<p style="text-align:justify">Renowned makeup artist Hala Ajam released the first ever Arab women empowerment campaign entitled “#CelebratingArabWomen, let’s support the Arab woman’s voice together.”</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The campaign created a lot of buzz on social media. The faces of more than twenty women from different cultural, religious, and social backgrounds were featured, highlighting women’s abilities and contributions to the Arab society.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The video that Hala shared on her Facebook page got over a million views from different parts of the world, received an incredible amount of media coverage, and got people really interested in the idea of the campaign.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Hala interviewed with <a href="http://www.pourfemme.it/articolo/celebratingarabwomen-la-prima-campagna-per-le-donne-arabe-libere-foto/60545/">PourFemme.It</a>, the most read and followed e-news site in Italy, to further elaborate on the importance of empowering Arab women, especially on social media.</p>

I wanted to focus on the role and the importance of the Arab woman in our society.”</p>

"Only yesterday, women were being told what to do and who to be. Today, here we are celebrating women's independence and individuality," says Hala Ajam about her latest campaign titled #CelebratingArabWomen The campaign features over twenty different Arab women from different social classes, occupations, religions, and walks of life, who are all share a strong independence and freedom. The campaign aims to shed light on the diversity and solid individuality of Arab women.<br />
<br />
Uplifting and colorful, #CelebratingArabWomen is the first initiative in the line of trending women empowerment campaigns to address women from the Arab world. <br />
<br />
"I could have created a beauty film but I wanted to go beyond the physical. Loving and appreciating oneself is much more powerful and important," Ajam says. "I wanted to focus on women's role and importance in society."</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Studying the art of makeup in Beirut and Hollywood left a mark on Hala Ajam and gave birth to a rather distinctive style in her work: an inimitable Lebanese-American mélange.<br />
<br />
With her specialization in makeup for photography, TV and movies, Hala worked in a fashion photography studio in Los Angeles, California, prior to moving back to Beirut and opening her own makeup studio in Starco, Downtown.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">A strong believer in the power of natural beauty, and the philosophy that less is more, Ajam wants women to look like the best versions of themselves, without being influenced by something that goes against their real identity.</p>

<p>Makeup can serve a million purposes: it can be for a fashion show, a music video, an editorial shoot, a wedding, a cocktail, a formal dinner, or a graduation. Like everything in life, you need to have a target with makeup. You wouldn’t find Beyonce wearing an outfit from her world tour while she’s taking her daughter out for a walk, and you wouldn’t find me mixing candy colors on your eyes if you are going to a brunch with your in-laws. It’s all about the target.</p>
<p><strong>Real-life VS Art</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to editorial shoots and advertising, I love to let my artistic side go mad. I love to experiment with color and texture, simply because the model in the picture is not real. She is a canvas, and the final photograph will be an artwork. Ladies, you need to know that this model is not what you are meant to be.</p>

<p>I have been paying a lot of attention to MAC’s catwalk trends, and as you can see, the looks are all highly artistic and surreal, because it’s a fashion show. The makeup needs to be a character as much as the couture</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/artictic-makeup.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="artistic makeup" class="size-medium wp-image-9128" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/artictic-makeup-220x300.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:300px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:220px" /></a></p>
<p>When it comes to the editorial shoots I work on for Laha, or my personal artistic looks, I am always thinking about the concept, what is the mood we are trying to create, and how can the makeup help create that mood. It can be colorful, dark, dramatic, fun, but most of the time it has to be slightly exaggerated to explain this mood</p>
</div>
<p>I want you, however, to leave my makeup studio feeling like yourself, and not like another woman you saw in a magazine – who was, by the way, photoshopped to death. This is why, ladies, most of the time I stick to earthy, nude palettes when it comes to makeup.</p>
<p><strong>The Power of Nude</strong></p>
<p>Keep one thing in mind; most Arabs have a yellow undertone in their complexion. Brown shades are perfect for that because they blend especially well, and they enhance the natural color. Less is more, the subtler the colors look like on your skin, the less artificial you will look, and thus, more natural and more beautiful.</p>
<p>The point of the colors I always use is to mimic your natural tones and enhance them. All around the world, if you look at the trends, makeup is shifting towards the natural. Gone are the days when makeup’s job was to change what you look like, now is the time for makeup to act as an additive to your natural gifts and, very subtly, enhance any minor imperfections.</p>
<p><strong>Let’s See…</strong></p>
<p>There are lots of nude palettes from some of my favorite brands, so you always have the freedom to check out the products.</p>
<p>I’ve written about the <a href="http://halaajam.com/2014/08/17/glow-like-a-goddess/" target="_blank" title="Glow Like A Goddess ">Bronze Goddess collection by Estee Lauder</a> not too long ago, you can read my review on it if you follow this link. It’s a sexy, summery collection that relies on creating a natural, tanned look to bring out a sensual goddess in you. All its tones are subtle and earthy, and they complement your natural complexion perfectly.</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/bronze.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="Print" class="size-medium wp-image-9122" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/bronze-300x253.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:253px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:300px" /></a></p>
<p>Its name doesn’t lie, the collection really turns you into a smoking bronze goddess</p>
</div>
<p><a href="http://halaajam.com/2014/06/22/nectar-nude/" target="_blank">Nectar + Nude</a> by Bobbi Brows is another palette I had written about earlier. Its shadows range from pale cream to rich caviar, all of which are natural, earthy colors.</p>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/nectar-and-nude.jpg"><img alt="nectar and nude" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9123" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/nectar-and-nude-300x300.jpg" style="display:block; height:300px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:300px" /></a></p>
<p>Last but not least, <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/12-shadows-eyeshadows/604214916630.html" target="_blank">Urban Decay’s Naked Palette</a> is another set of shadows I think are perfectly natural. It comes with twelve bronze-hued neutrals.</p>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/naked.jpg"><img alt="naked" class="aligncenter wp-image-9124" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/naked.jpg" style="display:block; height:217px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:307px" /></a></p>
<p>So, at the end of the day, going nude is not so bad. Nude might as well be what the world is heading to: simple, minimal, natural. Always remember that you need to be comfortable with yourself in natural makeup, otherwise, trust me, you won’t be happy with any look you go with. Embrace your natural tones and your features and learn how to work around them to create a look that screams individuality!</p>

