I was recently interviewed by Laurie Brucker for the LA EXAMINER, on Spring 09 Makuep Trends! Here are a couple of the Trends and Tips from the article:

*Youthful skin – (shouldn’t this always be in style!) Give yourself full coverage of your foundation especially under the eyes so that your skin looks even toned and radiant. No more heavy powder ladies. Looking over done is never in style.
*Daniel recommends: Daniel Chinchilla Cosmetics Flawless Face Foundation. This will give you a dewey, light to medium finish. And hide those blemishes with his Cover-up Trio!

*Smudgy and soft smokey eyes – Avoid the eyeliner because this gives you the sexy eyes you’ve always dreamed of! What’s new and exciting is that we have moved away from only grey/black smudging to using colors like blues, purples and even golds!
*Daniel recommends: Nars Demon Lover Duo Eyeshadow (purple/blue) and Caravaggio Duo Eyeshadow (pink/blue) both great for smudging perfection!

*Nude lips – Put away that old lip gloss and get a sexy new nude pout! What’s great about this trend is that it marries very nicely into your smudgy eye look. Daniel will always tell you, darker eyes, lighter lips or lighter eyes, darker lips. Make sure to go Matte. Glossy is out!
*Daniel recommends: Nars Barbarella (nude) for lighter skin tones and Catfight (pinky mauve) for darker skin tones

*Pinky peachy cheeky – Pastels were hot all over the runways, and they have infused the makeup world too! Give your apples a pastel pink or peach blush. This will perfectly top off your new youthful looking skin.
*Daniel recommends: Nars Orgasm for lighter skin tones and Desire for darker skin tones.
