Hi.
I am very very happy to be here today.
I am so excited to be here in Germany and sharing a few of the makeup tips I've learned
along the way.
By the way my name is Michelle.
I come from Los Angeles California.
I have been a makeup artist for nine years.
I work in the industry which means I've been doing television. I do red carpet events,
run way, you name it, I've done it. I've done a lot of celebs. I'm not going to mention
the names, they know who they are. But I am going to mention and share their secrets of
makeup that I use on them with you so you too can look just like they do. Now, with
that being said, I want to introduce you to the most amazing, seriously phenomenal, mineral
cosmetics line Bella Terra. The name already speaks for itself. Bella, beautiful earth,
Terra. Beauty derived from the earth. I love, love this company. Honestly when I started
working with them, when I was introduced to them, I fell in love with them. We just developed
a relationship and I haven't left them ever since. I'm very loyal. Now, what I love about
it the most, the most, and this is what really got me, is how natural and pure these ingredients
are. Whatever they claim to be, 100% pure mineral cosmetics, is true. They stand by
their word. Mica. Very very important ingredient, this is what gives you the overall coverage.
Serecite, this ingredient, it locks in the moisture so even though you're working with
a powdery foundation, it's very cream and it's very smooth. Applies very smooth. Titanium
dioxide ladies, I can't stress this enough. UVA, UVB protection it's so so important.
You walk out the door with the sun's harmful rays, you want to be protected. You got it.
One application of this, you're covered. And for last last oxides, composed of iron oxides,
black, yellow, and red. These interact with your skin to give you the color. With that
being said again 100% pure natural makeup, I'm going to introduce you and invite our
model Cynthia. Cynthia: hi. Michelle: Cynthia is our beautiful model, please sit down. Cynthia:
Thank you. Michelle: and I'm going to demonstrate the power, the magic of this on Cynthia. First
of all, first and foremost, we have three shades. Now most people belong in one of these
three categories. You have the very light which is the ivory. The medium, I would say
majority of women are medium. And the dark. Cynthia in this case is actually the dark
which is the honey. So what I'm going to do is, is I'm going to demonstrate exactly how
miraculous and how wonderful this natural beautiful mineral foundation is. Very important
to know, first and foremost is especially in this case a little goes a very very long
way. You need just a little bit. Dab it on the cap like this. So we're going to use a
bit. If you want to use more later you can add it on but you really don't need a lot
because of the concentration of the ingredients. They're so rich. So we're going to dab it
on like this. Right here. You can see on the camera, it's not too much, I'm going to start
off with this little bit and if I need to build it up, I will. Important, the brush.
Our brushes are especially formulated for mineral makeup. Okay. The bristles are very
high quality synthetic fibers, they're not animal, anti-cruelty, animal-free. Very concentrated
and they're formulated to actually pick up the product and it's going to pick it up,
the bristles are very tight here and it's going to keep it in until we deposit it evenly
on the face. So that being said, I take my brush, I tap it, I swirl it. You don't want
any excess powder so you're going to use foundation. I'm going to tap it like this to get rid of
the excess powder. And then I'm going to apply it to Cynthia's face. Now, Cynthia has beautiful
complexion, she has beautiful skin, she's very very fortunate. Lucky you. I'm going
to start with the out, working in. One thing I must must stress, is especially being a
makeup artist and working on television for so long, with so many products, and I've worked
with mineral products before. One thing that I love about Bella Terra, is like I said,
they claim 100% natural ingredients, they do, and they do not have one ingredient that
a lot of other leading mineral companies have and that is called bizmet oxicloride, and
what it is is a bi-product of lead and copper processes. Now I'm applying this foundation
on Cynthia's skin, I'm sure she doesn't want me applying copper on her skin. It is an irritant.
