susangiordanofullLEADING MAKE UP ARTIST:  SUSAN GIORDANO!

With her consistently beautiful makeup, Susan Giordano has proven herself to be one of the leading makeup artists in the fashion industry. Known for a unique work that unifies glamour with ease, she is frequently called upon to make runway trends more accessible to the average woman. She has worked with a long list of celebrity clients, including Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, Kelly Ripa and Kyra Sedgewick.

Born and raised in New York City, Susan began her career in makeup after spending several years in the financial world. I knew I was in the wrong place when everyone else was reading the Wall Street Journal and I studied the pages of fashion magazines.  She was soon recognized for her always modern and beautiful makeup. In fact, she has used her years of expertise to lecture on beauty and runway trends.  Susan Giordano lives in New York.

Join me this week as we glean so much from this makeup Guru!

For Eyes:

  • Softly dust Precious Pink under the arch of the brow, across entire lid and along the inner third of lower lashes.
  • Apply Sweet Plum to the inside and outside of the eyelid, allowing Precious Pink to remain on the center of the lid. Blend Sweet Plum softly through the crease.
  • Apply Deep Brown eyeliner along top and bottom lashlines.
  • Use Raisin to smudge and soften along lower lashline.

For Cheeks:

  • Brush on Cinnamon Stick cheek color to create a flushed cheek look.

For Lips:

  • Line lips along the lip line with Pink lip liner.
  • Apply Frosted Rose lipstick to the top lip, working from the center out. Then apply to the bottom lip, sweeping color from corner to corner.
  • For the finishing touch, apply Gold Rush lip gloss to the top and bottom lips

PRO TIP:  For the best blush application, smile and apply color to the apples of the cheeks using subtle circular motions. Then blend up the cheek bone
