Makeup Mondays With Mario: Photo Friendly Foundation


Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.


Hi!

My wedding is in a month and I'm looking for a foundation base that would look perfect in photos. I know I should avoid products with SPF, but is there any specific product recommendation I could get, Mario? It would be much appreciated!!!

Sara
Hi Sara,

Congradulations! A great foundation to use on your wedding day is Dior's Diorskin Sculpt Line-Smoothing Lifting Makeup. I'm a fan of lifting and line-smoothing products, regardless of age.

I recommend applying this foundation with Sigma's Synthetic Face Kit. The kit comes with three face brushes that can be used with liquid or powder products. Buff the Diorskin Sculpt makeup onto your skin using the flat top Kabuki brush for a flawless looking, high definition effect. Good luck and best wishes on your big day!

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!

Mario

Makeup Mondays With Mario: Flawless Foundation


Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.

Hi Mario,

My questions are about foundation. First, when I’m buying a foundation, how do I make sure that I’m buying the right shade? Second, once I apply my foundation, how do I get the color to stay true? I ask this because sometimes my foundation will turn slightly orange after a few hours. Thanks!

-Lia

Hi Lia,

When chosing a foundation shade, it's important that you consider your skin shade on your face and neck. Test a few shades of foundation across your jawline and slightly onto the neck. Blend with a sponge and whichever shade looks most natural should be the right match.

Getting the color of your base to stay true is easy. Your face oils are what cause the base to turn orange so try to keep your skin matte by using blotting tissues throughout the day. You may also want to start your application using an anti-shine or matte primer, followed by foundation. Finish off by setting it all with a translucent colorless loose powder and voila! Perfection.

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays With Mario!

But there are also some tips for using makeup that adapts to shape your body. Maybe you understand how to look pretty, but there are times when a person felt something incomplete in their appearance. Well you better start now to understand it for the sake of perfect beauty.

Body Height
That woman does not want to have a high body like a model? Looks like the trend of super model's body is a dream for women. But you should be able to integrate forms of proportional body height and weight. Generally women who have high body have a hard facial bones and eye shape is less symmetrical.

Solution Make-up: To get the perfect makeup effects, avoid shading techniques (drawing shadows on your face with powder and foundation). This will only add to the impression of hard on the bone. Use a spreader cheek with a soft wash of vague and to balance the structure of scotch use the eye (eye tape). To avoid visible marks on the eyelids, drag it slightly with eye shadow, pink or white highlights.


Short Body
No need to feel inferior when a woman has a short body. Generally, the body which causes the short form is not very long legs so the body impressed "drowned". Generally women who have short stature and facial structure tend to taper length, smile lines around the mouth is too tight.

Solution Make-up: Face of the taper impress (impress narrow at the bottom) should not be too much wear on the cheek shadow (blush-on) is excessive, particularly bright colors. Choose a memorable soft like Barbie pink or off white.

In the make-up are advised not to wear foundation and powder that is too thick because it will increase the fine line smile (smile lines). You do not want to look old when smiling right?



Body Fat
Do you not need to worry about body fat, which some people can not look beautiful. There are a few tips that can make you look different from the posture of body fat. Typically an obese woman will have a contrasting facial structure, which form large round cheeks combined with small eyelid. For that you must consider a few tricks.

Solution Make-Up: In avoid wearing make-up foundation and powder that is too light from the skin. This fact would suggest you look bigger. Select match the skin color. For Asian people are generally color shades of beige powder, translucent, ivory or off white is often the choice.


Also avoid using eye makeup such as eye shadow is too bright and light and bright colors that are too thick eyebrows. Key makeup is soft where you impressed with the makeup you wear. As a correction to use the technique of shading on the chin, cheeks, and forehead to give the impression of a thin or soft in the face with a powder which one level older than skin color.

A woman will look confident with this appearance. Only the owner of this body shape often complained about the waist and face shape is too wide or big.

Solution Make-up: To make up the best eye brow with Avoid using a box because it will make the face width more impressed. Preferably made slightly arched eyebrow shape and thin. Use the technique of shading between the cheek bones down to the bottom of the chin to give the impression of thin face. So is the use of shadow cheek cheek should also use a lubricant on the bottom of the cheek bone to give the impression that an oval face. So easy right?

Makeup Mondays With Mario: Faking Freckle-Free Skin


Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.
Hi Mario!

So, I'm sure you hear this all the time, but you are a genius! I really like your style and technique, so here is a question for you. I have freckles all over my face and pale-ish skin. I HATE my freckles and even though people may say they are cute, I want CLEAR FRECKLE-FREE SKIN...ha ha (so please don't say freckles are cute LOL). I know I can't make them disappear, but is there any way I can still look pretty with freckles? Or even a cheap way to get rid of them or cover them? I won't hide them all of the time, but it would be nice to have clear, tanned skin. How can I achieve this?

Thanks,
Alice 


Hi Alice,

A great way to conceal freckles is to get a spray tan.  This especially would be good in your case because you also want your skin more tanned.  The color will last for about a week or so and with the tan, you avoid having to use heavy foundations and bronzers.  I don't recommend applying a full coverage foundation to cover freckles.  If you do choose to do so, the foundation shade must be as close to your natural skin color as possible.

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!

xo,
Mario
