Betty’s Makeup Consultation

Jun 272012

Betty doesn’t need a whole new image, just a little beauty boost to help her feel more confident about re-entering the work world. To help her update and simplify her makeup routine, we asked Mariana Ortega, education coordinator for Origins, to lead our busy tour director on a path to a brand new look.Mariana was inspired by the jewel tones that are the must-have makeup colors for fall. Working with soft shades to warm and enhance Betty’s fair skin, Mariana created an easy-to-achieve look, perfect for business or pleasure. To learn Mariana’s tips for achieving this look and see all the products Betty won, follow the directions in the list below.

A Perfect World White Tea Skin Guardian
To prep Betty’s skin for flawless makeup application, Mariana would start by applying this powerful anti-oxidant treatment. The Silver Tip white tea, Boswellia and walnut extracts will deter signs of aging and leave Betty’s skin feeling silky and soft.

Have a Nice Day Super-Charged Moisture Cream
Betty’s skin tends to be on the dry side and all the traveling she does for her job only makes matters worse. Mariana chose this moisture cream to fight dehydration and protect Betty’s face from the elements. Made with stimulating ginkgo extract, nourishing soybean and a potent blend of UV protectors, this rich cream should be a staple in Betty’s overnight bag.

Dew Gooder Moisturizing Face Makeup
To add even more moisture to Betty’s complexion, Mariana loves the fresh, glowing effect of Dew Gooder. This hydrating makeup contains light diffusers to brighten the face and disguise fine lines. When applying, Mariana advises using you fingers rather than a sponge. The heat of your fingers against your skin helps warm the makeup, creating a smoother application.

Silk Screen Refining Face Powder
To set Betty’s makeup, and for quick touch-ups during the day, Mariana’s favorite product is Silk Screen. This lightweight, pressed powder is made with mica and corn starch to create a soft, shine-free finish. Apply a light application with a powder brush.

Eyeshadow
For Betty’s eyes, Mariana chose colors to flatter, enhance and warm her skin tone. Betty should begin by applying the citrine color of Mandarin Twist to the entire lid, from lashes to brow. Next, using an angled shadow brush, she should apply the deep garnet of Root Beer Float to the outer corner of the eyelid and into the crease and blend well. The color should accentuate the shape of the eye, but not look too overdone.

Eye Pencil To help create a fuller-looking lash line and focus more attention on Betty’s eyes, Mariana recommends lining the outer corners of both the top and bottom lashes with the Origins Eye Pencil in Fudge. This technique of lining just the outer corners creates an uplifting, open look.

Eye Brightening Color Stick Even on days when Betty is feeling a little road weary, this Eye Brightening Color Stick will keep her looking well rested. Mariana likes to apply this ice-blue colored pencil at the inner and outer corners of the eye. It’s important to really blend this color well; it should give the illusion of brightness, but you don’t want to see the actual blue lines.

	Fringe Benefits For the most natural-looking lash effect, Mariana would apply 2 coats of black mascara to the top lashes only. She chose Fringe Benefits because of its lash-fortifying formula that actually fuses with your own lashes for the ultimate in length and fullness.

Lip Pencil To create a long-lasting, fuller look for your lips, Mariana recommends Betty begin by lining her lips with Origins Lip Pencil in Rust.

Lasting Lip Color As a tour guide, Betty is the one doing most of the talking. Mariana made sure to choose a lipstick that would stay on, no matter how long the trip. Lasting Lip Color not only lasts the day, but the tingling sensation of mint and the soothing effect of vitamin E make this a pampering treat for your pucker! For this look, Mariana opted for the warm russet of Terra Cotta.Origins Transforming Lip Glaze To finish the lips, Mariana loves the 3-D effects of this clear gloss; its tiny flecks of opalescent color add depth and dimension to the mouth. Betty should dab a small amount in the center of both her top and bottom lips. This will soften the tone of her lipstick and create full, pouty look. Origins Brush-On Color Mariana likes to apply cheek color last. That ensures she always applies just the right amount of color to the face. Using a blush brush, apply Brush-On Color in Sugar Cookie. Start at the apples of the cheeks and blend the color back toward the hairline, following the contour of the cheekbones.
