Lily Lolo: New Product Announcement – Natural Eye Liner

It has been confirmed that mineral and natural cosmetics brand Lily Lolo has found the perfect 100% natural eye liner formula.
Having spent several months perfecting the eye liner base, Lily Lolo is now delighted with the finished product and has announced 8th March as the official launch date.
After a product test giveaway, brand follower Vanessa said:
“The pencil texture is really nice, applied easily and looks great. The pencil is soft enough to go on smoothly but not too soft that it smudges off easily.”
The pencils are in fact beautifully soft and smudgy, with great staying power. They’ll glide onto your lids really easily and are great for smudging to achieve the smoky eye look.
Containing both vitamin E and C with antioxidant and protective properties, the eye liners are an absolute must have for your makeup bag at only £7 (trade £3.50), available from www.lilylolo.co.uk.
Available in four shades, black, brown, khaki and blue; the eye liners will officially launch alongside the new look Lily Lolo website in early March but are already available to salons and independent stockists across the UK.
The pencils add to an already highly sought after collection, as products initially designed for a niche market have become mainstream with the increased consumer demand and trend for natural products.

Latest Make-Up Trends From Paris Fashion Week - Jan 2010

The latest Spring/Summer season's Make-Up Trends at Paris Fashion Week has been all about eyes & lips with a 'Pale & Interesting' theme certainly a popular style! At Dior (John Galliano) with Make-Up Artist Pat McGrath it was all very 19th century inspired with big hair, perfect cupid bows & arched brows (Featured Above). All the shows from Givenchy to Chanel seemed to have the same thing in common - porcelain skin with a high matte finish & a rich colour to the eyes & lips. So if these trends are anything to go by, we'll all be tucking our bronzer away this summer!

Check out some more Pics from the Runways this week -

Givenchy - Going for stark gothic eyes matched with blood red lips, the pale base gives a ghostly effect on the runway.




Dior - Pale complexions with bold eyes & lips give the period style to the make-up



Stephane Rolland - Again similar to Givenchy the make-up gives a very intense gothic look on the eyes & lips.



Chanel - A much softer & wearable version of the porcelain look, the eyes are defined & lips perfectly painted to stand out Also nails are painted in metallic silver, definitely a shade to watch out for this year!



Megan Fox attends Paris Fashion Week & takes on the porcelain trend herself is classic Hollywood vintage style!

With the harsh weather set to batter the UK again by the end of the week, get prepared & protect your skin..! As we know cold wind as well as rain & snow can have harmful effects on the skin, such as drying, chapping & dehydrating, so that it looses it's soft supple appearance. Anyway take action with the Body Shop's fab 'Hemp Face Protector', it contains hemp seed oil which contains a high concentration of essential fatty acids that help to repair the skin's barriers to restore the skins moisture & smooth, soft appearance. As well as this it includes Shea Butter & Bees Wax to naturally sooth & protect the skin.

Also some say the moisturising & healing results were better than E45 & what's better is the cream also has a lovely light fragrance making it pleasant to use, as well as light on application without being greasy or sticky while soothing the skin instantly.
Available at The Body Shop - £8.00

Your Questions Answered - How to become a Makeup Artist

Hi Eman,
First off I'd like to say your videos and tutorials are great. I'm 18 and living in Calgary Alberta. All my life I've wanted to become a makeup artist. I'm hoping to go to a school here called Artists Within. I was wondering if you could give me any advice towards becoming a makeup artist? Also, what school did you attend before you became a makeup artist? Any tips or insight would help me greatly...

Thank you for your email. I'm glad you are enjoying my video tutorials!I got into makeup kind of on a whim. I was really into fashion and it then turned to makeup. I started to learn and practice a lot on my own. And then I decided to go to school. I did a one year program and got my makeup artistry certificate.
I did a lot of volunteer (free) work at first to get experience then I started getting paid work. Building your portfolio is the most important thing. Its what represents you and your work. The better your portfolio, the more work you will get.

Here's some advice and tips:
Do makeup as much as you can,be creative - don't be afraid to try new things, read and research about makeup, styles, brands, techniques - never stop learning.
Network, network, network! Meet as many people as you can in the industry. That's how you'll get jobs and build a clientele. Remember that being a makeup artist is a business.

Well I hope this was helpful :) Good luck with everything!
