Makeup Wars: The Best Waterproof Makeup

May 13, 2013 By Carleenp 12 Comments

This week, Makeup Wars looks at the best waterproof makeup. I don’t wear a lot of waterproof items, but I do have a few favorites that I particularly like to get out for hot and humid weather. Sweating off your makeup is no fun, so these items are great for avoiding that!

Here are my two favorites for eyes:

(1) Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes: Aqua Eyes are the ultimate in waterproof eyeliner. These liners come in a ton of shades, are soft and easy to apply, and then they stay put. I have swam with these on before and the color didn’t budge. However, they remove just fine with a good eye makeup remover such as Lancome Bifacial, or you can remove them super easy with an oil cleanser such as DHC Deep Cleansing Oil.

(2) Diorshow Waterproof mascara: Diorshow is one of my favorite mascaras and the waterproof version stay put and looks great. This is a cult classic mascara for reason!

Here is a new item that I really want to try!

(3) Tarte Aqualillies Eye and Cheek Palette: This new Tarte Aqualillies palette has been getting good reviews and claims to be waterproof. The color selection is also great for summer. I fully intend to order this and give it a try!

Get the Look: Charlize Theron Oscars Hair

February 24, 2013 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

Celebrity Stylist Enzo Angileri did the hair for Charlize Theron at the 85th Academy Awards using Well Professionals products.

The inspiration came mainly from Theron’s short hair, which, as Enzo explained, is grown out to a length that can be styled into a sophisticated, yet androgynous look that nicely complements her Dior gown.

Here is how he got the look:
1.      After washing and conditioning, Enzo applied Wella Professionals Natural Volume Styling Mousse to wet hair to direct hair into place.
2.      He then blow dried the hair with a diffuser until fully dry and in place.
3.      Enzo raked the hair down with a brush following the part and shape of Theron’s head, leaving volume at the top.
4.      He next used Wella Professionals Shape Shift Molding Gum to mold the hair and create a texturized look and feel.
5.      Finally, he finished with a light mist of Wella Professionals Shimmer Delight Shine Spray to give Theron’s hair luminosity on the red carpet.

I think it is a lovely look.
