Both for my wedding photos and the real thing, I want perfect make-up, and I know the best way to achieve it is to start with a smooth, even palette. Thanks to my trusted skin therapist Michelle Bellaver at the Dermalogica flagship on Montana in Santa Monica, California, my skin care regimen has begun. Her prescription: Facials every four to six weeks and a slew of steps to maintain my skin at home, both day and night. Michelle’s expertise lies not only within her knowledge and great personal touch, but also in the philosophy she embodies. “Skin changes and needs different treatments at different times,” she says. The custom approach works well, especially for me, since I travel for work, spend time at the beach (albeit with a hat on) and deal with my fair share of stress. Now that I had secured my skin care plan, I thought it was a good time for a make-up trial. I’m not an avid make-up wearer—usually a bit of loose mineral powder, a stroke of blush and a coat or two of mascara. The challenge is to find a look that’s photo-worthy, lasts for 12 hours and appears natural. I enlisted The Glitz Girls, Natalie Elkinway and Kristen Deasy. Natalie began my trial by doing my eyes. To keep the look natural yet enhance my green eyes, she used brown, coppers, light shades and, of course, a highlighter at the brow bone. She then applied single lashes in between my own. After the eyes, Natalie used airbrush foundation and then applied blush and lips. The finish was flawless. To test the look I did a mini photo shoot with Kristen and Natalie, which led us to the conclusion that cheeks and lips needed more color to create more pop. Big bridal tip: Be sure to take pictures both inside and outside to see how the make-up shows up on camera. Drape white fabric over your chest to see how the make-up looks against white. . www te alon s 6 119 m • •524 ies.co 887 nolog ch The Easiest Software on the Market Today! • SalonManager has Individual Cash Register Functions for You and Your Chair Renters! • Information Security • Client Info • Scheduling • Inventory • Reports Gellin’ BEST SELLERS What with September’s hot days and crisp nights, a styling product has to have the spirit of mellow compromise.
