Start by exfoliating your skin with </span><a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/LLSCSP?parentCategoryKey=skincare&subCategoryKey=facemasks&category=Face%20Masks" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Skin Polish </a><span style="font-family: inherit;">to brighten your complexion.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Massage </span><a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/LLSCMD?parentCategoryKey=skincare&subCategoryKey=faceoils&category=Face%20Oils" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Dew Date</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> hydrating skin oil all over the face and neck to stimulate the circulation and boost cell renewal. Use a jade roller to really push the product further into the pores.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>3. Apply a sheer coat of foundation with a brush all over the face and neck. I love the <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/LLLUXBR?parentCategoryKey=tools&subCategoryKey=brushesandsets&category=Brushes%20%26%20Sets" target="_blank">Classified fan brus</a>h for the best coverage.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Skip the powder as you want the skin to look fresh and dewey.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. Fill in the brows with <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/LLBG?parentCategoryKey=makeup&subCategoryKey=brows&category=Brows" target="_blank">Strike Rich brow gel </a>and brushupwards to open the eyes. I love the Limelife by Alcone brow gel as it adds color and fills in the missing or thinning hairs with fibers.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/LLELCURL?parentCategoryKey=tools&category=Accessories" target="_blank">Curl your lashes</a> to open up your eyes even further.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>7. Apply concealer under the eyes to cover any dark circles and brighten the eyes. I love <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/AAHWCM?parentCategoryKey=makeup&subCategoryKey=complexion&category=Complexion" target="_blank">concealer #01 </a>by Limelife on the eyelids to take away and redness on the lids.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>8. Tightline the upper, inner eye line with <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/LLXPEL?parentCategoryKey=makeup&subCategoryKey=eyes&category=Eyes" target="_blank">Enduring eyeliner </a>black eyeliner to give the illusion of thicker eyelashes. This is waterproof, smudge-proof and lasts all day without running or smearing. It’s the best eyeliner I’ve ever used!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>9. Sweep a light dusting of sparkling Sweet Dreams <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/AAHESM?parentCategoryKey=makeup&subCategoryKey=eyes&category=Eyes" target="_blank">eyeshadow </a>all over the eye...one of my faves that looks great on everyone & is paraben free! It makes a great highlighter, too!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>10. Next, you want to give your cheeks a pop of pink right on the apples. Make sure to buff it into your skin to look like a natural flush. I love POP <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/AAHPBM?parentCategoryKey=makeup&subCategoryKey=complexion&category=Complexion" target="_blank">blush</a> by Limelife- it’s the brightest pure pink out there- it’s packed with color so a little goes a long way!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>11. Using that same blush, apply that shade to the crease of your eyes and blend it up and out to open up your eyes.</div><div><br /></div><div>12. Apply two coats of Perfect <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/AAHPMM?parentCategoryKey=makeup&subCategoryKey=eyes&category=Eyes" target="_blank">Mascara</a> in black to your upper lashes and one coat to your lower lashes for that doe-eyed look. I love this formula because it’s thickening and lengthening and is the only mascara that doesn’t smear on me.For some extra glam, add a few individual lashes by Ardell at the outer corners.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>13. No Soft Girl should ever have dry cakey lips! So start by gently exfoliating the dry skin from your lips with <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/LLLIPSCRUB" target="_blank">Lip scrub</a> and top with Pink Grapefruit nourishing <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/LLLIPBALM?parentCategoryKey=makeup&subCategoryKey=lips&category=Lips" target="_blank">lip balm.</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>14. And to finally bring your whole Soft Girl Makeup look together, you must use a <b>pink</b> lipgloss! I love Hope <a href="https://www.limelifebyalcone.com/pattybellmakeup/product/AAHLG?parentCategoryKey=makeup&subCategoryKey=lips&category=Lips" target="_blank">Lipgloss</a> for a soft pretty look, beautiful shine and that extra little bling we all need!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>That’s it beauty queens! </div><div>Have fun trying this look, modify it a bit to fit your style if you want- post your finished pics when you do!</div>Patty Bell Makeuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10182187692391982002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134976590443116528.post-73090237226792838502015-07-18T09:14:00.001-04:002015-07-25T19:58:40.655-04:00To cover up or show tattoos on wedding day less of a dilemma<a href="http://trib.me/1Grq60l">To cover up or show tattoos on wedding day less of a dilemma</a><br />
<br />
Read on to hear of one of my favorite products for covering tattoos, bruises, scars and birthmarks- <a href="http://www.ppipremiereproducts.com/products/skin-illustrator-flesh-tone-palette">Premiere Products</a>,<b> Skin Illustrator</b>. It's an alcohol activated makeup that can last for a few days. I've used it on many brides, commercial sets and the movies I've worked on.<br />
<br />
It's a staple in my kit and a must have for every aspiring makeup artist.<br />

