The Look of the Week

Merle Norman's Look of the Week!

Nikki Phillip's soft smokey eyes, pale cheeks and bright bold lips looks flawless. This look is hot for the spring and summer. Here's how to achieve this look!

Get her Skin!

To achieve Nikki's smooth and flawless skin, the trick is to use a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. We would recommend for normal skin to use the Brilliant-C line. This skin care line will lighten and brighten your face in no time! Infused with vitamin C and our Bright+ Complex this is great for women who need a little pick me up, or those who have dark spots and discoloring. As for a foundation, our Perfecting Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 25 is the perfect foundation to create a smooth and airbrushed look. To give a healthy glow to skin you could use the liquid shimmer, or use a bronzer and highlighter to create contrast! For blush on the cheeks you want to stay with a nude or neutral blush. Stick to colors that have more brown and tan hues and less pink or red!

Get her Eyes!

The soft smokey look is definitely in this summer! To get this look use shades like Bare for a highlighter and Truffle and Cocoa for the darker pigments. To find out the best placement for the darker and lighter colors for YOUR eye shape, you can come into our studio and let the beauty consultants give you a free lesson! These colors will complement any color eyes and also keep the face a neutral pallet. This is all leading up to the big color pop!

Get her Lips!

To get this bright and bold lip color you want to start with our lip conditioner and exfoliator. This preps the lips and keeps them silky smooth and moisturized. Next you want to line the lips. We suggest using our A Flare to Remember Lip Pencil Plus. Once you line and fill in the lip color feel free to add one of our beautiful lip polishes to keep that shine lasting all day long!

We hope to see you soon!

Behind the Scenes at our Spring Model Photoshoot!

Behind the Scenes look at Saturday's Photo shoot

This past Saturday was one busy filled day!  We had our two beautiful Spring Model winners come in for their makeover and photo shoot with Katy Taylor of Reverie Photography. The girls got here early that morning to get glammed up with hair and makeup.  Our talented hair stylist Jesse worked on Lauren to create soft curls that gave her a fun and playful look for the shoot. Next makeup was applied and the first look that Makeup Artist Sydney, Anna Katherine, and Allie created was a soft and natural look for the girls. By using neutrals like our eye shadow colors in Buff, Champagne, and Shy Violet, the girls looked fabulous and ready to go for a fun day out in this beautiful spring weather.  The next look was vamped up with a brighter lip color.  Lauren got a bright red lip in Hussy to accentuate her gorgeous skin complexion while Hannah got dolled up with our bright pink lip color in Dolled Up. It was now time for an wardrobe change as the girls then vamped up their look yet again for a dramatic look. Sydney went a little heavier on the eye makeup, more blush, and eyeliner to create a sultry look for Lauren. Anna Katherine used one of Spring's hottest colors, navy, to give Hannah a smoky spring time look. We had such a wonderful fun filled day on Saturday and thanks so much again to our beautiful models, who looked absolutely gorgeous. Also a HUGE thanks to Katy Taylor of Reverie Photography and all of her hard work and creating some awesome photos that we can wait to share with you all. Stay posted on our blog to see pictures from the shoot. Also if you are interested in taking part in our next model search stay tuned on our blog and FB to see when the next contest is coming up. 

Until later XOXO
