12 Hacks Priscilla Ono Has In Her Beauty Kit That Give Clients The VIP Treatment

in

@bufferingbetty

Not one of them is actually makeup!

As the Global Makeup Artist for Fenty Beauty and Rihanna’s makeup artist, Priscilla Ono has to be prepared for anything while on set. Via Instagram story, Ono shared some of the tools in her treasure box - we mean, makeup skit. Of course, Fenty Beauty on tap was to be expected, but butt wipes?! Let’s dive into this kit!

Who else is excited for the release of Fenty’s new foundation!!!

 
 

What we expect to find in a make up artist’s kit:

 
 

All we know is:

Priscilla Ono is a wonderfully talented artist. So if she’s got it in her kit, all aspiring MUAs should take note.

1. Breath refreshments!

Mints. Honestly, it’s so obvious, we’re mad we didn’t think of it. Think of how close a makeup artist can get to a client’s face. Now image if the client had a seafood lunch. Prscilla says she keeps vairous flavors in her kit to have her clients’ preferences on hand.

Mints →

2. Toothpicks

“Because people gotta eat and you can’t have your clients have things in their teeth.” We’re learning so much in this Instagram story. Did you know there was such a thing as flavored toothpicks!? We did not!

Cinnamon Toothpicks →

 
 

3. “Butt Wipes”

“Gotta have the butt being fresh.” This one probably isn’t necessarily for a client, and Ono didn’t offer any beauty tips with this one, but we’re guessing if the artist is feeling fresh and clean, their work will be too.

Butt wipes →

 
 

4. Privacy, please!

While we’re on the subject, this Poo-Pourri will let you go confidently without fear of an odor fallout.

Poo-Pourri →

5. Foot Wipes

For shoots where the model is barefoot. If your client missed a pedicure and it shows, these wipes have a quick way to exfoliate the feet.

Foot Wipes →

 
 

6. Shot Wipes

“Because sometimes accidents happen. You don’t want body makeup staining the clothes.” She’s got every wipe you can think of.

Shot Wipes →

 
 

7. Soap Sheets

The most important skill any makeup artist must master is cleanliness! Washing your hands and tools is a must. These are single use hand soaps! Priscilla says that she often finds that on set that there is running water but no soap. She wants her hands to be clean when she starts working. Prepared for anything is the theme here. Her compact is from Japan but the link below is close enough.

Soap Sheets →

8. Vick’s VapoRub but Fashion

“Like Vaporub in oil form.” She uses this essential oil to apply to pressure points to cool down in hot climents.

Olba’s Oil →

 
 

9. Single Use eye Drops

Soothe eyes without fear of contamination! “Just tear one off and give it to your client.”

Individual Eye Drops →

10. Spa Towels

“I like to put these in ice buckets when it’s really hot [to] cool down my client’s neck. Or you can put them in the microwave to warm them up on a cold day.” They’re individually wrapped towels that are damp and have essential oils. VIP treatment just became spa treatment.

Towels →

11. Fan

Because when it’s hot, you can’t have your models sweating!

Fan →

12. No Spill Makeup Remover

Fill empty lipgloss tubes with a makeup remover. Makes it one step, compact, and even more handy

Empty Lipgloss tube →

Go Forth and Blend!

The ‘Worst Rated Makeup Artist In My City’ Challenge Is The Greatest Thing The Beauty Community Has Given Us

in

@bufferingbetty

It’s Worse Than You Think.

Finding a makeup artist that can make you feel Red Carpet ready is not easy. Are they professional, can they match my complexion, do they neglect their brush cleanings like I do? These are all questions we ask when we need to find an artist. But the internet threw that out the window. They searched review sites for the worst rated makeup artist in their city and VOLUNTARILY chose, and paid, to have their makeup done by people with the lowest ratings.

Oh. It’s a big thing right now!

My favorite thus far comes to us from vlogger Daisy Kaur.

I’ve subtly blocked the artist face with this barely noticable sun sticker from giphy.

The artist told Daisy she’s been doing makeup for 9 years. With that kind of resume it should all go well, right?

Throughout the video, Daisy’s artist keeps leaving her. Just a few seconds after the artist begins, she asks Daisy if it’s ok if she goes to make a phone call. Pretty unprofessional. If the artist had gotten in a call, that’s one thing I would be ok with. But to interrupt your client’s time to go make a phone call. No. No.

