Eyebrow Shaping for Guys - Tips from Orlando Santiago

Image
Today’s man wants to put his best face forward. And that doesn’t just involve a clean shave or fresh skin. He wants to play up his features. One of the first facial features that gets noticed is the brow. Most men have full brows, that require regular grooming – no one wants that third eyebrow! Some men, however, could use a brow shape boost. A strong brow changes the shape of the face and can make eyes pop. The trick is selecting the right color and applying it the right way. In our recent seminar at The Makeup Show Dallas, MUA Orlando Santiago shared his tips on how to build a bolder male brow.  Create Volume  If a cut or scar is located in the brow, you can enhance volume with a pencil. Don’t simply draw in a brow – that would be too obvious. Create the illusion of volume by using the pencil to sketch in the missing “hair”.  Draw Depth If you have a brow that happens to be a bit sparse in areas, use some shadow to add dimension and depth to create the illusion of a fuller brow. You...

Living Art America Professional Category Art by Stephanie Anderson Last weekend Living Art America painted Greensboro, North Carolina a rainbow of colors. The professional bodypainting event drew talent from across the world for three fun-filled days of workshops, competitions, and celebrations. We caught up with renowned bodypainting makeup artist Jinny, co-founder of our Paradise Makeup AQ line, for the inside scoop. Mehron: As having served as a judge for both, how does Living Art America's North American Bodypainting Championship compare to the World Bodypainting Festival in Austria? Jinny: While both are sanctioned by the World Bodypainting Association, the two events are very different in terms of type and scale.

In addition to the professional and emerging artists competition categories hosted by the North American Bodypainting Championship, the World Body...

New York Fashion Week is here and Mehron is once again in the spotlight. To kick off the highly anticipated festivities, New York Model Management created the amazing video below in which fashion and editorial MUA Raul Otero used Celebré Pro HD on all the models. We caught up with Raul to learn more about him, his inspirations, and the video. Mehron: What inspired the look for the video? Raul: When the team and I sat down to discuss the shoot, we had a common idea. We wanted all the girls to look luxurious and expensive with an effortless quality. I immediately thought of when a girl steps out of the shower and has this clean glow about her, which I think is very beautiful. So basically, I wanted all the girls to look fresh out of the shower. Mehron: The fresh, dewy look of their skin definitely jumps out in the video. Why did you choose Celebré Pro HD to achieve that look? Raul: I chose Celebré Pro HD as the main product for this shoot because I am absolutely in love with it. I lo...
