Barbara Daly's Tips For Looking Ten Years Younger

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:00:00 -0800

It's official, most of you want to look younger and admittedly, I'm right there with you. I hate the tiny little wrinkles that are already forming around my eyes, and lately, my skin has been lacking that youthful and supple natural glow.

About a month ago, I was given the opportunity to speak with celebrity makeup artist Barbara Daly about some of her secrets to looking younger which include everything from brightening your complexion and toning your skin. Her Make-up By Barbara Daly for Tesco is doing incredibly well, not to mention it's cheap as chips - bellissima!

For Barbara's expert tips and tricks for knocking off a decade, read more.

Mimic the youthful look of bright fresh skin by keeping your foundation light in texture. Heavy foundation will only add to the appearance of wrinkles. Try mixing in a few drops of light-reflecting base for a dewy, delicate effect. Barbara suggests using Make-up by Barbara Daly Soft-Focus light-reflecting base (£5).
Combat thinning lips by creating a fuller looking pout. Emphasise the bow of your upper lips with a touch of highlighter and blend a little shimmering gloss over the centre of your lower lip to reflect light and make your lips look fuller. I like See-Through Lip Glaze in Chiffon or Bashful (£4.75).
To bring back your glow, use a multi-reflective highlighter such as Make-up by Barbara Daly Glow-Up (£6), on the inner and outer corners of the eyes, around the lips and on the cheekbones for a luminous effect.
Always use an eyelash curler for a ‘wide-awake’ effect, followed by a coat of well-combed out mascara. To avoid clogs and make eyes look extra huge, try Make-up by Barbara Daly High-Impact Mascara (£5).

Who's Your Favorite Celebrity Makeup Artist?

BellaSugar — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 06:00:10 -0700

Celebrity makeup artists can command upwards of $10,000 a day for their services. Multiply that by all the days in the year, plus double-duty when it comes time for awards seasons, and you've got yourself one outrageous salary. All of these artists have loyal celebrity clients that request their company across the globe, wherever it is they may be working. Can you guess who some of their famous-faced clients are? I think that Paul Starr is a genius, and I love the natural effect that Nick Barose achieves. Who is your favorite celebrity makeup artist?

Expert Tips for Fresh-Faced Beauty

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 01:00:00 -0700

While it's fun to experiment with trends, what we really want is natural looking, fresh-faced beauty that looks like it's just a result of good genes and plenty of sleep. The no makeup makeup look is ironically one of the trickiest to achieve but luckily help is at hand.

To celebrate the launch of Olay's Complete Care Touch of Foundation (£9.99), celebrity skincare guru Anastasia Achilleos and up-and-coming makeup artist Laurey Simmons talked me through their tips for looking beautifully bare-faced.

For an easy way to look fresh and glowing everyday with minimal effort just read more.

Anastasia says "Cleaning your skin daily is the absolute basic rule of great skin." Make sure to remove your makeup no matter how tired you are before going to sleep.
Do home treatments to keep your complexion looking at it's best. Anastasia recommends filling a sink with warm water and adding a few drops of lavender oil. Soak a face cloth in the water and then squeeze it out before laying it over your entire face. Take deep breaths and place the cloth onto your skin. This will initiate the flow of blood to the surface of the face.
Laurey suggests using a light tinted moisturiser as oppose to a heavy base if you want to look young and fresh. Try Olay Complete Touch of Foundation (£9.99) dotted onto the nose, cheeks and forehead. These are the areas that usually need more coverage so Laurey recommends blending lightly outwards for a natural effect. The fine pigments in the foundation help to even out the skin tone.
Try a cream blush for an effortlessly beautiful look. "Smile in the mirror" says Laurey "and apply a dab of blusher to the apples of the cheeks. Blend outwards towards the corners of your eyes using your fingertips." For a co-ordinated look Laurey suggests applying just a touch of cream blush to the lips for a bee-stung style.

Tribute to a Starr

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 06:00:00 -0700

The death of famed makeup artist, Paul Starr, earlier this week, has saddened and shocked the many top celebrities and models who worked with him.

Paul was so beautiful,” Anjelica Huston tells WWD “When he would do my makeup, I always wondered why he wasn’t the one being photographed. He had the best taste in the world... He was versatile, sweet, funny, a wonderful man and a truly great friend.”

The makeup artist had worked alongside the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Dolce & Gabbana, Helmut Newton and Ellen Von Unwerth. His celebrity clients were said to include Hilary Swank, Rosanna Arquette, Joni Mitchell, Nicole Richie, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner, Jada Pinkett Smith and Anjelica Huston – so it's no surprise that the moving tributes have already started to pour in.

“Paul Starr was my best friend,” says Rosanna Arquette, “He was a beautiful spirit. Passionate, brilliant, so creative and loving, the heart of a spiritual being.... I will miss him every day.”

The cause of Starr's death has yet to be established, but a memorial service will be held for him tomorrow at Smashbox Studios in LA.

No7's Catwalk Collaboration with Osman Yousefzada

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 10:00:00 -0700

I'm getting super excited about London Fashion Week now, especially as one of my favourite brands, No7, is set to sponsor the catwalk show makeup for hip young designer Osman Yousefzada.

Celebrity makeup artist and No7 creative director Lisa Eldridge, is set to rock the catwalk using the latest skincare and make-up products from the collection and I, for one, can't wait to see the results.

Lisa says “It’s really exciting to be working with Osman on the show and I’m sure we’ll come up with something that will compliment the collection perfectly, although I can’t say too much at this stage. One thing I can reveal is that the look will be built on a flawless base, as I will be using the new Protect & Perfect Foundation."

The new must-have foundation is going to be available in Boots from 8th October so get set for a sell-out success after the frenzy caused by the Protect & Perfect Serum, (£16.75 for 30ml).

Watch this space for an insider report on the catwalk show too, as well as backstage beauty tips on how to re-create that flawless look at home.
