Translucent Powder: The Key to Enduring Makeup

• Allow the powder to set/dry the foundation completely

• Brush the excess powder off from the center of the face outwards leaving smooth, clean brush strokes to direct the traffic of light on the skin so that it will heighten skin brightness and luminosity.

Foundation: Top Coat For Your Skin

How to Pick the Right Foundation Shade

Please refer to these posts to know what Correctors are and how to use them.

What are Correctors?

How to use Correctors

Things to remember for the best foundation application

• Within the heart of the face is where the finish is most flawless.

• Once outside the heart line, the foundation can diminish from a level 10 to a level 1 as it moves towards the jawline and hairline.

• Always completely blend out what is on the skin before applying more  foundation to the skin. Create a thin veil of coverage that can be built on when and where it is needed.

• Do not apply an additional layer of foundation over a layer you just applied. This gives time for the existing layer to set (dry).

• Allow the brush to flick off the jawline rather than run the brush along the edge of the jaw line. This will create a disappearing finish as opposed to a border finish along the jaw line.

• Finally, use the corrector brush to apply the foundation very thinly under the eye area in the same shape as the corrector. In most scenarios, this provides all the coverage necessary under the eye area.

The best advice when applying foundation is:

“where you need it-when you need it.”

Jojoba Liquid Foundation

When developing my products, the last significant piece was foundation. Being a veteran in the makeup field, my criteria was set extremely high. Until I found a formula that met all my expectations, I was not going to offer a second-rate substitute. Foundation is that important.

Then I (re)discovered jojoba oil. After understanding its properties, I chose it as the ‘slip’ for my foundations.

Here is what makes jojoba oil great.

1. High similarity to sebum

What makes it so unique compared to other seed oils is that jojoba oil is structurally and chemically very similar to the human sebum. This is because sebum is also largely comprised of wax mono esters, the primary constituent of jojoba oil. In most cases, it can act as a substitute while giving similar or added benefits compared to sebum.

This is what makes jojoba oil ideal for foundation. Our natural skin sebum (oil) and jojoba oil are so identical that they bond almost completely. This is how Jojoba Liquid Foundation makes skin look like skin.

2. Extremely safe to use

Jojoba oil is non-toxic, non-comedogenic and non-allergenic. This means that it will not clog pores and will not cause any allergic reactions. It is also not an irritant, so it can safely be used around the eyes and on the skin. In addition to that, it does not cause a greasy feeling when used on the skin like other oils do.

3. It has a high content of beneficial minerals and Vitamin E

It contains many different varieties of tocopherols which make up Vitamin E and many other natural minerals. Vitamin E is well known for promoting healthy and clear skin.

4. It prevents damage from free radicals

Jojoba oil is an antioxidant and protects you from the damaging effects of free radicals, which is believed to contribute or cause various chronic diseases and cancer.

5. It is antibacterial

Most bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus and the fungus Candida albicans cannot reproduce and die when they come into contact with jojoba oil. In fact, it is so antibacterial that it can be used as a fungicide to control mildew.

I know, a lot of info. It matters how significant any ingredient is if you are going to put it all over your face. That is why I love jojoba oil.

Correctors are the Game Changer

Overall Face with a Heart Corrector Application Chart

Overwhelming  and confusing when seen at first glance.

Here is the application breakdown:

Under-eye.

One of the biggest concerns in makeup is the under eye area. Darkness distracts from the eyes and generally promotes a fatigued look. Beyond neutralizing the darkness, this method redirects the way light plays under the eyes to create an upward/outward lift that highlights the heart and vault of the face.

To do this, work with a more geometric shaped application. Instead of following the round orbital eye socket with product, reshape the under eye area to create the vaulted lifted appearance to the eye.

Pink and yellow/orange are the darkness correctors/neutralizers. Pink works with light to medium skin tones and yellow/orange work with medium-dark to dark skin tones.

Meet Joe Krown

One of my passions is New Orleans and New Orleans music.

Musicians in New Orleans are like no other. They see everyone as family and friends and treat them as such.

I love love love Joe’s sound and approached him to play his music in my video tutorials.

To my genuine surprise, and true New Orleans fashion, he said yes. No strings attached.

When I migrated to my new website (this one) I neglected to make a new page for Joe.

Well about time!

Please understand me when I say, Joe Krown and his many bands throughout his career are New Orleans standouts and will live on as New Orleans legends.

I urge you to give him a play. From his Funky groovin’ Organ Combo to stellar solo work to his immaculate current Trio, it is all gooood!

Thank you Joe!!!

Primer

First, for the foundation brush.

• Only use the feathery tip of the brush on the skin.

• The brush must remain fluffy in order to deliver the product at its best. If product gets deeper in the brush, the feathery tip of the brush becomes clumpy and product begins to appear to be clawing onto the skin.

• Always apply from the center of the face stroking outward on a slightly downward angle.

• Here is the most important thing to remember: The heart of the face is the focus for the appearance of skin because it contains the two main attractions on the face, the eyes and lips.

• Once the brush passes outside the heart, it is merely thinning to nothing the product left on the brush.

• Think level 10 coverage within the heart then 9-0 as the brush heads towards hairline and jawline

• The brush stroke flicks off of the jawline and never runs along it.

Makeup Gourmet Velvet Veil Primer imparts a delicate smoothness to the skin.

Use as little as possible.

Remember: Any layer of makeup thicker than your top layer of skin is sitting on your skin and not part of your skin. Please avoid thinking more is better. Skin thin is the perfect amount!

Modern Contour Eye Shadow

• Using the bullet brush, brush a darker shadow from the outer corner of the eye in the crease to the center of the eyelid ending and diving into the lash line at the pupil.

(Please note: this application mimics the wedge eye liner, only a thicker version).

• The shape drawn is similar to an elongated triangle or a doorstop.

• With a very small circular motion, using the side of the bullet brush, gently blur the upper descending border of the contour up and in as the brush moves towards the center of the eye at the lash line.

• Repeat this until the modern contour is blended to satisfaction.
