“It has a wonderful alluring fragrance and rich texture that makes you want to apply more, and leaves hair feeling squeaky clean, but not stripped,” said Nelson Chan, founder of Nelson j Beverly Hills. The Moisture Healing Shampoo is a 5-in-1 product that repairs damaged hair by effectively moisturizing, cleansing, and detangling hair without stripping hair of color or moisture.

And the 7-in-1 Moisture Healing Conditioner does just the same for hair by restoring moisture for normal and color-treated hair. “It’s also great for protecting

or preserving color because it does not open the cuticle, nor weigh hair down,” said Chan. The line also offers the Moisture Healing Mask, which is a deep conditioner that Chan recommends for severely damaged hair.

The hair duo comes in 3 tantalizing scents (coconut, rosemary, pomegranate) and is made without parabens, sulfates, artificial fragrances or colors. Along with that, the shampoo is safe for Keratin or Brazilian-treated hair.

As one of InStyle Magazine’s featured salons in its prestigious Black Book, a member of Allure Magazine’s Directory and voted “Best of LA” by Los Angeles Magazine, Nelson j Beverly Hills has translated its high profile hair care into a product for everyone at home.

For bold and dramatic designers such as Carolina Herrera and Zac Posen, MAC matched the 2014 runway designs with skin, eyes and lips that stood out on the runway.

For the Carolina Herrera show, Diane Kendal said MAC channeled “Classic Carolina Herrera beauty.” Dramatic Superwatt Electric Cool bronze eye shadow was smeared on the eyelids, while vibrant boysenberry-colored lipstick brought attention to the lips.

Charlotte Tilbury said the Donna Karan New York MAC look was inspired by “A woman out in a New York night.” MAC Pro Platinum Pigment made the eyes pop with dramatic metallic tones. MAC Shine Mixing Medium added shine and dimension to the models’ cheekbones.

The Ohne Titel beauty look was the “Portrait of a Woman: Futuristic feel to the skin, metallic balmy, doe-eye, eyeliner…sexy but subtle,” according to Lucia Pica. Luna Cream Colour Base created a pearlized, glossy texture to the models’ skin and eyes. Diva Lipstick was added to the lips to add a soft, sheer touch of color.

For the nails, MAC opted for “Tactile matte textures and graphic chrome lines…the nails were inspired by the use of multiple textures; synthetic and natural materials from the collection,” as told by Keri Blair. Silver and gold mylar stripping tape produced reflective chrome lines around every nail, and Matte Topcoat Studio Nail Lacquer was applied over each nail for a finishing touch.

The naturally beautiful look dominated The Row’s runway, with “Clean natural skin with a soft glow and contour” making an appearance, said Tom Pecheux. Light foundation and MAC Pro Mid-tone Sepia Cream Colour Base created a soft highlight of the cheekbones and eyes. Close to you Lipstick was applied to emphasize the understated nude look.

A theme of “Wicked nuns…pale skin with stern brows,” according to Sil Bruinsma, the Thom Browne fashion show MAC makeup look uniquely utilized white face and body foundation to create ivory skin. Meanwhile, mudged eyes with thick liner made the eyes stand out. A lightly drawn line above the eyebrows portrayed a “stern” expression for the show.

What Kabuki calls “A deconstructed take on 1940s glamour with a punk edge,” the MAC beauty look for the Zac Posen show used bright orange-red lipstick and a velvety concealer. To finish the themed look, MAC used a mascara fan brush to design an artful sweep of black horizontal lines across the eye.

Start by thinking of your face, and its shape, as a blank art canvas. To bring out your natural face shape, you have to start from scratch, creating and outline using shadowing, highlighting, and defining techniques. To get a defined, beautiful outcome, you have to showcase all the features that make you, YOU.

First, you will need some tools of the trade. A foundation that is lighter than your skin tone, foundation that is slightly darker, a concealer brush, a foundation brush, liquid bronzer, an all-over cream highlighter, flat brush for blending.

Step 1- Apply your light shade
Start by dotting on some liquid foundation that is one shade lighter than your natural skin tone in the center of your forehead, on the bridge and end of your nose, under your eyes, and beneath your bottom lip. (You will use one shade darker than your natural skin tone as well to blend them together later on.)

Step 2- Apply your dark shade
Using a foundation brush, dot on the darker foundation around your hairline, temples, the bottom of your cheekbones, and on each side of the nose to create the subtle look of depth and dimension to the areas you want to highlight.

Step 3- Blend the shades to highlight and contour the structure of your face
Mark areas that you want to contour and bring out with a liquid bronzer. (I prefer Benefit brand – Sun Beam golden bronze complexion highlighter, $26.00) Apply to the tip of your nose as well as the sides of your nose, just beneath your cheekbones, along your hairline, your temples, and your jaw-line.

Step 4- Use a highlighter to define
Use an allover cream highlighter (I prefer Benefit brand – High Beam luminescent complexion enhancer, $ 26.00) on the center of your forehead, the top of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and in the center of your chin.

Step 5 – Blend it all together.
Create an air brushed and defined look by using a flat brush to blend all highlights and contours together for a perfect look.

Who says that everyday girls like us can’t have cheekbones like a supermodel? It is all in how you do your application. And here behind the scenes, we have the secrets to share with you.
