New Makeup Campaign: Bobbi Brown’s Pretty Powerful

Posted on: January 21st, 2010 by Beauty Schools Directory 1 Comment

On January 12th, famed makeup artist Bobbi Brown launched her newest campaign, “Pretty Powerful.” A quote from Bobbi Brown’s website talks about the inspiration behind the campaign, “This season I was inspired to ask my friends – not models – to be the faces for my new campaign. They’re pretty to begin with, but with just a few simple tweaks, they look their absolute, most confident best. That’s pretty powerful.”

Brown’s “Pretty Powerful” campaign stays in line with her philosophy of “be who you are beauty,” which means highlighting your best features, not hiding your flaws. She is also holding a “Pretty Powerful Video Contest” starting this week. You can share your “strongest” makeup look and your favorite beauty a tips – a huge opportunity for makeup school students! The prize? Three of the video contestants will be selected to win a trip to New York to get a personal makeup lesson from the Bobbi Brown! This is a big deal, as any makeup artist in training knows.

Shortcuts to Becoming a Stylist to the Stars

If styling hair was a sport, then working on celebrities’ hair would have to be the Super Bowl or World Series event for trained cosmetologists. There’s nothing like being pulled from the minors to perform in the Big Leagues! So, how does one get to that star status?

Well, all of your questions can be answered through a new book: Shortcuts, by Diana Schmidtke. She maps out her successes as a celebrity hairstylist in her new book for the recent and not-so-recent graduates of beauty schools.

Schmidtke’s book isn’t just a laundry list of to-do’s for a get-rich-quick scheme, or just about the adventure of moving to Hollywood. It also covers the field of Special FX artistry and answers industry questions, such as the difference between union and non-union stylists. There’s even a quiz section to help you determine if your passion lies more with fashion and music or television and film!

Can you map out your dream job after cosmetology school just through a book? Probably not. But if you have questions about breaking into such a narrow niche in hair, makeup or fashion – then this book can help.

How to do smokey blue eyes

Posted on: January 22nd, 2008 by Beauty Schools Directory No Comments

Are you a shining blonde goddess with a need for smoky eyes? We have the secret!

You can also see this tutorial as a video or find a make up school.

Ashley Before

It doesn’t take black eye liner to get that smoky look when you have blue eyes. You can create it without using colors that are too dark. Ashley is our subject for this demonstration.

Base eye make-up

To begin, we’ll start with a primer on her lids. This creates a smoother, longer-lasting, and crease-proof eye shadow application.Base eye make-up

The base color is essential. We don’t want to go too dark yet. We’re applying a silver blue shadow to Ashley as our base color.

Now, let’s go green for a cooler, neutral shadow. In this case, we will use a blue-green in the crease.

Pretty dramatic, right? Already, her eyes are beginning to smolder. Now let’s apply a bit of dark blue in the crease as well.

Applying eye shadow

When doing this at home, apply makeup in layers and you won’t get it too dark. That way, you don’t have to worry about taking anything off. We also suggest that you blend the colors on the lid.

Now, let’s line Ashley’s top lid with black and the bottom lid with dark blue. It doesn’t take much to accentuate what we’ve already done.

Mascara

Finally, we will apply black mascara to the upper and lower lashes. We will finish up by filling in Ashley’s eyebrows with a brownish-blonde brow shadow.

The end result are perfect smokey blue eyes. Isn’t she gorgeous? She’s ready for a night on the town!
