Rihanna

Rihanna sports a golden bronze-y look.

Fair, rosy skin is definitely a main-stay in winter, but a golden bronze tan is certainly captivating. Luckily, anyone can achieve a bronzed makeup look without the harsh UV rays. Rihanna shows off her glow with shimmery brown eye makeup and a golden bronzed tan that looks perfect on her skin tone.

To achieve a look that’s tan, never muddy, select a bronzer that’s right for your skin tone. Medium skinned women look fetching in golden bronzers, and fair-skinned women are better off with a hue that has pinkish-undertones.

Here’s how to get her look:

  1.  Even out your skin tone with foundation, if needed. Then, use a peachy-bronze blush. Try MAC Powder Blush in Raizin on your cheekbones.
  2. Apply dark brown or black eyeliner to your inner rims. Then, sweep coppery-bronze eyeshadow like L’Oreal Paris Wear Infinite Eye Shadow Single in Copper Penny on your lids and blend it up towards to your brow bones. Curl your lashes and apply thickening mascara.
  3. Apply pinkish or nude lipstick with a shiny finish to your lips. Glide it on with a fingertip for a less done up result.
  4. Sweep a shimmery bronzer across the cheeks. Try using Lauren Mercier’s shimmer block bronzer. This has 4 unique shades that when blended together give the skin a healthy, youthful all-over glow. It also brighten eyes and cheeks with a hint of natural color and light.
  5. Finish with Skindinavia finishing spray to hold your look all day and you’re on your way!

Posted in Anti- Aging, Anti-Aging Skincare, Celebrities, celebrity beauty, Celebrity Beauty & Style, Celebrity Makeup, Health and Beauty, Natural Beauty, Skin Care, Skincare on January 9th, 2012 by Eva Knapp

Jennifer AnistonWinter is here in full effect and we still have a few more months of brutal cold until Spring arrives. If you don’t pay attention or take care of your body this time of year, you will see the effects on your skin, such as dry hands, chapped lips, and brittle hair. Making sure you take the right steps to combat the weather is essential for healthy skin. Jennifer Aniston, 42 years old, maintains her ageless, sun-goddess looks by keeping up with her skin care regimen. While you can afford to be a little lax with treatment products in summer when humidity is higher, but you need to ensure your skin is taken care of in winter with regular exfoliation and moisturizing masks. By following just a few precautions, we can keep our skin healthy and glowing, like Jennifer Aniston.

  1.  Moisturize More. The trick to winter beauty is in keeping your skin well-hydrated. The combination of a moisture-loaded skincare regimen and the most up-to-date make-up looks will help you smoulder as the temperature drops. Make sure you have some extra heavy duty moisturizing cream handy.
  2. Love your lips. Using a lip protector such as lip balm, chap stick or lipstick with a moisturizer to keep the lips soft will help prevent them from drying out. Make sure the product you pick has a good moisturizing properties, protects the lips against the elements, and contains vitamin E.
  3.  Exfoliate. Exfoliation is good for you because it helps to remove dead skin cells by allowing the skin to absorb more moisture. A good rule of thumb is to increase exfoliation to twice a week in the winter. Sephora brand’s Smart Dual Action Exfoliator effectively cleans and wipes away dead skin cells.  For anti aging try Olay’s Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System to regenerate your skin’s appearance at home.
  4. Use weekly clay masks. Detoxify and deep cleanse your skin with a weekly mask that uses draws out impurities and controls excess oil
  5. Switch to a foundation that moisturizes and combats aging. A slightly more moisturizing foundation gets your skin set for the season. Try using Bobbi Brown Luminous Moisturizing foundation, an anti aging treatment and foundation in one – perfect for the drier conditions that come with winter.

Five Easy-To-Keep Beauty Resolutions

Posted in Anti-Aging Skincare, Beautiful Smile, Celebrities, celebrities makeup, celebrity beauty, Celebrity Beauty & Style, Celebrity Makeup, Celebrity Makeup Foundation, Celebrity Style, Celebrity-Makeup-Eye-Makeup-Ideas, Moisturizer, Natural Beauty, Skin Care, Skincare, Tip Of The Week on December 29th, 2011 by Eva Knapp

Elizabeth Banks New Year’s Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, looking forward to the coming year. It’s a time to reflect on the changes we want to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Many do not always follow through on NYE resolutions but here are 5 beauty tips that are so easy you can actually keep!

  1. Get our your hot rollers. This year’s glam retro styles like Elizabeth Bank’s Hollywood glam curls are easy to create with a classic styling tool: hot rollers.
  2. Commit to a skin care regimen. Your skin will thank you! If you can’t wash your face before bed, use a makeup removing exfoliating wipe like Almay’s Makeup Remover pads.
  3. De-clutter your makeup bag. If you haven’t used a product or tool in a month, toss it. Instead of carrying around two, three (or 10) pink glosses, keep only the one you reach for most.
  4. Pick a perfect shade of foundation. A natural-looking base is key because it sets the stage for the rest of your makeup. Pinpoint your best match by testing colors on your jaw line.
  5. Resolve to touch-up less! Layering on powders and concealer throughout the day keeps your skin from breathing and it’s heavy on the wallet. Invest in long-wear makeup and a setting spray (hey, we love Skindinavia’s Original Makeup Finishing Spray!) to keep skin fresh and glowy throughout the year.
