Permanently Beautiful

According to international celebrity makeup artist Claudio Riaz who counts among his clients Nicole Kidman, Hilary Duff and Jennifer Aniston, the five most common makeup mistakes women make are:

1. Overdone bronzer and blush
2. Wrong foundation tone
3. Clumpy mascara
4. Overdrawn lips
5. Incorrectly used eyeliner and concealer

Incorrectly, inexpertly or too heavily applied makeup can not only leave you with a less than polished appearance, it can also add years to your face. But even if correctly applied, using the wrong color of foundation or concealer can have disastrous results. Foundation should be applied with a very light touch and match your skin color as perfectly as possible. Your concealer shade should be just slightly lighter than the shade of your foundation and should be applied with a light touch. Using a cream blush instead of powdered blush will create a flattering, subtle glow instead of overdone clown cheeks.

The best way to avoid common makeup mistakes is with permanent makeup expertly applied by nationally renowned permanent makeup artist Melany Whitney. The added advantage of permanent cosmetics is that small flaws can be permanently corrected during the paramedical tattooing process. Lip lines can be made fuller and more symmetrical. Eyebrows can be filled in and feathered, and brow lines artfully curved. Thin lashes can be made to appear fuller. With permanent makeup you don’t have to worry about makeup faux pas. You can have the confidence that comes with knowing that your makeup is always perfect.
