Dash of Fashion: Phoenix Bride and Groom magazine

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Sometimes magazines ask me for my thoughts on products or on upcoming trends in beauty and makeup.  I invariably forget to repost the articles on my blog, This week <a href="http://www.phoenixbrideandgroom.com/blog/wedding-trends-fall-winter-2014-makeup-trends">Phoenix Bride and Groom Magazine</a> published a story about  Bridal Makeup Trends for Fall 2014, and featured me in it. The information is relevant both for girls having a fall wedding, and for girls who just enjoy makeup.  <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_obayP1LDLA4ENcl315cs60l8scVnI3GSgNVeKYbWk6B-bJJOVbZ9YDytkz0lbI4GG8MGXwQUsajCJFCfbMmtx1GgSCv4wIgPcySrZs4v2215s7LLrf90xIE6aqt29DB6s6s-hw71_s/s1600/PHXBG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Bridal-Makeup-Trends-Fall-2014-Phoenix-Bride-and-Groom-Magazine" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_obayP1LDLA4ENcl315cs60l8scVnI3GSgNVeKYbWk6B-bJJOVbZ9YDytkz0lbI4GG8MGXwQUsajCJFCfbMmtx1GgSCv4wIgPcySrZs4v2215s7LLrf90xIE6aqt29DB6s6s-hw71_s/s1600/PHXBG.jpg" title="Bridal-Makeup-Trends-Fall-2014-Phoenix-Bride-and-Groom-Magazine" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">makeup touchups during a Phoenix Bride and Groom Magazine photoshoot</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Here is an excerpt from the article:</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">What are the makeup trends for Fall and Winter 2014 weddings?</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Corinna Cooke:</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">-Metallic eye shadows are huge for Fall 2014. Stay away from silvers and greys – they can make the skin look cold and can enhance any under eye discoloration you may be wanting to disguise! Opt instead for universally flattering shades of bronze and soft champagne golds.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">-Eyes are well defined for fall, and this season they are featuring lots of lashes.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">-Skin is glowing for fall winter 2014, so get facials and keep your complexion both exfoliated and hydrated, and use a silicone based foundation such as Makeup Forever HD Foundation or Face Atelier Ultra Foundation to keep the skin looking alive and vibrant.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">What about wedding day do’s and don’ts? </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Corinna Cooke:</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Make up do’s for your wedding day: make sure your skin is super hydrated before you put makeup on. Drink tons of water in the days leading up to your wedding, and that morning apply moisturizer liberally, giving it at least 30 minutes to soak in before you put on primer and foundation.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Makeup dont’s: Don’t use a lipstick shade that is paler than your own lip color – it will look chalky and unflattering to both your lips and your skin tone. </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Also don’t use Bronzer as a contour product. Bronzer is designed to make your face look like it has been in the sun, and as such is reflective. It will also make your skin look muddy. Contour products are made up of black and grey and are designed to absorb light. Try Makeup Forever Sculpting Kit for a perfect contour.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Follow Corinna on <a href="https://twitter.com/Corinnamakeup">Twitter</a><a href="https://twitter.com/Corinnamakeup" style="color: #333333;">,</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Corinna-B/276301956914" style="font-weight: lighter; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Facebook </a>and her <a href="http://corinnabsworld.blogspot.com/" style="color: #8985a6; font-weight: lighter; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">blog</a>; check out her blog post and video about bronzing- it’s a must see!<a href="https://www.blogger.com/goog_521783975"> </a><a href="http://corinnabsworld.blogspot.com/2011/05/bronzer-101.html">http://corinnabsworld.blogspot.com/2011/05/bronzer-101.html</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </div>Read the full article <a href="http://www.phoenixbrideandgroom.com/blog/wedding-trends-fall-winter-2014-makeup-trends">here</a></div>

