A Word About Stippling
For hair color needs, we now carry and recommend Jerome Russell hair color items. This brand is the best we have found – it gives better coverage, washes out better, and stains less than other brands. We have many colors and several types types of “spray in/wash out” temporary colors that come out after one shampoo. We also have the popular sparkle sprays for hair, which can take more than one shampoo to remove completely. Jerome Russell’s “punky colour” line is semi-permanent and these outrageous colors are also very popular. Our customers also seem to like the spray on hair color thickener for thinning hair.
Stippling is a method for applying makeup by gently pressing the color onto the skin with various textured sponges that are rough and large-pored. The pattern created by the pores adds texture without concealing what is underneath. It is used for toning down highlights and shadows that are too strong, for giving texture to the skin, for adding “blemishes” or “freckles,” and for concealing the edges of add-ons (false noses, bald caps, eyebrow covers) by breaking up the tiny line of shadow created by the edge of the false piece. It is also very a very effective way to create stubble for that “5 ‘clock shadow” look.
With old age your nose is bigger. It’s unfortunate, but true. I’m making my nose wider and my nostrils bigger. To make wider you highlight down the nose, and the whole front portion of the nose. To make nostrils bigger, you highlight those as well, all the way to the crease where you nose and cheeks meet. Add shadow to the sides of your nose, draw a line right up next to the highlight and blend out to the cheeks into your foundation. For the nostrils, follow the natural curve, but just outside the actual crease to enlarge them.