<h3>
"My makeup does not last!"</h3>
That may be my number one problem that I hear from many of my clients.<br />
<br />
Here are some tried and true products that I've used on my films as well as my bridal clients that really work well and hold up under hot lights, underwater and all night long.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Having great skin preparation is a <i>must</i> to keep your makeup <i>and</i> your foundation looking fresh all day and night.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
Start with a face <b>primer</b> like <a href="http://www.makeupforever.com/us/en-us/make-up/face/primer/hd-primer">Make Up For Ever</a> to make your foundation goes on smoothly, and to fill in the fine lines. I cannot do makeup without a primer…they are <i>that</i> important for beautiful skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwmN95cs87QIandMnYsKHjCiX-G0dAHR0eYJH0kVX0m2EWRYN4cSUnNISy0whB9ATfMPPbkZamO1jYi0r4i8QiVBTxXUwCEhu-yO4Hm15SBnJlQShTUXtHU8U523w1JEarq-2n_cqvu38/s1600/hd_primer_20800.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwmN95cs87QIandMnYsKHjCiX-G0dAHR0eYJH0kVX0m2EWRYN4cSUnNISy0whB9ATfMPPbkZamO1jYi0r4i8QiVBTxXUwCEhu-yO4Hm15SBnJlQShTUXtHU8U523w1JEarq-2n_cqvu38/s1600/hd_primer_20800.png" height="200" width="199" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #222222;">Next, I like to apply<b> foundation</b> with a dampened makeup sponge called the </span><a href="http://www.beautyblender.net/sponge.html" style="color: #222222;">Beauty Blender</a><span style="color: #222222;">. The </span><span style="color: magenta;">pink</span><span style="color: #222222;"> egg shaped sponge gives a natural, airbrushed look to the skin.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidpevVHvgJ_HAaa5kodAetQzk7yt8bRjGHlDojD9mPS3UJEK9oXMnQZ6WcP8zvhnB8bBAwjBc4l4gEsFnKdZS3UZkM5Vp0tFTvIpyFzJYlKCS41Js93EMIfJ6E_vBZWZVNI6QdyZFjQ_U/s1600/14142202880901815711763.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidpevVHvgJ_HAaa5kodAetQzk7yt8bRjGHlDojD9mPS3UJEK9oXMnQZ6WcP8zvhnB8bBAwjBc4l4gEsFnKdZS3UZkM5Vp0tFTvIpyFzJYlKCS41Js93EMIfJ6E_vBZWZVNI6QdyZFjQ_U/s1600/14142202880901815711763.jpeg" height="200" width="132" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
After the foundation is applied, gently dust the skin with a translucent powder to set the makeup AND with the same pink sponge, <i>gently</i> go over all the face with a patting motion, pressing the sponge into the skin to set the makeup.</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
Eye makeup stays best by starting with an <b>eyeshadow base</b> <i>before</i> applying any shadows.</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
I like <a href="https://www.toofaced.com/p/eye-shadow-primers/shadow-insurance/">Two Faced</a> eye primer to lock in my shadows.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzP1oWcUdapjuS0kNIy8nGEtfsTbhAokEGeNCcVgmBtyBdpQWdqYck9MD-H5tuAZ-7l-usSzskyaKLX03JsoZzTdO_7XVaTu68-VDMoFjZinpWmkuFgDXnJMIsdU0hATaqookXDkbUnao/s1600/g_20036.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzP1oWcUdapjuS0kNIy8nGEtfsTbhAokEGeNCcVgmBtyBdpQWdqYck9MD-H5tuAZ-7l-usSzskyaKLX03JsoZzTdO_7XVaTu68-VDMoFjZinpWmkuFgDXnJMIsdU0hATaqookXDkbUnao/s1600/g_20036.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
To keep your <b>eyeshadow</b> on all day, I highly recommend waterproof cream eye shadows.<a href="http://www.makeupforever.com/us/en-us/make-up/eyes/eye-shadow/aqua-cream?sku=4861"> Make Up For Ever's warm beige is</a> a great color that I like to use as a base shade. You can then add additional colors to contour and highlight over this, if you'd like.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNls5SjZdcTWgZ4zi4Gj-MK5Zk7QGybI4YCgbpBBZCO7uBxaOdCDwd71mCiaQa7YHBAIZZJ6l2N0twuhwh1A7_XhNki4xCDKvDVw-3KBxzFRCua-LQwahzTxQga71I-HFrYMuXWxq9ldo/s1600/aquacream_28702.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNls5SjZdcTWgZ4zi4Gj-MK5Zk7QGybI4YCgbpBBZCO7uBxaOdCDwd71mCiaQa7YHBAIZZJ6l2N0twuhwh1A7_XhNki4xCDKvDVw-3KBxzFRCua-LQwahzTxQga71I-HFrYMuXWxq9ldo/s1600/aquacream_28702.png" /></a></div>
I always use a water proof <b>mascara </b>to avoid any smudges throughout the day and I am a huge fan of <a href="http://www.makeupforever.com/us/en-us/make-up/eyes/mascara/aqua-smoky-extravagant?sku=6687">Make Up For Ever's</a> black mascara.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The only type of <b>eyeliners</b> found in my makeup kit are waterproof liners.</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
My favorites are <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/24-7-glide-on-eye-pencil/122.html#start=2&cgid=1_500">Urban Decay 24/7</a> and <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/151/476/Powerpoint-Eye-Pencil/index.tmpl">MAC Power Point</a> eyeliners.They are guaranteed to stay put until you take them off- and as an extra added sealer, I go over the liners with a gel liner to set them.</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<a href="http://www.narscosmetics.com/USA/makeup-eyes-eyeshadow/0607845081418.html#start=1">NARS </a>eye paint is my latest go-to gel liner.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<b>Blush</b> stays best when you layer a cream blush under a powder blush.</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
I love the<a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-shop-cheeks?gclid=CjwKEAiAi52mBRDkq5bX0vq1-RQSJAAq_7IGC2PtLRpAdbjSMU_msf6v-R-9Pf61IkMm5QyY5LGweBoC1Z_w_wcB#"> Tarte </a>Amazonian 12 hour clay blushes the best for staying power.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiowLt9M1qs2UACGzxXNChXMdEiUitSr5WKVkY2IPjfUdb1osaP6rqmT7fFvpqVZQS8vW8GL2a-OWlqBVn4x_Is9m-s7dyEOPEDGWmYj2DlK7G2NWY0wxJ24wprPYqvJn6Exwos62MHrk/s1600/1202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiowLt9M1qs2UACGzxXNChXMdEiUitSr5WKVkY2IPjfUdb1osaP6rqmT7fFvpqVZQS8vW8GL2a-OWlqBVn4x_Is9m-s7dyEOPEDGWmYj2DlK7G2NWY0wxJ24wprPYqvJn6Exwos62MHrk/s1600/1202.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
For <b>lips</b>, the best bet is to start with waterproof <b>lip liners</b>. I like <a href="http://www.prestigecosmetics.com/lips/lipliner/waterprooflipliner/lw-10.html">Prestige</a> and <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/24-7-glide-on-lip-pencil-by-urban-decay/379.html#start=3&cgid=2_508">Urban Decay</a>. I typically use one shade to outline and another to fill in the lip color and take a pointed q-tip to blend them together and finish the look with a matte lip color for the longest lasting color or a lip stain.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NjbHD3NQir-LkXdXi8gBm36ZTqqT0mLpH0NJDfIG9oS9gE-UJhBxnPVooc5fnVoa9MvDHuDUFYlcnFwzdlHse82r4Zz__JO5F9gEwi0W5krILk0zz0iMn3dbduVM4kwHaS0krA-twK8/s1600/604214467200_247lip_naked2_alt2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NjbHD3NQir-LkXdXi8gBm36ZTqqT0mLpH0NJDfIG9oS9gE-UJhBxnPVooc5fnVoa9MvDHuDUFYlcnFwzdlHse82r4Zz__JO5F9gEwi0W5krILk0zz0iMn3dbduVM4kwHaS0krA-twK8/s1600/604214467200_247lip_naked2_alt2.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
And finally…when the entire face is done- I give a light spray of <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/all-nighter-long-lasting-makeup-setting-spray-by-urban-decay/356.html#start=3&cgid=4_500">Urban Decay</a>'s All Nighter makeup setting mist to seal the deal!<br />

It seems that every commercial and film I am on these days, the directors are always wanting the "<em>no makeup</em>" look.<br />

What they fail to understand sometimes, is that the "<em>no makeup</em>" look, can take as much time as a<em> normal</em> makeup application.<br />

Here are some tips to achieve that look, especially when you don't have a lot of time.<br />

Start with a clean, clear complexion and prep the skin with a good <strong>primer</strong> that will smooth out the fine lines, moisturize and create a flawless looking complexion.</div>

I love <a href="http://heiratelier.com/" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204) !important;">Heir Atelier </a>created by Los Angeles celebrity makeup artist, Kendra Richards, it creates a beautiful glow to the skin and it never leaves it feeling oily.</div>

Even "no makeup looks" need a little help evening out the skin tones and my new obsession are <strong>BB creams</strong>. Skip the heavy foundations and brighten your skin with a healthy dose of sheer color. These are especially nice in the winter months as they add extra moisture to the skin.<br />

Curling your eyelashes is one way to really open up your eyes, if you don't want to wear eye makeup. I love the iconic <a href="http://www.shuuemura-usa.com/product/EYELASH-CURLER,default,pd.html" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204) !important;">Shu Uemura</a> eyelash curler as it gently curls the lashes instead of crimping them…and who doesn't need a 24 kt gold eyelash curler?!</div>

<br />
If you're not a fan of mascara, you can have your eyelashes professionally tinted in the beauty salon. It's an all natural vegetable dye and is safe for the eyes. The results are so natural and it lasts about a month. A lot of brides do this before their honeymoon and I've even known many men who have done this and it looks great!</div>
<div style="background-image: none !important; border: none; box-shadow: none !important; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif !important; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px !important; text-align: justify;">
The natural look requires a nice, healthy flush to the cheeks and lips. I love time saving dual products like <a href="https://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/benetint" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204) !important;">Benetint</a>'s rose cheek and lip tint. It's a sheer berry fluid that tints the lips and cheeks.</div>

It works great alone or under lip sticks. I tend to use it a lot on television shows, especially those kissing scenes where the lip color needs to last and last, take after take:)</div>

</div>
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With the bitter cold, winter weather upon us, now is the time to pamper your skin and winterize your makeup.</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><strong><br /></strong>
</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Start by increasing your water intake to nourish and hydrate your skin from the inside out. I love pure, natural, fluoride-free spring water and purchase <b>Fiji </b>water for the added silica and minerals which are so beneficial for the skin and hair.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img alt="de9c781a21e5403949c5234c6eda4b43a543d1d9" src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/08276bfb38566f7ecefd4b4fa348d2245ba73cab.jpeg" height="200" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 108px;" width="95" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><strong>All good makeup, starts with beautiful, clean skin and a fresh palette</strong>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Exfoliation is the <i>key</i> to a smoother, softer complexion and a must this time of year. I like to use more organic products on my skin and have found the best, <i>most gentle</i>, skin scrub is <b>baking soda</b>. I keep it in the shower and mix a small paste with water and gently massage it into my skin to remove the dead skin cells. Your skin will glow afterward! And while your at it, you can brush your teeth with it, and rub it through your hair to remove excess hairspray buildup.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Another naturally, "</span><span style="background-color: white;"><i>g</i><i>reen</i></span><span style="background-color: white;">" moisturizing product is </span><strong style="background-color: white;">Barlean's organic coconut oil</strong><span style="background-color: white;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I use it as a cleanser, eye makeup remover, night cream and even as a hair moisturizer at night. It's the best multi-purpose organic product on the market today, and the one product I can't live without! It's the best tasting coconut oil out there and my dogs love it, too!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img alt="1f8c97ff0cb2b3ca65ffe508ca14c73637f22c6c" src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/1c25d3c84e0d5e2e9d42064677752314e88facb1_600.jpg" height="200" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 183px;" width="200" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />For daytime moisturizing, I love <strong>Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre</strong>. It's one of the best day creams I have ever used and a big celebrity favorite.<br />It has natural ingredients such as: shea butter, aloe vera, beeswax and soy to nourish the skin, and acts as a makeup primer as well. I mix a drop of this with my foundation for a lighter base to create my own tinted moisturizer during the winter months. <i>(Skip the heavy foundation, as they tend to clog the pores)</i>. This product does <em>not </em>contain a SPF, so don't forget your sunscreen...even during the winter.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img alt="0432f15404c60b6a6cfb8b7a99de607eb3a6a0dc" src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/2bb8ca3b462d3bd03a736fa5e13db2d36c112253.jpeg" height="200" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 237px;" width="200" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Most face powders will only make the skin look a little drier, and the same holds true for powder blushes.<br />Cream blushes are a great alternative for the most natural looking glowing cheeks. I love <strong>Stila</strong>'s convertible color that can also double as a lip color, too...just a dab on the apples of the cheeks, brightens the whole face.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img alt="7f3f894fcf72084b2ef33698494e2b3ca343f69e" src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/ed0299d8673d371472f304aff4dd71f651ae5c5e.jpeg" height="200" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 188px;" width="200" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Lips tend to be the driest this time of year, so start by gently exfoliating them with a soft tooth brush and some organic coconut oil to remove dead skin. Skip the matte lipsticks as they will only dry the lips even more.<br />Stick with sheer lip balms such as <strong>Fresh</strong> sugars Rose lip color or <strong>Nivea</strong>'s cherry lip balm that really help soothe those dry,chapped lips.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img alt="d192729cd1dab55751e5eb874995b153dc119da8" src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/5a0bbfde3a41f2edb3f4a329e0a5c391957f4786.jpeg" height="200" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 199px;" width="199" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Waterproof mascara and eyeliners are a must during the cold weather as eyes tend to be a little drier and water more with the winter winds. I am a huge fan of <strong>Make Up For Ever</strong>'s gel liners and waterproof mascara. It takes a little more effort to remove it, but in the end, it's worth it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's to a warm and beautiful winter ahead!</span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
Metallic makeup can be so much fun when worn correctly! It looks best at night, weddings, proms or any event where you need to shine. The key is to not overdue it. Choose one feature to highlight with metallic makeup, whether it's your eyes or lips. I love the glittery eyeliners from <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/eyes/eyeliner">Urban Decay</a> and the sparkly lip glosses from MAC and Chanel.<br />
<br />

I am always in awe of female entrepreneurs, and these girls are taking the Pittsburgh PR market by storm with their young, and fresh approach to the advertising and PR world. They have a blog, on line magazine, print magazine, and a very successful PR business…I guess the sky's the limit for these 20 something girls, and I just love their name!<br />
<br />
I take great pride in working with my bridal clients and being a part of their very special day.<br />
I've shared many laughs and tears of joy with my brides over the years and every one of the weddings that I have worked, on has left me with many wonderful memories, and even some repeat business from family members, and for that, I am very thankful.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Could it finally be that spring has officially arrived here on the east coast?!</span></span></h4>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">It's been a long, cold winter and it's so good to see the sun again!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">With the arrival of spring, it is the perfect time to lighten up your makeup and ditch those dark and dreary colors from the fall and winter.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Everywhere I look, I see <b>lilac</b>…and nothing says spring better than the beautiful, fragrant lilac bush. The smell is intoxicating and so is the color, and its everywhere this season. It's on the runway, the nails, face and even the hair.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #674ea7;">Purple shadows work well on most women. I recommend using it in the crease to brighten up the eyes.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay eyeshadows and love <a href="https://www.urbandecay.com/urban-decay/eye-makeup/asphyxia/38860.html">Asphyxia</a>. It's great either wet or dry and it's creamy texture stays put all day.</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">To complement the purple shadow, try a purple liner. It's a nice change from the standard brown liner and really makes the white of the eyes pop! I love Urban Decay's 24/7 pencils for their excellent staying power.</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Why not try your hand at purple mascara from <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/yves-saint-laurent-volume-effet-faux-cils-baby-doll-mascara/3519169?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=0&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_1_B">YSL</a>- it's a nice daytime alternative to black mascara, and it's just fun!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">One of my best finds for spring is MAC's Full of Joy blush. It's so light and fresh and works well with the purple palettes of spring. Apply it just on the apples of the cheeks for the most modern look in makeup.</span></span><br />

