On-The-Go Makeup Bag Essentials 2020

When on the go, a makeup bag is always convenient and essential. We are not talking about your full on makeup bag, because let’s be honest, that can be a very hefty bag for some of us, but a small makeup bag that is great for on the go! Follow along as we discuss a few must-have items to have in your makeup bag this year.

Mascara

When all else fails, mascara is always there to save the day! You can have a bare face and still look awake just by adding a little mascara. This product opens up your eyes and gives your lashes that extra “oomph”.

Lipstick/ Chap Stick

You can’t predict how certain weather will make your lips react, which is why we recommend having your favorite chap stick on you all the time. Along with a chap stick, we also suggest bringing a neutral lipstick and your favorite red or pink lipsticks, these shades are versatile and can match easily with any outfit!

Concealer

Blemishes happen, and when on the go, having a concealer to quickly cover them up is always great. Go for a concealer with a long lasting formula that provides the right amount of coverage without being too heavy on the skin.

Tinted Moisturizer

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Keep your skin moisturized throughout your trip with a tinted moisturizer. It provides you with the hydration that your skin needs while adding a slight tint for natural looking coverage. Go the extra step by getting a tinted moisturizer with SPF for protection from sun exposure.

Eyebrow Kit

Well-groomed brows can help shape your face! Do not forget to pack a small eyebrow kit in your travel makeup bag for quick on the go touch ups. Groom them with an eyebrow brush, give them a quick fill, and use some tweezers for any lingering hairs.  

Facial Mist

Keep your face refreshed throughout your day with a quality facial mist. Think of it as a mid-day pick me up. After a day of tourist attractions, bring out the mist and spritz some on your face for some extra hydration!

We hope you gained some makeup bag inspiration for your next traveling plans! These simple products can go a long way and help keep your skin glowing and face looking beautiful wherever your travel.

Different Types of Make-Up Primers

When it comes to our beauty and make-up routine, a flawless look is what we all want to achieve. In the beauty industry, there are so many different products and techniques to achieve these type of results, but primer is one of the products that is a must-have! Think of it as the base coat to achieving a smooth complexion and a long-lasting finish. Read along to learn about the different types of primer best for different skin types.

Mattifying Primer- Oily Skin

Mattifying primers are best for someone with oily skin. This type of primer minimizes the appearance of pores while helping reduce shine throughout the day and extending the wear of makeup. A good primer will give you an oil-free, matte finish that is light and hydrating without clogging your pores.

Tinted Primer

A tinted primer is great for subtly evening out skin tone and neutralizing discoloration. This works best on normal skin with small pores. It differs from a mattifying primer due to its dewy finish. If you like your face to have that extra glow, try a tinted primer with shimmer for that extra glow!

Colour-Correcting Primer

Coulour-correcting primers come in different hues to help with different skin imperfections. From the reduction of redness to minimizing pores and brightening your skin, these primers are life savers! If you your skin is a bit dull, go for a pink primer, which give your skin a much brighter finish. Primers with green hues help reduce redness along with blemishes.

Now that you’ve learned a little more about the wonderful powers of make-up primers you can go shop for one that fits your skin type! A flawless finish along with an extended makeup wear are only a few benefits of this great application. Here at Beauty Studio, we make sure to provide you with the best make-up products to deliver a gorgeous look each time. Visit our website to learn more beauty tips!

Trendy Fall Makeup Looks

As the leaves turn different colors and the weather cools down, it’s clear that fall is just around the corner. You may be wondering: how can I change up my makeup routine to reflect the autumn season? In this blog post, we’re going to discuss a few different ways you can incorporate dark and smoky pigments into your makeup look!

Burgundy/Purples

Burgundy shadows and lipsticks pair well with light to medium skin tones.  The contrast of dark purples against your skin helps you to put together a dramatic look that catches attention anywhere you go. For eyeshadow application, we recommend blending together the colors at the crease first, and then buffing out the remaining shadow towards the outer eyelid. As for your lipstick, apply a dark colored lip liner and then fill in the remaining space with your favorite burgundy shade!

Deep Reds/Oranges

From crimson reds to burnt oranges, go outside of your comfort zone with these warm hues. This color palette is perfect for all skin tones, and can be incorporated with a variety of makeup looks. Since we’re sticking to fall trends, pair a matte red lipstick with neutral eyeshadows to let your lips be the center of attention. Orange eyeliners and eyeshadows are also a great way to add a pop of color on your lids!

Chiseled Charcoal

A super light dusting of a charcoal shadow can turn your fall makeup into something whimsical, yet sophisticated. The grey and black tones of charcoal can be combined with a jet black eyeliner and false lashes to up the intensity. Be sure to blend these colors to the outer edge of your eyelid, being careful not to smudge the shadow onto the rest of your face. However, if you do mess up, take a clean makeup wipe and carefully wipe away the mistake for a fresh start!

Conclusion

Using the latest techniques and skills in the makeup industry, our professional makeup artists at Beauty Studio Inc Mobile Hair and Makeup will give you a full face fall look. From touch ups to airbrush applications, we can customize any makeup style to your preference. Visit our website for more information on our makeup packages today!

Hair Porosity: How Well Do You Really Know Your Hair?

Your hair is your crowning glory. You take care of it by washing and conditioning it, using the best styling products you know of to achieve the look you desire, and maybe by throwing in a special treatment to give your strands a boost in the right direction. You might know what products to use for hair based on the styles from popular magazines and makeover shows, but do you really know your hair and what it truly needs? To better understand what you need for an impeccable head of hair, you need to first understand your hair porosity. Then you should be able to choose the best products for your individual needs.

What is hair porosity?

Porosity can be defined as your hairs ability to accept and hold on to moisture. Moisture is everything if you want an amazing head of hair. Without the proper moisture your delicate strands need, they can become more prone to frizz, dryness, and breakage. When you understand your hair’s porosity, you can choose the proper hair care products to create the perfect do’ and enhance the health of your hair.

Types of Porosity

There are three types of hair porosity: Low, Normal, and High. You can naturally have a particular type of porosity, but constant hair manipulation can cause your hair to become more or less porous.

Low Porosity

Do you find yourself trying to saturate your hair with water longer than most people? If you walk through a mist of water, do you see water beaded up on your hair like flakes of snow? If so, then you most definitely have low porosity hair. This hair type is prone to products sitting on top of the hair instead of absorbing and tends to be on the drier side. This is due to the fact that your hair cuticles lie flat and are not lifted to accept much needed moisture. Oddly enough, your hair will take a long time to dry once it is fully saturated with water. Why? Because once water is able to finally penetrate the cuticle, the cuticle closes again trapping moisture.

Since this type of hair is the most delicate, it is important for the person to hydrate properly. Using water-soluble products is best and try to avoid heavy oils and products. Deep conditioning is a must for a lush, hydrated head of hair so make sure you deep condition with heat (such as with a hooded dryer, heat cap, etc.) to lift up your hair cuticles so the conditioner can penetrate effectively.

Normal (Medium) Porosity

If you have normal hair porosity, you are the envy of the town! Your hair type can easily accept moisture and you can even cocktail the type of products you use to suit your needs. The cuticles open and close easily when they need to, so water and products can penetrate just fine. Your haircare routine can change with the weather, so pay attention to your mane and give it what it needs!

High Porosity

Does your hair soak up moisture and products like it’s never soaked in them before? If so, your hair has high porosity, meaning your cuticles tend to stay open. Using heavy products can weigh your hair down quickly, so make sure to look for lightweight, silicon-free products to style and care for your hair.

How to Find out Your Porosity

Now that you know the general guidelines on hair porosity, you might have an idea about which category your hair falls under. But to find out for sure, there are a few different ways to perform a hair porosity test. Some easy, popular ways to determine your porosity are the water shed test or the hair strand test.

  • Water Shed Test

Wet a small section of hair with a spray bottle and watch how the water reacts with the hair. Is it sitting on top? Then you have low porosity hair. Is the water absorbed quickly? Then you have high porosity.

Water shed test
  • Hair Strand Test

Take a strand of hair and place it in a cup of clean water. If it floats, it is of low porosity. If it sinks to the bottom, it is of high porosity. If it floats to the middle, then it is of normal porosity.

Sometimes women have multiple types of hair porosity at once. If you suspect this, use separate cups of water and pick strands of hair from different sections of your head where textures seem to differ. This will help you tremendously with figuring out which products best suit your needs.

Conclusion

As you can see, the styling regimen that works for one person may not be the same for the next. In order to make that crown of yours shine and thrive, you need to pick out the right products to suit your low, normal, or high porosity needs.

Prom 2019 Makeup Trends

Prom season is coming to a close, which means it’s time to review the hottest makeup trends of 2019! One of the best parts of prom is the freedom to create whatever makeup look you want to rock. Without fear of too little or too much, the possibilities are endless! Keep reading through this blog to find inspiration from this year’s prom makeup looks.

