My Current Concealer Faves!

image.jpg

I wanted to share some of my favorite concealers with you.  They are all different and great depending on the texture and coverage desired.  😉

1) Armani Maestro Eraser~Lightweight concealer that covers dark circles while gently moisturizing.  I love wearing this daily on myself and I also love mixing it with other concealers

2) Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer~Complete full coverage and also hydrating to the skin

3) Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer~medium-to-full coverage but buildable and hydrating

4) Kryolan DermaColor~Full Coverage Creme but can be sheered out

5) MAC Pro Longwear~lightweight liquid concealer with medium to full coverage.  I use this on my male clients for their face as well.  #makeupbyliz #lizcastellanos

Love this face!

I was able to create this look on Cristal Serrano for a beauty shoot we decided to do at my home for fun! Usually the spur of the moment shoots end up being my faves! I love to create and the team was so much fun to work with. Anthony Evans "aka" TheManuc was the man behind the lens. Diana Oh was the magic hands on Cristal's fro, and myself on the lovely canvas. I posted a selfie of Cristal on Instagram and I received so many requests asking me what I used and to post details....so....here I am posting details. HAHA!

I was so excited to shoot with Isabella Peschardt and Anthony Evans aka TheManuc. It had been some time since Anthony and I had worked together and that is not acceptable. When Anthony and I work together it is so effortless and easy. I've worked with Isabella multiple times but only shot with her once for Anastasia of Beverly Hills and this was definitely meant to be. For those of you wondering I am listing everything I used on Bella so you can achieve this look ;)

My top 6 must-haves!

1. EMBRYOLISSE Lait-Cream
"This is my go-to moisturizer because it can be used for all skin types and foundation glides on smoothly when I use it. Also, I have not had any bad reactions on my clients."

2. HOURGLASS Veil Mineral Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 15
"This is my primer of choice because it helps to minimize pores and helps with the longevity of the foundation/powder. It also has an SPF 15 to protect the skin."

3. LAURA MERCIER's Secret brightening loose powder 02
"I love to set my concealer with this because it gives a soft highlight and the powder is super fine so you don't get a dry powder-like set under the eyes."

4. HOURGLASS Ambient Lighting Palette
"I just started using this recently and am in love with the soft glow it gives. I use it on different skin tones because it has 3 different shades. This gives off the "Jlo Glow" that so many people try to achieve without the over processed metallic finish."

5. SHU UEMURA's Liquid eyeliner pen in Black
"This is my absolute fave!!!! I've been using it for years. I love that it is jet black and it stays on longer than any other liquid liner I've ever used."

6. L'OREAL's Voluminous Volume Building Waterproof Mascara
"This has been a staple in my kit. I've been using this since 1994. I've tried others and this is the only mascara that doesn't transfer under the eyes. I love a full set of lashes and this gives the most volume."

Nars Audacious Lipstick Collection

Have you seen the new Nars Audacious Lipstick Collection? With the release of 40 new shades for $32 it has done some major damage to my wallet and worth every penny.  I am in love x 10!!!! They're highly pigmented and so creamy giving a semi-matte payoff but moisturizing and not to mention full coverage hues. Although the release of the collection is for Fall 2014, there are shades that can be worn any time of the year.  You have to get your hands on these lipsticks or you will regret it!  Purchase yours at  www.narscosmetics.com I purchased mine at the Nars Boutique on Melrose in Los Angeles.  The gals there are so sweet and always so informative and helpful.  They have made my visit pleasant every time.

Have you seen this photo? Have you wondered who the team behind this image was? Well I am not only here to share that info with you, but am going to share the products used in this photo. This image has been reposted on blogs, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and many other social media sites. Some people have tried taking credit for it or have just posted and others assuming it was their work....No no no...not quite! Hahahaha! Well here you go: The gorgeous model in the pic is Brittany Brousseau. The photo was taken by Solmaz Saberi for Asha Mia...hair was done by the talented Traci Garrett, and makeup by Liz Castellanos(Moi)! I have been asked time and time again as to which products were used on the beautiful Brittany Brousseau so it was important to me to finally share the low down.

Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer

Hourglass Cosmetics makes a beautiful primer. It gives the skin a silky smooth texture and minimizes pores....not to mention it repels water so makeup stays on all day long! It softens fine lines and wrinkles and has an SPF 15. I have Rosacea and it helps tone down the redness. Thanks to Jill Powell for recommending this product to me! This is my go to primer now!!! You can purchase it here> http://www.hourglasscosmetics.com/veil-mineral-primer/