Happy 2014!</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The new year is the perfect time to revamp your beauty routine, simplify your old makeup routine and start fresh.</div>
<div>
It's time to give your makeup, and yourself...a <u><b>makeover</b></u>!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Begin by organizing your current makeup collection, take inventory of what you have, what you need and what no longer serves you. Toss any products that are old or broken. Discard any rancid smelling lipsticks, foundation that has separated, and dried up mascara.<br />
<div>
</div>
Find the products that you know will work best for you and stick with them to save you time and money in the future. This is my favorite way to <a href="http://sherrieblossom.com/gallery/images">organize</a> my makeup stash.<br />
<br />

Get a makeup lesson from a professional makeup artist who will tell you what colors work best for you. Bring your current makeup that you use along with you and learn the latest tips and techniques to make you look your very best this year. Sometimes it's just the tiniest improvements that make the biggest difference in your appearance & makeup is one of the best, and most inexpensive ways to upgrade your look. Take pictures, ask questions...this is your time to learn the correct way to apply your makeup that is best suited for you.</div>

<div>
Now is the time to ditch the heavy foundation and powder that can tend to be very aging, and try the new <a href="http://shop.miracleskintransformer.com/products/Miracle-Skin-Transformer-SPF20-Face.html">BB</a> or CC creams for a lighter than air, perfect flawless looking, complexion. Today's new foundations are some of the best formulas I've ever seen. They often combine: a foundation, sunscreen, primer and moisturizer all in one, and a little goes a long way.<br />

Matte lip colors and pencils are all the rage right now. The formulas are moister and longer lasting and not quite as drying as the matte lip colors from the 1980's. Try a fun berry, plum or purple shade to compliment the rich jewel tones of your winter wardrobe.<br />
<br />

Today's lip colors are actually good for you, some even good enough to eat, like the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/luminous-creme-lipstick-P283903?skuId=1321363&icid2=Bite_LP_Bestsellers_Carousel_P283903_image">BITE</a> brand. Their lipsticks contain <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/in-depth/red-wine/ART-20048281">Resveratrol</a>, which is equivalent to 5 glasses of wine...my kinda lipstick:)<br />

<div>
Maybe it's time to visit your hairdresser and add a few highlights, (or lowlights), to your hair to lift your spirits during the cold winter months.</div>
If you've never had bangs before, give it a try- they are a fun way to update your hairstyle, give you a younger look, and a great way to hide any lines on the forehead!</div>
<div>
Even curling your hair a different way, can completely change your look. If you've always curled your hair with a regular curling iron, try a larger barreled iron for a fuller, looser curl. Don't brush it out when your done, just run your fingers through it to create a gentle wave and spray it lightly with a brushable hairspray like<a href="http://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/products/hair/hair-styling/hair-spray/elnett-satin-hairspray-strong-hold.aspx"> Elnett</a> used by every top hairstylist in the world. I like the unscented spray the best.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07n2Eb0VrROg8J-1NJkWKXSj5Yzm40BZZmUGxCcisqyazIO51RX22LdAbGnIhYvZf9LI3kIDUX889H3OeKAC0wOpiwncUd6C84IKWTnLGWYHwu12TwHJzaHDUOKYT9nM21VeEsxg-iqY/s1600/Sty3_4_pack-shot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07n2Eb0VrROg8J-1NJkWKXSj5Yzm40BZZmUGxCcisqyazIO51RX22LdAbGnIhYvZf9LI3kIDUX889H3OeKAC0wOpiwncUd6C84IKWTnLGWYHwu12TwHJzaHDUOKYT9nM21VeEsxg-iqY/s200/Sty3_4_pack-shot.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also love the new clip-less <a href="http://www.sephora.com/the-bombshell-1-inch-P268003?skuId=1271790">curling rods</a>- it gives a nice beachy wave to the hair and instantly updates your look. You just simply wrap the hair around the wand, and loosely pick the curls apart with your fingers...it's a beautiful look.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another life saver for me on my shoots has been the<a href="http://www.halocouture.com/"> Halo</a> hair pieces.</div>
<div>
It's a great investment for women that would like to add a little length or thickness to their hair. It is quick and easy to use, just place the halo on your head and pull your own hair over top of the hair extension. It is practically invisible to detect and worn by so many celebrities and news anchors...and the best thing of all, it can be washed, dried, colored and curled and does not damage your existing hair like hair extensions or clip in extensions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And my final beauty tip to brighten to begin the new year as healthy as can be is to visit the dentist and take care of that smile and whiten those teeth. Nothing ages a woman more than stained, yellow teeth.</div>
I believe a beautiful smile is one of our best assets and one of the cheapest "facelifts" we can do for ourselves, and the perfect accessory to show off that new lip color!<br />
<br />
Here's to a more beautiful you this year!<br />
Cheers!<br />
Patty<br />

<br />
Patty Bell of Green Tree began her career as a young model and then got her start as a makeup artist thanks to her neighbor, Judy McKenzie, who was a Ralph Lauren Cosmetics representative.<br />
<br />
Bell began working in a department store where she was “discovered” and then hired for a commercial by director<a href="http://www.przyborski.com/company.html#"> Glenn Przyborski</a>.<br />
<br />
This led to state licensing as an esthetician and training to be a certified airbrush makeup artist.<br />
<br />
A member of Pittsburgh's Makeup Artist Association, the New York Hair and Makeup Union, Pittsburgh Professional Women, and Pittsburgh Women in Film and Media, she also devotes time to the American Cancer Society's “Look Good, Feel Better” program.<br />
<br />
She has worked on photo shoots for national companies that are based in Pittsburgh, such as American Eagle, Rue 21, Modcloth and Dick's Sporting Goods. She also does makeup for appearances by sports teams such as those recently involved with the Stanley Cup playoffs, CBS Sports, Monday Night Football, ESPN and the Pittsburgh Steelers.<br />
<br />
She is most proud of working on a life-changing TV show called “<a href="http://youtu.be/ZZSgVb-eQx8">Makeover Pittsburgh</a>.”<br />
<br />
She has traveled to Nova Scotia to work on a large ad campaign with Sidney Crosby.<br />
<br />
She has met President Barack Obama. She has worked on CNN with Vice President Joe Biden who, when she told him that her mother was a big fan, picked up the telephone and actually called her mother, thanking her for her support.<br />
<br />
She was one of the makeup artists for the films “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Perks of Being a Wallflower.”<br />
<br />
Other celebrities she has worked with include Joan Rivers, Drew Carey, Ted Nugent, Amy Adams, Samuel L. Jackson, Joe Namath and Mario Lemieux.<br />
<br />
“My favorite thing is to teach women how to look their very best,” Bell said.<br />
<br />
Although most of her work is on location, she has now opened a studio in Green Tree and offers bridal consultations and private makeup lessons.<br />
<br />

