Teen Choice Awards Makeup Get The Look: Sarah Hyland

Celebrity makeup artist, Allan Avendaño gave Sarah Hyland a simple, yet bold makeup look to complement her yellow two-piece outfit with turquoise jewelry.

Avendaño began creating Sarah’s look starting with the eyes first using the Pür Minerals Cease Crease Eye Shadow Primer to create a flawless base. He then used the Soul Mattes Eye Shadow Palette and applied the Confidant shade all over the eyelid. Using a fluffy crease brush, he patted Sidekick and Alter on the outer corners of the eye and blended the shades into the crease. He used that same shadow combination on the bottom lash line.

“To soften any hard edges, I buffed the BFF shade into the crease and used the Companion shade on the brow bone,” says Avendaño.

He then applied two coats of the Pür Minerals Big Look Mascara on the top lashes and one coat on the bottom before applying individual lashes.

Avendaño used the Pür Minerals Color Correcting Primer Illuminate & Glow followed by the Pür Minerals 4-in-1 Liquid Foundation with SPF 15 in Blush Medium with a damp sponge for seamless application. To add dimension to Sarah’s face, he applied the Pür Minerals Mineral Glow on her cheekbones, temples and jawbones. He then applied the Pür Minerals Chateau Cheeks Pressed Powder Blush in Kinky on the apples of her cheeks to add more color.

To highlight, he used the Pür Minerals Afterglow Illuminating Powder on the high points of her cheekbones, the brow bones, the bridge of her nose, the inner corners of her eyes and her cupid’s brow.

To create full and bold-shaped brows, he used the Pür Minerals Wake Up Brows in Mocha and used the highlighter end to amplify the arch of her brow.

Avendaño finished off Sarah’s look by lining and filling in her lips with an orange-red lip liner and applied the Pür Minerals Chateau Kisses Plumping Lip Gloss in Foxy, giving her a hydrated, full and sexy pout.

Pat McGrath Transforms Kim Kardashian West into Cleopatra

Today, on the latest cover of The Violet Files, the editorial site of Hollywood insider and beauty guru Cassandra Grey, Kim Kardashian West is transformed into the iconic Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra through the artistry and makeup design by Pat McGrath.

“I would have done anything—I would have trusted Pat’s vision no matter what she wanted—but I was really excited that it was the Cleopatra vibe,” says Kim Kardashian West of the collaboration with makeup artist Pat McGrath.

“Elizabeth Taylor’s makeup in Cleopatra has been re-created countless times, but for Kim I wanted to create an interpretation that has never been done before, a futuristic 3D version,” Ms. McGrath explains. “I wanted to portray a luxurious decadence by using elements of ornate facial jewelry constructed into shapes that pay homage to Egyptian culture, and of course to the rich exotic character that Taylor portrayed in this role.”

“Her eyeshadow was made from ground lapis stone and gold pyrite flecks,” notes Ms. McGrath. “Incorporating three-dimensional gold metal into the makeup design explores the concept of makeup as jewelry. I wanted the images to be luxurious, evoking a modern take on the opulence associated with Cleopatra’s makeup.”

The images, shot by Ben Hassett, are the first installment in a series for VIOLET GREY in which Ms. McGrath will reimagine paragons of old Hollywood glamour with new faces.

Sally Hansen Reformulated Miracle Gel Top Coat and Shades

These days, bigger is better when it comes to beauty. Following the major success of the first Miracle Gel launch, Sally Hansen has done it again, developing the new & improved volumizing Miracle Gel™ Top Coat – adding to the award-winning Sally Hansen Miracle Gel collection: the most buzzed about at-home nail system and the closest thing to a salon gel manicure at home.

When partnered with the Miracle Gel™ shades, Miracle Gel™ Top Coat volumizes as it protects. The Top Coat formula delivers 2x the volume to your manicure – creating dramatically fuller-looking nails with a high-gloss, mirror shine finish.

The result: the look of a gel manicure at home, without the trip to a salon! Miracle Gel’s simple application takes just two steps. First, apply two thin coats of Miracle Gel™ color to clean, bare nails. Then, apply one coat of the new Miracle Gel™Top Coat. Natural light does the rest, creating a manicure that resembles a UV / LED cured gel polish and up to 14 days of color and shine. The next best thing to a salon gel manicure, without using an UV / LED light AND removes easily with regular nail polish remover.

