Posted on: October 19th, 2011 by Beauty Schools Directory No Comments

Sure, if you’re looking for scary Halloween makeup, you can go traditional. A little white paint, some red trailing from the lips for a sexy vampire costume. Or go for the gore with zombie makeup, which is huge this year.

If you want our opinion, though, you can tow the line between pretty and scary with Halloween makeup ideas that are off the beaten path. Our favorite: the creepy psycho doll. And no one is rocking it better than Siobhan in her tutorial above.

Not only is the video itself a lot easier to watch than most (bonus for her awesome accent!), but the look is eye-catching and distinctive. Pair it with a twee babydoll dress, ripped stockings and Mary Jane-style shoes for a unique Halloween costume that’s sure to stand out at a party.

It’s time to break out of the box a little? What are your favorite unique Halloween makeup ideas? Or who’s rocking the traditionals looks in brand-new inventive ways?

Easy summer beauty tips

Posted on: July 14th, 2008 by Beauty Schools Directory 1 Comment

As a beauty industry professional, you can get to know your clients pretty well. And when they come back to your chair month after month, they trust your professional opinion.

The best beauty experts keep their clients looking and feeling great long after they’ve left their chairs. Now that summer’s in full effect, with the sun beating down and the humidity at it’s highest, your clients may want some tips on staying pretty in the sweltering heat.

So what kind of advice can you give your clients on summer beauty outside the salon? The kind of advice that’s easy to follow!

Easy summer beauty tips

•By now, your clients should know that it’s important to wear SFP every time they go outside – not just in the blazing sun. A good way to accomplish this is by using a light moisturizer with SPF 30 in it, and a non-greasy SPF lotion in place of their regular morning lotion.
•It’s not just skin that needs protection! A leave-in hair conditioner with a UV filter (like Kiehl’s) will protect hair from sun damage while keeping it smooth and shiny in the wind.
•They can further protect hair from wind and chlorine damage with a shine glaze that coats the hair shaft and binds silkiness to their strands. A glaze like Fredrick Fekkai Salon Glaze Clear Shine Rinse won’t weigh hair down.
•Summer’s the time to toss thick foundation and replace them with light, even-coverage powders and portable make-up sticks. In the hot summer months, most people can get away with SPF moisturizer, a smooth concealer and a dusting of tinted powder.
•For times that they want a bit more color, your clients might want to look into multi-purpose makeup that can be applied with their fingers. A peach color stick can do triple-duty as an eye shadow, blush, and lip color. Top it off with some waterproof mascara and they’re good to go!
