Hollywood's Secret Tips

 

Perk up dull skin:  Refrigerate a spray bottle filled with mint tea.  When you need a lift spritz the skin.  It's a great toner and a cools the skin and stimulates blood flow.

Go easy on eyes: too much I eye cream is irritating.  Just use to small dots along the bones around the eye sockets.  This way, the moisturizer will not bleed into your eyes and make them water.

Foundation -- the beginning: make sure you only to apply moisturizer, where you're skin needs it, not where it doesn't, this way, when you put on your foundation, and not it will not crease or cake up.

Wear skin safe makeup: if you must hit the sack without watching your face, the least you can do is where mineral powders, a great one to use is Pro Minerals, they provide great coverage and are so good for your skin, you can sleep in them!

Sexy sultry eyes: smoking sultry eyes should look soft, not overdone; it's a balance, I love applying them and I love wearing them myself.

Get glossy nude lips: To create a beautifully beige pout, neutralize the natural pale color of your mouth.  Use your finger to tap a light layer of concealer onto the surface of lips, then apply at light gloss on top.

Go Smokey: smooth shadow base onto lids, and top with it a taupe powder.  Brush brown shadow into the crease and rim lash line in black.

Mascara brush: remember to use the mascara wand has a brush. Brush through your lashes.  This will get them pushed up and made to look fuller and longer. 
Concealer: apply concealer on over your foundation; concealer is heavier than foundation and should sit on top of it.

Loose translucent powder: apply this to the apples of your cheeks before you apply eyeshadow, if any eyeshadow falls on your cheek, you can then just brush the powder off easily, and it won't streak.

Looking younger: as you age, the outside corners of your mouth and eyes darken, lightening them with concealer, it will take years off.

Exotic eyes: sharpen up a black cold pencil, place the tip at the outside of your eye, close your eye and drag the pencil slowly to the inside corner.

Glowing too much: if you find that you or your client’s face sweats too much, apply an anti perspiration to your face, avoid your eyes. (Do not use deodorant).

 

 
Filler Guidelines - by Michael Quick Print
Friday, 08 February 2008
"Fill" Guidelines
I know that there are always questions when it comes to filling hair when doing a tint back. Here are the guidelines to fill the hair to insure beautiful balanced results, no matter what line you use.

1) Determine the desired level for the final result.

2) Choose the fill color that is the undertone at the level that is 2 levels lighter than the desired end result.
For example:
If your final result is to be a Level 5, you would fill using the color that is the undertone of a Level 7. In this case that fill color would be Orange.
Desired Final Level: 7 Fill Color: Yellow
Desired Final Level: 6 ====> Fill Color: Yellow/Orange
Desired Final Level: 5 ====> Fill Color: Orange
Desired Final Level: 4 ====> Fill Color: Red/Orange
Desired Final Level: 3 ====> Fill Color: Red

3) The fill needs to be soft. If filling with a red color, the red needs to be a soft red as opposed to a fire engine, crayola red.

4) Fill always needs to be warm...the more damaged the hair the warmer the fill color needs to be

Remember that pourous/damaged hair no mater how reconditioned will always pull cooler than the shade applied.

Oranges turn more Gold
Warm Golds more Yellow and Neutral
Yellow more Ash
Beiges more Violet
Ash colors more Silver.

If you look at most color charts the colors are arranged in a basic pattern of cool to warm. When applying a specific color to over processed/damaged hair look to the next coolest color to get a general idea of what to expect

Fine to Fab - Haircut Print
Tuesday, 22 January 2008

Before: Model Kathy's hair is baby-fine. She has already attempted to add texture to her hair with red permanent color, but it's not enough.
Stylist Linda Perrette believes that she can take advantage of every natural growth pattern with a texture-releasing cut that allows strands to kick out naturally for the illusion of more hair.
Colorist Katie Ross likes Kathy as a redhead, but believes that she can bulk up the hair even more with a darker, cooler red in the exterior.
 

Step 1:
Begin by creating the back guideline.
 Direct a center occipital section straight out and cut to contour to the head. Continue the line into the nape.
 

Step 2: Using a portion of the cut parting as a guide, pivot out toward each side with diagonal partings. Hold sections between the fingers and cut.

Step 3: Follow the same pivoting procedure in the nape. Follow the contour of the head shape!
 

Step 4: Blend the occipital to the crown by directing lengths straight out and chipping into the ends with the tips of the shears. Work from the center out to each side.

Step 5: Blend top and crown by elevating sections on either side of the main parting and cutting to remove overlap. Work forward on each side of the parting in the same way, using each cut section as a guide to the next.

Step 6: Working on what will be the lightest side of the design, bring diagonal sections forward to be cut with the tips of the shears. Work through the top till the hair no longer reaches.
 
 

Step 8: Style the hair as it will be worn, then texturize throughout. Slide-cut from interior to exterior along the hairline. In the interior, lift and twist small sections. Snip them at midstrand with the tips of the shears.
After:  Fine & Fab! The cooler red is better for her pale skin.
