Makeup Mondays With Mario: Glossy Eye Makeup


Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.

Dear Mario,

I hope this message finds you well. I know you're super busy so I'll jump right in with my question for you. For years I've seen woman in magazines with a glossy eye makeup and I want to try this look on me but don't even know where to begin. I read once that Vaseline works over a normal shadow and when I tried it on myself it lasted all of about 10 minutes before getting into my eyes and on my lashes. Please help me with a product recommendation or one of your genius techniques so my eyes too can be glossy like the magazine models!

-Lucy

Lucy,

There are several ways to get a glossy effect on your eyelids. I've done this look many times through the years and it's gorgeous when done the right way. I have also experimented with a few techniques and products. The simplest way to get your lids looking glossy is to use an eye gloss. Here's what you do - first apply shadow primer or concealer to the lids and set with loose powder. This will even out the color of your lids and help the eye gloss to last longer by preventing your oils and the actual gloss from mixing together and eventually making a mess on your pretty eyes.

You must try the Jane Iredale Eye Gloss. It comes in a little tube with a wand applicator in several shades. Just apply it directly to your lids and that’s pretty much it! No need to add several products. This eye gloss is great because it's not overly glossy and it doesn't crease or run at all.

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays With Mario!

xo,
Mario

Color-your-lips

Women like to wear lip color, a little lipstick can make a person beautiful. Her makeup is not complete without lip color. You should know the proper way to apply lip color, or not be able to produce the desired effect. You should always use a shade that suits you. Never choose a color just because people go crazy about him.

Tips for longer stays Lip Color

A lip color that stays on your lips is something that everyone dreams. But in fact, we find that the lip color fades when we drink or eat anything. Here are some tips that will ensure that your lipstick on. First you must know that it is better to put your lipstick in the refrigerator. This will make your color last longer. You will notice that your refrigerator has a separate box for cosmetics storage.

Magic with Lip Liner

Use lip color on top and you're ready. If you use a light shade of lip color, then the first coat your lips with a neutral color lip liner.

Durable Gloss

Advice for midlife women

Older women should be careful while lipstick. They should stick to lip color that have a creamy base. They should use natural colors and earth and stay away from shades shiny, matte or structured.

LOOK: Smoky Eyes and Red lips.

I've seen a lot of biased opinions on "Dramatic Eyes with Bold Lips". It's a general rule that one should never do both at the same time. It's clownish, it's too much and just won't work unless if it's for a high fashion look or a creative photo shoot. Well, as a beauty and makeup junkee, I believe people shouldn't limit the possibilities of creating a beautiful makeup look. Just make sure that it suits you and you love it. Heck, who cares what other people say, just be confident and rock it! Here, I did a black smoky eyes and bold red lips at the same time. It's not my go to look whenever I go out but it's something I like to do from time to time. Did I manage to make it work? I think so. ^_^












For the eye makeup, I applied a black gel liner as a base all over the lids (you can use a black eye liner pencil) and topped it off with a black shadow. Then, I used a bronze shadow to blend the edge of the black and create a slight definition on the crease.

Make-up Trend: Red Lipstick

At the 2011 Filmfare Awards, Amrita Puri (who was in Aisha) chose to accent her siren red gown with precise crimson lipstick. The reason the pairing doesn't look too matchy matchy? Amrita kept the makeup on the rest of her face clean, she dusted a muted neutral bronze shadow along her top and bottom lashlines. The shadow added a glint of light and prevented the lipstick from being too severe.

Review/Swatch: NYC Lip Sliders

I got a bit excited when I spotted these NYC Lip Sliders tinted lip balm at my local Dollar Tree for just a buck! I've heard so many great things about them from fellow beauty bloggers, so I wanted to try them out for myself. I've tested it out for about a week and uhh...I don't like it O_o




SHADE, COVERAGE
The shades I got were Sugar Baby (berry red) and Sugar Coated (baby pink).  They may look bright and intimidating in the packaging, but the colors goes on very sheer...no it's actually clear on the lips. It shouldn't even be called tinted because it doesn't give a tint of color on the lips. 

