NYC Makeup Show May 2011

I had the pleasure of attending The Makeup Show 2011 in NYC with a few of my girlfriends.  We went down on Sunday and returned on Monday evening!  It was exciting to see all the different lines represented in one building!  I loved the atmosphere and energy of the place and everyone there!

We had a great time!  I am looking forward to the next one! 

Part 2 Consider the tone and texture of your skin

All foundations will have color undertones which are usually pink or yellow. The most natural looking foundations have a yellow base because most skin has a yellow undertone.  If you are extremely fair or have cool undertones you may need to have a pink undertone in your foundation. 

The best way to really tell if a foundation matches your skin is to try it on... Professional makeup artists call this ‘stripping’ the jaw line.  Please, please…NEVER test the color on your arm, wrist or hand as these areas of your body are a different shade!  Your artist should choose three shades for you.  The right shade will appear almost invisible on your skin.  It is never a good idea to go lighter or darker than your natural skin tone, but to try to match the color as closely as possible to your skin tone.  Sometimes you might need to mix two colors together to get the perfect match.
