Planning Your Professional Head shots

Prepare your hair!
          1. Plan your Hair Color and/or Haircut 2 weeks beforehand
          2. Deep Condition for optimum light reflection 2 days before shoot
          3. Detox/ Clarify for optimum body and movement 1 day before shoot
4. Use the correct styling products the day before your shoot; On the day of your shoot, we recommend restyling your hair for better hold, better volume and better styling control.

Prepare your skin!

1. Exfoliate up to 4 weeks beforehand.

2. Moisturize 2 times per day- this should already be your daily habit

3. Plan your Facial Waxing appointment 1-2 weeks beforehand (2 weeks if you have sensitive skin)

4. Primer must be used before your Makeup is applied unless your receiving Airbrush Makeup

5. Semi-permanent Eyelashes should be applied or retouched 1 week before shoot

6. False Eyelashes are applied the day of your shoot, but process is important. (Consult a Professional)

7. If possible, avoid tanning beds...they'll dry your skin out. Rather, receive an Airbrush (sunless) Tan 2-3 days before your shoot.

Recommendations

   * Have Professionals prepare your Hair Color and/or Haircut
       * Have Professionals perform your Facial Waxing
       * Have Professionals Style your Hair for your shoot

Eyelashes

2011-02-14T07:03:00.000-08:00

Eyelashes

From " falsies" to growing your own...

Here are YOUR Options:

Falsies

Adding individual Eyelashes or an entire lid of lashes to your own.

Individual lashes can add depth in the middle and/or create length in the outer corners of your eye.

Entire rows come with options. You can choose a scattered row that adds a subtle hint of added volume, or you can choose a glam-row that adds abundant volume and/or length.

At Be Inspired Salon, we sell a variety of Eyelash options and/or apply these as part of your Makeup application for your special occasion. The eyelash application is just $18. If you buy to apply your own, the price ranges between $7-$10.

LiLash

Growing your own

This special formula helps give you fuller, longer lashes that are all your own! Apply just once a day and within 60 days you'll see your results.

Lilash has a 90 day guarantee that this will work for you!

Procedure is SIMPLE. Apply just once per day, either in the morning or before bed, on the top lid only. Allow this dry for approximately 3 minutes and continue to apply your daytime or nighttime regimen as usual.

Normally retailed for $140, at Be Inspired Salon, your first purchase of LiLash is $125. Call today to pre-order your LiLash!

Lips, Lips, Lips!

2011-02-07T13:58:00.000-08:00

Simple Steps to Luscious Lips

Exfoliate

Sloughing the dead and dry skin off will help you lip color last longer!

Do this by wetting your wash clothe with warm water...then squeeze as

much excess out as possible. Gently brush against your lips.

Moisturize

Using any of the Youngblood Lip Gloss shades and you'll have conditioning botanicals and vitamin E, which adds moisture, protection, and hydration for your lips.

Lip Liner Pencil

Lip Liner Pencil is amazing for many reasons. You'll prevent your lip color from bleeding. You can create the illusion of bigger lips with the correct techniques. You can use Lip Liner as your lip color base coat which will help your lip color last even longer! And a simple trick if you draw outside the lines...you can use your concealer to disguise this unwanted smudges.

Color

The best advice I can give is if you want to have bigger looking lips, choose a LIGHTER Lipstick. Remember that, light exposes and dark recedes. Also remember to choose a matching Lip Liner Pencil or one shade lighter. Draw on the very edge of your lips, but avoid going into the very cracks of your mouth.

Shine

Finally, add shine baby! We recommend you add Lip Shine in order to add volume and notice-ability to your appearance. Dab this on top of your Lipstick, primarily the middle portion of your top and bottom lip.

Cat-Eyes...A Do for you??

2011-01-23T15:27:00.000-08:00

Are Cat-Eyes a Do for you?!?

Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, Kate Hudson, and Beyonce are just some of the Celebrities flaunting their catlike qualities. The Cat-Eye Makeup technique is a DO for you!

But, how should you apply this to your style?

~Apply a neutral palette as seen in the example above.

~Do NOT use a deep blush-make sure you add a subtle bronzer, lunar dust, or coral blush.

~If you pop color on the eyes- avoid doing this on your lips.

~If you pop color on your lips-avoid adding pop to the eyelids.

~Do your eyes first...before applying moisturizer, primer, or foundation.

~Practice makes perfect. Try this new technique out with friends before launching your skills at a major social or business event.

~Ask us-your Professional Stylists! When in doubt...come and have us show you- we'd LOVE to!

Don't make this styling mistake

2011-01-17T15:13:00.000-08:00

Do you use any of the following?

Blow Dryer

Flat Iron

Curling Iron

Heat could be damaging your hair!

If you use any of the heat implements above, this is an environmental stress to your hair. These implements produce heat between 300-400 degrees.

If you put extreme heat on your hair, then you MUST apply a thermal protection product, otherwise you could be ‘frying’ your hair!

SOLUTION:

Start with a wet to dry thermal protection spray or lotion

Fortifying Heat Spray

Available at Be Inspired Salon

This can be cocktailed with your favorite root lift or volume mousse products

Are you straightening?

Then try an easy-slip thermal shine spray or cuticle polisher.

Cuticle Polisher

Available at Be Inspired Salon

Are you Curling?

If You have fine hair, and you need help with hold, a flexible styling spray or light wax mist would work the best.

Unlimitor

Available at Be Inspired Salon

Remember-Hairspray doesn’t style your hair. It only “sets” your style once you’re finished.