The train was derailing from the moment the artist began using a base color that was too light to Daisy’s face.

She interrupts the makeup application several times. It was so cringy. I think maybe she was running off watching a few clips of a makeup tutorial to finish the application!

The eye shadow is when the derailed train fully combusted. At first, I thought this eyeshadow technique was a the artist giving herself a guideline, but it was not.

I’m sorry but I could not stop myself from laughing.

But then. I. Got. Angry. The most important skill a makeup artist must have from my consumer/client opinion is cleanliness! I don’t care if you can make me look like Salma Hayek for a few hours if you’re going to give me a rash or something worse!

This artist straight up applied the gloss to Daisy’s lips from the tube. The wand from the tube went on to Daisy’s lips! A communial WAND! I was screaming. Oh that’s just nasty.

When applying your makeup, there is always a moment when it looks a little crazy where you think it’d be best if you just wash your face and start over. And, because I like give people a chance, I thought, maybe the artist could pull it together in the end. It would just need some final touhes and look great. That didn’t happen.

Ya’ll Daisy paid for a middle aged woman to play ‘makeup artist’ on her face. She paid to potentially contract something from that gloss!.

Daisy did an update at the end of her video where she says her eye were itching and she was having from sort of reaction on her lips.

She said the makeup smelled old and that brushes were scratchy. Girl, yes. We could see that from our screens at home.

Naomi Campbell Made A Makeup Tutorial And Now Every Internet Beauty Guru Has Some Explaining To Do

in

@bufferingbetty

First Step: Be Naomi Campbell

Nothing speaks to the power of Youtube like the trend of celebrities creating their own lifestyle vlog channels. J.Lo, Adrienne Bailon, Shay Mitchell, and, now, Naomi Campbell. This supermodel gave us selfie models the deets to her quick makeup routine and -just, wow. Thank you.

First off, Ms. Campbell starts the video with her immaculate bare skin -the woman has no need for makeup. Makeup needs Naomi. After years of getting her makeup done by the industry’s best, of course Naomi has picked up a few tricks along the way.

“My quick 5 minutes -er, no.. my quick few minutes makeup”

With her skin looking like hydration is thristy, she begins with some concealer to highlight her T-zone.

 

NARS
Soft Matte Complete Concealer

 

“Highlighting the T-zone is always important”

“I love using these [triangles]. They lay flat and dont apply too much [product].”

Throw out your beauty blender, folks, and get you a big pack of wedges!

 

FantaSea
Latex Free Foam Wedges

 

Naomi’s look was all about highlighting her bone structure and keeping the look as minmal as possible.

“i dont really where base on my forehead because I want to look like I dont really have anything on.”

For this look, instead of apply foundation all over the face, use a highlighting concealer on the center of your face and blend outward.

Pause. Can you believe she just has concealer in the center of her face??? The woman is just stunning.

Concealer. Contour. Blush. Boom. Naomi Campbell.

 

NARS
Contour Blush in Gienah

 

One of the biggest takeaways from this tut is that we all need to scrap how we’ve been applying blush. Naomi prefers “high blush.” Apply your blush to high part of you cheek rather than the apple.

“High blush not low blush. I dont like to apply blush on low cheeks. I think looks like clowny and takes away from the bone structure”

 

NARS
Blush in Geity

 

She blended the highlight and blush shade from the NARS cheek palette for highlight.

Nars
Man Ray The Veil Cheek Palette

She finished the look with some brightening powder under her eyes.

 

NARS
Soft Velvet Pressed Powder in Mountain

 

And threw on the tinyest bit of purple eye shadow. She used the darkest shade from this palette and did a wash of color.

“Purple is my favorite color”

 

NARS
Quad Eyeshadow in Tropical Express

 

She shared that when she was younger, NARS Honolulu Honey was her favorite lipstick.

NARS
Satin Lipstick in Honolulu Honey

“After years of sitting in a chair for so many hours, when I do it, it has to be a minute thing.”

She skipped mascara entirely because her lash extensions were so beautiful and she said she doesn’t really wear mascara.

She likes a ‘pinky’ lip and blended these two glosses together.

NARS
Lip Gloss in Sexual Conduct

NARS
Lip Gloss in Outrage

There were a few moments where our hearts dropped. To remove the excess powder, Naomi Campbell kept blowing on her brushes!