Bold Lip

Bold makeup is one of the many fun ways to stand out on prom night. Many people believe a bold makeup look is hard to create, however, a bold lip color has never been easier! This year, many students took a leap of faith and went with daring and bright shades. They had the ability to play down the makeup on their eyes so the lips stood out. Plus, they could toss the lipstick tube in their bag and bring it with them for the night! This is a great way to stay glam from beginning to end. 

Smoldering Eyes

If you enjoy a challenge, a bold eye is a look for you! There are endless ways to play up the color, size, and shape of your eyes all based on the type of makeup you use. This year was all about finding the right shades and intensities. Whether a bold eyeshadow color was applied or a dramatic cat eye was the star of the show, there were so many different options to choose from. One of our favorite ways to make a statement is by adding a strip of false lashes! You simply pick the flair you love, trim to fit your eye, and glue them to your natural lash line. Your eyes will pop and by the end of the night, you can just gently take them off and reuse them again for another occasion! 

Subtle Glam

It is true what they say about less is more. In the case of those who chose bold dresses or hair, a played down makeup look stood out just as much as all the bold looks. While the idea of soft makeup doesn’t sound fun, there are still plenty of ways that the subtle looks were absolutely glamorous. Soft eyes using light shades of shadows and a few coats of mascara can make your eyes pop. Some people even found that putting a shiny lip gloss on their lids created a dewy and fresh appearance. With a light, warm blush on the apples of their cheeks, they were ready for all the photographs! 

Conclusion

There are many bold and daring makeup looks that were rocked for prom 2019. Whether you debuted a bold lip, dramatic eyes, or a subtle look, this year was definitely one for the books! For any other upcoming makeup needs, you may have, head on over to our website for inspiration and work from a professional!

Four Steps to Cover Up a Tattoo with Makeup

Tattoos are awesome; they are permanent works of art on your skin! However, there are times when you may find it necessary to cover up your visible tattoos, as some people aren’t as accepting of them. Whether you have an upcoming job interview, or are about to meet your significant other’s parents for the first time, these 4 steps will help you hide your tattoo in no time.

 

What You Need

Before you begin concealing your tattoo, you need to make sure that you have these products:

  • Primer: Primer preps your tattoo for the makeup you are going to be applying. It evens out the skin to provide a smooth canvas for you to work on.
  • Full coverage foundation: As the name suggests, the foundation is the base of your concealing routine. We recommend using a matte finish foundation.
  • A concealer palette: Concealers help to mask skin blemishes (and tattoos) and can be matched to your skin tone.
  • A color-correcting crayon (Optional): Think of this as a spot-cleaning tool. These crayons come in a variety of colors, so you need to make sure that you get the correct color for your tattoo. For example, if your tattoo has red areas in it, you will need a green crayon to counteract them.
  • Face Powder or Setting Spray: Face powder and setting spray help your makeup products stay on all day. You can use both of these for more strength, or just face powder by itself.

 

Now that you have your makeup products, you can start the tattoo concealing process. However, keep in mind that these products are not waterproof and only offer temporary coverage.

 

The Four Steps

Step 1: Start with your primer. Apply an even layer over the area. If you have a colored tattoo, you should apply your color correcting crayon after the primer.

Step 2: Time for the foundation! Apply the foundation with a makeup blender to make it smooth and even. Blend outwards and use as much foundation as you need to provide full coverage. Most of your tattoo should be covered after this step.

Step 3: After the foundation, apply the concealer. Your palette should have a shade that closely matches your skin tone. (Experimenting with this beforehand will help you figure out which shade combination works best for you.) This should also be applied with a makeup blender in order to create a seamless look. At this point, the concealer should completely cover your tattoo.

Step 4: To keep your makeup in place all day, use face powder. That way, your foundation and concealer won’t disappear as the hours go by. For extra strength, apply the setting spray after the face powder to make sure that your tattoo stays covered.

 

Conclusion

Hiding your tattoos doesn’t have to be a difficult process, especially when you have the right products. However, relying on the professionals is always best. The beauty artists at Beauty Studio Inc. Mobile Hair and Makeup are experts when it comes to applying makeup. With our tattoo cover up services, we make sure that your tattoo is concealed flawlessly so that you can face any event with total confidence!

Holiday Look Series – Christmas Edition

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Parties, friend gatherings, and family dinners are about to take over your life, and you don’t want to look anything less than trendy! This is especially true for those Christmas parties where you’ll be captured in every photo angle possible. With our aid, however, you don’t have to worry as we’ve scoured all the rising trends for winter 2018 and found the best looks for you this holiday season.

