Q&A: Lip-Stick the Landing - BeautyOfASite

Q&A: Lip-Stick the Landing

October 26, 2016


How do I make lip color really last?



Layering your color is the key to making it last, especially if you alternate a dry layer with a creamy one. So start by lining and filling in your lips completely with lip pencil, then apply a thick coat of lipstick, blot, and reapply another light coat of color.

To make a glossy formula stay on your lips, you need to give it a matte surface to which it can adhere. Start with either a coat of matte lipstick or a layer of lip pencil before applying your gloss.

 Your lipstick color will last if you apply one coat, blot by pressing your lips together on a tissue and then apply another coat. This won't leave lips feeling dry the way powdering your lips between coats can.

Q&A: Flaunt Your Right Red Shade - BeautyOfASite

Q&A: Flaunt Your Right Red Shade

September 26, 2016


How do I choose a good red lipstick that works with my complexion?



Whether it was faked on or baked on, your summer tan took work. Don't blow that glow - flaunt it with the right red. This season's new crop of reds are sheerer and more wearable than ever before. Here's a basic way to choose the right shade for you.

Reds really come in two tones, warm reds and cool reds. If you have medium skin choose warm orange-red lipsticks like crimson. They tend to warm up lighter skin. If you have olive or dark skin look for blue-red lipsticks. Those with a purple-pink or fuchsia effect. These shades are especially dramatic and will set off darker complexions beautifully. And remember - anyone can wear red, just give it a try!

Celebrity Spotlight Olympics Edition: The U.S. Gymnastics Team - BeautyOfASite

Celebrity Spotlight Olympics Edition: The U.S. Gymnastics Team

August 17, 2016

Cue the John Williams fanfare. We are now on day 12 of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio and it has been an exiting one, especially where women's gymnastics is concerned. The self-dubbed "Final Five" have been dazzling at the games, winning gold in the team final, gold and silver in all-around (respectively to Simone Biles and Aly Raisman), and have had the one of the most dominating runs for an American team ever. We couldn't pick just one person to spotlight this time around, so enjoy our beauty tips inspired by the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team. Go USA!

A photo posted by Alexandra Raisman (@alyraisman) on Aug 11, 2016 at 6:25pm PDT

 

Beauty Bio: Aly Raisman

 Birthday: May 25, 1994, born in Needham, Massachusetts

Stats: One of the two returning members of the 2012 London “Fierce Five,” Aly is a two-time team captain of the Olympic Women’s Gymnastics team. She is the oldest member of the squad at 22, and finished Rio with 1 gold medal and 2 silvers.

Best Events: Aly is a powerhouse on many events (say hello to her silver all-around medal), but her floor routine is truly something to watch. Her first tumbling pass in the routine seems to go on forever, but, in true Aly form, always manages to stay inbounds.

Get Her Look:

Aly Raisman almost always has this great top knot when in competition that holds and holds. The key to a good top knot that stays is using the right products. We recommend a good smoothing product to keep fly-aways in check or a good gel so it doesn't budge.

We recommend: Tigi S Factor Smoothing Lusterizer, It's a 10 Miracle Firm Hold Gel

 


 

A photo posted by Simone Biles (@simonebiles) on Jul 25, 2016 at 8:54am PDT

 

Beauty Bio: Simone Biles

Birthday: March 14, 1997, born in Columbus, Ohio but her hometown is Spring, TX

Stats: Simon is officially the most decorated American gymnast ever (she even has a move named after her, the”Biles”), with a crushing run in Rio earning her 4 gold medals and 1 bronze medal.

Best Events: How about everything? Simone is definitely poised as the best gymnast in the game right now on nearly any event, but she especially shines in Vault and Floor Exercise (two of her 4 golds).

Get Her Look:

Simone Bile always has great personality on the floor, but we've noticed something else has got her sparkling. Simone's glitter shadow and crystals around her eyes have become iconic to her Olympic look that you can emulate with a sparkly shadow or go crazy with eye crystals.

We recommend: DuWop Crush Eye Shadow Trios, Tigi High Density Eyeshadow Split Shades (Feisty)

 


 

A photo posted by Gabby Douglas (@gabbycvdouglas) on Jun 18, 2015 at 8:32am PDT

 

Beauty Bio: Gabby Douglas

Birthday: December 31, 1995, born in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Stats: Gabby first appeared in the Olympic spotlight in 2012 as part of the “Fierce Five” and was the first African American ever to win the women’s individual all-around. She’s had an admirable run in Rio as well, earning a gold medal as part of the team final.  

Best Events: As a former individual all-around gold medalist Gabby is also pretty well-rounded, but she really soars in Uneven Bars (fun fact she got her nicknamed "Flying Squirrel" from this event).

 

Get Her Look:

Gabby generally keeps her make-up pretty minimal, but we've been noticing some bold lip choices by her this time around. We especially liked the deep brown-mulberry shade she wore during the team final.

We recommend: Tigi Decadent Lipstick (Power), Duwop Cosmetics Private Lipstick

 


 

A photo posted by Laurie Hernandez (@lauriehernandez_) on Aug 15, 2016 at 5:29pm PDT

 

Beauty Bio: Laurie Hernandez

Birthday: June 9, 2000, born in New Brunswick, New Jersey but her hometown is Old Bridge

Stats: Laurie is the youngest member of the “Final Five” at 16, and this is her first Olympic competition. She’s done well for being a newcomer to the Olympic scene, leaving the games with 1 gold medal and 1 silver.