SCENT, TEXTURE, LONGEVITY
This slightly sweet sugar scented lip balm is really sticky and goes on tacky on the lips O_o. The stickiness slightly goes away after awhile but you can still feel it's there. One day at work, I was eating crackers and the crumbs got stuck on my lips...not pretty. Also, because of it's stickiness, it'll last for awhile about 4 hours or so but a little bit will come off if you decide to eat or drink.


PACKAGING, USAGE
I think the packaging is adorable. It comes in a tin container with a slide top that clicks when you open and close. I also like the clear plastic window on the cover allowing you to see the tinted balm inside. To use, you have to use your fingers to get the product and apply it on your lips. I don't mind this but if you're one of those people who doesn't like to stick their fingers in lip balms then this is not for you.

INGREDIENTS
You can find it on the back of the lip balm.

DOES IT MOISTURIZE?
My answer is surprisingly yes! It was able to keep my lips from drying up. I just don't like the sticky feeling of it O_o


Sugar Baby






Sugar Coated








This is how Sugar Baby looks on my lips. It's a deep berry red shade in the packaging but it goes on clear on the lips. Sugar Coated goes clear as well so it wouldn't make sense to swatch it.



FINAL THOUGHTS
Ummm...this is a no-no for me. The packaging is cute and it is moisturizing on my lips, but the sticky texture turns me off. I don't really mind sticky lip balms or glosses but this is too sticky icky lol. On the bright side, it's still cute and looks pretty on my vanity table lol. Would I recommend it to a friend? No!


price: $2.99 or less
availabity: drugstores or discount stores.







Review/Photos: NYX Round lipsticks (Lip Smacking Fun Colors)

If you want to experiment with different lip colors but doesn't want to break the bank, then I highly recommend the NYX Round Lipsticks. It's a standard, but pretty good lipstick with a creamy texture that's available in an array of beautiful colors. They have all the colors you can imagine and for only $3.99 or less you will end up buying a whole bunch and not feel bad about it ^_^



 LONGEVITY, TEXTURE
NYX website promised these are long lasting and smudge proof, but I didn't experience that at all. In fact, these will fade on you in a matter of an hour. To prolong the wear, I apply the lipstick, blot it with tissue and apply another layer. Blotting with tissue gets rid of the excess oil. The texture is very creamy and has a tendency to bleed outside the lip line, so make sure you apply it carefully.


COLORS, FINISH, COVERAGE
They are available in over 140 beautiful shades. They have it from nudes, pinks, reds, browns to purples and even black. If you can't find a color you like then you must be color blind ^_^. The coverage depends on it's finish. A creamy matte is more opaque while satin, lusters and metallics are medium but buildable. Also, it's difficult to distinguish the finish of the lipstick when looking at the swatches on the  NYX website. I pretty much rely on makeup bloggers for real swatches.

INGREDIENTS
Ceresin Wax, Polyethlene Wax, Microcrystalline Wax, *Beeswax, *Lanoline Oil, *Isopropyl Myristate, *Mineral Oils, *Octyl Palmitate, *BHA, Propyl Paraben, *Mica, *Titanium Dioxide, D&C Red No.A1 Lake, Pearl Powder, Iron Oxide
The mineral oils provides a moisturizing benefit.


PRICE, AVAILABILITY
The price tag is unbeatable. You can get these for only $3.99 or less depending on where you get them. I get mine at the Fashion District in Downtown L.A. for a $1. But you can purchase them online such as NYXCherryCultureULTAAmazonMakeupGeek and ebay. Let me know if there are other places where you can get them and I'll add them here. You can also spot them at independent beauty supply stores and salons, so look around your area.




They have sticker labels on the top of the cover. I love it when makeup companies put labels/names in their products. It gives a lipstick it's own character.



I love how you can see the shade on the bottom of the lipstick. It makes my life easier whenever I'm looking for a certain shade I'm in the mood for.



FINAL THOUGHTS
For the price, these lipsticks are awesome! Yes, these are not long lasting, but just layer on the colors and re-apply when you need to ^_^. I recommend this to everyone especially if you're a beginner in makeup and doesn't want to spend too much money on lipsticks. 




