Berry Basics Article by Meghan Morelli

Berry-stained lips are the look to love this fall and winter. But getting this classic look right takes a little know-how. From gloss to matte, from bright to vampy, there are plenty of choices that can leave you so flummoxed you’ll be reaching for your Chapstick out of sheer confusion.
Stop. There is a better way.
“In choosing a berry lipstick or gloss,” says beauty expert and entrepreneur, Gail Sagel, “think light, medium or dark as a rule of thumb. The lightest amount of berry can be achieved in a berry-colored lip gloss.” Gail knows what she’s talking about. As the proprietor of Westport’s beauty mecca, Faces Beautiful, it’s her job to make women gorgeous.  “A medium berry-color would be a lipstick sheen, which is more color, more body than a lip gloss. For a dark lip, I’d choose a stain or a berry matte lipstick. And there is a general rule of thumb: If your skin is light, opt for a berry color in a lip gloss. For medium skin, look for a lipstick that is creamy and moist. And, if your skin is dark, find a berry matte or a berry stain that offers full and long lasting coverage. But, if you’re going for a bold, dramatic look – then throw out all of the rules of light and medium!”

So, here’s the deal. Small metal particles come into contact with your skin, like iron, magnesium, copper etc… These metals congest and irritate your skin and leave it dull besides.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Firming Hydra Pure Eye Cream

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Firming Hydra Pure Eye Cream – What makes a great eye cream?

What makes this eye cream work is first that Dr. Dennis Gross “chelating complex” – remove the minerals that drag your skin down.

Then this eye cream has lots of Hyaluronic Acid which helps you to retain water where you want it. Fill those fine lines girls!! Love the texture too. Sort of creamy-gel like.

The Balm Cosmetics

We have been introduced to The Balm, a great inexpensive makeup line. The Balm was created literally in someone’s kitchen and began with just a few lip glosses and has expanded to a full line of cute girlie inspired cosmetics. We love the names these products have like Mary-Lou Manizer and No Money No Honey. How cute is that? And these products have female inspired names that come from their creator’s real life family and friends. The Balm is a versatile line that works by combining it’s own products by layering them and also creates a great base to add makeup from other lines. The cute packaging and low price point is a great idea for teens and maybe a little younger girls who want to begin to experiment with fun color and learn about a great cosmetic line.

“The Daily Westport” by Meaghan Morelli.

Released Thursday, October 14, 201 in “The Daily Westport” by Meaghan Morelli.
http://www.thedailywestport.com/fashion/put-your-best-face-forward
One of the things that Meaghan and I got to talking about was how to actually use your products. She felt that some women own a lot of good products, but don’t necessarily know how to use them. So read an excerpt from Meaghan Morelli’s article about FACES Beautiful.
“When someone comes in for a lesson—we call it Creative Coloring—we can start with her own make up bag and just go through it,” explains Gail. “Everyone has something good in their bag. From there, we build. We teach clients how to better use what they already have. Or sometimes, women will come in and say, ‘I just need to start over.’ We can do that, too.”
Faces Beautiful offers more than make up. “All our skin care products are result-oriented,” Gail says. “I only carry products that will truly change your skin. I don’t sell the fluff. We’re also launching our own Faces Beautiful product line which we're thrilled about.”
In addition to her own skin care line, Gail has created a Faces Beautiful Mineral Make Up line. “Traditional make up is made from petrochemicals, from oil. Mineral make up is made from crushed minerals like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It’s so much better for your skin. And it looks better, too,” she says. “But when people think of mineral make up, they think of those messy, loose powders that inevitably end up on your bathroom floor or in the bottom of your bag. The Faces Beautiful line is comprised of liquids, creams and pressed powders. We call it ‘No mess mineral make up.’ And because it’s so finely mixed, it actually settles into the crevices of your skin without clogging anything. It truly makes your skin look smoother.” After this introduction, I can't wait to give this miracle make-up a try. Gail pulls out a tube with a brush attached and in sixty seconds, she’s applied a light layer of liquid mineral foundation to my face. Another sixty seconds for the foundation to dry and then we check the progress in the mirror. I almost fall out of my seat. I haven’t seen my skin this smooth and seemingly wrinkle-free since before I became a mom. Again, the effect is completely natural-looking.
“I’ve tried to put all a woman’s beauty needs under one roof,” says Gail, as she walks me through the hair salon at the back. “We’re a full service salon,” she tells me. Keratin treatments, Brazilian blowouts, trims, highlights and color are just some of what her stylists do.
And what makeover would be complete without a little sparkle? “I’ve tried to pull together some great fashion pieces that won’t break anyone’s bank,” says Gail standing in front of a glittering collection of handmade jewelry. “I go to all the shows and really comb through for affordable quality. So your hair looks great, your make-up looks great, now you put it together with a fabulous pair of earrings or a statement bracelet and no one will even notice if you’re wearing last year’s shoes. Their eyes won’t ever make it that far.”
After thirty minutes with Gail inside this aesthete’s paradise, I look ten times better than when I walked in the door and I tell her as much. So does my photographer.
“That’s what we do here,” says Gail. “We make everyone a little prettier.”

What a great article Meaghan wrote. We had such a good time too. When Meaghan came in, I didn’t realize that she was here to interview me – so I wasn’t prepared. Then we started talking eyebrows and I was a bit stumped as to how I was going to make this woman “just a little prettier”. Truly, she’s that pretty. But, like always my creativity wakes up the second I focus on my client’s face and ideas start popping in my head as you how I can enhance her. So read an excerpt from Meaghan Morelli’s article about FACES Beautiful.
Make-up application is an art form, there’s no disputing it. And Gail Sagel is one of the most talented and entrepreneurial make-up artists in Fairfield County. Faces Beautiful, her salon and studio, is a beauty mecca staffed by serious beauty devotees. Spend a half hour in Gail’s chair, and you’ll leave feeling camera ready. I speak from experience.
“When I look at your face,” Gail tells me as I settle in for my lesson, “I see exactly what I want to highlight. On you, it’s your eyes and your cheekbones. Everyone has a feature you want to draw attention to, and well-applied make up does this.” She sets to work immediately with a confidence that only comes from years of experience. Judging from her own beautiful face and expertly applied make-up, I know I’m in the best hands.
“Eyebrows are very important. They’re the frame on a great picture, and your eyes are the picture. So you need a good frame,” she says. “The arc of the brow should fall just past your pupil, not directly over it.” And with a few deft pencil strokes, she corrects Mother Nature’s oversight. The result is immediate and my face already looks more balanced.
“Like any framed picture, you need some matting to make the artwork stand out. Eye shadow is like those layers of matting. You have this white shadow on now, and it looks a little flat, so I’m going to change it up.” With the lightest touch, she applies some color. “When you mix pencil with shadow, the color sets, instead of falling off. Because you have blue eyes, I’m applying some browns and bronzes. To make eyes pop, you use colors on the opposite side of the color wheel. The overall look will still be very neutral, but your eyes will look bigger, brighter and bluer.” As she lifts the mirror to my face, again the result is dramatic, but the effect is still incredibly natural. I don’t look loaded down with heavy color, my eyes just look better. A whole lot better.
Thank you Meaghan!!!
Be Beautiful……