To coincide with the release of the new top coat, Sally Hansen announces a total of 20 new vibrant colors of Miracle Gel™.

The Tribal Vibe collection adds seven new sun-baked shades to the permanent line up: Cream of the Crop (ivory with a hint of warmth), Tribal Sun (fiery coral like the setting sun), Rhythm & Blue (mirrors the hue of a bright blue sky), Totem-ly Yours (an appealing dusty rose), Per-Suede ( the color of rich reddish leather), Terra-Coppa (melds the gleam of copper with the earthy appeal of pottery) and Buffalo Nickel (a cool, classic silver white).

Another new collection, Boho Chic, brings together seven festival-ready saturated shades for free spirits everywhere: Rhapsody Red (updates classic cardinal red with a blue undertone), Tipsy Gypsy (a bubbly, bright pink), Boho a-Go-Go ( a deep, creamy eggplant), Beatnik ( a statement-making cobalt), Mintage (a medium-toned mint), Fish-teal Braid (an aquatic turquoise), Miss Wanderlust (packs colorful glitter into a soft stunning coral

In addition, limited-edition duo packs pair the new Miracle Gel™ top coat with one of six summery colors: Blue Hue (a subdued, milk-glass blue), Teal Twin (a dark gemstone teal), Geo-Mint-ric (a vibrant spearmint), Get it Bright (the color of freshly sliced watermelon), Block Party (a tigerlily orange, tinged with coral),Up the Ante ( a medium-toned plum)

Luster Premium White – Product Review

Lately, I have been an advocate for teeth whitening products because it’s an area that’s overlooked. Having a beautiful smile is just as important as getting a spa manicure.

It goes beyond the ordinary whitening system and expands to owning a flouride and stain removing toothpaste. Luster Premium White has re-launched their Power White Deep Stain Eraser® Fluoride Toothpaste, a two-in-one daily fluoride + peroxide whitening toothpaste, with a completely new flavor and formula which is free of sulfates.

There’s only word to describe this toothpaste: AMAZING! After professionally whitening my teeth I wanted to maintain the results with Luster Premium White. I used my normal dental regimen but incorporated this toothpaste for brushing. It worked wonders on my teeth and the flavor was nice as well. Remember, this particular toothpaste has fluoride + peroxide which makes it a two in one formula.

More about the product:

Power White Deep Stain Eraser® Fluoride Toothpaste – SULFATE FREE ($ 6.99)

This two in one toothpaste will not only cleanse your teeth and freshen your breath, but it will also whiten surface and deep stains. There is no need to buy a separate cleanser and whitener. Power White Deep Stain Eraser® Fluoride Toothpaste combines these two steps in one.

· Removes up to 95% of surface stains in just 5 days

· No sulfates (SLS free)

· Uses 2% stabilized hydrogen peroxide for brighter, whiter teeth – 2X the leading brand

· Whitens safely above and below the tooth’s surface

· Developed by dentists

· Results in zero tooth sensitivity

· Enamel safe peroxide whitening

· Fluoride toothpaste formulated for daily use

Best for: Daily maintenance, replacing other toothpastes, fast whitening, and getting at deep stains.

Luster Premium White products are sold at Walgreen’s and Walmart, among other retailers nationwide

Caress Forever Collection and Tonya Reiman – Dating Tips

As a Caress Fabulista, I wanted to share some fun facts and tips on body language, fragrance, and touch!

Whether it be in your professional life or landing that second date with Mr. Right- the Caress Forever Collection’s mission statement is to help women leave a lasting impression. For the most detailed explanation, visit www.Dating9.com and learn how to read women if they care about you, and how to make them.

Fragrance, touch, and body language have been proven to be the most valuable when making a first impression. To understand how to be unforgettable, Caress teamed up with body language expert, Tonya Reiman. Tonya, along with interesting survey results, has helped shed the light on the subject.

Here’s the truth about dating in today’s world:

Online dating isn’t just accepted – it’s widely embraced. Two in five Americans use dating sites and apps. (Most using two or more sites.)

