Professional Makeup Tips from ARTISTRY


ARTISTRY*, the prestige skincare and makeup brand of Amway, is awesome. We adore Artistry's Light Up Lip Glossavailable in several shimmery, neutral shades. And with the appointment of Rick DiCecca as its Global Makeup Artist, Artistry just became even more luxe.  

Me with Artistry Global Makeup Artist, Rick DiCecca.
During Fashion Week, Everything She Wants luxuriated (as Wendy Williams would say) in the Artistry Beauty Lounge, where we received a skincare analysis (a tailored product regimen based our analysis just arrived in the mail...we’ll start with the Artistry Essentials Balancing Cleanser, Balancing Toner and Balancing Lotion), and we were pampered with a soothing mini-facial (thanks, Eden) and an expert makeover by Mr. DiCecca.

A great mascara tip the veteran makeup artist -- who has worked with Estee Lauder and primped a host of celebs including Heidi Klum, Cindy Crawford and Iman – shared is to first flutter the mascara on the top of your lashes and then bounce it under the lashes.

Here are more makeup tips from Artistry pros that will help update your look:

1) Prevent eyeliner from slipping and fading quickly by tracing your eye pencil line with a matching shade of powder eye colour.

2) Trace along your lashline with eye shadow instead of pencil for soft emphasis.

3) Create a bit of glimmer around the eyes by using a dot of light, shimmery eye colour at the tear duct of the eyes and then blending. This also widens the eyes.

4) Apply cheek colour using the flat side of the brush bristles instead of the tips. This technique gives you more control and allows you to carefully, gradually build up your colour.

5) Avoid patchy, uneven blush application by first setting your skin with translucent powder.

6) Apply colour only to the apples of the cheeks for a modern approach to cheek colour.

 *ARTISTRY is sold exclusively by Amway representatives in over 55 countries across the country.
