HOW TO LOOK FABULOUS AFTER A LONG NIGHT OUT!

PRODUCT LIST

CWbeauty tips: THE NIGHT BEFORE

Stop tugging and pulling at your skin! Jane Iredale produces convenient “Dot The I on-the-go cotton swabs” - $22 http://www.janeiredale.com that contain makeup remover, leaving no residue behind.

Disguise the fact that you were out all night with this duo “Bright Lights/
Late Nights” from The Socializer - $40 http://www.elizabethgrant.com All it takes is two clicks applied under the eyes, on the night before, the other,the morning after. Follow up with a hydrating moisturizer, maybe even one with probiotics such as Sk1n’s Night Crème - $42.95 http://store.sk1nprobiotics.com

CWbeauty tips: THE MORNING AFTER

Opt for a moisturizer that also contains light-reflecting ingredients that
give your face a clean, dewy complexion, even without makeup. Laura Mercier “Oil-Free Moisturizer"-$45 http://www.lauramercier.com and Stila’s “Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15"-$32 http://www.stilacosmetics.com are great options that offer a hint of shimmer.

Try a tightening foundation. Hourglass’s "Veil Fluid"-$ 60 http://www.hourglasscosmetics.com tightens skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Feeling saggy after a long night? This is the way to go. since your skin is parched, forgo powdering your entire face and just lightly dust loose powder in the T-zone try Color by Cynde Watson “Translucent Finishing Powder-$25 http://shop.cyndewatson.com

Pat a highly pigmented concealer, like “Dark Circle Defense” by Tarte http://www.tartcosmetics.com erases circles and minimizes puffiness. Their honey extract helps reduce inflammation
and aids in tissue healing. Or Dr. Wexler's “Fastcription Instant Airbrush Line Smoothing SuperConcealer” - http://www.bathandbodyworks.com which uses MMPi20, Niacyl and Haloxyl to reduce dark circles.

Disguise with lilac and nude. A light satin lilac or nude eye shadow over the eyelids like FLIRT Cosmetics “Dreamy Eyes- $12 http://www.kohls.com will brighten eyes instantly. Line inside the lower rim with a nude eyeliner like Pixi's “Eyebright Liner” $16 http://www.target.com to cover redness and make the whites look whiter. Put a couple of coats of black mascara try Color by Cynde Watson “Volumizing & Lengthening” Dual Ended Mascara $20 -http://shop.cyndewatson.com and finish with navy mascara like NYX “Doll Eye Mascara-Volume”-$5 http://www.nyxcosmetics.com on top to create the whitening effect.

Finally, a great way to add moisture back to your skin is with a moisturizing
finishing spray. Skindinavia’s “10 Years Younger” 6oz $29 http://www.skindinavia.com will help keep your makeup in place all day, and out of fine lines and wrinkles.

Beauty Expert Cynde Watson Quoted In O Magazine's March 2010 Issue "Should You Apply Concealer Before Or After Foundation?" Page 88

"I prefer to apply concealer after foundation on most of my clients because it helps to identify where the concealer really needs to conceal and I don't have to keep re-applying and cleaning the under eye area through out the makeup application however the truth is you can apply it either way." -Cynde

I would love to hear your feedback. How do you apply concealer before or after foundation?

Dont forget tp pick up your copy of March O Magazine. Also resd pages 172-177 "Clear Your beauty Clutter" We should all do some makeup SPRING CLEANING:)

Cynde's Tips to Determine Your Skin Tone

Color by Cynde Watson™ is a brand for all women. Cynde has made it simple for you to determine your skin tone.
Most skin tone shades are either warm or cool. Your skin tone is determined by your facial coloring or undertone – regardless of your natural hair color, eye color or nationality.

Cynde has taken the guesswork out of determining your skin tone and has selected pencils and pencil kits that are right for you. Just follow these simple guidelines to find which skin tone category suits you best:

Cool Skin Tones

You see pink/rosy/red tones when you look in the mirror.

Jewel-tone colors look the most natural on you such as pink, cherry red, amethyst, cobal, forest green, pearl, deep mahogany brown, pewter and platinum.

You’re fair with pinkish beige skin = COOL / BEIGE

You’re medium with ruddy sand skin = COOL / SAND

You’re dark with rustic-brown skin = COOL / BROWN

Warm Skin Tones

You see yellow/golden tones when you look in the mirror.

Earth-tone colors look the most natural on you such as peach, brick red, plum, camel, olive green, bronze, gold, chocolate brown and cream.

You’re fair with peachy beige skin = WARM / BEIGE

You’re medium/tan with olive sand skin = WARM / SAND

You’re dark with golden brown skin = WARM / BROWN

How will you know if you’ve chosen the CORRECT skin tone category?