I admit it, I can't go into a drugstore without stopping by the makeup aisle...the lure of all of the fun, new colors for spring always pulls me in. </h3>
I love makeup, and everything about it. I love the way it transforms women, and makes them feel good, even if it's only buying a lip gloss. Makeup doesn't <i>always</i> have to be the high end designer stuff to make you look good.<br />
<br />
Many of the top drugstore lines are very comparable to their department store brands and many are owned by the same parent company, employing some of the top cosmetic chemists in the world, making their formulas very similar. So go ahead and shop in your local drugstore, you will find some incredible products at a very affordable price...and who doesn't love a bargain!<br />
<br />
As a professional makeup artist, I go through mascara like <i>crazy</i>!<br />
<br />
One of my favorites is <b>Maybelline'</b>s <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=72945&catid=183541&aid=338666&aparam=goobase_filler&device=c&network=g&matchtype=">Lash Discovery</a> mascara in black. I was turned on to this mascara by actress Helen Mirren. This was her mascara of choice on the film, The Clearing.<br />
I was fascinated by the tiny brush. It enables you to get so close to the root of your eyelash, making it a very nice lengthening and separating mascara.<br />

Always on the search for that perfect, "<i>your-lips-but-better"</i> color, I found a drugstore brand I absolutely love and it looks great on everyone, <b>Maybelline's, </b> <a href="http://www.maybelline.com/Products/Lip-Makeup/Lip-Color/Color-Whisper-by-Color-Sensational.aspx#shadedetails">Color Whisper lip color in Made-it Mauve.</a> The natural looking lip color glides on like gel and feels so good on your lips.<br />

Many top industry makeup artists that I work with swear by <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/revlon-colorstay-for-combooily-skin-makeup-with-spf-6-sand-beige-180/qxp149233?catid=183551"><b>Revlon</b> Colorstay foundation</a>. I personally use the whipped formula for a lighter, airbrushed look and get so many compliments on my skin every time wear it. The formula really does last all day whether it's a wedding, covering a tattoo, or worn under the hot lights in a studio- this will not let you down and there are a vast array of colors to choose from.<br />

There isn't an actress or model who hasn't benefitted from using strip eyelashes or individual lashes to enhance their eyes. False lashes give an instant glamorous look to the eyes and has a natural anti-aging effect. As we age, our eyelashes thin and the eyes begin to droop and sag. Adding a few individual lashes at the outer corners, opens the eyes up and adds an instant lift. My favorite lashes are by <b>Ardell</b>. I like the <a href="http://www.ardelllashes.com/product/62">Babies</a> strip lashes, as they are the most natural looking and virtually undetectable with their <i>invisiband. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And for a really natural look, try the<a href="http://www.ardelllashes.com/lashes/styles/individual"> knot free individual lashes</a> in black. You simply attach them to your own lashes with a little waterproof DUO glue.</div>

A constant staple in my on set makeup bag is <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/clean-and-clear-oil-absorbing-sheets/qxp68807?catid=183544">Clean and Clear oil blotting sheets</a>. The tiny papers instantly absorb facial oils leaving your skin clean and fresh. These make my job as a makeup artist so much easier...who needs to be constantly powdering all day?! These are great for men too, and very discreet.</div>

One of my most memorable jobs as a makeup artist, was the time I got to assist celebrity makeup artist <a href="http://www.joannegair.com/">Joanne Gair</a>, famous for her incredible Sports Illustrated body painting masterpieces. She was here for a day to do some hand painting for a commercial, and one of her favorite products was Maybelline <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/maybelline-expert-eyes-100-oil-free-eye-make-up-remover/qxp34877?catid=183591">oil-free eye makeup remover</a>. Seeing the ease that these cleaned up any makeup residue, instantly made me a fan as well, and the best thing about this is that it doesn't burn the eyes or leave an oily feel.</div>

I think I would be lost without <b>Q-tips</b> in my life! They are invaluable as a makeup artist. But sometimes I need a little bit more in my cotton swabs, and reach for a pointed version by <a href="http://www.discountbeautycenter.com/products2.cfm/ID/13966/name/victoria-vogue-?cvsfa=2982&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=3133393636&gclid=CNmKyMXO37YCFQFp4AodhVQAbQ#500-point-and-paddle-eye-tips-80-ct-25500">Victoria Vogue</a> to correct any smudges and do some last minute clean ups that the round version can't reach.</div>

I am very lucky to live in a town with such wonderful hospitals and doctors.</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<a href="http://www.upmc.com/Pages/default.aspx">UPMC </a>is one of the premiere hospitals in the US and I have been privileged to work on many commercials, videos and billboards for this health care giant over the years.<br />
<br />
One of my most memorable UPMC commercials I worked on last year, was with actress, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0466604/">Alla Korot</a>, former soap star and now current co-owner of<a href="http://luvalla.com/"> <b>L'uvalla</b></a> <b>certified organic skin care</b>. She is as passionate about her products as she is acting, and her skin was absolutely <i>flawless.</i><br />
<br />
After we wrapped the commercial, she was kind enough to send me some of her products in the mail to try and I have to say I was <u>very</u> impressed with everything she sent me.<br />
<br />
Using the L'uvalla line is like feeding your skin some of the long lost nutrients its been lacking.<br />
It's such a comforting feeling to know that every ingredient they put into their products is both natural, organic <i>and</i> very good for you. There really is something to be said for the old saying, "if you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin."!<br />
<br />
Her <a href="http://luvalla.com/luvalla-product/combination-oily/balancing-cream.html">Balancing Cream</a> for normal to oily skin was one of my favorite products. It instantly absorbed into my skin, leaving it hydrated and matte...a perfect combination for my oily skin, and completely free of toxic chemicals.<br />
<br />

Alla was such a beautiful soul to work with and I really enjoyed the time we spent together on set, and making her even more beautiful for our commercial.</div>

