It’s no secret that celebrities, influencers and makeup artists can’t get enough of Artis. So, why would it be a surprise that everyone’s favorite celebrity makeup artists, Sir John (responsible for achieving Beyonce’s flawless looks), and Ana Marie Rizzieri (behind Rose Byrne’s gorgeous looks in Henrietta Lacks on HBO), have one major thing in common – they both love using the Artis Elite Mirror Oval 7!
Artis Elite Mirror Oval 7 ($62 at ArtisBrush.com):
This patented, perfect size face brush brilliant applies foundation, blush, highlighting, bronzing, skincare, and setting powders. Artis brushes are made exclusively with CosmeFibre, a revolutionary engineered fibre made for applying cosmetic and makeup products.
The Inspiration: Rita’s gorgeous silk gown confection by Marchesa immediately inspired Celebrity Makeup Artist Kathy Jeung to give Rita a strong red lip to match her dress. Kathy added strong brows and bold lashes with a matte skin finish, added glowing shimmery highlights on the cheekbones and lower lash line.
How to Get the Look:
Skin
Kathy applied Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer all over Rita’s cleansed face to create a smooth mattifying canvas for makeup. She then applied Rimmel London Match Perfection 2 ‘n 1 Concealer in shade Light with her ring finger in a tapping motion underneath Rita’s eyes, erasing dark circles. Kathy applied Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation in Sand with a flat foundation brush in broad strokes over Rita’s face, and blended with a damp sponge, giving Rita a sheer, natural looking matte finish.
Cheeks
Kathy used Rimmel London Kate Moss Sculpting & Highlighting Kit in Golden Sands to highlight the tops of Rita’s cheekbones, above her jawline and down length of her nose. She contoured the hollows under her cheekbones, just under her jawbone and under her chin using a narrow wedge brush and applied the blush using a rounded brush on the apples of her cheeks and extended towards temples.
Kathy added a natural glow and a healthy dose of color by applying Rimmel London’s Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze, with a large fluffy brush, by dusting lightly along hairline, on temples, on cheeks and under chin. She also blended into the face to soften the contour.
Eyes
Kathy applied the beige shade of the Rimmel London Magnif’Eyes Shadow Contouring Palette in Keep Calm & Wear Gold all over the eyelid to browbone as a base color and browbone highlighter. She used the dark beige matte shade in the eye socket hollow to enhance the crease. She lined Rita’s eyes using Rimmel ScandalEyes Thick & Thin Eyeliner by applying a thin line along the lashes to subtlety blend in the lash line. Lastly, she enhanced Rita’s eye look by using Rimmel London’s brand new volumizing, clump-free Shake It Fresh Mascara to complete the look.
Brows
Kathy gave Rita a structured brow, using Rimmel London Brow This Way Brow Sculpting Kit in Dark Brown. She brushed the powder on to fill in, and extend the shape and give structure to Rita’s eyebrows. She then used Brow This Way Brow Styling Gel in Clear to keep stray hairs in place.
Lips
Kathy lined Rita’s lips using Rimmel London’s Lasting Finish Lip Liner in Red Dynamite to give added shape and staying power. She finished off the lips by applying Rimmel London’s Show Off Lip Velvet in Burning Lava and Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in Kiss of Life. She layered Rimmel London #Insta Fix & Matte Translucent Powder in between the layers to keep everything in place.

Kendall Jenner and Mary J. Blige attend the 2017 Met Gala clad in two creations from the La Perla Haute Couture Collection designed by Creative Director Julia Haart. Jenner donned an all-over crystal draped gown in dégradé shades, complete with a barely-there painted macramé bodysuit. Blige debuted La Perla’s latest innovation: latex lace. The corseted column gown in stretch tulle, latex lace, and silk cady perfectly links La Perla’s lingerie heritage with its future in haute couture.

