Faces of Youngblood
Have
you ever noticed that when you call Youngblood, a real live person answers your
call? No buttons to push, no voice
menus -just friendly, helpful people. And
if you ever wonder who helps Pauline and Peter keep things running smoothly
behind the scenes, then it's time to meet our controller, Mich!
Mich Moret comes to us with over 15 years experience with major
brands in the beauty industry. Her passion is immediately apparent. "I love
this industry," she says. "It's such a wonderful, exciting group of people!"
As Youngblood's controller, it's her job to monitor the
financial aspects of the business-from accounting to warehouse operations-to
best meet our customers' needs. But if
you ask us, she seems more like head cheerleader. "Youngblood is such a team-spirited
environment," she says. "Everyone here
pulls together."
As much as she loves her work, her top priority is her
family. An ardent fan of the theater and
music, this mother of four is very active in her kids' performing arts at California State University. She volunteers as a backstage mom, organizing
Red Carpet Galas, complete with limousine service and elegant dinner. (And no, she won't adopt you... we already
tried!)
So next time you run into Mich-whether
it's at a trade show, or at the theater-be sure to say hello!

Since
March is Women's History Month, we'd like to celebrate the famous faces --and
their makeup styles-- that have influenced popular makeup trends over the
years. We'll also show you how to duplicate these looks!
The
Liquid Eye Liner
One
of the signature trends of Hollywood's
Golden Era is the liquid eye liner. You can see a very dramatic example of
this, as worn by Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra.  Here, the liquid liner was applied to both top and bottom
eyelids, and the liner was drawn all the way out to the bottom of the brow
line. Also, she had blue eye shadow all
over the eyelid, very similar to Youngblood Crushed
Mineral Eye Shadow in Azurite.
 For a more natural-looking use of liquid eye liner, take a look
at Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
For this look, she had a very thin line on top of the lash line, with a
soft brown shadow (like Youngblood Crushed Mineral Eye Shadow in Coco, or our Pressed
Mineral Eye Shadow Quad in Shanghai Nights) in the crease of her
eyelid. She also had very rosy, pouty
lips (like Youngblood Lip Liner Pencil in Rose´, with Rosewater Lipstick).
Both of these examples also featured very full lashes. You can
duplicate this look by using Youngblood Mascara
in Onyx; coat the lashes two or three times to increase fullness.
Another Hollywood trendsetter
in
the use of liquid eye liner was Marilyn Monroe. She used a thick, black liquid liner on her
lash line. Her look was also defined by
full lashes, arched brows, brown eye shadow in the crease, red lip liner and
lipstick, and of course her signature beauty mark.
 Tyra Banks also favors the smoky-eyed look, but she is a little
more daring when it comes to color choices. Her makeup artist loves to play it
up, and he also uses great brushes to help blend colors perfectly on her
eyelids. Try applying Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eye Shadow Quad in Purple Majesty, or even Youngblood blushes
onto your eyelids. Tyra also wears an
apricot blush (try Youngblood Sherbet
Crushed Mineral Blush) and soft nude lips (try Youngblood Malt Lip Liner with Praline Lip Gloss).
Other trend-setting women that sport the dramatic sultry eye are Ashlee Simpson, Vanessa Williams, Rene Russo, Keira Knightly, Katharine McPhee,
Beyonce Knowles, Nicole Richie, Hillary Duff, Carmen Electra, and Jennifer
Lopez.
The Fresh Face
 Another timeless, classic look is the fresh face. A great example is Jackie Kennedy Onassis,
who had gorgeous skin, and never let her makeup upstage her. She would wear very soft liner and soft
mascara (using Sable Youngblood Mascara will give you the
same look). She switched it up when it came to lipstick colors-- soft and
natural for daytime (like Youngblood Pink
Quartz or Sheer Passion), and for evening events she
liked to pump it up (try Youngblood Lipstick in Vivid,
or Lip Shine in Jubilee).
Whatever the occasion, Jackie O was always the timeless beauty, and we
can all take pointers from our late first lady.
Let's not forget another classic, fresh-faced beauty, Judy
Garland. Even in black and white, this beautiful actress gave a fresh, natural
finish to the big screen. She had long full lashes (try using a couple coats of
Youngblood Mascara)
and perfect polished brows (try Youngblood Brow
Artiste kits in the perfect shade for your hair color). The natural
look can be convenient; you can just apply mascara, brow kit, a little lip
shine, and be out the door!
Some other natural beauties are Oscar-winners Halle Berry
and Jennifer Hudson, kick-butt actresses Kate Beckinsale and Angelina Jolie,
and sweethearts Kristin Davis, Kate Bosworth, Ashley Judd, and Jessica
Alba. Even superstar Madonna has kept
her look simple since she became a mother. Red Carpet Lips
 Another trend that can stop someone in their tracks is the red
lip. Lucille Ball's signature look was the liquid liner and full, red
lips. Christina Aguilera brought the
timeless look of hot red lips back when she launched her most recent album.
Actress Rachael McAdams wore a softer red lip in the movie The Notebook, and Anne Hathaway made the red carpet lip irresistible in The Devil Wears Prada.
There are a couple of pointers to achieving the classic red
lip. First, make sure you keep your eye
shadow tones soft and natural (such as Youngblood Crushed Mineral Eye Shadow in
Granite
or Coco, or Youngblood Eternity or Timeless Pressed Mineral Eye Shadow Quads).
With a small brush, apply a little concealer around the edge of your lips, so
your lipstick won't bleed. (Youngblood Ultimate
Concealer and a Youngblood Travel
Lip Brush or Luxurious Lip Brush will work great). Also, don't forget lip liner,
because it keeps the lipstick long-wearing. And for brilliant lip color, try
Youngblood lipstick in Mystere or Kranberry.
As you can see, these timeless, classic looks can be achieved
with Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics, just by using some helpful tips and good
brushes. Now have fun--and thanks for
helping us salute the great women of beauty during Women's History Month!