<p>A girl’s wedding is probably the most important event in her life. I’m pretty sure most of you have been planning it since you were little girls! It’s stressful, challenging, and can drive you to tears, but that’s what it takes to make sure the wedding turns out beautifully.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Between the right gown, the perfect venue, the perfect flower arrangements – things might get a little overwhelming – and more often than not, ladies will need to be reminded that their wedding pictures will last a lifetime! This is why making sure that your skin is absolutely flawless on your big day is just as important as every other element! </p>
<p>It’s very important to avoid any reaction or inflammation makes sure you prep your skin six months before the wedding.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t </strong>try anything new!<strong> </strong>Skin is sensitive, if you try something new such as laser hair removal, a new moisturizer, filler or Botox, you might stir up a reaction and you don’t want that!</p>
<p><strong>Don’t </strong>remove<strong> </strong>hair with a string or wax—that may cause pimples; it’s not wise to do it very shortly before the wedding.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t</strong> leave out any spots: make sure you remove hairs from all the areas of the face. Otherwise the foundation will look uneven. (Picture of uneven concealer)</p>
<div>
<p><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/58.jpg/800/1600" style="height:297px; width:600px" /></p>
<p>Foundation will look blotchy and uneven on your face if the hairs are not removed equally from all areas, watch out!</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Don’t </strong>overdo the skin peeling. Surely enough, peeling is a method that brides tend to resort to before their wedding, but be careful, overdoing it will make your skin shine in photos – and not in the good way!</p>
<p><strong>Don’t </strong>risk it with food! Do you have any allergies? It’s the perfect time to pay attention to what foods might cause irritation. Avoid spicy foods that might spring up an outbreak or an unwanted reaction.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t </strong>lay in the sun for hours right before the wedding. I’m sure you want that golden bronze tan, but lying in the sun just before your wedding might get you burned. Try avoiding the sun a whole week before the wedding. Any form of a burn could spoil your makeup.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t </strong>think that tan lines can be covered up by makeup!</p>
<p><strong>Don’t</strong> resort to heavy drinking before the wedding. Drinking will dehydrate your complexion and the makeup will not last throughout your wedding night. Avoid drinking right before you get your makeup done as well.</p>
<p><strong>Do </strong>Drink a lot of water!</p>
<p><strong>Do </strong>moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. I cannot say it enough. But ladies, remember, use a moisturizer that you are used to and that you know your skin reacts positively to! As I mentioned, don’t experiment.</p>
<p>Ladies, it’s very important that you take into consideration all the tips I have mentioned in this post, it’s always such a shame for a bride-to-be to experience any form of skin issues right before her wedding because of poor planning. Remember, your wedding pictures will last a lifetime and you definitely want to look flawless for that! Good luck!</p>