Many celebrities love and endorse her line, and now I can see why!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #6aa84f;">One of my favorite ways to wear green eyeshadow is to wet it to give it a nice sheen, then apply it to the eyelid. I love colors that have some iridescence to them such as <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/154/363/Eye-Shadow/index.tmpl">MAC</a>, <a href="http://www.makeupforever.com/products/eyes/aqua-cream.html#.UT6UpaXpSSA">Makeup Forever</a> and <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/new-urban-decay-eyeshadows/328,default,pd.html?start=13&cgid=1&prefn1=isNewDisplay&prefv1=true&srule=best-matches">Urban Decay.</a></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6aa84f;">Green liner has always been my favorite eyeliner to make hazel eyes sparkle.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6aa84f;">I have three go-to colors from Urban Decay that I absolutely love:</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/24-7-glide-on-eye-pencil/122,default,pd.html">Graffiti</a>, Stash, and Mildew. The colors all glide on effortlessly and stay put...24/7!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f;">If you're afraid of color on your eyes, you can ease into it slowly by adding just a pop of color along your upper lash line, while keeping your eyeshadows neutral.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">If you're feeling really daring, try a glitter liner for evening along the upper lash line, <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/heavy-metal-eye-liner/82,default,pd.html?start=24&cgid=1">Stagedive</a> is gorgeous and <i>fun</i>!</span><br />

I am so excited it is finally March, and spring is just around the corner.</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
After a long winter, it's so great to finally see the sun peeking through again. Daylight savings time can really reek havoc on my system for a while, so I am always searching for the best products that can make me, (or my clients), look more awake, refreshed and make up that time that mother nature took from us!<br />
<br />
Losing that hour of sleep over the weekend, <u>hurts</u>, but it's nothing that a little concealer, (<i>and caffeine</i>) can't handle...or how about a concealer, <i>with caffeine</i>, to instantly perk up the eye area?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod1150024#sku2204815">Smashbox High Definition Liquid Concealer</a> does all that! The caffeine helps sooth the redness and puffiness around the eyes, while never getting cakey. Apply this after your foundation to lighten under eye circles and soften the lines.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spring is the time to shed the heavy foundations and lighten the coverage with some of the newer BB creams. I'm a huge fan of <a href="http://shop.miracleskintransformer.com/products/Miracle-Skin-Transformer-SPF20-Face.html">Miracle Skin Transformer</a>. It gives a flawless, airbrushed look to the skin while moisturizing, priming the skin, minimizing pores <i>and</i> providing a SPF 20. The formula glides on like silk resulting in perfect looking skin without looking like you're wearing a full face of makeup.<br />
<br />

Continuing my quest for flawless skin, another one of my new beauty time savers comes from celebrity makeup artist, Kendra Richards. <a href="http://www.heiratelier.com/">Heir Atelier</a> Ultimate Makeup Prep is a hydrating serum designed to moisturize, nourish and prime the skin for a beautiful complexion. The silicone free formula is so lightweight and immediately absorbs into the skin. It's a must have on all of my shoots as it keeps the makeup looking fresh all day.</div>

<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span><span style="color: #990000;">This unique design catches all the shavings in the bottom of the container, while the dual German stainless steel blades sharpen your 8mm and 12 mm pencils to a precise point. It even comes with its own handy cleaning pick, and for 9.99, it's worth every penny, and makes my life as a makeup artist, so much easier!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;">But the best thing about <b>Slice,</b> is that founder, TJ Scimone donates 1% of all product sales to help fund autism research. His son Alex is autistic...<u>now that is beauty with a cause.</u></span><br />

<br />
Here are some of my favorites:<br />
<br />
A few years ago, I was working on the film, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1091722/?ref_=sr_1" style="font-style: italic;">Adventureland</a><i>, </i>shot on location in Kennywood Park<i>. </i>We were constantly toting our makeup bags and kits all over the park, and after 15 hour days on the set, our shoulders were aching!<br />
<br />
It was then that the key makeup artist introduced us to a really cool, rolling case, made by <a href="http://www.zuca.com/">Zuca</a>.<br />
Besides holding all of my products, it fits on an airplane AND doubles as a seat while standing in long lines, or sitting around on movie sets. The coolest thing is that you can customize your own case and the wheels light up. I get so many compliments ever time I take it out...mine is pink, and very cute:)<br />

In my Zuca case are many palettes that I have created from the hundreds of lipsticks, blush and eyeshadow pots. I love the MAC cosmetics and <a href="http://zpalette.com/">Z Palettes</a>.<br />
Z Palettes are a great way to put all of your favorite powders, blush and shadows in one case. Just pop your shadows out of the containers and place them in the magnetic cases.<br />

Another makeup artist must have is the <a href="http://thekimgreeneline.com/">Kim Greene</a> Premiere makeup bag. The see thru set bag, with all of the different compartments, keeps your actors makeup organized, allows you to see whatever makeup products you are using, and grab them quickly for touch ups. Love, love, love these bags!</div>

<b><a href="http://www.sephora.com/mineral-water-spray-duo-to-go-P230538?skuId=1154897">Evian</a></b> water spray is a must for hydrating and refreshing the skin when traveling. It can also wake you up on those long car & plane rides. On movie sets, we use it to make the actors sweaty, and mix it with eyeshadow to make eyeliner- I can't live without this stuff!</div>

Podcasts for the <a href="http://www.discoverychannelcme.com/physician-education/new-programs">Discovery Channel</a> and UPMC have been keeping On Location artists busy as well. We are very fortunate to live in a city with the best doctors in the world right here in Pittsburgh, and very thankful to work for the great folks at Summer Productions.<br />
<br />
But I wanted to let my clients know that we will now be offering private makeup lessons, makeovers and even small parties at our small studio in Greentree or we can bring the experts to you for a fun girls girls night out party.<br />
<br />
We now offer <a href="http://www.fluhme.com/pattybell"><b>Fluhme</b> Cosmetics</a> to our clients as well. I was fortunate enough to help create some of the looks of the shadow palettes with owner Tiffany Fluhme.<br />