What is your favorite nyx round lipstick?

physical but also the psychological aspect of women, most of these changes are for the better. Since the sudden change in hormonal environment raises many problems. Therefore, the care of the body after childbirth is so important.

First, think about numbers. Most go for a walk with your child. Active on foot to save you from extra calories, and the fresh air saturates the blood with oxygen to make you feel happy. Find a couple of minutes each day to shake the press. 3-6 to start the real estate boom, which is gradually increasing the load. The result was not so long. In a few weeks you will notice that the stomach may be the elasticity ex. Jump rope, turn the wheel, not leaning, squat, it's all going to benefit from your figure. Remove the consumption of foods high in calories, fat, fried, smoked. I prefer vegetables, fruits, yogurt. If you are breast-feeding, so this diet will benefit you and your child. In the daily care of the body, do not forget to mention the water treatment. Bathrooms contrast perfectly toned skin, making it more flexible. Several times a week use a body scrub, focusing particularly on the hips, abdomen and hips. Pound problem areas, hard sponge, apply anti-cellulite.

Many women during pregnancy seems pigmented spots on the body and face. Normally after birth, the problem is resolved in a few months. But if you want to get rid of quickly, you will need to mask the bleach fruits like lemon, currants, strawberries, or vegetables such as cucumber. Put the mask on for 15-20 minutes, rinse with water at room temperature. If your skin is dry - use a nourishing cream. And do not forget the liquid, drink at least 1.5 liters a day.

Cosmetics

right cosmetics for every skin type is important to create a fresh and natural to prevent reactions to cosmetics, such as allergies rashes, itching and discharge flares or black and white dots or painful rashes. the skin of each person is unique and different regions in the face of a person may have different characteristics that must be taken into account when selecting suitable cosmetics.

Aesthetic Image

If you were disappointed when your powder eye folds and slides before lunch or your foundation seems doubled the cake, understanding the characteristics of your skin buying cosmetics appropriate for your skin type is a good exercise . Here are some tips to help you look your best.

Avoid drying cosmetic or skin irritation

Each type of skin react differently to different types of cosmetics. Even if a particular brand works of your eye shadow, the brand may not work for lipstick. This is because the type of eyelid skin can be very different from the kind of skin on the lips. When choosing cosmetics, as a base, for example, avoid drying cosmetics and beauty products that cause the skin to exit. Unfortunately, you may need to try several products to determine those who work in your skin regularly. Another issue to consider is that your skin may be a reaction to a particular cosmetic and not irritate the skin, then you may be forced to find an alternative to a brand that has been well demonstrated in the past. characteristics of the skin may significantly change throughout life as well, forcing a change in the type of cosmetics you select.

Consider your skin in the selection of cosmetics

Although the particular type of cosmetics is just right for your skin type, choosing the right color and one that is too light or too dark will be less attractive cosmetics. Choose cosmetics that complement and match your skin tone and minor defects of tone and texture will disappear. Darker foundations, deeper colors for eye shadow and eyeliner would be best suited to them with shades of chocolate or olive skin. At the other extreme, if you have pale skin, choose lighter shades of foundation and eye makeup. Cosmetics should enhance, never overwhelm the skin tones.

Investing in quality makeup

make quality often tends to be painful for the wallet, but it shows in your skin. cheap makeup can cake or a slide on the skin and is not likely to mix. It is more likely to sit on the surface, giving a plastic. Look for good quality cosmetics that are not necessarily expensive. It is better to invest in yourself by purchasing quality makeup that looks very much to know your skin type.

Dry skin

If you run into the skin is dry, do not despair. You should find the type of cream or mousse foundations. If you use the spelling, make sure it is cream based and you have to push the powder compact powder compact. You should avoid loss of power or oil-free formulas, as they try to solve the appearance of wrinkles on your face. Eye Make-up can best silk textured powder or cream eye shadows, and distinctions should be either a glow pencil or untyped. Moisture is the key word of lipsticks and lip gloss. Find a moisturizing lipstick and lip gloss to use ingredients such as aloe or vitamin E, both of which offer more moisture lip.

