Madonna Makeup Tips: How to get her look!

Sat, 24 May 2008 09:44:20 -0700

Colorado and Denver Makeup Artist Danica - There is nothing more beautiful than a woman who owns her makeup look like Madonna does! She rocks her signature pale skin, flawless black liquid liner, and a natural but not too natural pink lipstick. Known for glamorous look, but never over done, Madonna has been known to have custom lashes made of pure mink fur or even diamonds on her lashes. Sounds dramatic right? Not Madonna! Here is how to get that classic Madonna look:

New makeup tips: Creating a focus for your face.

Tue, 20 May 2008 08:50:24 -0700

Good Article on Makeup tips by Denver Makeup Guru Danica - Have you ever wondered when wearing a bright and vibrant lipstick what the rest of your makeup should look like? It is all about creating a focus for your face! The last thing a woman wants is drama on all features of her face (Well, I guess you never know!). The first step is to determine the feature of your face that you want to focus on. Maybe you always have a more dramatic eye and you want to play up your lips for once, so you decide to wear MAC Prep & Prime Lip (to keep this dramatic look on a lot longer), MAC lipstick in Viva Glam I (my most favorite neutral red lipstick that looks amazing on everyone!), MAC Red Enriched Cremestick (Water resistant, need I say more?). Now that you have determined that lips are your focus it is time for the second step which is to create a more dramatic cheek look and you choose to use Shu Uemera Glow On Blush in Red 14 and don't be scared to add a little highlight to the cheekbone. When using the lips as a focus it is a good idea to put a little drama on the cheeks as well. Third Step is to create a subtle eye look, this means go easy on the frost texture and the bright colors! I am a huge fan of using matte textures on the eyes anyway while accentuating with a little frost. Try MAC Kid eyeshadow in the crease for a softly defined crease and NARS allegoria on the eyelid. Your eyeliner should remain soft as well, so either use a dark brown or black liner with a very soft application and a thin line. So to break it down, when your lips are a main focus then you want to to accentuate the cheeks and play down the eyes. When your eyes (smokey eye, colorful eye, etc.) are a main focus then you want a more subtle cheek and lips, so create that hot nude lip with a soft pink or peach on the cheeks.

Photo friendly makeup tips: SPF or no SPF for camera?(Great bridal makeup tip!)

Kim Kardashian Makeup Rant! Anyone who knows me knows that I think Kim Kardashian is so amazingly beautiful! Her makeup is always flawless and she loves my favorite cosmetic lines; MAC, Shu Uemera and NARS. Her constant dark smokey eye and nude lip are to die for! Girlicious, who I have to say look like beautiful girls, but who the heck put that concealer on those girls? Doesn't their makeup artist know to never ever use a high SPF if you will be taking pictures? A great celebrity makeup tip is avoid the high SPF at night because they never know when they will snapped by the paparazzi! This look is the anti-raccoon eye! My clients of Make-up Envy hear me preach time after time about not using an SPF for one of my wedding makeup tips. This bad concealer job be may a combination of things, such as using the wrong shade or undertone of the concealer (a red or peachy tone best, but that is another post!), a full matte coverage and of course that darn SPF. If you must use a full coverage concealer use Shu Uemera's pro concealer which has no SPF and covers really well. My personal favorite is MAC select moisturecover because let's face it every woman wants a soft and supple eye area even in tone without the appearance of wearing concealer! Thanks for listening to my rantings! I love to chat, so write me or post a comment.

Eye makeup tips: How to choose your perfect mascara!

Tue, 13 May 2008 14:21:13 -0700

Good Eye mascara makeup tips,

Summary:Do you have lash envy? I bet you are admiring your best friend who has amazing lashes because of her favorite mascara she has used for years, but when you tried it you had tarantula lashes! There is not just one perfect mascara for every woman. The truth is that finding the best mascara takes time and patience... kinda like dating! You are introduced to the mascara and you seem a little excited thinking about what might be, but then you find out that this mascara does not want the same lash look as you and then it is time to move on once again in search of that one perfect mascara. Keep your chin up ladies there are plenty of mascaras out there! Now it time to figure out what you really want and don't be afraid to do your research. Here are a couple of tips:

1. Determine what you want your lashes to look like (full and thick or long and defined)

2. Determine what your type of lashes you have (full, skimpy, long, short, etc.)

3. Choose your mascara based on the brush not the formula.

-Full and Thick lashes: Choose the bristles that are not so close together, there will typically be a lot of space between the bristles just like the first brush in the picture above.

-Long and defined: Choose the brush that looks like small needles that taper at the end. This brush will not allow a lot of mascara on your lash for that clumpy look.

Whatever mascara you end up choosing just remember that your lashes should never be really hard or clumpy, lashes should be lush and soft. Use a makeup remover at the end of the night to remove all mascara and eye makeup to ensure that your lashes stay soft. I love using jojoba oil with a cotton ball which moisturizes your lashes and delicate eye area
