RealStyleNetwork Add Comment Copy Rihanna’s Interesting Hairstyle Updo 05/13/2012
 Rihanna stunned at the 2012 Met Gala this past weekend, but her black crocodile style Tom Ford dress wasn’t all that had people talking. Rihanna’s choice of hair, an updo of separated bunches, also saw reaction. Rihanna chose to separate her hair into two sections, one high atop her head and one brushed to the left. The sections were then loosely put into buns, creating some high impact hair. The daring choice of up-do allowed the singer to show off her equally bold shaved section of hair as well as the dramatic low back of her Tom Ford dress.

8 Hairstyles for Spring 2012 New Dimensional Hair Color 09/12/2011
 Dimensional hair color with a twist! During my years of working behind the chair in the salon, I’ve learned hair and fashion should always complement one another but recently a new approach to dimensional hair coloring has altered my thinking. Dimensional haircolor is offering new twists and turns that are stirring up the pot, making hair color extremely exciting! Dimensional hair color has made significant shifts recently. The range of end results still span from classy to funky, but the quality of inconsistency is an unexpected look to modern hair color, similar to the miss-match of fashion in recent years. Today, in fashion as well as in hair color, expected color coordination just doesn’t look modern. To illustrate this, imagine a red-headed woman, wearing a taupe colored suit, carrying a rich green colored handbag. Not matchy-matchy right? The bright green is the “surprise” element. As a make-up artist as well as a hair colorist, I take complementary color very seriously and I love this fresh, new creative theme about dimensional hair color happening today. Everyone can get a custom look with a twist — fabulous! In my earlier salon days, hair color was applied in a neat, proper, organized manner without any surprises. Surprises were considered “bad.” Now, I intentionally add the element of surprise, depending of course on the personal taste of the client in the chair. I can also use a more subtle approach to a client’s dimensional color. She may not be able to identify what is different, but knows that something has changed about her hair color that makes it new and exciting. Making hair color changes more vibrant and dynamic is vital to anyone spending time and money in the salon. Even the most conservative clients like change once in a while, even if it’s a tiny bit every now and then. This can be done with one all-over color or with highlights/lowlights. Whether doing dimensional hair color, changing a client from brown to blonde or blonde to brunette, covering grey hair or doing corrective coloring, the results with new haircoloringtechniques just keeps getting better and better. I love what I do and I’m more excited doing hair color now than ever!

Website : BeautybyNaomi.net A Professional Makeup Artist has become an essential part of the modern brides' entourage, so investing in a good photographer is not the only way to achieve amazing photos. Having the right Makeup Artist using skilled techniques and innovative products also plays an important role in creating the beautiful photographs that you will treasure forever. An Airbrush makeup application is the only choice for that special occasion when you need to look stunning and not worry about your makeup streaking, fading or wearing off. HOW IS AIRBRUSH MAKEUP DIFFERENT? Traditional foundations can look obvious, caked-on or thick and always feel like you are wearing makeup. Airbrush makeup leaves a light, seamless veil of color over the skin, creating the illusion of a perfect face because it is misted on, allowing your true skin tone to show through without masking your face. The ability to mix Airbrush foundation colors for individual custom blends is unsurpassed, resulting in a more natural look that covers skin imperfections effortlessly. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AIRBRUSH MAKEUP? Since Airbrush makeup is water-resistant, perspiration and tears are no longer a cosmetic problem. Simply blotting, not wiping, away any moisture will leave the Airbrush makeup in place without a streak. With over 18 hours of wear, Airbrush makeup will not fade or rub off on clothes, but yet can be easily washed away with facial cleanser. Once Airbrush makeup is sprayed on, it dries instantly to a matte finish and does not require powder or re-applying at any time. WILL AIRBRUSH MAKEUP LOOK NATURAL IN PICTURES AND ON VIDEO? Airbrush makeup has been used for over twenty-five years in the movie, media and entertainment industry because of its versatility to create the right look on and off camera. It is able to appear natural looking in person, on screen and in print because it eliminates shine and provides the right amount of coverage without all the traditional makeup layers. Photographers can digitally airbrush photos to conceal imperfections, while Airbrush makeup can give you that same flawless complexion with one application. CAN AIRBRUSH MAKEUP COVER ANY SKIN IMPERFECTION? The wide range of colors and the Airbrush technique allow the artist to cover virtually any skin imperfection effortlessly. Bruises, birthmarks, tan lines, Rosacea, Psoriasis, Vitiligio, tattoos, scars and even freckles can be camouflaged completely or significantly improved in appearance, while still looking natural. IS AIRBRUSH MAKEUP RIGHT FOR EVERYONE? Women of any age can benefit from an Airbrush makeup application. Even men can enjoy the benefits when traditional makeup would have never been an option. Airbrush makeup is hypoallergenic, oil and alcohol free, so it's safe for even the most sensitive skin, no matter what age or condition. FEATURES OF AIRBRUSH MAKEUP