If anything it'll achieve exactly the opposite than what we want. What we want is beautiful,
even, natural, coverage. It feels great. Cynthia will tell you, I'm sure. you really can't
feel like there's anything on. I'm applying it. It feels like you have nothing on your
skin. It feels almost naked. However, it still completes the job. Cynthia's going to turn
this way. The brushes. Awh, these brushes are divine. They're just amazing. My kids
love it. They're so soft. They're so soft. And that's what you want you want that softness
carressing your skin. I'm applying that. Again, a little goes a long long way with foundation.
Okay. I'm applying it here. Now, Bella Terra is actually genius and what they did was in
this one magic compact right here of powder, it has three tasks. Okay. So ladies instead
of buying a separate concealer, a separate foundation, a finishing powder, caking it
on, caking it on. Who has time for those three steps? We have composed all of them, all three
in one. Now I'm going to show you so first of all I applied the foundation. I'll put
some on her. Just to give her that beautiful, natural, natural coverage on the nose, all
around. Get rid of the excess. Right here and what I also like to do is I like to bring
it down to the neck line. Just to get like a very even coverage all over. Even a little
bit to the ear like here. There you go. Now, here's the beauty. A little bit of concealer.
None of us are perfect unfortunately. Even though Cynthia has beautiful flawless skin,
gorgeous skin, she has little imperfections. Little redness, little spots, which we want
to cover. By the way, if you have that or if you have rosacea, or irritated skin this
is the makeup for you. It is dermatologist recommended, it is superb. It actually works
with your skin. you don't feel like it has anything. It doesn't absorb any oils, it's
perfect. I'm going to take the foundation. Use a concealer brush. Again, look at the
bristles it is especially formulated to pick up the mineral powder. I'm going to use that
and I'm going to cover up just these little red dots right here. We want to cover it.
We don't want it to show because we want perfect coverage. Even coverage. I'm going to dab
it right here. Take maybe a little bit more. But again I'm just taking a very small bit.
And it's so so rich, it's so concentrated, you don't need a lot. Now for those of us,
who actually need a little more help with the concealer, I'm going to show you how to
moisturize and how to make it liquid. Even though it is a mineral, it is a powder that
feels very moist, very creamy. So I'm just going to cover this up here I'm going to use
a little bit by her eyes, by the nose, right here. Little bit here. I like to put it here
just to give that perfect, flawless finish. Right here. Now most of us, this is our problem
area which is right by the eye. We have red notation here, we have a purple vein. This
is the area we want to cover up. And even though Cynthia is really blessed in that department
we're just going to dab a little bit here just to give her even coverage. For those
of us who are a little older. Not going to say who. Those of us who are a little older,
we need a little bit more help. Now we need to use the right product because I'm sure
as you know we've all tried concealer. If you apply it the wrong way, it actually tends
to do the opposite of what you want. It starts to crease in the lines, we get racoon eyes,
it changes the color. Because this is natural, it works with your skin. It doesn't absorb
into your skin. So what I'm going to do is actually. I'm going to take a little bit of
moisturizer, just to show you, how it can also be translated into a liquid. Going to
put a little bit here. Going to take some powder. And then I'm going to mix it up. Now
remember this is so great because, these three functions, to get that total coverage that
you want the perfect look that you want are all in one bottle. Just right here. You don't
need a finishing powder, you don't have enough time to do that. Wake up in the morning we've
got a whole day ahead of us. Step 1, 2, 3 we have no time. So I'm just going to put
it here just to show you the coverage that it gives. A little more liquid. This is really
great for women that are a little older. That have to have more of the little fine lines
and wrinkles that we want to cover. A little bit and it sets in. Right here. And now that
we have the perfect flawless coverage. I mean if you can look in the camera. She's wearing
makeup but it looks like she's wearing nothing. It looks so natural. And it's so light you
really feel like you're wearing nothing. I put it on this morning hours ago. I still
have full coverage and I don't feel like I have anything on. I feel very natural. And
now she's ready. Now Cynthia's ready.