Online interactions aren’t enough to seal the deal – more than half of men say in person non-verbal cues are what make a woman unforgettable.

Chemical romance is real – Nearly 6 in 10 men find their significant other desirable because of their soft touch or irresistible scent.

Nearly half of men are more likely to remember a woman’s scent or touch than her name.

Second-date deal breakers include a lack of physical chemistry (59 percent), non-verbal signals that show a lack of interest (42 percent), or an undesirable scent or fragrance (35 percent).

Taking the facts above and Tonya’s tips below, women are now able to use the power of non-verbal communication (including using the touch technology in the new Caress Forever Collection) to their benefit in dating and in their everyday life.

Tips to Leave a Lasting Impression:

Touch + scent = unforgettable. Leaving a lasting impression goes way beyond physical appearance; what matters is physical interaction and fragrance. According to a recent survey, nearly half of men are more likely to remember a woman’s scent or touch than her name. Why? A touch forms bonds, commitment and intimacy, while scent triggers feelings and memories. Find a way to incorporate a natural touch; that instant connection is electric and makes an indelible memory.

o Bonus, if you’re wearing Caress® Love Forever™ Body Wash, it will release a burst of perfume upon touch to truly captivate the person you’re meeting.

Beam with confidence. Show you’re comfortable in your own skin – stand tall, make sure hands are turned down (hands turned up are a submissive sign), make eye contact and dress in something that makes you feel good. You will radiate and be irresistible.

Play it coy. When you really want to reel your date in, don’t give it all away. Maintain an air of mystery by slightly embellishing the busyness of your life and leaving some questions unanswered. It will leave your date wanting more.

Talk without words. The average person takes in more signs than they realize, so if you’re looking to show someone you’re interested, lean in while you’re talking, point your feet toward the other person and nod while they speak to let them know you’re listening. Even the way tilt of your head speaks volumes – a tilt to the right signals you’re trustworthy (perfect for a job interview), while the left makes you more attractive (try it on a date). Want to take it one step further? A soft touch to your heart and exposure of your neck are sure to send a message of sensuality.

About the New Caress Forever Collection:

The Caress Forever Collection is the world’s first body wash with Fragrance Touch Technology. The breakthrough technology of Caress Fragrance Release Pearls™ releases bursts of perfume with every touch of your skin. The collection combines sensual floral notes to create a fine fragrance for up to 12 hours.

Smile Brilliant Professional Teeth Whitening System Review and Giveaway

Let’s talk about your beauty regimen and dental health. This is an area that’s often overlooked due to loving makeup, hair, and clothing. Having a beautiful, healthy smile is just as important because it can enhance your total look!

We have to love our teeth regardless of what we wear or our favorite lipstick. I am an active beverage drinker due to the fact that I’m always on the go. One tip that I learned (from various dental articles) is that coffee, tea, and other beverages can stain your teeth. The only beverage that doesn’t have staining properties is water and over the course of a lifetime we (all) need a professional teeth whitening treatment.

I was fortunate to receive a package from Smile Brilliant to help restore my smile. The process was very easy with AMAZING results! You will not find an easier teeth whitening system (with results) for an affordable price.

“a smile is the best makeup any girl can wear”

Here’s the teeth whitening steps:

1. Create the mold of your teeth with impression material.

2. Ship back to Smile Brilliant (don’t forget the return shipping label.)

3. Open the mold package and wait for use after a few hours of drinking a beverage.

4. Use the desensitizing gel to assist with potential teeth enamel burning; this will not occur if you wait a few hours after drinking a beverage.

5. Fill your teeth molds with the whitening system and that’s it! You can leave it on for 15 minutes or as long as you like. I used my teeth molds in a variety of time frames but the best results happened overnight. I loved waking up to a whitened smile; then flossing, brushing, and using a mouth wash.

I STRONGLY encourage everyone to try this system! Let’s not forget that teeth whitening is actually cosmetic and can be very expensive. The use of “other” teeth whitening systems can also remove teeth enamel but Smile Brilliant molds are fitted to your teeth which makes a difference.

Smile Brilliant Kit: * Teeth Whitening Trays * Carrying Case * Impression Material * 3-Way, pre-paid postage * Custom dental models * Professional teeth whitening gel * Desensitizing gel