What is happening!

 
 

But don’t you dare come for Naomi.

Everyone was just honored to be here, honestly.

Facts. We’ve been played. Stop using 600 products to get the same results as Naomi’s look.

^^^AGREE^^^
Naomi doesn’t need a lot of anything.

KKW Body Foundation Changed This Woman's Life And Shut Down Haters On Twitter

in

@bufferingbetty

So many feels!

KKW Beauty released a body foundation and, as goes everything with the notorious Kardashian family, there was drama. Everyone had a strong opinion to share. But one influencer had a story about her mom that made Twitter take a seat and actually listen.

 
 

Katrina is a beauty blogger (@treeeenz) who wanted her followers to know exactly why the KKW Skin Perfecting Body Foundation deserved some love and support.

 
 

On Twitter, Katrina shared this photo of her mom’s legs. One leg has had the KKW Body foundation applied to it while the other leg is red and has discoloration.

 
 

“this is why i bought my mom the @kkwbeauty body foundation. with my mom’s sickness, she developed a skin condition and she’s been so embarrassed to even wear shorts or dresses out in public. she got so extremely happy after i applied the body foundation and i’m so emotional rn” @treeeenz

“

“this is why i was getting so angry about everyone who was saying this was a stupid product. please be mindful that not everyone has perfect skin/legs/etc. i can’t wait to take my mom out this summer and her not being self conscious about her illness”

She got many replies to her tweet supporting her. Some even shared their own insecurities.

Others, not so much.

I could see this having some truth. But I wonder if this person has an issue with the whole beauty industry?

I think this is a great concept. KKW Beauty is hardly the first brand to release body foundation. I remember as a teen when my mom came home with a body foundation to cover her vericose veins. I didn’t think she needed it but that’s not for me to decide.

While I see the point about “promoting unrealistic standards of perfection” from the whole beauty industry, not just the Kardashians, I think a lot of people are missing a point. Choice + growth. Choose to wear whatever you want. My mom chose to wear makeup on her legs in the summer. And eventually, she got tired of applying foundation to her legs are learned to accept them. The process of covering up her legs, made her engaged with them more and I think that is how she got over that insecurity. I haven’t heard my mom talk about how her veins look in years. Hopefully, Katrina’s mom goes through that same growth. And even if she continues to cover her legs, it is her choice. Respect that.

We don’t want to spend a single extra minute worrying about perfect blending when their are weekend carnivals with our names all over them. What caught my eye, was the fact that this new Colourpop release included colors that looked like some of my favorite Fenty Beauty Shimmer Stix shades! I found Colourpop matches for almost all of the Fenty Shimmer Stix. The only one left out was Blondie.

The Only Kylie Skin Review You Need: Michelle Phan Came Back To Save Us From Ourselves

in

Does Kylie Skin meet Michelle Phan’s standards?

Like a gaurdian angel watching the mayham about Kylie Skin unfold, Michelle Phan swooped back on to youtube to give beauty lovers a protecting voice. She guest starred in a ‘first impressions’ type of video on beauty influencer, Promise Tamang’s Youtube channel, Dope2111, to test out Kylie’s new skincare line.

 
 

It started with the announcement of a walnut scrub. That was the moment the internet beauty world erupted and started side-eyeing the release of baby Jenner’s skincare line. We all could see the release of Kylie Skin coming. We could have even predicted the twitter + meme circus that would come with it; for there rarely is a moment involving the Kardashian-Jenner clan that is unaccompanied by a social media tornado. Love them or hate them, the reality TV family is everywhere and so are their products. The hype could temp you to give them a try.

The OBG: Original Beauty Guru

 
 

Anyone who was a teenager in 2007 has seen a Michelle Phan beauty tutorial on Youtube. She turned her hobby into a business and now she owns her own beauty line, Em Cosmetics, and beauty subscription service, Ipsy Beauty!

The 32 year-old team up with her sister-in-law / beauty influencer, Promise Tamang, to spill all the tea about Kylie Skin and

if the walnut scrub will be scratching up our faces.

 
 

Promise Tamang is an incredibly talented artist who can change her face into almost anything!

 
 

No, seriously! It took me a minute to figure out which face was actually hers while scrolling through her IG.

 
 

They put their skin on the line to test it out.

Not all heroines wear capes!

