Weekend Beauty Roundup August 27, 2010

BeautyIt’s that time again! End of the week round up of fabulous beauty around the web!

Charlestongirl of Best Things in Beauty is a lover of all things Bobbi Brown. Last week she was fortunate enough to attend a Bobbi Brown Master Class. She’s sharing the latest beauty tips she learned and see the newest in Bobbi products, too!

Tragedy struck the fashion world this spring with the news of Alexander McQueen’s death. Butter London nail polish pays homage to him with their new shade All Hail McQueen. Gaia from The Non-Blonde shares her thoughts on this honorary shade.

Are you ready for the Emmy’s this weekend? Anne from BeautyXposé is giving us easy to use at-home tips on how to get a gorgeous white smile, just like the ones we’ll see on the Emmy’s red carpet.

Do you want to make your pores and fine lines disappear? We all want that flawless face before applying makeup and Kelly from Gouldylox Reviews shares with us a Jouer product that gives her that flawless look.

We love products that give us a flawless face, but sometimes we need to learn how to use the products to get the look we want. Makeup artist Victoria Stiles will be doing “Flawless Faces Web Series”. See Makeup Artist Backstage to learn about the series.

What are some of the hot color trends this fall? Purple is one of them, and Kari from Fabulous Over Forty shares with us some of her favorite purple beauty products. Could there be a purple in your future?

The economy may be putting us in a grey mood, but Sabrina from The Beauty Look Book shows us all things beautiful in grey. From nail polish to handbags and everything in between, there’s a grey you may fall in love with!

Sadly, there have been times when we’ve all overdone it in the sun. Carla from Product Girl tested a Caudalie product for her sunburn. Did she get the relief she needed?

Hot Makeup News: Announcing Flawless Faces Web Series

As a makeup artist, I have people stop me in my tracks to ask me about products, techniques, and my general opinion about certain brands of makeup.  And there are countless YouTube videos of folks sitting in front of their computer attempting to show the world how to do their own makeup.  Problem is, they’re doing it on their own face.

In an effort to address all makeup concerns, I’m pleased to announce my collaboration with Cover FX, Sigma Makeup, and Cargo Cosmetics to bring you 6 online videos showing you how to do your own makeup!  Flawless Faces for All Races features 6 different models who range in age and ethnicity and with varying skin issues.  In each video, professionally filmed and edited by Portlight Productions, I show you quick and easy makeup techniques to a basic face makeup application, no matter your age or ethnicity.

Today, I had the opportunity to talk about this series on Washington DC’s Let’s Talk Live.  Check out the segment!

Preview some of my before/afters from the series!

Weekend Beauty Roundup – August 20, 2010

iStock_000012937335XSmallBeauty companies are dazzling us with new makeup introductions, effective skin care, fabulous fragrances, and new shades for our nails – all kinds of temptations to spend money to be gorgeous! Check out the must-haves that made us swoon this week.

Chanel can make your heart race. Kari’s pulse quickened when she saw the Inimitable Intense display of new Chanel eye shadows and mascaras. You should visit Fab over Forty before you leave home. A trip to the Chanel counter may be in your future.

Gaia used the term “perfect” to describe Edward Bess Forever Yours Ultra Sleek Lipstick. If you want to see how “perfect” looks, head over to The Non-Blonde. Of the 13 shades available, she was able to limit herself to just four. Such willpower! It’s also noteworthy that she found a jasmine she likes!

Sabrina at The Beauty Look Book is another Edward Bess fan. You’ll want to see her complete review, along with lots of photos, of his Compact Rouge.

Kelly has a new lip addiction. Tom Pecheux is shaking up Estée Lauder. He rocked Kelly with the new Pure Color Gloss. She modeled her lovely shade selections at Gouldylox Reviews.

Charlestongirl is already in the holiday spirit, thanks to Shiseido! The Makeup 2010 Holiday Collection Essential Elegance Palette, created by Dick Page, left her gushing at Best Things in Beauty.

At BeautyXposé, it was all about REN Replenishing Treatment Mists (and darling flats for fall). Find out why Pamela has been obsessed, spritzing with glee.

Let’s not forget our hands! Laurie at Product Girl gave us a peek at Essie’s Fall 2010 collection, nail colors to complement the season’s fashion trends.

While we’re on the subject of hands, Marcia and Lisa featured an interview with Ellen Sirot, a world-famous hand model! If you visit Beauty Info Zone Blog, you’ll find a special discount on Ellen’s Hand Perfection products to keep your hands in tip-top shape.

To end our tour on an upbeat, jazzy note, head over to Makeup Artist Backstage and watch the short video on Washington’s style setters (“housewives” and party crashers aren’t DC’s only claim to fame). Victoria worked to beautify this year’s shoot.

You’ll want to drop in on our beauty blogger friends every day over the next few weeks. The beauty world is hopping!
