Sugar Tuesday

This season iSTYLE shows you everything you need to know from head to toe beauty. Creamy glossy consistencies, sheer pastel shades and healthy looking skin, define spring makeup. That’s why we turned to the Stila Spring Collection, aptly named Rain or Shine, to reflect the crisp radiance and freshness of the season.

From Cezanne to Michelangelo, all great painters began with smooth, clean and flawless canvasses before they created their artistic visions. This simple rule also bodes well for stunning makeup application…Starting off with a beautifully prepared canvass: your skin!

FACE

As seen here we started with Stila Illuminating Liquid Foundation in 70 Watt. It’s enough coverage to smooth out any unevenness in the skin including the under eye area. It illuminates the need for concealor but is light enough not to see the foundation…just beautiful healthy skin! Our professional makeup artist tips; -always apply foundation with a sponge, it makes the foundation go on smoothly and evenly and you can cover blemishes easily by stippling the sponge over the spots. Also always apply foundation on the eyelids as well as the inner corners of the eyes to cover dark circles. - after, apply stila illuminating pressed powder in medium watt to make eyeshadows last all day without creasing as well as getting the full effects of the colour.

Next take Stila Bronzer in Sun Shade #3 and apply it with a large brush only to the areas of the face which the sun naturally hits: Across the bridge of the nose, across the cheeks, the forehead and finally the chin. To enhance a sexy radiant glow apply Stila, All Over Shimmer and blend it only to places you want to highlight like the brow bone, cheekbones and the area above the eyebrows. Our final step to complete the canvas is Stila Rouge Pots in Rosey Pink, the perfect blush.

HAIR

Long, full and glamorous hair once only available for the Hollywood elite has never been more easily attained than now. Here we used 18” long real hair extensions to add length and fullness by just curling the ends to keep it soft.

Our professionals tip; although made of real hair, extensions are very delicate. To help them last longer and healthier use anti-aging, gentle hair products like iv cosmeceuticals which has the special ingredient polyphenolics. The same ingredient that protects the delicate colour of flowers from the harsh elements. Prolong colour extending shampoo and revive colour extending nutrition help to protect chemically treated hair and make it healthy. When styling always spray with deflect thermal protection before using any heated styling appliance on your hair.

BODY

Spring is time to shed the heavy coats and trade the bulky sweaters for more revealing clothes. Lighter apparel reveals more skin, so before baring more leg and more arms why not make the most of what you have? To keep skin moisturized and to continue that sexy radiant glow all over, apply Stila Creme Bouquet Body Lotion all over the body. Our professional makeup artist tip; for evening time or any time you want that little extra something, take Stila All Over Shimmer and mix it in with lotion, don’t forget the top of your feet for open toe shoes