A perfect concealer hides away the imperfections and blends seamlessly with your skin tone, going unnoticed and creating a flawless complexion.</p>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/721.jpg"><img alt="7" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-5515" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/72-772x10241.jpg" style="height:742px; width:560px" /></a></p>
<p>It’s important to know that a concealer act as a highlighter, attracting light as well as reflecting it. Choosing the right concealer that is too light will result in “racoon eyes” if used to conceal dark circles—it can also cast an undesirable grayish tone over the skin.</p>
<p>To cover dark circles perfectly mix a small amount of your foundation with the concealer. The concealer should be two shades lighter than your natural skin tone. It will give you more accurate color match and will ensure a natural look by blending seamlessly with your overall skin tone and preventing any distinct contrast in color, tone or texture.</p>
<p>Always try to use a yellow-based concealer—it comes in different shades. Yellow concealer is ideal for covering up <strong>redness—</strong>so it’s good to mask any pinks, veins, or pimples.</p>
<p>Finding the right under-eye concealer may take some time as well as trial and error. However, it will be well worth the effort when you find something that works for you. Normally, peach concealer is a great choice if you need to remove any blue/gray from under your eyes. It’s important to know which tones work for which imperfections.</p>
<p>It’s also very important to keep in mind that liquid concealer is best suited for light coverage and used on delicate areas of the face.</p>
<p>Ladies, feeling beautiful is your right and it’s very important to take the time to find the products that help you achieve your goals – keep in mind what I’ve outlined in this blog and good luck!</p>

'description' => '<p>I’ve been getting a lot of questions about primers lately, and although I had written earlier about MAC’s Prep + Prime , I’m back with another quick blog to explain to you ladies what primer is all about and why it can be important.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>The Story of Primer</strong></p>
<p>Think of primer as a pre-foundation base. It’s the product you would need to prepare your skin for foundation. The problem is that, by the end of the day, a lot of women would complain that they feel their foundation is melting off their face, well, a primer’s job is to make sure this does not happen. Keep this in mind, a good primer’s job is to flatten out the creases in your face, smooth out pores, and help hold your makeup together for longer.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Less Is More</strong></p>
<p>Remember the <em>less is more </em>concept, it applies with primers as well. Less is more means you don’t need to use a lot of the product, a little bit is all you need. You can place small drops of the fluid under your eyes, on your nose, and on your forehead. Start off at the center and with your fingertips; work the drops of primer towards the rest of your face. Massage your face well with it. Remember, you are creating the perfect base for your foundation, so make sure you achieve full coverage.</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/primer-application21.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="primer application" class="size-medium wp-image-9048" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/primer-application2-300x2931.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:293px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:300px" /></a></p>
<p>need to cover the whole of your face with your primer, so it is always ideal to start with the primer hot spots: your nose, your forehead, your cheeks, and chin.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Make the Right Choice</strong></p>
<p>There’s a ton of primers to choose from, but normally I go for MAC’s Prep + Prime, it evens out skin redness, takes care of oily skin, and creates a perfect base for foundation.</p>
<p>Of course, you can also choose <a href="http://sbx.cm/XF53JF" target="_blank">Smashbox’s Photo Finish</a>.</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/mac-prep-and-primer-skin2.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="mac-prep-and-primer-skin" class="size-medium wp-image-9054" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/mac-prep-and-primer-skin-195x3001.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:300px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:195px" /></a></p>
<p>MAC’s Prep + Prime is super-fluid and silicone-based. It helps soothe your skin and blur out your blemishes. Prep + Prime also comes in yellow and green tints</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/s1349968-main-Lhero2.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="s1349968-main-Lhero" class="size-medium wp-image-9055" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/s1349968-main-Lhero-300x3001.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:300px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:300px" /></a></p>
<p>Smashbox’s Photo Finish smoothes out your skin, absorbs oil, and gives you a photo-ready look! It comes in different shades for different types of skin.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Tints and Textures</strong></p>
<p>Remember ladies, there are always a lot of choices, and you need to know the function of every primer before you use it. Green-tinted primers neutralize redness, dark primers help darken your foundation color. Water-based primer is always a better choice for oily skin rather than silicon-based.</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Hala-Ajam-Primer-Tints-Yellow-Green-Pink1.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="Hala Ajam Primer Tints Yellow Green Pink" class="size-medium wp-image-9049" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Hala-Ajam-Primer-Tints-Yellow-Green-Pink-300x1871.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:187px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:300px" /></a></p>
<p>Know your color wheel. Primers are tinted for a purpose, keep in mind what it is you are trying to achieve when picking out the right tint. Pink-tinted primers give off a rosy glow, while green tints counteract redness and yellow primers neutralize your skin tone.</p>
</div>
<p>Know your makeup! It’s very important. I hope I helped you understand your primer better and answered your questions. Consider this your Primer 101. Anything to add? Ask me below!</p>