ABOUT KENDALL JENNER’S GOWN Created from 85,000 hand painted and placed crystals, Jenner’s La Perla gown is a culmination of over 160 hours of work, spanning 5 cities and 26 craftsmen. Each hand painted crystal is placed en dégradé, creating a flow of color from Diamond into Jet Hematite and finishing off in Jet Black.
“I was inspired by Rei Kawakubo’s concept of ‘un-fabric’ and her ability to create movement out of seemingly immobile materials. So, I created my own ‘un-fabric’ by affixing stones to a single thread, creating a beautiful and liquid suspension that mirrored the qualities of a fine silk.” – Julia Haart, La Perla Creative Director
ABOUT MARY J BLIGE’S GOWN: Inspired by Rei Kawakubo’s concept of ‘un-fabric,’ Creative Director Julia Haart created hand-sculpted latex lace as the principal feature for Blige’s provocative column gown. Starting with a corset that features a built-in La Perla bra, the black stretch tulle is adorned with scalloped latex lace and hand-placed boning detail.
“I am so honored to be attending the Met Gala with the legendary Mary J. Blige. Her strength and femininity inspired me to create a gown that is both tough and feminine – strong and sexy.” – Julia Haart, La Perla Creative Director

ABOUT JULIA HAART’S GOWN: The bordeaux stretch tulle and georgette gown is embellished with hand painted metallic feathers and crystal beadwork.

Celebrate your tousled texture and strut your natural stuff – now is the time to have more fun and go with a beach-inspired, bouncy and free-spirited style!
o If you have finer/straight hair, use a dry texture spray like the L’ANZA Healing Style Dry Texture Spray – it has similarities to a dry shampoo and provides that extra volume and juj, without the greasy oil or residue.
o If you have textured hair (insert Beyoncé’s gorgeous curls), an oil like the L’ANZA Keratin Healing Oil Hair Plumper is great for providing gorgeous fullness, without leaving the hair feeling dry.
Go with a lighter shade of Bayalage. Or, if you’re looking for something a bit more drastic without the commitment, a temporary rose gold color tone is a great option.
Braided accents and ponytails are all the latest rage right now – everyone is longing for a fresh and youthful look in the spring! And, if you’re looking for something a bit more edgy, sport a side spiked side part for going out.
o Finish with the quick-drying L’ANZA Keratin Healing Oil Lustrous Finishing Hairspray that provides great hold, extended UV/hair color protection, shine and volume, and fights frizz/humidity (not to mention it smells amazing).
Owning the right set of hair brushes can be the same as purchasing a gorgeous lipstick. It’s essential to your beauty routine and a must-have product.
I decided to give my hair some attention and invest in the proper set of brushes. The summer requires a lot of hair manipulation and can lead to loss at the root.
To help out in this area, Conair shipped a set of brushes. I’m huge fan of the hot air brush that was featured on this site a year ago and was excited to receive the package. In terms of hair maintenance, the brush is by no means a substitute for professional blowouts but I have received compliments after using this product.
My technique is to apply serum, section the hair, start on a low-heat; working until the hair is straight.
Product Review:
Let’s talk about the new set of brushes! I received the Quick Blow-Dry Metal Vent Brush, Carbon Smooth Fast Drying Anti Static Brush, and Ultra Detangler Large Nylon Round Brush. Again, each brush has an individual use, which is very important to remember.
The Quick Blow-Dry Metal Vent Brush allows airflow from your dryer to the hair; Smooth Fast Drying Anti Static Brush prevents static after blow-drying, and Ultra Detangler Nylon Round brush easily glides through wet hair. You’re probably asking, “Which brush did I use?” And the answer is all of them!
The ultimate purpose of using a hairbrush is not just for styling but it’s critical to the health of your hair. I suggest researching the right hair tools and visit your local Ulta to purchase a set of Conair Brushes. The company has a variety of brushes for all hair types.
After using the set of brushes, I have received several compliments on my hair and it’s not because I’m a great stylist (smile) but due to using the right tools!