Your skin tone will appear healthy and radiant.
Your eyes will appear bright and awake.
The natural highlights in your hair will appear more reflective.
How will you know if you’ve chosen the INCORRECT skin tone category?
Your skin tone will appear unhealthy and dull; skin imperfections will appear more obvious.
Your eyes will appear droopy and tired.
Your teeth can appear slightly discolored.

The above guidelines work for most women. However, some skin tone shades fall in between warm and cool due to sun exposure, self-tanners or coloring of hair.
If this is the case for you, stay as true to your natural undertone as possible when selecting your Cover & Blend Full Cover Pencil (foundation) and your Corrector & Concealer Pencil shades. Then, use a Bronzer or Blush to add warmth and color to your face.

CBS THE EARLY SHOW 11/16/09

2009-11-16T15:45:00.000-08:00

CBS THE EARLY SHOW 11/16/09
Celebrity makeup expert Cynde Watson appeared on "The Early Show" with ways to fake that perfect skin.

"Believe me," Watson said, "these celebs that are gracing magazines and red carpets do not all have perfect skin."

But how can you get the appearance of flawless skin?

Watson shared these four steps:

STEP 1

The first thing Watson said she likes to do is apply a base of foundation before she begins correcting the skin.

"You need a base of something to adhere the corrective makeup to," she said.

Watson pointed out the difference between a corrector and a concealer. She said a corrector is a concealer with a peachy/pink hue.

She said, "The peachy/pink color helps contrast the blue, green, purple or ruddy tones on the skin common in dark circles, hyperpigmentation/pregnancy mask, age spots/sun spots, acne scars and ruddy/red patches on the skin."

STEP 2

Using a small concealer brush apply light strokes then tap a corrector directly on the discolored area of your face to balance out your skin tone and avoid making the blemish appear more obvious, Watson said.

Watson said, first apply corrector in discolored areas then layer your foundation or a concealer in the shade of your foundation over the top of the corrector until desired coverage is achieved.

Step 3

Apply a translucent finishing powder to set makeup. It's important to use a translucent powder because it is invisible and won't change the shade of your makeup. If you set your makeup with your regular face powder, Watson said, the areas that you used corrector will appear darker.

Step 4 To keep your makeup from melting or disappearing during the day, Watson recommended spritzing on a makeup finishing spray.

SAD BREAKING BEAUTY NEWS-Estee Lauder Announced "Prescriptives" Closing

2009-09-19T08:24:00.000-07:00

The end of an era.... Estee Lauder announced yesterday that it will be closing Prescriptives and will cease distribution globally by January 31, 2010.

Why is "Prescriptives" closing? Estee Lauder reports "It just wasn't successful anymore" and that the Estee Lauder companies have been hit hard by the economic crisis, so it seems as though they are trimming the fat.

I hate to see a brand as AMAZING and diverse as Prescriptives go. As everyone knows its very difficult for very fair and very dark women and frankly everyone in between to fine the proper foundation. Prescriptives is one of the very few brands that offer fantastic products to ALL women.

My suggestion for those of you that don't know where to go when you can't get Prescriptives anymore..... "3 Three Custom Color specialist"

Co founders- TRAE BODGE-Creative Director, SCOTT CATTO-Managing Director and CHAD HAYDUC-Training Director

They can produce discontinued shades for the Lips, Cheeks, Eyes & Face or help you create your own from scratch! All formulas remain in their personal files for easy re-ordering.

"NAOMI SIMS" First Black Supermodel, Died Saturday at age 61

2009-08-06T16:42:00.000-07:00

NAOMI SIMS

Widely regarded as the first black supermodel, died Saturday at age 61. Sims' appearance in 1968 on the magazine cover of Ladies Home Journal marked the first such placement for an African-American. Sims went on to grace the covers of Life, Cosmopolitan and Ebony.

Her trailblazing successes are credited with paving the way for others who followed in her footsteps — modern-day fashion icons such as Tyra Banks and Noami Campbell.

Washington Post style writer Robin Givhan is joined by fashion legend Beverly Johnson, the first black model to appear on the cover of Vogue, to discuss Sims' contributions to an industry that did not always embrace people of color. The women also reflect on the vast impact of Naomi Sims success, which some say stretches far beyond the world of fashion.

Naomi was a true icon and will be missed.....

"Shadow Shields"

2009-07-27T09:37:00.000-07:00

Check out another AMAZING and super INNOVATIVE product I just discovered:)

Shadow Shields

Innovative and unique, Shadow Shields are a dependable solution for eliminating messy “raccoon eyes” caused by dreaded eye shadow fallout. Being hailed as “The Red Carpet Secret Beauty Product,” and as “The Best New Find…,” Shadow Shields are giving women everywhere the confidence they need to apply eye makeup, while making the job of a makeup artist a little easier! “This is a great product for real women doing their makeup! Many of my clients struggle with doing a dark, smoky eye and not getting shadow all over the place- this product is great for them!” ~says Lisa, FORD Modeling Agency Makeup Artist, Chicago.
Shadow Shields are disposable, light-weight adhesives that easily attach under the eye to catch falling makeup residue and prevent the need for unnecessary touch-ups! The adhesive on the back of the shield is strong enough to hold it in place so users can keep their hands free, while also being gentle enough for the sensitive skin around the eyes.
“They are great! And a fabulous alternative to the usual powder-under-the-eye trick!” ~says Mally Roncal, celebrity makeup artist.