<p>It's a delicate matter because the truth is, eyebrows can totally change the way your face looks - they're features that are extremely expressive and can tell a lot about you. This is why, when it comes to your brows, you better think twice. I hope you've read my <a href="http://asmarpro.com/halaajam/article/18/Prime-Time-#content">Primer</a> and Lipstick blogs because today, it's all about Brow talk!</p>

<p><strong>Defining the Brows</strong></p>
<p>Ladies, I cannot say this enough: take nature as your base for everything. Go with nature not against it. If you are tweezing your brows, please, respect your natural arch. Think about accentuating the shape and making it look better, not change it. You want a strong, expressive brow. Also, respect the shape of your face. You don't want a pair of eyebrows that look like they belong to someone else. After grooming, you need to start thinking about penciling them in and filling them up!</p>
<p><strong>Decisions, Decisions...</strong></p>
<p>For filling out the eyebrows, I normally love the <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/149/263/Eye-Brows/index.tmpl" target="_blank"><em>Eye Brows Crayon from MAC</em></a> . I recommend, for my audience in the Middle East, three shades: Spiked, Stud, and Lingering. Keep in mind your natural palette and don't stray too far from it.</p>

<p><strong>Let's Be Natural</strong></p>
<p>Ladies, I will have to voice out my distaste for tattooed eyebrows. Natural is in. The more you look like yourself, the more beautiful people will find you, trust me. And that is only because the more you go with nature, the more comfortable you will feel about yourself - and believe me , it will show in your eyes. And that is what makes you beautiful. So please, well-groomed brows with the right filler is more than enough. Consider the natural tones: if your hair is black, go for a dark brown color. If your hair is brown, go for a light brown shade for your brows - same goes for red or coppery hair. If you're a blonde, grayish or light brown filler would also be just fine.</p>
<p>Remember ladies, the role of makeup is to accentuate your natural gifts. If you have thick brows, then celebrate them, if you have thin brows, then you can color them in, but don't resort to more extreme methods. Always visit a good esthetician you trust when it comes to working with your brows - after all, the slightest mistake can cost you!</p>

This is why it’s always very important, for your graduation, girls, to make sure that you give yourself a simple, natural look that reflects your youth and energy.<a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/graduation1.jpg"><img alt="graduation" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9102" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/graduation-186x3001.jpg" style="display:block; height:300px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:186px" /></a>Let your age show, don’t try to look older. I always suggest for graduating girls to stick to eyeliner as a statement, not much more.</p>
<p>This is why in this blog I’ll be breaking down some key eyeliner tips for my younger audiences.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Eyes on You</strong></p>
<p>First of all you need to establish what type of eye you have. Each type has a specific technique that needs to be respected, so let’s get down to business:</p>
<p><img alt="Print" class="aligncenter wp-image-9113" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/BREAKDOWN-300x2511.jpg" style="display:block; height:371px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:444px" /></p>
<p><strong>Small</strong></p>
<p>For small eyes, liner inside the waterline is a no-no. It will only shrink your eye. An outstretched, thin line on the upper lash line is perfect. You can use a beige pencil on your waterline to widen your eyes and make them pop, and a brown streak of eyeshadow on the lower lash line for a natural effect.<br />
<a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/photo-21.jpg"><img alt="photo 2" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9106" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/photo-2-200x3001.jpg" style="display:block; height:300px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:200px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Far Apart</strong></p>
<p>My advice: start your eyeliner from the innermost corner of your eye all the way till the outer corner.</p>
<p><strong>Too Close!</strong></p>
<p>Do the complete opposite: start your eyeliner from the middle of your lashline to give the illusion that the eyes are further apart. Moreover, a light-colored shadow on the inner corner of the eye will strengthen that effect.</p>
<p><strong>Wide Eyes</strong></p>
<p>Use the liner on your waterline. You can also use the liner on your upper lashline so you can tight line your eyes. Make sure you’re using thick, bold lines, we want to tighten the eye.</p>
<p><strong>Almond Shaped</strong></p>
<p>Everything goes with almond shaped eyes, so you can choose whatever works for you.</p>
<p><strong>Eyes that Sink In</strong></p>
<p>You need to make them pop out more, so you can use a light colored eye shadow on your lid, with a line that starts from your inner corner to your outer corner, make sure it thickens as it goes from in to out.</p>
<p><strong>Heavy-Lidded</strong></p>
<p>You can start off with some brown shadow on the lid, and then go for a super thin and tight line on the upper lash line. Another one on the lower lash line as well; however it should only go from the outer corner to the middle—not all the way to the inner corner. For bolder eyes, a light liner on the waterline will finish off the job.</p>
<p><strong>Circular</strong></p>
<p>You need to have a thick line on your upper lash line, but make sure to extend it to your outer corner to elongate the eye and give it a false almond shape.</p>
<p><strong>The Line Up</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are different types of liners to choose from, so you always need to keep in mind the basic qualities of every type of liner.</p>
<p><strong>Liquid</strong></p>
<p>If you have a sturdy hand that doesn’t quiver, I suggest you go for dramatic liquid liner to get that accurate, defined shape you’re looking for. The rich blackness of it is so sixties.</p>
<p><strong>Cream Eye</strong></p>
<p>It lasts pretty long and gives off a great shade, it’s especially good for a day-and-night sort of look. Make sure to wash your brush after every use though.</p>
<p><strong>Powder</strong></p>
<p>It gives you definition but it’s still soft. Make sure to use a fine brush if you want to get tight definition.</p>
<p><strong>Pencil</strong></p>
<p>It’s the most common among all, and as you all may know, it’s super easy to use. If you want a quick natural look, it’s your go-to liner.</p>
<p>And the products are endless!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bobbi Brown’s Long Wear Gel Eyeliner is a good choice, but if you’re a MAC girl you can opt for Liquidlast Liner or Fluidline. Long Lasting Eyeliner from Chanel is a great choice as well. Guerlain’s Eyeliner is good, as is L’Oreal’s Super Liner Perfect Slim – Intense Black.</p>

