualified skin care therapist. For stockist details, please call 0800 591818 or visit www.dermalogica.com

Some inspiration and ideas for you – different bridal makeup looks and styles

December 11th, 2011

If you think that bridal makeup is all the same – think again!

Every bride is different – their gowns are different, so are their personalities/ style and some brides want a natural look, whereas others like something more dramatic. That’s why I love working with brides, as creating different looks is so much fun.

I’m always writing ‘get the look’ posts on certain looks, but I thought it would be fun to put a selection of some of the brides/ bridal models that I have had the pleasure of working with, as seeing them all together shows all of the different styles of makeup that you can choose from, for your own wedding day. These aren’t all the full sized photographs – they are thumbnails of the photos to give you the idea of the style of makeup – you can see the full sized photograph and many, many more examples of my work on my website – www.sarahbmakeup.co.uk.
