Pageant makeup strategy for HD broadcasts

If you've seen the news broadcasts lately, they and most television shows are now seen in HD, the high definition format. Which means that everything and anything shows.

If you are participating in a pageant that will be broadcast in HD or photographed digitally your makeup needs to be flawless.

When I say flawless- I mean blended to a seamless perfection.

Your skin tone color matching of the foundation is what's most important to HD broadcasts.

Even if it takes using two different shades to blend together to the get the right color match, or to contour your face with.

The secret is to blend, blend, blend, and blend some more. Less is more when it comes to foundation product application and using a foundation brush will make the professional difference.

Using a large velvet puff to buff the face with after you've blended the foundation will finish your makeup into a flawless and seamless application.

Remember to cover your ears, neck and chest area.

HD shows everything-especially if you put makeup on your face and not on your other skin that is showing during formal evening wear, swim wear or the talent competitions.

Good luck in the pageant and happy hunting on finding a perfect skin tone match with your foundation. The difference it makes is worth the hunt!

Pageant winning smiles: the Whitestrips way

Pageant winning smiles: the Whitestrips way

There are many things to do to prepare for a pageant and one of the simplest, easiest and multi-tasking things you can do is whiten your smile.

Maybe a visit to the dentist office for a whitening treatment isn't in your budget or schedule, but before bed and for five minutes in the morning, you can whiten your teeth while you do other tasks,

To improve the results of your whitening effort, remember these few steps:
1.Floss regularly. There's no need to whiten old food.
2.Use a whitening toothpaste, or baking soda to aide the process.
3.Apply Crest Whitestrips for one week and watch your smile brighten

The results will be dramatic and the Whitestrips are dentist recommended plus don't harm the enamel of your teeth.

Now for pageant preparation you can brighten your smile while you rehearse the opening number, try on swimsuits, edit your opening statement or research current events to be prepared for the questions.

Please remember your smile because it's one of the first things people notice about you and you never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Saturday: fair, Green Expo, and the link for bodybalm

We are going to the fair today...not the Maricopa county fair, the Mohave county. Things are a little bit different here. So more details on that later.

Quick reminder to set your calendars for the Green Expo on October 5 & 6 at Scottsdale Center for the Arts. This is always a good time. I'll keep you posted as the details come in. It's free to attend and worth the trip because of the learning and free swag.

Finally, the feedback from the Good Morning America and Walmart going green for beauty has been awesome. Thanks so much! I got my info from the local Walmart in Kingman which is the closest store to the ranch. Even then, it's not that close.

Hope you are having a fabulous Saturday and since I am leaving for the fair, if you would like the Super Saturday sale item of Sweet Sugar body balm, just email me your order or use this link for the webpage:

this will show the top left corner as being the body balm...and the other goodies from the Holiday line.
Enjoy!

Super Saturday Sale: Sweet Sugar Body Balm

Sorry, I still haven't figured out how to put a picture in here...plus now that I have linux...the challenge factor went way up.

Though the Super Saturday sale is just a wee way to say thanks for your continued support of Makeup University.

So here's the deal: you order 1 Sweet Sugar body balm...it's a lightweight moisturizer that comes in a round tin with a fat fluffy puff to buff the product onto the skin with.

The puff gives a sheen finish to the skin, and if you use bare fingers it will have a more dewy look.

It's for all over body and has a golden tan color that comes across as "healthy glow". This is not for the face. Trust me , I tried it, and it wasn't pretty.

Call or email me tomorrow, order #2323 Sweet Sugar and it's $25. That includes tax and shipping to the continental U.S.A. I will be including 3 samples from the last two workshops that were sponsored...so be prepared for the swag bag.

It should take about 4-5 days to get to you from the processing date on Monday.

Enjoy, and thanks again for supporting www.makeupuniversity.com
(p.s. in my last photo shoot for the swimsuit calendar, this is what is all over the models)

Bridal Makeup DIY Style: Your Wedding day beauty

Almost every bride has everything she needs in her everyday makeup bag to do her wedding day makeup. As a professional makeup artist, I find that most women, especially those with planning a dream wedding on a tight budget, can do their own makeup without the expense of hiring a professional makeup artist for the day.


Bridal beauty needs a few extra steps and a few specific products to make the difference in digital photos. It's these small professional techniques that make the difference from looking nice to looking amazing.


There is even a chapter for the bride who would rather spend her money on cake! If you don't own any makeup, don't plan on hiring an artist but need to have a wedding day makeup look, this book on cd includes a full face for $20 plus the instructions on what to do!

Inside the book you will learn:

* How to use your products for digital photos
* What foundation to choose, where to apply and how
* Making the most of concealer
* The ordered steps to lasting kiss proof lipstick
* Signature lipstick and why
* What products you need...some photograph better than others, learn which!
* Stains are the secret
* False eyelash myths,uses and which brand is best
* Mascara that doesn't run or flake
* Which tools to use and why...hint...this is the secret to a professional makeup artist look

There is so much information in this simple, easy to follow makeup book that a bride can use on her wedding day, plus incorporate into her everyday beauty routine.

The book format is on cd and convenient for destination weddings, for cruise ship weddings and for the professionally planned events. You can read the book, print the pages you need for reference at your wedding site, then also make a copy of the bridal makeup shopping list for convenience at Sephora!

As a professional artist, I have been making faces for over 12 years and have worked on thousands of faces. Some of my favorite clients are the brides! Thanks for letting me share with you what I have learned along the way.

* p.s. if you do want to hire a professional artist for your wedding day, please visit my website for the free article on " Everything you need to know to hire a makeup artist for your wedding but didn't know to ask"
