Our friends (and San Francisco neighbors) at Benefit Cosmetics recently peeked inside their favorite makeup artists’ makeup bags—and found a lot of fun, alternative uses for their top-selling products. I had to share these new “ah-ha!” ideas:Carmindy, reality TV makeup artist:
“For fuller looking lips, dab a bit of Eyebright pencil on the cupid’s bow of the upper lip and on the center under the lower lip… be sure to blend!”
Nicole Bryl, entertainment tv makeup artist:
“I can’t live without my Color Plump pencil in Yoo Hoo… I use it as a shimmery glow on cheeks and eyes—the creamy formula doesn’t dry out your face, or crease on the eyelids.”
Joe J. Simon, celebrity makeup artist:
"A trick I use to make a wide or crooked nose look slimmer and straighter is to draw a subtle line down the bridge of the nose with High Beam liquid highlighter (remember to tap it in so you don't see the line!). It really works!"
Jennifer Turchi, prime time makeup artist:
“I use Georgia powder on everyone. It’s also a great tool to combat "raccoon" eyes. After using a light concealer to cover dark circles, sweep Georgia under the eyes to bring the color back to natural! It’s also perfect on the eyelids to blend strong color eye shadows.”
Sara Glick, top magazine makeup artist:
“Boi-ing concealer gives smooth texture and great coverage that doesn’t cake or crease. For more sheer coverage, mix it with any moisturizer, and for an evening look try mixing Boi-ing with a highlighter.”
Margot Boccia, Hollywood makeup artist:
“For a great foundation, mix You Rebel tinted moisturizer with a liquid highlighter. Try using it on just the cheekbones or on the lids as a shadow.”
Arianne Damboise, Benefit national makeup artist:
“Use Glamazon as a contour to create bone structure. Brush the sheer bronze tint under cheek bones to give lift, down your nose and even along your jaw line to create a slimming effect.”
