Cool Beauty Contest Winners!
Posted by Angelica Chayes on Thu, Jul 16, 2009 @ 10:51 AM
In June, we ran a contest asking our partners to send us their best look featuring makeup from the Cool Beauty Collection. We got many fabulous photos, all of which are posted on our Facebook fan page. We were thrilled by the diversity of the entries, showing how many totally different looks can be achieved with these products; and also how creative people can get with our makeup! It was very difficult to choose, but finally the top three picks were made by Jane and our team of National Makeup Artist/Educators.
First Place went to Camillia Rodio of Vancouver Washington:
To create this dramatic look, Camillia used Absence Primer followed by PurePressed Base in Bisque. On the eyes she used the Azure trio with the aqua hue on the eye lid and underneath rounding the corners of the eyes, and 24-Karat Gold Dust in Aquamarine. Parfait PurePressed Blush flushed the cheeks. For the lips she used Erin PureMoist LipColour topped with Cosmo PureGloss.
Second place went to Larissa Keeney of the Sandpearl Resort & Spa in Clearwater Florida.
To achieve this soft and vibrant look, Larissa primed her model Danielle's face with Absence 2, then applied Liquid Minerals in Coffee, and Amazing Base in Caramel.She finished the face with PureMatte and a spritz of D20. To conceal any imperfections, she applied Disappear in both Medium and Dark. On the Cheeks, Larissa applied PurePressed Blush in Dubonnet. For this incredible eye look, Larissa primed the lids with Canvas Lid Primer, then applied the PurePressed Triple Eye Shadow in Azure. To line the eyes, she used Liquid Eyeliner in Pinot Noir. Finishing touches included Pure Lash Extender&Conditioner and Black Ice Longest Lash Mascara on the eyes, and the brows were groomed with Smokey Grey PurePressed Eye Shadow and Brown/Black Pencil. The lips were prepped with Sugar & Butter, defined with Taupe Lip Definer, colored with PureMoistLip Colour in Julia, and kissed with PureGloss in Just Gloss.
Third place went to Linda Allen of L A Skincare in Greensboro, NC.
Her model (and daughter-in-law) Ginger's luminous look was created starting with Golden Glow Liquid Minerals and Amazing Base applied to the face and neck. Her cheeks are glowing with PurePressed Blush in Whisper and a touch of Bronzer mixed together, then Moonglow on the jaw line. To prep the eyes, Linda started with Canvas Lid Primer on the eyelids. She then applied Azure to the upper lids, and Pinot Noir Liquid Eyeliner to upper eyelid; and finished with two coats of Longest Lash Mascara in Black Ice. The brows were beautifully shaped with Brunette Super Shape Me Eyebrow Kit. Ginger's lips were lined with Nude Lip Definer, Julia PureMoist LipColour and Just Gloss. As a finishing touch, Aquamarine 24-Karat Gold Dust was dusted in the hair and on the décolleté.