Bridal Makeup Trends For Fall 2014

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Its wedding season again! <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmeMAIFoYM5bSTTY9rRY9EdZC7x9FjbvpwklXrsRCM1hyphenhyphenpHx5pkiCjb6-xyZibd7d9bWwhYohFrwCjwppDoZaF4I3F9FiMwrsUtlfO11OGvaOlVGUpgayQzbRYkvY-m4b98fkph12RnR0/s1600/PWS13Cover-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmeMAIFoYM5bSTTY9rRY9EdZC7x9FjbvpwklXrsRCM1hyphenhyphenpHx5pkiCjb6-xyZibd7d9bWwhYohFrwCjwppDoZaF4I3F9FiMwrsUtlfO11OGvaOlVGUpgayQzbRYkvY-m4b98fkph12RnR0/s640/PWS13Cover-1.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">image by Sarah Hagerty</td></tr></tbody></table> Recently I worked on a wedding where one of the (out of town) bridesmaids came down with a seething dose of heat rash. Of course it had to be across her throat, chest and upper arms, and of course  the bridesmaids were wearing strapless dresses, leaving her nowhere to hide the telltale red blotches.  <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTiHGJns-MSzy73n_K14ZVXWmi1yYUyRJ7JtjxALRc4_qIXWxvMLR3p8Q7oipxEhVwLgzXMEhR9MWYRvKvYEXZ35_ghp62Tiiyk91Ncf8WoXiaDs-8mdVU0-LDz80TAE2UOB9M2hStIKc/s1600/about-the-cover-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTiHGJns-MSzy73n_K14ZVXWmi1yYUyRJ7JtjxALRc4_qIXWxvMLR3p8Q7oipxEhVwLgzXMEhR9MWYRvKvYEXZ35_ghp62Tiiyk91Ncf8WoXiaDs-8mdVU0-LDz80TAE2UOB9M2hStIKc/s640/about-the-cover-001.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">image by Holly Schumacher for Phoenix Bride and Groom Magazine</td></tr></tbody></table> That got me thinking that throughout the summer girls everywhere will be getting married/being in bridal parties, and should this happen to them, they may need a quick fix. Now in this case our bridesmaid had already been through hair and makeup, so the first course of action - a cold shower- wasn't an option, so we soaked towels in icy cold water, wrung them out so that they weren't dripping wet, and laid them over the areas covered in rash. (Obviously she didn't have her bridesmaid dress on at the time) If cold showers/cold compresses don't have a medicinal benefit, they at least cool down some of the firey redness, and reduce some of the blotchiness. If you do shower, be super careful when towel drying. Rubbing the skin can just agitate it. Next up, a staple in my makeup kit is <a href="http://www.hylunia.com/products/face-care/facial-toners/colloidal-silver-with-lavender-floral-water">Hylunia Colloidal Silver</a> Spray. I use this on any and all skin irritations, and it miraculously seems to heal all.  I've used it on models who have had the worst wax burns you have ever seen, sun burn, wind burn, everything you can imagine. The stuff is magic.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9AXSKEzo6lJ4V4WbBuNNVhBbN81XhFuuEY-6QogOptex4da73VJRJEwrBi-7CPlCPW2xZT0nkZ1ILXsEoOlezFlFr8O7DB_7KWgix2fAFF898RD6VEDqI9UgXUdYl0YGfKfWWIepRJo/s1600/Hagerty-Photography_1-650x433.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9AXSKEzo6lJ4V4WbBuNNVhBbN81XhFuuEY-6QogOptex4da73VJRJEwrBi-7CPlCPW2xZT0nkZ1ILXsEoOlezFlFr8O7DB_7KWgix2fAFF898RD6VEDqI9UgXUdYl0YGfKfWWIepRJo/s320/Hagerty-Photography_1-650x433.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">there I am working away on a Phoenix Bride and Groom Magazine shoot</td></tr></tbody></table> Normally I will do 3 or 4 applications of colloidal silver spray, allowing it to air dry in between.  If there is no Colloidal Silver spray on hand I reach for hydrocortisone cream.  The last part of the equation, which may have verity, or may just be a placebo, is to drink icy cold water or sweet tea. Something about cooling you down from the inside and the outside at the same time seems to help enormously. I'm convinced that soda just makes anything worse, so avoid the colas and other soft drinks. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO5DsJTp73dXwN96uBW0ZVAwBKYnt4pgDdre4D56jlNS6Z3MSOkSdDvZ_BuDXFjmihiIun3yTqz2z63cxleKDjz_iR5dL65WKYPqEjlw5FzvDV4wwAO6xFOmdW-SqMTvvfTVXiOztOtfk/s1600/435506630_640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO5DsJTp73dXwN96uBW0ZVAwBKYnt4pgDdre4D56jlNS6Z3MSOkSdDvZ_BuDXFjmihiIun3yTqz2z63cxleKDjz_iR5dL65WKYPqEjlw5FzvDV4wwAO6xFOmdW-SqMTvvfTVXiOztOtfk/s1600/435506630_640.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Phoenix Bride and Groom magazine</td></tr></tbody></table> One last note on summer weddings: if you are getting married on a warm day, or if you are in a mid-summer wedding, pack a small bottle of either baby powder or Gold Bond powder.  Thighs chafing together under those dresses can be misery. I can't even tell you how many travel sized bottles of baby powder/Gold Bond have exited my kit to stay with the bridal party over the years!
