How They See Acie: “Natural” Makeup Look 1

Have you seen those YouTube videos  where they show the evolution of makeup in 3 minutes or less? There is also a similar video in which a woman was photoshopped according to the beauty standards of the country she sent her photo to.  Well, it gave me the idea to blog about how various makeup artists see me.  I’m calling it “How They See Me (Acie)”.

This is intended be a fun experiment as to how I am perceived by other artists when I say give me a natural look. I gave them the option of going avant garde if they think this is part of my transformation palette so to speak.

First of this series is done by my makeup artist neighbor friend, Mela Jimenez  I asked her to give me a natural look and this is how she painted me.

Tools and colors she used on me. She applied a combination of traditional and airbrush makeup foundations on me, She used Face2Face cream foundation and airbrushed me with Temptu no 6 to finish it off. It was set by Face2Face translucent powder, I was bronzed on my cheeks and the hollows of my cheeks and temples with her favorite bronzer, the name at the back was already rubbed off. For the eyes, she used NARS Manly blush as the shadow base and shades of brown eyeshadows on the crease and outer v. For drama, she lined my eyes with black gel liner and brown gel liner on the bottom and smudged gently. For my brows it was KPalette in no.2 . For cheeks, she also used Nars Manly blush and for lips she combined a pink and coral lipstick to give it a pinkish beige hue.

I loved my look, Mela said this is how she does a smoky look on brides.  I wore this for 5 hours and it still looked fine.  I love how she effortlessly transformed me without me looking too garish or overly made up.  Give me your comments and let me know what  you think?

5 Makeup Trends for Mid-2015

Can you believe that we’ve already hit the half-year mark? That means half a year into the color of the year, which means that it’s time to see what’s going on in the makeup scene, too. We all know that there are trends flying about here and there, and while not everything is a must-do (because makeup is personal and subjective), there are some essentials that are applicable to just about everyone.

So here’s a mid-year look at what’s trending. Which trend are you riding on, and where do you think looks are headed as we head on into the latter half of 2015?

1. Dark lip lusciousness.

The colors for the latter part of the year favor deep, berry-like tones. Think blackberries, dark cherries, plum shades and wine tones. Check out the recommendations of

 2. Lip gloss love.

High shine and sleek lips are where it’s at — an homage to all things naturelle. Slightly stained lips and a fresh, understated look were made popular during Fashion Week, by brands like Balmain, whose models were un-dolled up in slightly glossed lips and brushed brows.

3. The reverse smokey eye.

To achieve this look, apply eyeliner the area between the bottom lashes and the eye itself. Boom: instant effortless chic.The blending on the lower lash line can “open up”, even widen your eyes.

4. Blushing cheeks and bronzy skin.

Rosy-toned cheeks look healthy and adorable, and this trend was seen all over the runways in Milan last April. This coupled with a bronzy-though-not-sunbaked look hearkens to warmer months, but are complemented by edgy fall fashions.

5. Smudged mascara & floating eyeliner.

Allure magazine reported this as the “most unexpected makeup trend” for the year, which debuted in Milan on the runway. So, if your mascara wand happens to tap your lash line, leaving lines of smudges: just go with it. It looks edgy, imperfect, and effortlessly chic. Eyeliner, on the other hand, is applied above the fold then gently smudged to create a “floating” effect.