Sensitive Skin

Look for products that are labeled specifically for use with sensitive skin and avoid perfumes in cosmetics. Allergen is another phrase to search tags. The key is to avoid anything with high levels of artificial colors or preservatives.

Combination Skin

You can choose different products for different skin problems on your face or you can choose products that are created specifically for combination skin. Even the so-called normal skin are often areas that are more or less fat than other regions. Normal skin may be times during the monthly cycle when there is more fat than normal.

Oily Skin

For oily skin, try using an oil primer before applying a type of matte foundation that will not clog your powder pores.Loose has less oil than the powder. Dab the skin regularly throughout the day to eliminate any shine. Avoid creams, eye shadow or mascara and lip pencils creamy style.

Cleans options

Avoid using strong detergents or dry cleaners, and oil and as a very negative reaction to your skin type. Best cleaner skin, regardless of skin type is a water soluble detergent that is gentle on the skin.

Body Basics

body care is essential, as shows its personality. For the whole body, you should exfoliate and moisturize daily. As a home remedy you can try to mix ¼ cup of thick come with starch and milk powder. Apply this mixture all over your body and let stand for 20 minutes. Wash everything with hot water and dry.

For eye care, it is necessary to make an extra effort, because this part of the body is very delicate and sensitive. So, to use saline drops three times a week.

Review/Swatch/Eye Makeup: Physicians Formula Baked Collection wet/dry eyeshadows in Baked Sugar

Here is a quick review of my Physicians Formula Baked Collection wet/dry eye shadow in Baked Sugar. I got it at my local CVS Pharmacy during their makeup clearance sale for 75% off. It wasn't exactly the palette I was lemming on, but it was the only one on sale so I went ahead and purchased it. It was only $2.09 so why the heck not!




SHADE, TEXTURE, FINISH
Baked Sugar consist of 3 colors, a champagne pink, white and a champagne taupe, all pigmented with shimmery/frosty finish wet or dry. When used dry, the texture is soft and applies smoothly on the eye lids. When used wet, it applies a bit streaky so make sure you pat and swipe with a brush to deposit the color better.

LONGEVITY, INTENSITY
The shadows last a long time wet or dry especially with a good primer underneath. When used wet, the color of the shadows intensifies, giving it a metallic finish except for the darker shade in the palette that is supposed to be the contour shade (champagne taupe). It's too shimmery and wasn't dark enough to be a contour color and doesn't add any definition to the eyes at all. A good eye shadow palette should have at least one matte contour shade and this palette doesn't so booo!

USAGE:
Now as promised in the packaging, this palette is supposed to help you create a beautiful eye makeup using only the 3 colors to highlight, contour and line the eyes. It even has an eye diagram at the back of the packaging showing where to place the colors. It's really a neat idea and definitely helpful but I found a problem with the palette. The colors are very pretty on it's own but when used all together in one eye makeup? Forget about it! Your eyes are going to look like a shiny disco ball. Remember, they have a frosty finish and frosty shadows creates no definition on the eyes at all. It can also look washed out in photographs because the shimmers reflects the flash of the camera. You'll see it in the makeup I did using this palette (phots below)

TIP:
Don't use the shadows in the palette all together. Mix in a shadow with a matte finish, meaning no shimmer or shine to create balance. Also, you can use the shadows individually to highlight your face to bring in light and give it a dewy look. Apply it on the top of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose and on the tip of the lips.

















Swatches





These were swatched dry. I didn't bother taking a photo of the swatch wet because there wasn't a huge difference.




FINAL THOUGHTS:
This is not a bad palett just promise me not to use it all together to create an eye makeup. The shadows are too shimmery and frosty and doesn't compliment any eyes. Like what I said, mix in a matte shadow preferably a matte contour shade to create definition and balance to the look. 

availabity: CVS

EYE MAKEUP using BAKED SUGAR


Do you see what I mean? It's nothing but frost and you can't even see the colors...not good!






Do you own any Physicians Formula Baked Collection palettes? If so, which one do you have?
