Beauty Quickie: When it comes to testing to see if a foundation is the correct shade for you you need to remember two things:
Okay so what does your jawline and natural light have to do with choosing your foundation? You should always test out your tint of choice on your jawline in natural to ensure your makeup matches your neck. We all have seen horror story photos of women that seemed to be two different shades. Don’t be apart of the epidemic, test correctly and your makeup will blend naturally.
Celebrity makeup artist, AJ Crimson, is the innovator and creator behind a new line of cosmetics that is set to become the makeup of makeup artists the world over. We recently had the privilege of attending a mixer hosted by AJ Crimson and the good people over at Beauty Frends in regards to the new brand. We were instantly blown away during Crimson’s makeup demonstration. Here’s why:
*BB Cream and Foundation shades literally cover ALL skin tones. Many lines make this claim, but AJ’s makeup is bar none in this area. Whether your skin tone is closer to Tyra Banks or Alek Wek you will find the tint that matches you perfectly.
*You don’t need a whole bunch of products to highlight, contour or add color to your eyes and cheeks. You can just use AJ’s foundations to achieve a “beat” face.
*Used to having to set your makeup before you can walk away from the mirror? This step is no longer necessary, just apply and go.
*The model during the demo had tattoos and Crimson’s foundation made them disappear, like POOF, gone. Even up close you would never think any tattoos had previously been there (see picture below). Just think what that means if you are needing to cover some sort of blemish or acne. It will literally disappear before your eyes.
*You no longer have to look like a cake face to look flawless. AJ’s makeup ensures that you achieve a glowing, natural look.
