On Wednesday, 19 November, Beauty Bulletin community members were lucky enough to chat live with Elizabeth Arden’s talented Senior Make-up Artist, Gina Myers.
Gina is well known as a sought after celebrity make-up artist in South Africa and believes in spreading the Elizabeth Arden motto that, ‘it’s every women’s birthright to feel beautiful.”
This sentiment was perfectly expressed in our live chat where our members asked Gina everything from contouring to concealing. Gina’s no nonsense and easy to follow tips and tricks had all of us itching to visit our nearest Elizabeth Arden counter to get shopping.
One subject we were all dying to know was how Gina achieved her flawless complexion. The answer? “I use a mixture of products; the Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Face Wash, the Elizabeth Arden Prevage Moisturiser for Day and Night, the Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Toner for combination skin and recently the Elizabeth Arden Prevage serum. As for the make-up products she always has by her side, “I use the Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Colour Lash Extending Treatment mascara, it’s one of my favourites. My other must-have is the iconic Elizabeth Arden 8 hour skin treatment. It’s a multitasking product that can soothe dry lips, minor burns and insect bites.” We love how low maintenance, yet glamorous this girl is!
If you’re wondering what look to rock this Summer, Gina recommends keeping things simple and natural using shimmering golden hues. Eyes and lips take centre stage but be careful you don’t sport them at the same time as this can look too much.
Speaking of eyes, our members also wanted to know how to conceal and correct pesky under eye circles. Gina had this great advice, “Dark circles are often hereditary, so the best natural solution is to avoid any caffeine, smoking and try to sleep as much as possible. They also get worse when a person is stressed or anxious. The Elizabeth Arden Highlighting and Correcting pens are great for concealing dark circles.”
Gina is also a strong advocate of sun safety and even though many Elizabeth Arden products contain SPF’s, Gina recommends we always double up our sun care by using an efficient sun cream like the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Creme Sun Define, which has a SPF50! Perfect for keeping those damaging UV rays at bay.
We learnt so much by chatting to Gina Myers and we hope you did too! Thank you once again to the wonderful Gina Myers and Elizabeth Arden team for making the chat happen!
