Makeup Trend: Two-Tone Makeup

While skimming through various fashion magazines during the many flights I’ve taken this month, I noticed a reoccurring trend among the models in the advertisements and various celebrity photos – Two-Tone Makeup. What exactly is this two-tone makeup you ask? It is simply the usage of two tones (colors/shades) of product in a single area on the face. This contrasting technique accentuates the face and pronounces the features, and not to worry, it can easily transcend from the Runway and be rocked by everyday Fabs like you and me.

EYES:


Use contrasting colors to add drama and make a statement. Try this sexy look for a date night or night out with the girls.

LIPS:


For a more subtle look, select two shades in the same family and apply the darker shade to the periphery, and the lighter, softer of the two in the center.

FACE:



Layering bronzer and blush pronounces the cheekbones while adding definition. Experiment with a broad range of blush colors when creating this look.

Diary of a Product Junky: Entry #2


Long time no see Dolls! I know I know, I’ve been slacking on the posts, but I am back in full effect and so happy to share with you an amazing product that I die for. AMBI EVEN & CLEAR Exfoliating Wash is virtually the most effective cleanser I’ve come across this year, and we all know that I am extremely critical of cleansers. I have been religiously using it twice per day and have noticed a dramatic (positive) change in both the texture and clarity of my face. It is my opinion that it has the capacity to work best on normal skin, however with the seasons changing my oily-skin Dolls can benefit from the consistency of this great product as well. This unique cleanser consists of microbeads that gently exfoliates skin by removing dead skin cells. Also, it is specially formulated with salicylic acid, and a combination of soy extract and Vitamins C & E to help clear skin of pimples and breakouts while keeping skin even toned. With daily use, this creamy exfoliating cleanser rejuvenates skin, leaving it more radiant and smooth. I wholeheartedly recommend this product and give it the “ADJ Approval”.
