Tokidoki Launches New Makeup Line Exclusively at Sephora
Rushing to the launch party for tokidoki’s new makeup line for Sephora, I booked it through Midtown Manhattan hoping to find the event space without a problem. Still light outside, I arrived at the address and peering into the space, I felt like I was about to enter either a time warp of some awesome club on a Saturday night. Walking into the space, I was surprised to see a full sized skate ramp complete with three skater chicks doing tricks, full sized tokidoki characters dancing and mingling with the party guests, and donuts served on light sabers. I knew I was in the right place.
tokidoki, the lifestyle brand brain child of Italian designer Simone Legno is all about fun and the criminally cute. Growing up in Italy in the 1980s, Legno was inspired by the Japanimation cartoons and comics that were flooding the culture. Putting his own spin on the idea, Legno launched his brand in the form of clothes, toys, and accessories, and now makeup. tokidoki is a brand that emphasizes technology and has released USB keys, ear phones, and other technology pieces in the past. Now venturing into the world of makeup, tokidoki is partnering with Sephora, a brand Legno says understands “the relationship between fun, creativity, self-expression and color unlike any other retailer.”

Airbrush Makeup
Airbrush Makeup
Airbrush makeup is not a new concept to the makeup industry. It has been used in film for many years. Airbrush makeup was used in the movie Ben Hur in 1922. It was then used as a fast technique of applying makeup to many actors. Airbrush makeup picked up a bit more popularity in the 1970s. It was originally thought of as an area of specialty in the cosmetic world.
Today, airbrush makeup is on the rise in popularity due partially to the increase in technology such as digital pictures and digital television and its long-lasting durability. In the past, film and television makeup was exaggerated so that the actors did not appear to be washed out. Some makeup had to be applied darker than normal to be seen in the bright lights while other times colors choices were limited due to the color of light. Cameras, lighting, and viewing quality were not as clear and exact. The viewers could not see lines in the makeup; therefore, the lines were not quite defined. Makeup covering facial imperfections such as blemishes and scars was less visible. Many touch-ups were needed. In other cases, film speed greatly affected the makeup, making everything visible. The makeup artist needed to be concerned with film sensitivity before applying makeup. Today, digital pictures and digital television have enhanced faces so that every line, blemish, and blend can be seen clearly. Close-up shots are common. As a result, today’s film and television makeup have adjusted to the need for perfection and precision by relying on airbrush makeup.

Makeup tips: How to accentuate blue eyes
As a Blonde and Blue eyed person and one who loves makeup and also a trained Makeup Artist I have had my share of experimenting with Blue Eyes.
In my professional opinion Blues Eyes should always stay away from any shade of Blue, with only the exception of a Grayish Slate color. The best color for blues eyes are browns of all shades and neutrals, these colors bring out the Blue, using a blue shadow only competes with your eye color. Leave these colors for the girls with dark eyes. Brown colors will accentuate blue eyes making them pop. Also contrary to popular fashions, Pink colors tend to make your eyes look tired or sore, and Greens are only acceptable if your eyes have a bit of a greenish-blue color in them.
Putting a lighter color on your lid anywhere from a peach to a tawny light brown. using a black eyeliner, line your eyes next to your lashes in a very thin line barely noticeable. (You can also accomplish this same look for those of you with unsteady hands by making a series of small dots into your eyelashes nest to your lid). Also Pinks tend to make your eyes look tired looking or sore.
