True Shimmer

I was a little curoius when I received the new Chapstick lip balms in the mail. I thought, "Wow", Chapstick is doing something different. They did something different alright. They added shimmer to the balms as well as different flavors. I tried all of the ones that I received. I didn't like the shimmer in the lip balm because it is very noticeable. It's not at all subtle the way the label stated. It also left my lips looking 'white'. Didn't like that at all!! For more reviews on this product, log on to http://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews

H.I.P. - 'High Intensity Pigment'

High Intensity Pigment was what I was expecting when I applied the color presso lip gloss, but instead I got thick, sticky gloss all over my lips. The texture of the gloss was too thick for me. It was not as bad as some lines, but I'm used to nice moisture in a gloss and not something thats going to make my hair stick to my lips. I loved the color. It was #182, Trendy. I can't really say much more about this one because it didn't really impress me. For more reviews on L'Oreal HIP, visit http://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews

L'Oreal HIP is kinda 'hip'!

L'Oreal Hip High Intensity Pigments - Kohl Eyeliner

I received a couple of cool looking products from L'Oreal HIP that I enjoyed trying out. The colors intrigued me. I received a navy kohl eyeliner that I use all the time. I wasn't so sure at first when I saw the felt tip applicator. I didn't know what to with it. I wasn't sure if it needed to be wet or not. After clearing up the confusion, I loved it. I totally recommend the eyeliner. It comes in other great colors like gold, burgundy, teal, etc. For more reviews on L'Oreal Hip and other beauty products, log on to http://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews

Beauty Tip Of The week

Whenever your skin has had too much yellow or olive foundation, warm it up with some red foundation.

IMATS - What a BLAST!!!

The International Makeup Artist Trade Show (IMATS)- Pasadena, CA affectionately called, 'The Show' is two days (June 20-21,2009) of pure joy (for me anyway). The show is produced by Makeup Artist Magazine (Publisher Michael Key). Before I go any further, I must clear up something. IMATS has been around for more than 10 years. It is currently being confused with another show produced by the other Michael. The Makeup Show is produced by Michael DeVellis of the Powder Group. That show has been around for a few years now. What's so special about IMATS (The Show) is that it is really for those who love the 'art' of makeup. If you want to create creatures and apply bald caps this show is for you. If you want to create great beauty fantasy looks, this show is for you. It covers every aspect of makeup. Although, I do wish that it would incorporate a little more special effects and tone down a little on some of the beauty makeup companies. Don't get me wrong, but there are a lot of companies with the same product (ex. Mineral makeup with glitter and shimmer shadows and pigment). All in all, this has been the best IMATS show in a long time. Great job!!

To correct a short chin, begin below the lip and highlight down to the end of the chin. This will give the appearance of an elongated chin.

To correct an elongated chin, shade underneath the chin in a darker shade of foundation. This will shorten the chin.
