Everybody loves cake. No one loves cakey makeup. Okay, cue the tomatoes because that might be my worst joke yet. My bad. Cakey makeup (in case you really did get caught up on the “cake” part of it) is when foundation appears too thick, patchy, or flaky on your skin. Which we obviously don’t want.
What a PUNderful dilemma we have here. I’m sure you’ve heard everything under the sun when it comes to pores, but unfortunately so many of the things we’ve been taught, even the ones your Grandma swears by, are actually myths! No worries though, because we’re here to rescue you from those sneaky untruths so buckle up buttercup because you’re in for a ride.
Seriously? We have to deal with this crap in our cosmetics? Whenever I think of asbestos, it’s definitely not in conjunction with makeup! I keep picturing those commercials on daytime tv, “if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you could be entitled to compensation…” so how did it end up in makeup?
So often, many of these products are just a marketing ploy. This isn’t to say that there aren’t some great products on the market, but most OTC brands take advantage of the power of marketing by placing more focus on how their products are packaged, and less on the quality or effectiveness of the ingredients inside their bottles.
Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Is it Halloween yet? No? Then what the hell are you talking about? Uh blush, duh… double blushing! First, we told you to wash your face twice, and now we’re telling you to put on blush twice? Did we steer you wrong last time? Didn’t think so.
We’re on a roll with these skincare trends! This one totally sounds like an option on my washing machine. Skin cycling (I learn so much while writing these) is one of the latest to pop up and makes you wonder why no one ever thought of it before because it makes so much sense (insert face palm).
Wait, melatonin does more than help me fall asleep? Yes! Melatonin is the latest skincare trend. Crazy, I know, BUT it actually has some serious scientific benefits to back it up.
You can’t scour the internet for skincare advice without seeing “Hyaluronic Acid”, practically every product on the market contains it these days. So what is it REALLY, and is it worth the hype?
Now that you’ve come to the darkside after choosing microchanneling over microneedling (you did read our other blog, right?), we can help solidify that choice by giving you all the details on microchanneling to see if it’s a procedure right for you (hint hint, it totally is!)
It’s no surprise that as we age, our bodies begin to lack the collagen needed to maintain youthful, fuller skin and there are plenty of us downing collagen supplements or powders (guilty!) to try and combat the decline. Luckily, we live in a time of killer advancements in the field of skincare and the popularity of non surgical cosmetic treatments has made it even easier to get that boost of collagen we all so desperately want.
Are Youtube makeup tutorials leaving you feeling confused? Here are some major benefits of taking a makeup class with our licensed artists even if you’re not looking to become a pro makeup artist.
Okay, not going to lie, I’d never heard of double cleansing before writing this, but I’m convinced now (thanks 614 Beauty)! Let’s attribute it to sweeping your dirty floors before you mop.
My skin care routine is equally as important as my makeup routine. That’s why, when it comes to my skincare routine, I only use the best products for my skin. Whether you’re a beginner or expert in the world of skin care, these are my top six products that I swear by to keep my skin looking healthy and radiant.
If you’re perusing our lovely 614 Beauty site, then that means you are one step closer to achieving an amazing Columbus bridal makeup and hair experience. I’m sure you have plenty of questions and we are at your disposal. One question that gets thrown around a lot is when should I book my wedding makeup services?
This is probably our most asked question at 614 Beauty! It’s totally understandable that you want to save money on your big day (nothing wrong with a frugal bride). The cost of all the wedding details certainly add up quickly, but wedding makeup and hair can work for your budget and will be so worth it in the end. We’re just going to make this nice and easy for you. We got you bride!
As a bride, you’re hoping that your wedding is absolute perfection from start to finish (as it should be) and a makeup artist’s job is to add to that beautiful day. If your artist enhances your big day in any way, you’ll want to show your appreciation: gratitude with gratuity (heh).
Who pays for hair and makeup in a wedding? Does the bride pay? Should the bridesmaids pay for themselves? These questions don’t exactly have easy answers.
When putting together your wedding plans, it’s helpful to have aspects of your big day perfectly timed out. Some things can’t be planned (because life is freaking unpredictable 90% of the time), but when it comes to your hair and makeup, wedding makeup artists have timing pretty under control.
Wedding makeup is an art itself. It’s different from your everyday makeup, or even makeup for other big events in your life. Your wedding day isn’t the time to try that new makeup trend you saw on TikTok, nor is it the time to give your best friend’s cousin the chance to test out their new “makeup skills” they learned from Youtube (sorry best friend’s cousin).
Okay so obviously we’re a little biased here (pick us! Pick us!) when it comes to choosing your Columbus wedding makeup artist and hair stylist, BUT these tips can help you choose an artist that is right for you. There are a few ways to ensure you’re hiring a company that’s professional and reliable and will see your vision come to fruition.
Planning your big day is all kinds of stressful. The to-do list can seem endless with venues and flowers and dresses and catering and massive headaches to top it all off. You might even be asking yourself what sort of things you can just let slide. You don’t really need a wedding makeup artist, do you?
Absolutely, without a doubt, YES you do!
We don’t know about you, but our skin could use a bit of a pick-me-up right about now especially with the bitey winter wind and the stress of the holidays fast approaching. Deck the halls with anti-oxidants, fa la la la la la. Just sing it out loud, it totally fits.
We all want products that work, right? Of course we do! Our 614 Beauty team is here to help you sift through the products on the market and give you real insight on what’s best for your skin. Of course, skincare isn’t always so black and white because everyone has different skin, but there are some things to look out for when choosing skincare products.