She’s one of the most sought after makeup artists in Pittsburgh. She’s been called the “unofficial” makeup artist to the Pittsburgh Steelers because of her work with Steelers TV for the past 10 years.<br /><br />She’s also worked with Samuel L. Jackson, Kate Walsh, Lance Armstrong and many more celebrities.<br /><br />She’s broken into a highly competitive field with ease and is living her dream!<br /><br />We’re so excited to share her story with you. Enjoy Patty’s Q&A!<br /><br />___<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Introduce yourself and business as if you were speaking from the cockpit:</span><br />Good morning ladies and gents. This is your captain, film and television makeup artist,<a href="http://www.pattybellmakeup.com"> Patty Bell,</a> and owner of <a href="http://www.onlocationhairandmakeup.net">On Location Makeup</a>, speaking to you from the movie set, Elixir, where I am working as key makeup artist. I will be flying here for the next 23 days. Sit back and enjoy a wild ride in the fast-paced world of television movie making… it’s lights, glamour and lashes in this ABC family musical.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">When did you earn your wings?</span><br />I’ve been a makeup artist since 1986 where I got my first pair of wings on a commercial with director, <a href="http://blog.przyborski.com/">Glenn Pryzborski</a>. My agent, <a href="http://www.dochertyagency.com/index2.php?errorCode=401&errorMsg=No+records+match+the+request">Deb Docherty</a> plucked me out of the department store and gave me my first job with Hartwick/Przyborski.<br /><br />My career took off after that and I eventually got into the New York hair and makeup union in 1990, (thanks to my friend, Paula Pappas) and assisted on my first film, Iron Maze.<br /><br />20+ films later and thousands of commercials and videos later, I’m still going strong and loving the ride where every day is a new adventure.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">If you could name a nail polish color after yourself or your business, what would it be?</span><br />It would be called:<br />“Not A Shrinking Violet”…Aptly named for my first grade teacher who told my mom that she didn’t have time for…shrinking violets, aka, me;)<br /><br />This color is for all those late blooming violets, who shine brightly in all their glory and make the world a more beautiful place.<br />It’s a sparkling, vibrant violet—fun and calming, magically enhancing whomever it touches.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Not all flights are smooth. Tell us about how you handle turbulence in your business.</span><br />Being freelance offers its share of turbulence as a makeup artist, as you are basically on call 24/7, always awaiting your next job. There are only so many jobs to go around in an over-saturated, highly competitive market.<br /><br />The key to survival is learning how to get through the slow periods, which is why I do a little bit of everything: print, film, TV, video, sports, brides…Pittsburgh is a town that can offer a wide variety of makeup jobs and a great place to start.<br /><br />Looking back, the people that were the toughest on me in the beginning of my career, made me who I am today, and have taught me: patience, strength and professionalism, and to always put your best work out there, no matter what.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Who is the wind beneath your wings?</span><br />My mom is the wind beneath my wings and has always been my biggest supporter, fan and confidante…I don’t know what I would do without her.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Advice to other women as they navigate the business world?</span><br />Women need to support each other instead of knocking each other down.<br /><br />Success doesn’t happen overnight…you have to earn your wings in this business and never stop learning or volunteering your time or skills to help those in need.<br /><br />More often than not, your attitude and professionalism is what gets you hired and re-hired in this business, so be kind and nice to everyone you meet along the way, as they could be your boss someday!<br /><br />And most of all, be positive, check your ego at the door and be open to any opportunity that comes your way.<br /><br />posted by KATE STOLTZFUS | 0 commentsPatty Bell Makeuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10182187692391982002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134976590443116528.post-48667302944583297562011-09-11T23:10:00.006-04:002013-02-26T20:26:02.354-05:00Discover some amazing physicians in Pittsburgh with the Discovery ChannelOn Location Makeup has been hard at work this past year partnering with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Discovery Channel</span> and<span style="font-weight: bold;"> UPMC Pittsburgh</span> working on some incredible life changing videos for physicians and patients. <br />
It has been quite a journey and we are so lucky to live in a city known for having some of the top experts in their field right here in Pittsburgh.<br />
We've laughed, we've cried, been in and out of every hospital and operating room in Pittsburgh, but most of all, we've learned some pretty amazing things along the way all while making the doctors and patients look their very best for these videos, and we hope you do, too.<br />

