Naples Makeup Artist Talks on Skin Care: Clarisonic

When it comes to skin care products I have tried EVERYTHING. As a Naples Makeup Artist I get offered samples of tons of products in order to write reviews and tell my clients about certain companies that make the best skin care. Recently I tried the Clarisonic Skin Care System for five days straight. The product claims to clean your skin 6 times better than normal cleansing. The bristles move at 300 times as fast as normal cleansing and have circular motions that cleanse deeply within your pores, removing months of dirt and build up.
Over the Past five days I have noticed a significant difference in the smoothness and texture of my skin. Not only does my skin feel amazingly clean after I use it, but I also notice smoothness and and a beautiful glow. The Clarisonic removes dead skin cells so there is no need to use exfoliating cleansers with it. Simply apply your favorite cleanser on your skin and to the brush, press the button and slowly glide over your skin as if you were washing your face with an electric toothbrush! I recommend this product to anyone that cares about their skin ;)!

Naples Makeup Artist Talks on Face Makeup for Pictures: (Weddings, Prom, Photo shoots, etc.)

There is one specific rule that is applied when it comes to photography of any kind, (unless you are going for a certain type of look) and that is STAY MATTE! I know I have mentioned this before in my prom makeup blog but I want to reiterate some tricks and tips that can make this happen! As a Naples makeup artist I get asked all the time about photography foundation and what is good to use :).

One major tip is to watch what kind of primer you apply to your skin before your foundation. Although MAC foundation primer is excellent, it has bits of glimmer in it to give your skin a nice glow which is NOT what you'd like for picture taking. In some cases shimmer can look like oil on camera.

Use a foundation like Studio Sculpt (MAC) which is specifically designed for pictures, or Cliniques Stay Matte foundation. Make sure eye shadows are also kept matte. Shimmer and frost are beautiful, but for cerain beauty shots are not what you need. Shadow is a bit more flexible however depending on what you're going for.

My last tip is to apply a bit more makeup than usual as the camera dumbs down all makeup! Clown makeup is a bit extreme but a good way to think about your application when taking pictures. If you have any questions feel free to email me! as a Naples Makeup Artist I am constantly asked about makeup and skin care and am happy to respond to help people :).
