Rachael's Total Beauty Makeover

 

By Amy Hollier

I was thrilled to meet Rachael! Like many women she's a mother and busy profesional who has little time for herself in the morning. First thing I wanted to tackle was her brows, and then give her simple yet effective makeup routine. See her makeover below, images and text from Totalbeauty.com

 

The brows

To soften Rachael's look and to match her new hair color, makeup artist Amy Hollier lightens Rachael's eyebrows and shapes them. Eyebrows should always be close to the color of your hairline, says Hollier.

The makeup

The goal of Rachael's makeup look is to even out her skin tone. To accomplish this, Hollier uses a brush to apply a medium-coverage foundation (she used Kevyn Aucoin Beauty Liquid Airbrush Foundation, $45), which helps to "fill in the pores," says Hollier. On top of that, she applies Paul & Joe Beaute Stick Concealer, $24.80 to Rachael's under eye area and on any skin imperfections. Next a touch of apricot blush is brushed on the apples of her cheeks for a warm glow and a translucent powder is applied all over the face to set her

look. For Rachael's eyes, Hollier uses Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Lionfish, $20, a deep bronze color, across Rachael's upper lash line to accentuate her light blue eyes. Hollier finishes Rachael's natural, but polished look by applying a sheer pink gloss like Sephora Ultra-Shine Lip Gloss in Golden Pink, $4.

"I have one word for you all -- EYEBROWS, EYEBROWS, EYEBROWS! -- what a difference a little snip and shape makes, not to mention color," exclaims Rachael.