Emeralds and Glitter

When the holidays come rolling around, there is a constant struggle between trying to have a festive look and not wearing red and green. While it’s true those two colors are complementary and festive, it can be a struggle to make them work cohesively when it comes to makeup. That is why one of the most popular looks of this year is green and silver, which lies in between being festive and still looking fabulous! Emerald shades paired with silver are making a blast in the beauty world with the greens staying in theme with the season while silver creates a pop of shine or glitter. Add a nude lip and you’re ready to go rock your office Christmas party!

Glow It Up!

Arm yourself with highlighters and glow-up materials because it’s the Bronze Age again! Having a glowing look is great for parties and get-togethers where you want a bit of extra attention. Keeping your eye shadow pallet primarily in neutral and gold tones with a defining bronzer and attention-grabbing highlighter is perfect for any high-energy party. Getting that dewy, golden glow is one of the top looks that is happening this season, especially during the holidays where the bright lights really make you shine! Finish the look with a light pink or red lip for some color, and your glow-up is ready.

Classic Never Goes Out

Now, this is for all the party-goers who, like us, have waited until the last minute for some Christmas makeup inspiration. If you ever find yourself in a pinch for a makeup look–not just during Christmas–remember these words: “When in doubt, cat-eye it out!” A classic cat-eye paired with a bold red lip is an undisputed staple of the beauty industry. This makeup look is so versatile, it can go with everything from holiday looks to a night out on the town. The red lip keeps you in tune with the festivities, and the cat-eye goes with nearly any outfit that you have in mind. Swoop on your favorite mascara to really show off your eyes and you’re all set.

Conclusion

The holiday season is perfect for showing off all of your beautiful features. Your natural beauty is your best accessory, and with the use of any of the aforementioned looks, your favorite features will really be on display. You’re guaranteed to be the center of attention at any event you attend, so pick your look and wear it with confidence

Holiday Look Series – New Year’s Edition

As if the last day of the year weren’t reason enough to look your best, this year’s New Year’s Eve trends are already rising to the top of glam diva’s to-do lists. You do not want to leave your look inspiration to the last minute, because the hottest parties and gatherings of the year will capture you from all angles.

We took a look at what trends everyone is raving about, and we selected the very best for you to get inspired. New Year’s is all about silver, gold, and glitter, but it can also serve as your moment to establish the new and better you. Be bold and daring, and ring in the New Year with these 2019 trends!

Natural Beauty

Natural beauty started to become a trend at the end of 2018, but how far will you take your commitment to love yourself flaws and all? Be the talk of the night showing up to your NYE plans with the bare minimum makeup look. That does not mean that you rolled out of bed and called it enough. The natural look is all about enhancing your best features and highlighting them for everyone to see how confident you are.

We recommend outlining your eyebrows right under the hairline to avoid adding more shape. Lightly stroke in between the hair follicles that look bare, to make your brows voluminous. Match the color of your cheeks with a non-glitter cream blush and use a non-glitter highlight over it for a dewy skin look. Add a nude lip that best matches your skin tone to give a non-chapped look. Two to three coats of mascara and you will look like a confident queen!

Party Princess

Who cares about the disco ball, when you are the belle of the ball? Too much glitter does not exist on New Year’s Eve, especially if your countdown will take place at the hottest party in town. Let yourself be known and strut into 2019 claiming your throne!

We suggest a glitter eye-shadow with the color of your choice, though you can never go wrong with disco ball silver. Don’t wing your look for the night, but do be fierce with your eyeliner wing. Let everyone know that the party does not start until you walk in, and let your wing be as long as your lashes. On that note, this is the perfect night to glue on your wildest eyelash extensions. We suggest ones with rhinestones on the waterline.

New Year’s Kiss

Everyone wants to get kissed when the ball drops and rings in the New Year. It gives you an exhilarating expectation of what’s yet to come. Make yourself irresistible with this look!

It’s all about the eyelashes and lips! Try a bright lipstick color like red, pink, or purple. Give yourself fanning luscious lashes with eyelash extensions or an ultra-volume mascara. This is an especially daring look if you’re attending a masquerade ball where only your eyes and lips will be visible!

Conclusion

Which look will you be approaching 2019 with? With plenty of time to prepare, you want to make sure that you know what your intentions are for the New Year. A glamorous and personality-matching look will be the perfect push that you need to motivate yourself for a “new year, new you!”
