In June, we ran a contest asking our partners to send us their best look featuring makeup from the Cool Beauty Collection. We got many fabulous photos, all of which are posted on our
Facebook fan page. We were thrilled by the diversity of the entries, showing how many totally different looks can be achieved with these products; and also how creative people can get with our makeup! It was very difficult to choose, but finally the top three picks were made by Jane and our team of National Makeup Artist/Educators. First Place went to Camillia Rodio of Vancouver Washington:
To create this dramatic look, Camillia used
Absence Oil Control Primer followed by
PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation in
Bisque. On the eyes she used the
Azure PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple with the aqua hue on the eye lid and underneath rounding the corners of the eyes, and
24-Karat Gold Dustin
Aquamarine.
Parfait PurePressed Blush flushed the cheeks. For the lips she used
Erin PureMoist Lipstick topped with
Cosmo PureGloss Lip Gloss. Second place went to Larissa Keeney of the Sandpearl Resort & Spa in Clearwater Florida.
