Make up is a product that was created by ancient Egyptians around 4000 B.C. for cosmetic and health purposes. Two of the noted purposes of makeup were to protect against the weather and better enhance their looks. Two of their major products used were Uguent (for moisturizer) and Kohl (to highlight the eye features). The Egyptians also believed it was a magical product thatwas worn to protect from the "evil eye".
KenJ Galaxy asked Industry Beauty Expert Rodney Jon to share his views on both the benefits of make up now and to come.
Rodney Jon is a firm believer in enhancing the existing beauty of women through the consistency of proper skincare regimens. When asked what was his favorite line of make up to use while working, he stated that he's not loyal to one particular brand as each one serves different purposes. While shooting on the set of Hype Hair Magazine he was afforded the opportunity to use a brand called "Young Blood". Young Blood, a paraben free cosmetic line made from organic material, that RJ feels is healthy for the skin while "it leaves a silky polished natural finish". As you may or may not know a lot of cosmetic lines use a material called Paraben which preserves shelf life and is being debated on whether or not this material is cancerous.
RJ told KJG that after years of practice and learning from some of his industry peers/mentors he offers all of his clients a session that consist of perfecting their appearance, giving their skin a healthy glow. Through consultations, he promotes the importance and proper way to achieve a "basic everyday look". This look can be accomplished, but in order to do so he gives us a list of items that should be found in your enhancement kits/make up bags. These items are; make up brushes, concealer, foundation (powder or liquid), mascara, eye liner, blush, lip gloss and primer. Primer is an item that beauty expert feels is a must have item. This product adds a perfecting finish to the skin and is to be added before the application of your foundation. Along with the primer, concealer is noted as his must have, "it instantly brightens and lifts the eye while creating a road map for your face that requires the use of less makeup", that is applied after your primer.
Rodney Jon says that there are a lot of new trends for 2012. For those of you who are being proactive in your seasonal purchase here are a few looks that stood out to RJ: a bold orange-red lip, purplish reds are a fair game, generous black eyeliner with a 60's inspired cat eye, dramatic navy eye and strong brows.
Ladies get your kits geared up and set for the now and to come!
