 Red Carpet Makeup: Tips and Tricks
Even
though a furry little groundhog has forecast six more weeks of winter,
spring fashion trends are already making their way onto the pages of
fashion magazines.
Soon the deep reds, purples, gold and
bronze hues of winter will make way for a dizzying array of pastels -
pink, persimmon, yellow-green, aqua blue, lilac, and chiffon yellow -
adorning layer upon layer of gauze and lace.
The whole look is decidedly feminine. (Also think bigger, more natural eyebrows!)
As beauty professionals your clients depend on you to help them achieve the latest "look" when it comes to makeup application.
In
our continuing effort to help beauty professionals to be successful,
Grace Albert Aesthetics is launching a new class, "Red Carpet Makeup:
Tips and Tricks."
This exciting and unique class for salon
professionals will help you have a clear understanding of all types of
products and application techniques necessary to give your client a
flawless face.
After this class, you will have the confidence to tackle any special-event makeup application that your client requires.
This
class is being developed by our in-house make-up specialist, Desiree
Poturney. With nearly ten years of makeup design experience under her
belt, Desiree's work has been featured in several popular magazines and
print ads. But her favorite thing to do is to teach working
professionals just like you to achieve success.
Our new "Red
Carpet Makeup: Tips and Tricks" class will DEBUT APRIL 2010, in Los
Angeles, CA. This class will be limited to eight (8) students, and
will be available for on-line or phone registration beginning March 1,
2010.

 Bling for That Girl Thing
Most Americans love to decorate themselves. Whether we are tattooing ourselves, coloring our hair, applying makeup, or dressing our "pocket dogs" in the latest couture fashions, we like BLING!
In keeping with that tradition, bedazzled bikini designs are one of the hottest trends in the body waxing market today, and Valentine's Day is a wonderful holiday to unleash your mad waxing skills. It's fun, easy and profitable to dazzle your clients by creating a fabulous 3-D Design complete dye, crystals and/or glitter.
Once you've created your masterpiece on the upper bikini area, remember that there's no wrong way to embellish it as long as you and your client are pleased with the results. Prices for bikini designs range from $25 - $75, depending upon the complexity of the design and the materials used.
Looking for new bikini waxing clients? Instead of discounting your services consider offering a FREE body glitter design to first time clients: skin glitter designs, which can be put anywhere on the body, take just minutes to complete and costs you about $2.00 in materials.
This is a creative way to bring in new clients, while keeping your waxing prices fixed.
Check out our Bling Design Kit which make designing both waxing and glitter designs a snap.

Three Easy Steps to Perfect Brow Fill-In
Filling a bald spot in an eyebrow can be a tricky operation and will leave the brow looking "drawn in" if not handled properly.
There are three easy steps to achieving perfect brow fill-in: 1. Base Color: Although pencils are a quick fix for small bald spots, because they are a grease-based product they are not recommended for extended use. A parfait, or wax-based pigment, is as easy to apply as pencil and stays in place until removed with cleanser or makeup remover.
Tinting the brow can also help to temporarily camoflouge a bald spot, but tint on skin fades quickly (2 - 5 days) and therefore is only a temporary solution. To properly apply brow parfait, choose a color that is one shade lighter than your normal (or tinted) brow hair. Apply a small amount of parfait to a metal or plastic makeup spatula and dip your slanted brow brush into the product, being careful to wipe off any excess product prior to application.
Apply the parfait using small brush strokes in the direction of surrounding hair growth. 2. Powder: Now that you've finished applying your base color, you can add color dimension to create a more natural look.
Start by choosing a brow powder, either pressed or loose, that is the same shade as the brow hair.
Again, we recommend using a stiff, slanted brow brush for application: apply the powder in the direction of hair growth from the beginning to the ending point of the brow. 3. Setting: Now that all the fill-in color is in place, comb the brows into place, and seal with brow setting gel, if needed. Consistent use of brow gel is a great way to re-directly unruly or stray brow hair back into place over time.
As a finishing touch, you can also apply a bit of luminescent highlighter to the skin just under the arch. Now your client's brows are red carpet ready, and you have a powerful form of advertisement walking around town. Remember (especially with brow design!) to give your clients 2 - 3 of your business cards, so when people comment on their perfect brows they can easily send new business your way.
