This beauty story is all about the big metallic trend on the eyes happening right now. It was literally shot at night inside a fountain, and I had to keep changing the models' makeup as she lay down in the water- with my assistant holding a flash light so that I could see what I was doing! Glamorous uh?
Makeup by Luis Casco "Vanidades" September 2011
This first shot was all about the eyeliner,the model had hazel eyes and I wanted to show how beautiful light blue can layer over a black eyeliner to make the eye color "POP"!. As a base, I started with Mary Kay's Cream eye color in Apricot Twist (a pretty gold shade):
Nuance Salma Hayek was inspired by Hayek's grandmother, a cosmetologist who developed her own homemade beauty remedies in Mexico. An embodiment of her rich family heritage, the products in the Nuance Salma Hayek line represent the fusion of advanced, proprietary formulations and personal beauty rituals passed down from generations. Each product in the line was inspired by Hayek's own beauty rituals as well as her extensive global travels. Many ingredients, such as tepezcohuite, blue agave, prickly pear and lime enzyme, are being used in exclusive beauty formulas available to the mass market for the first time. Hayek rigorously tested every product in the line, partnering with formulators to ensure the highest standards and results.
"I wanted to create a line of premium beauty products that were both effective and affordable using the ingredients and knowledge passed down to me from my grandmother," said Hayek. "My partnership with CVS/pharmacy allowed me to be truly involved in every aspect of product development, bringing my vision to life in making a line that is available to all women, who are entitled to preserve their youth no matter what."
Here's a great video of Salma discussing the line-I love the fact that she says she wanted to create something affordable to every woman yet with similar results as the more expensive products:
