Makeup Trends from Kellie


Not your Grandma’s Make Up, or is it?
Make Up is a large part of a woman’s life, especially those of us who work in the beauty industry. Trends come and go and often leave us with piles of unused make up. For this reason, I thought I’d talk about styles that are classified more as “timeless” than “trend.”
Look around at our stylists, estheticians, nail techs and massage therapists and you may find similarities. In each department, someone is rocking a revamped retro style, and with very good reason. Retro is HUGE! It isn’t just us here at the Beauty Bar who have noted and sported this trend, either. Runway models, Hollywood, and TV Programs have noticed and created their own revamped Retro looks. There are three decades, in particular, which are redefining themselves currently: 1940‘s, 1960‘s and the 1980‘s. Which one do you think is right for you? This week’s focus: 1940’s
Women of the ‘40’s often emphasized their eyes and lips and kept the rest simple. “Pin Up” best describes this look. You can make Pin Up as simple or as extravagant as you like. Whether you desire Classic Beauty or Hot Mama you will need the following in your make up kit:
***Light Pink Eyeshadow similar to bareMinerals’ “Light Pink Whisper” which has a shimmer or “Light Powder Pink” for a matte option
***Brown Eyeshadow to contour like bareMinerals’ matte “Light Brown Beige” or shimmery “Light Taupe Beige.”
***For a more dramatic Pin Up, try bareMinerals’ “Azure” eyeshadow. This vibrant, shimmery turquoise will compliment any eye color.

***Bright Pink cheek color
***Liquid Eye Liner in Jet Black
***Mascara in Jet Black like Sara’s Beauty Bar HD Mascara
***Bright Red Lipstick like Sara’s Beauty Bar lipstick in “Red Carpet”
Tutorial for Traditional Pin Up:
Step One: Apply foundation and concealer (if needed)
Step Two: Apply pink eyeshadow color and brown contouring color to lid
Step Three: Eye Liner. This is where you can really start to play around and branch out from classic cat eye, to dramatic. You decide which look you want to rock out.
Step Four: Limitless Lashes! A thick coating of mascara or falsies will really help amplify your eyes.
Step Five: Cheek color, applied to the apple of the cheek
Step Six: Red, red lips.
Helpful tips from your friendly neighborhood make up artist:
Pull your eyelid taut to make eyeliner application crisper and flawless
Red lipstick is renowned for feathering or spreading into the surrounding skin. Ways to prevent this are: nude lip liner on entire lip area. We recommend nude because as your lip color wears off, a nude liner will prevent you from having dark outlines and no color. Also, applying a thin layer of powder on the lip area prevents feathering.
If your red isn’t the shade you desire, you can adjust it with a red lip liner. Apply the liner over the entire lip area and dab a little more lip color over the top.
Avoid adding lip gloss to red lipstick, as this will increase chances of feathering.
Simple ways to add more drama to your look include adding a small amount of a vibrant eyeshadow to the lid, only. If you go this route, it isn’t necessary to contour your eye.
Add a thin line of a metallic liner or shimmery shadow to the outside cat sweep or inner, lower corner on your eye.