Not Silly</span><br /><br />I asked a panel of experts what they thought:<br />What can women over 40 do to look "<span style="font-style:italic;">sexy</span>"? <br /><br />What common mistakes should they avoid that might make them end up looking "silly"?<br />The answers I received were amazing! Here's the advice they had to give: <br />#1 - Give the Girls a Boost! Like the rest of the body, breasts change as we age, yet women will continue buying the same bra size for years. Have your size measured by a professional at your local lingerie or department store. You'll be surprised how much slimmer and younger you will look with proper support and shaping. After you are certain of your correct size, treat yourself to a new 'under-wardrobe' of lace and loveliness. It will be your secret weapon. From Angela Farrell, E-Commerce Manager for Simone Perele French Lingerie <br /><br />#2 - Nurture Your Inner Vixen<br />Get out of your sweats and t-shirts and put on some sexy lingerie for yourself -- or your partner. There is nothing hotter than a matching bra and panty, or a pair of thigh high stockings. Putting on a pair of sexy panties under a dull business suit or your pair of favorite jeans gives you a feeling of mystery, power, and a little rebelliousness!<br />From Rebecca Jennings of HipsAndCurves.com<br /><br />The next 5 tips come to us from professional film and television makeup artist, <a href="http://www.pattybell.com"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Patty Bell</span></a><br /><br />#3 - Less is More!<br /> Lighten up on the foundation and powder. Nothing ages a women more than heavy pancake makeup that settles into the fine lines and wrinkles.Switch to a tinted moisturizer to add a nice dewey glow to the skin and only powder the nose if needed.No one should ever see your foundation- it should be used sparingly to even out your skin. <br /><br />#4 - Don't be Afraid of Mascara!<br /> It instantly opens your eyes and makes them look bigger! A navy mascara makes the whites of your eyes, pop!Add an extra coat for a little more pizzazz and concentrate on the outer corners to add a sexy cat eye, or add a few individual lashes, by Ardell for that extra Hollywood glamour. <br /> <br />#5 - Concealer is Your Best Friend!<br /> No woman should ever go without under eye concealer. It instantly brightens the eyes and takes years off.Look for shades that have a yellow undertones to take away the purpleness under the eyes, and always apply after your foundation. <br /><br />#6 - Have a Crush on Blush! As we age, our skin becomes dull and lackluster, but with a nice flush of blush on the apples of the cheeks, you can instantly brighten your complexion and look alive! I like Milani's Luminous blush for a nice, healthy glow- it's a beautiful pinky coral shade with gold highlights that looks great on everyone. <br /> <br />#7 - Swap your lipstick, for Lipgloss!<br /> Don't be afraid to add a little sparkle to your life- toss out your dark winter shades and lighten your lip color for spring with a sparkly gloss to give you a younger, fresher look, guaranteed to take years off. Your lips will look fuller and sexier, especially at night. <br /><br />#8 - Avoid the sun, embrace sunglasses! <br />While it seems contradictory to both avoid the sun and to embrace sunglasses while in the sun, we all know its impossible to completely avoid sunshine. If you do go in the sun, glop a high SPF all over your face and neck and wear sunglasses. Crows Feet are the quickest way to give away your age. The sun, married with squinting in the sun, will bring them on prematurely. So, you may not only look your age, but you may appear older. While a tan makes us all look good, being the hottest 80 year old in the home is essential when looking to date as an octogenarian. Follow this tip and reap the rewards as you gracefully age. <br /><br /> From Jodi Ambrose of In Your Face Publishing <br /><br />#9 - Sexiness is an inside job. While a hot body, perfect features, and trendy clothes in general say "sexy," that all loses its appeal when you see someone is shallow. Conversely, people who are imperfect in their appearance but are fulfilled in their self-expression radiate confidence (Mick Jagger) and a love of life. If there is any doubt about that, remember that some of the hottest people on the planet have been the most miserable (Marilyn Monroe) or were cheated on (Halle Berry). Be who you are and do what you do best, and you will be sexy in your own unique way. From Psychotherapy/Clinical Hypnosis, Speaker/Author, Nancy B. Irwin, PsyD, C.Ht.<br /> <br />#10 - Get the raw glow! Your skin will shine and you'll look fine on a diet rich in raw foods. Cooked, dead, and processed foods age your skin, making it dull and pale, while a diet rich in raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and lightly cooked fish is great for the skin! The omega-3 fats from walnuts, chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds and small oily fish are the best single thing you can do to prevent and reduce wrinkles. From Susan Schenck, author of "The Live Food Factor, The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit" and TV host for LiveFoodFactor.com <br /><br />#11 - Look and feel bulletproof The key to being sexy starts with thinking you are sexy. A great place to start is committing to looking "bulletproof" every time you go out. You should be able to say, "I look like a million bucks" every time you check your outfit in the mirror. Say it enough times and you will embrace your sexiness. Embrace your sexiness and others will too. From Jeremy Hamburgh, Hitchcraft dating consulting <br /><br />#12 - Just a Hint is All You Need Less eyeshadow, less red lipstick, less low cut blouse and less short short skirts. Just above the knee and a hint of that gorgeous cleavage, nude color lips and neutral tones are all ultra sexy. don't try too hard either. Pulling up your skirt is not sexy but bending down and giving a brief glimpse of stocking top is. From Rochelle Peachey, founder of I Love Your Accent<br /> <br />#13 - Wear a Non-Toxic Mineral Sunscreen<br />The biggest tip to keeping a youthful look is to wear your sunscreen daily and not just any sunscreen, a non-toxic mineral sunscreen is ideal."<br /><br />From Tricia Trimble, Founder of Suntegrity Skincare <br />#14 - Green Juice to Hydrate Your Skin<br />To keep your facial skin super sexy and glowing, start your morning off with an ultra cook, alkalizing cucumber juice! Not only do cucumbers hydrate you pronto (while caffeine first thing will only case more dehydration), they will also help alkalize your body and bring everything into a state of "ahhhhh"! Your skin will be hydrated and with daily use, you will likely "get the glow" that so many do from daily green juicing. Recipe: Wash 2 medium/large refrigerated cucumbers (organic/unwaxed), run through your juicer... wa-laa, instant beauty drink! (Yields approx 16oz.)<br /><br /> From The Healthy Lifestylist, Tina Pruitt <br />#15 - Use Sea Buckthorn Oil Women have two clocks but it doesn't have to move at the same speed for everyone. The little known secret is that you can ignore standard time and select a clock of your own. One that cannot halt the aging process but can absolutely slow it down. One of the keys is sea buckthorn oil. Derived from exotic berries generally found in harsh and extreme climates, this 'miracle' all-natural ingredient is widely known in Russia--and a powerful element of Russian beauty--but remains a virtual secret in the US.<br />Marina Gleyzer, owner and CEO of Spring Beauty SpaPatty Bell Makeuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10182187692391982002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134976590443116528.post-67603240137421952202011-07-13T14:27:00.003-04:002011-07-13T14:35:12.433-04:00The Beauty of Life: First Look Fridays: Makeup Artist Patty BellMany thanks to Jamie Sanders for featuring me on her blog, <a href="http://www.thebeautyoflifeblog.com/">The Beauty of Life</a>!<br />I am so honored to be included with so many industry greats!<br /><a href="http://www.thebeautyoflifeblog.com/2011/07/first-look-fridays-makeup-artist-patty.html">The Beauty of Life: First Look Fridays: Makeup Artist Patty Bell</a><br /><br />From the Pittsburgh Steelers to the upcoming movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Pittsburgh-based makeup artist Patty Bell has a pretty hectic schedule. She's also one of the sweetest people you could hope to come across! Read on to discover her favorite blush, the makeup brush she thinks everyone needs in their makeup kit, and so much more.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Can you tell me a bit about yourself?</span><br />I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and graduated from the Pittsburgh Beauty Academy as a licensed cosmetician. I have been working as a print, film and television makeup artist since 1986 and love every minute of it! I'm currently working as key makeup artist on the film The Perks of Being a Wallflower.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How did you first become interested in makeup, and what led you to become a makeup artist?</span><br />Makeup artistry kind of found me! In high school, I could always draw portraits and also did some modeling. That combination, plus the love of fashion, makeup and photography, has made me who I am today. Right after high school graduation, I went to modeling school and it was there that I knew that I really loved makeup. I soon began doing all of my friends, read every book that I could by my idol, Way Bandy, and then my next door neighbor hired me to be a makeup artist for Ralph Lauren cosmetics. After working for years in the department stores, I got "discovered" by my agent, who hired me on my first commercial. My career took off after that, and I eventually got into the hair and makeup union out of New York, IATSE #798.<br /><br />I am best known for doing natural beauty makeup and makeup for sporting events, having worked for Fox Sports and the Pittsburgh Steelers for 10 years.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What are some of the moments that stand out as highlights in your career?</span><br />Wow, so many highlights after so many years...being nominated by my peers as Pittsburgh's Master makeup artist was pretty cool, as well as landing my first national magazine cover and my first film. <br /><br />Working for television shows such as: The Young and the Restless, Monday Night Football, Versus and NBC Sports is always fun, as well as national campaigns for American Eagle, Levi's and Rue 21.<br /><br />I also got to star in Makeover Pittsburgh last year, and travel to Novia Scotia to work with NHL's Sidney Crosby, which I loved!<br /><br />I am very blessed to live in a small/big town with so many amazing opportunities and work with so many legends!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What are your top 5 favorite products?</span><br />1) M.A.C Blot Powder Pressed: MUST have in my kit!<br /><br />2) YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch: love, love, love this stuff<br /><br />3) NARS Laguna/Orgasm blush<br /><br />4) Mason Pearson hair brushes<br /><br />5) M.A.C lipliners and Powerpoint Eye Pencils<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What are your top 3 makeup tips?</span><br />1) Have a makeup lesson at least once it in your life -- the right makeup application can make you look years younger and take 10 years off your life! Don't be afraid to try something new ... it's only makeup, it washes off!<br /><br />2) ALWAYS use a sunscreen, and AVOID tanning beds at all costs! Make sure your foundation has a sunscreen in it. Using makeup does have its advantages, as foundation really does prevent premature aging and skin cancer.<br /><br />3) An eyeliner brush is the one makeup brush everyone should have! Seal your eyeliner with eyeshadow to prevent smearing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Being a makeup artist must be fun -- but what do you do in your spare time?</span><br /><br />In my "spare" time, I love being at home with my two teenage boys, and my two collies! I also enjoy spending time with friends, shopping, music, photography, reading, writing and being outdoors.Patty Bell Makeuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10182187692391982002noreply@blogger.com1