Promise purchased the collection herself for $125 which she and Michelle both deemed a “fair” or “average” price for a full skincare routine.

 
 

When you and your bestie plan DIY facials together:

Each peice was tested and given a review based on how each of their faces felt in the moment.

 
 

The Foaming Face Wash:

Michelle: “Doesn’t feel that nourishing. Actually feels pretty drying as I’m washing this off. At the end of the day, you don’t want to buy the packaging or buy the hype. You want to buy a product that’s gonna work for you.” She also thought it would be better with teenagers with more oily skin.

Promise: “Not a velvety foam. It takes off like 80% of the makeup. It’s good but it’s not going to replace any of the cleansers I’m using now.”

 
 

The reason you’re here!

 
 

The Walnut Face Scrub:

Michelle: “It’s very finely milled. It’s not as bad as I thought it was, actually. But would I buy this for myself, no. I just think (physical exfoliants are) a dated formula.”

Promise: “I just feel like it’s not safe so I wouldn’t recommend for people to use this. Walnut scrubs are just a ‘no’ for me.“

 
 

The Vanilla Milk Toner

Michelle: “I don’t like fragrance in my skincare. So far this is my favorite product.”

Promise: “This feels really nice on the skin.”

Both were glad to see the left over makeup removed from their faces after cleansing and exfoliating.

The Vitamin C Serum

 
 

Michelle: “It’s OK. It’s not bad. It’s not the worst thing in the world but it’s not the best thing in the world either.”

Promise: “It’s a tad bit sticky but it’s good.”

The Face Moisturizer

 
 

Michelle: “Love the packaging. A little comes out [of the pump]; I like that. I like it more than the serum. It’s definitely the strongest [of the collection]”

Promise: “it’s nice and thick. I think it’s good.”

The Eye Cream

Michelle: “If you have sensitive skin, for sure you’re going to feel [the minty-ness]. Not bad.”

Promise: “There is a light bit of minty-ness. I think it’s good. I like the eye cream. I would say it feels like a nice eye cream”

Overall Thoughts

Michelle: “Could be better. If this was the first time I was getting into skin care, [this collection] is not a bad entry way. I do feel like there are other products that are much cheaper that are more effective. But you have to do extra research … if you want something easy, this is a nice way” to get started with skincare.

And we have a Neon Summer Ahead!

Summer beauty release have stolen our wallets year after year. 2019 is no different. What is different are the releases! Neon, bold, and beautiful. The beauty industry is growing. It feels like everyday there is a new brand that maybe doesn’t actually offer anything that is actually new. So these brands stepped their game up to put out some palettes + lippies that will jump off the screen and into your vanity.

Inc.Redible x BaddieWinkle

 
 

Remember Miley’s twerk + raver days. OK, now imagine Miley was 90 years old. That is instagramer @Baddiewinkle in a nutshell (without all the cultural appropriation).

 

The nearly 91 year old influencer has partnered with Inc.Redible for a 3 piece collab that include a boobie mask! Her IG bio says “stealing your man since 1928,” and I believe her.

5 Natural Deodorants That Are Must Haves For Summer 2019

in

Written by Pepper B


I am not the only one who can feel the transition in the weather! FINALLY! I mean it’s only been winter and spring for a year. When it comes to natural deodorant I in the past for me either we don’t agree, they don't last and I smell crazy or they burn my under arms. At first I struggled with getting discoloration under my arms ! Yikes! Normally discoloration under the arms comes from the baking soda found in a lot of popular natural deodorants it was a horrible process! also scary. Moving past discoloration and testing different types I found one that really worked for me. I’ve finally gotten past the detoxing process. When using natural deodorant after transitioning from normal types you may notice you perspire a lot more in the beginning.

Week two after detoxing from regular deodorant is the most difficult you may feel as if the product doesn't last and you smell worse. As the weeks process you will notice that your body starts to adjust. Allow a full 30 days for your underarms to completely detox!


Here is my list below I have tested each one in various settings and I approve these for summer.

Side note for the past few months i’ve been using Kopari & I LOVE IT!

Beauty Horoscope: Gemini 2019

Gemini

The twins are in rare form lately. You can feel your growth but you’re losing patience with yourself. Step back and count the actual number of your goals. You can achieve them all . Just not all at once. Your divided attention means you aren’t focused so you’ll miss something. Take a deep breath and cool down.