Best Events: She got a silver medal in this event, so it’s safe to say Laurie Hernandez is pretty great on the balance beam. Her floor routine is also a delight to watch because it reflects her fun-loving energy.

 

Get Her Look: 


Laurie Hernandez's beam routine isn't the only thing that's on point. Laurie is the queen of the cat eye, always seeming to have that perfect crisp black line while nailing back flips on a 4-inch beam. Keep on keeping on Laurie.

We recommend: Tigi Precision Black Eyeliner Pen, Tigi Perfect Eyeliner (Black)

Beauty Bio: Madison Kocian

Birthday: June 15, 1997, born in Dallas, Texas

Stats: Madison has been a key member of the U.S. National Team for the past 2 years, and proved invaluable still at the Rio Olympics earning 1 gold medal and 1 silver.  

Best Events: “Effortless”, “elegant”, and “free-floating” are all words used to describe Madison’s beautiful work on the uneven bars that ultimately got her to the Olympics and it earned her a silver too.

 Get Her Look:

While Madison floats on uneven bars, her hair stays perfectly in place. While Madison may have perfectly straight hair for her pony, some of use might need a little styling help, with straightening shampoos, styling products, or both. 

We recommend: Tigi Bed Head Styleshots Extreme Straight Conditioner, Tigi Catwalk Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Spray

Get the Look

Jennifer Lopez has been a beauty icon since the late 90s/2000s, and wow does she look the same. JLo just celebrated her 47th birthday over last weekend (while still piloting her mega-successful show in Vegas), setting some ridiculous beauty standards for rest of because, come on! That aside, what we’ve been loving about Jennifer’s summer style is it just exudes brightness! Just take a look at her Instagram, JLo's current favorite thing is a styled bun, tropic bright lipstick, and fabulous sheaths for the streets or suits for the beach. Check out one of her looks below for our style breakdown!

Hair: 


In this Insta Jennifer's sporting an effortless chic low bun with whispy bangs, great for getting hair out of the way in the summer heat! Jennifer's also a big fan of a slicked back high bun. What can really ruin these looks is frizzy hair (it's what summer does best!). The key to a clean looking bun is finishing of the style with anti-frizz serums or argan oil products.

We recommend: Blowpro Weather Girl Pure Anti-Frizz Serum, Alto Bella Argan Seed Oil Style Elixir, It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product

Skin: 


Want skin that looks ageless like Jennifer Lopez? Investing in good anti-aging creams may seem like a chore, but it's worth the pay off. Look for something that is dermatologist tested for best results, and has deep moisturizing properties.

We recommend: Dermastage Anti-Wrinkle Cream, Dermelect Skin Solutions Trio, Refinee Age Recovery Cream

Make-up:

Jennifer Lopez has been rocking pin-up gone tropical style, featuring bright lips paired with her signature shades. Colors like sherbert oranges, terracotta reds, and electric corals pump up the volume in vibrancy without reading neon. If you choose to do a bold and bright lip, make sure to keep it relatively natural for the rest of your make-up so the lips remain the focal point. 

We recommend: Tigi Decadent Lipstick, Duwop Cosmetics Private Lipstick

How-tology: Fixing Make-Up Misshaps - BeautyOfASite

How-tology: Fixing Make-Up Misshaps

June 24, 2016

The road to achieving that crisp cat-eye or that perfectly bold lip is not always pretty. We're human, mistakes happen and sometimes your need a redo. We have got you covered with these four easy tips to recovering makeup mishaps in a pinch!

 

 A splotch of mascara falls off the wand onto your newly made-up face.

Dab the end of a Q-tip into some foundation. Making sure not to drag the skin, pat the tip onto the stain with a light, twisting motion. Repeat if necessary, using the other end. Dust over the area with translucent powder. 

 

You've sneezed before your mascara is dry! Now you look like a raccoon.

Follow the same procedure as above but this time you'll need to re-apply your eye shadow over the newly applied foundation. Be careful not to apply too much or else it will 'cake'.

 

 

Smudged lip liner/lipstick.

If the smudge is really obvious, you'll need to use a cleanser or makeup remover to erase the damage. For precision, use a Q-tip rather than a cotton ball - and above all avoid rubbing! Re-apply foundation to the area in question, dust with powder, then re-apply lipstick. 

 

 

Your eye shadow has become all creased and caked.

Remove the thick lines of shadow with a Q-tip. Dust eyelid with translucent powder before re-applying your shadow. To avoid this in future, apply small dots of foundation on the entire eye area and dust with translucent powder before applying eye color. Lids tend to cake and crease when the skin is too moist or oily.

    Hot Spring Fashion: How-to Get Hot Orange Lips Like Agyness Deyn

    February 19, 2009

    Agyness Deyn Orange Lips

    Knock their socks off and rock out like Agyness Deyn! Brights are making a comeback this spring - are you ready to give it a try? Why not take a stab at wearing some orange-y lipsticks? Lip products labeled with descriptors like coral, peach, or papaya are usually a good indicator that they are orange/yellow based colors.

    Wondering if you can pull it off? Try using a pink-orange lip liner first – we recommend DuWop Cosmetics Venom Lip STYXX in Match STYXX. Then apply your orange lipstick to only the center of your lips. Finally, apply a pink lip gloss across both the top and bottom lips for a uniquely fresh and temptingly kissable pout!

    Looking for the right color combo? Check out DuWop Cosmetics Private Lipstick in Private Coral with Naked Princess Naked Shine Lip Gloss in Barely Pink (or Barely Coral to go all out orange!). For all our lip color offerings click here!
