5 simple steps to perfected!

By, Heather Polyi  Owner/Lead Artist  Glam Spot NJ

I have the perfect way to achieve a flawless, everyday natural look in 5 easy steps.

First, everyone needs a little coverage.  (hide redness and discoloration) 

Natural skin-toned colors work best to provide dimension and glow to your skin.

I loves SK2's Facial Treatment Cream Foundation. 
It covers, treats, and nourishes the skin, while achieving a healthy glow, so natural that ppl will say, "You have the most beautiful skin" 

Now that your skintone is even, add a subtle color to your cheeks and lips with Too Faced Full Bloom Lip and Cheek Colors. (A wonderful 2 for 1)

What it is:A blush that delivers sheer pops of color to both cheeks and lips.
What it does:
This creamy, pigment-rich blush blends effortlessly onto cheeks and lips, flushing them with luminous color. It feels lightweight and fresh, melting into skin for the most radiant and natural flush possible. 
Extra Awesomeness:
It's hydrating and nourishing and promotes a healthy complexion with a bouquet of ingredients including flower extracts, avocado, and vitamins A thru F.

The Khardashian Phenomenon

By Heather Polyi  Owner/Lead Artist  Glam Spot NJ

Kim Khardashian seems to always look flawless in every photo!

How?

Is she human???

I have uncovered evidence, she is in fact... HUMAN!

This is Kim, without makeup!

(P.s you are still beautiful Kim)

However like all of us, with makeup, your natural beauty is enhanced!

Do not get confused, a natural look, isn't even close to looking natural, as in... not made up!

This is Kim in mid contour!

She TWEETED These pics herself, and CoCo Perez shared them on the web!

So, What on earth does she use??????

Kim's look at Nascar, by makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic

(He is an amazing makeup artist)

This is from his official blog...

Follow him, he's amazing, and reveals many of his tips tricks and products!!!!!!!!!! :)

Apply Creme de La Mer all over the skin to moisturize.

Foundation: Smashbox High Definition Healthy FX Foundation in Medium M1

Concealer: Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage in SC-3 under eyes.

Powder: Shiseido Translucent Loose Powder to set the foundation.

Bronzer: MAC bronzer in Refined Golden around the hairline and hollows of cheeks to add warmth and contour.

Highlighter:  Giella's EYE M GLAM highlighter at giella.com. To get the dewy and radiant glow, apply to brow bone and inner corners of eyes and on the bridge of your nose, across cheek bones, cupids bow and on decolletage.

Blush: Josie Maran Blush in Blossom on apples of cheeks.

Eyeshadows: Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Blaze on the eyelid

MAC Eyeshadow in Malt in the crease

EYE M GLAM highlighter on the brow bones.

Eyeliners: Dior liquid style liner in Noir Black on the upper lash line

Max Factor MAX eye liner in Night Club along the inner lash line

Mascara: Lancome Definicils High Definition Mascara in Deep Black

Eyebrows: Benefit Instant Brow Pencil in Medium to Dark

Lipliner: Stila Lip Pencil in Contour 1

Lipstick: Covergirl Continuous Color Lipstick in Golden Apricot

Lipgloss: Guerlain Terracotta Gloss and Shine in Beige Sun

Other options... NARS sheer glow foundation in Barcelona applied with a sponge.

Under eyes, use Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer in Medium Vanilla.

Set the face with Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder in #2 using very little.

Brows are filled in with Brow Sculpting Pencil by Sephora, in Medium. Brush them through with the opposite end of the pencil once filled in.

Eyes – Sweep Josie Maran Eyeshadow in Vintage all over the lid. On the crease and also smoked along the lower lashline, use Cacao Eyeshadow, also by Josie Maran. Line the upper lash line with Sephora's Doe Eyed Felt eyeliner in Black. L’oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black on top and bottom lashes. For some added drama, use the long individual false lashes by Ardell on the outer upper corners.

Warm up and frame the face with Smashbox bronzer in Suntan Matte.

Also brush some on the hollows of the cheeks.

Sweep NYC New York Color Color Wheel in Peach Glow on the apples of the cheeks and a bit across the forehead and chin.

To get that gorgeous, glowing skin, use Giella's EYE M GLAM highlighter.

Brush it on your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose and right on the cupids bow of upper lip. I also used it on her brow bones and inner corner of her eyes.

Line lips with Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil in Heavy (shimmery nude shade). Use Captivating Coral lipstick by Motives and follow with Covergirl Wetslicks gloss in Fig.

Kim has been seen wearing looks by Scott Barnes and many other sought after Make up artists.

Let me just say that this is not a fail safe list...  your color selections require them to match YOUR skin....

And P.S they don't always look AMAZING even on Kim!

She is often over contoured!!!!!!!!!!!!

OFTEN!

It should come with a warning label...  Do Not Try This At Home!

But, if you dare....

Let us know...

"I don't want to look like a Stay at Home MOM"

By: Heather Polyi Owner/Lead Artist Glam Spot NJ

I Don't want to look like a stay at home mom



This entry is dedicated to my good friend that took to Facebook and posted this Cry for HELP:  "I have decided that I no longer want to look like a frumpy stay at home mom...I want to look polished and sophisticated. Who wants to help teach me how to put on makeup and how to do something other then blow out my hair???"

I am the mother of two, and when I am not OUT I am a yoga pant wearing, bun wrapping, no make up girl...   I SWEAR!  This is a FACT all the other moms at School drop off and pick up will attest to!

However, I clean up pretty good! LOL

This is a 5 min. Makeup application!  Not elaborate, just pulled together! 

Trick:

A bold lip, always makes your look more "finished"

This look consists of:

Smashbox Primer Light (under foundation)

SK2 Foundation (such great coverage, no concealer needed)

Beige eyeshadow, with dark brown shadow in the corner.

Black top liner applied thin across the lid and thick in the outer corner

Black liner across the bottom lid as well.

Black Mascara (Panthera for lengthening)

Rimmell by Kate Moss RED LIPSTICK

Peach blush and powder applied to finish everything...

I should have filled in my brows but I only had 5 min. ;)

Similar 5 min application, this time with a bright pink lip (MAC)

Brows filled in this time! :)

Me on the set at Selling NY

Hair Pulled back, but still professional looking.

Same basic 5 min application:  Kicked up to 10 min.

Bronzer, Highlighter and blush blended for a natural polished look.

eyes popped with more definition in the crease, and a highlight below the brow.

Brow filled in.

Eye liner applied thick above and below.

Matte Lipstick in a neutral color(G Spot)

Hope this helps...

More to come...