Benefits• Protects under eye area from eye shadow fallout
• Self Adhesive
• Saves Time
• Eliminates Mess

Helpful Tips

• Remove only top corners to apply. If more adhesion is needed, remove entire top strip.
• Application of shield doesn’t have to be directly on lash line- it can be applied under the bulge of the eye or wherever most comfortable.
• When applying shield, allow backing to crease-it will form a small lip, helping to catch the fallout!

Creator

Michelle Villanueva

Michelle is a makeup artist, mother and creator of makeup’s newest must-have tool, Shadow Shields! She oversees the operations, strategic direction, execution of sales, distribution, marketing and advertising initiatives for the company. This busy ingenue developed Shadow Shields to help save time and mess!
“Whether it was trying to get myself ready with twin boys running around, or making sure that my client was on time, I knew that I had to create something that would help every woman, every makeup artist save that extra 10-15 minutes it was taking to touch up the mess of eyeshadow fallout!,” says Villanueva.
Michelle has worked as a freelance makeup artist in Southern California for over five years, specializing in fashion and corporate photo shoots, as well as bridal and special event makeup. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from California State University, Long Beach.

Tips for cheeks with Cynde Watson

Tips for cheeks with Cynde Watson

• When selecting a blush shade, choose one that matches the natural tone in your cheeks when flush.

• When applying gel or cream blush, smile then on the apples of your cheeks. Simply use three dots of color to start, then build to desired intensity.

• Always keep your blush and lip color shades in the same color family. This doesn’t mean you need to match the colors exactly – just make sure the tones are the same.

• To give the appearance of lifted cheeks, add a shimmer highlighter over your blush or on the height of your cheekbone. Be careful not to overdue shimmer on the skin as you want a healthy-looking glow; not one that looks greasy or oily.

• Bronzers help enhance the skin's radiance to give skin a warm sun-kissed look. Bronzers can also be used to correct skin tone imperfections by using them to help balance uneven skin and as a contour to sculpt the jaw line and nose.

• All women can benefit from adding a little color back into their skin or correcting skin imperfections. I love bronzers because they provide a “quick fix” to help skin look radiant, flawless and healthy.

Cynde's Quoted in August 09' Glamour Magazine

2009-07-14T09:13:00.000-07:00

I'm Quoted in August 09' Glamour Magazine

Q
Michelle Obama always looks so polished-got any scoop on that?

A
She has the best look, says NYC makeup artist Cynde Watson,"since you notice her radiance,not her makeup." Dust cheeks with berry blush, then sweep on a neutral eye shadow(like brown or gray) and a pinky-nude lipstick. As for her gorgeous skin, I hear she uses alpha hydroxy pads to keep it looking fresh. Whatever she's doing, it's working!."

Skintone tips with Cynde Watson

2009-07-09T14:39:00.000-07:00

Skintone tips with Cynde Watson

Most skin tone shades are either warm or cool. Your skin tone is determined by your facial coloring or undertone – regardless of your natural hair color, eye color or nationality.

COOL SKINTONES

You will see pink/rosy/red tones when you look in the mirror.
Jewel-tone colors look the most natural on you such as pink, cherry red, amethyst, cobalt, forest green, pearl, deep mahogany brown, pewter and platinum.

You’re fair with pinkish beige skin = COOL / BEIGE
You’re medium with ruddy sand skin = COOL / SAND
You’re dark with rustic-brown skin = COOL / BROWN

WARM SKINTONES

You will see yellow/golden tones when you look in the mirror.
Earth-tone colors look the most natural on you such as peach, brick red, plum, camel, olive green, bronze, gold, chocolate brown and cream.

You’re fair with peachy beige skin = WARM / BEIGE
You’re medium/tan with olive sand skin = WARM / SAND
You’re dark with golden brown skin = WARM / BROWN

How will you know if you’ve chosen the CORRECT skin tone category?

Your skin tone will appear healthy and radiant.
Your eyes will appear bright and awake.
The natural highlights in your hair will appear more reflective.

How will you know if you’ve chosen the INCORRECT skin tone category?

Your skin tone will appear unhealthy and dull; skin imperfections will appear more obvious.
Your eyes will appear droopy and tired.
Your teeth can appear slightly discolored.

The above guidelines work for most women. However, some skin tone shades fall in between warm and cool due to sun exposure, self-tanners or coloring of hair. If this is the case for you, stay as true to your natural undertone as possible when selecting your foundation shade then, use your Bronze to add warmth and color to your face.