<p><strong>The verdict:</strong> you don’t want to look back on your graduation day and wish you looked different. Keep it down-to-earth and natural. As I mentioned, embrace your youth and bring out the woman in you. But of course, eye liner is crucial for all occasions, so ladies, make sure you abide by my tips, and always wash off the liner before you go to bed!</p>

'description' => '<p>As we bid farewell to summer, I have one last look inspired by the season. Before I go ahead and list out the steps to get a bronzed-up, glazed-up summer look, I’d like to let all the ladies who worked hard getting a tan this summer know one thing. A good, glazy tan is actually very helpful when it comes to contouring – which is a technique I use in 3D makeup that helps define the face, so make use of your tanned complexion and let’s get to work;</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Hala-Ajam-Bronze-Makeup-12.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="Tanning helps in contouring for 3D Makeup" class="size-large wp-image-9287" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Hala-Ajam-Bronze-Makeup-1-683x10241.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:1024px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:683px" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
</div>
<ol>
<li>It’s very important to start with primer. If you haven’t read my Prime Time blog, you can click <a href="http://asmarpro.com/halaajam/article/18/Prime-Time-#content" title="Prime Time">here</a> and you can get in on the importance of primer!</li>
<li>Lay down the foundation and choose a shade that matches your skin tone, I cannot say this enough.</li>
<li>Now it’s time to play with light: use Give Me Sun blush from <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/159/30734/Products/Face/Powder/Mineralize-Skinfinish-Natural/index.tmpl">MAC’s Mineralize Skinfinish Natural</a>. It comes in a rich, orangey, peachy color – it’s glossy, it’s summery, it’s sexy.
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Mineralize-Skin-Finish-Natural-Hala-Ajam3.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="MAC's Mineralize face powder, I'm reviewing it very soon!" class="size-full wp-image-9300" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Mineralize-Skin-Finish-Natural-Hala-Ajam3.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:281px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:209px" /></a></p>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.narscosmetics.com/USA/makeup-cheeks-blush/0607845051312.html">NARS’s Highlighting Blush</a> comes next. What the highlighter does is that subtly contours, all the while reflecting light from the top-part of your cheeks – giving off a healthy glow. Go for a peach tone as well.
<div>

</div>
</li>
<li>The eyes say it all, we have a lot of blending to do so lay down the different shades! I used a rich, plum color which I blended through the crease to the outer corner of the eyes, and under the lower lash line. (By the way, you can go to my <a href="http://asmarpro.com/halaajam/article/21/Grad-Glam:-Eyeliner-Secrets-Spilled#content" title="Grad Glam: Eyeliner Secrets Spilled">Grad Glam</a> blog to look at the different parts of the eye, in case you’re ever confused)</li>

</div>
<ol>
<li>I went for a darker wine color in the crease as well, except for this time it blended it in the same direction as the previous color, except I let it droops a little bit lower to create dimension.</li>
<li>Go for a cream nude-colored eye shadow on the moving eyelid.</li>
<li>Inside the eye, black kohl that stretches all the way to the waterline – it helps create an elongation and a lift for the eye.</li>
<li>Use a cream eyeliner in the blackest black you can find, and line your upper lash line with it, creating a short wing.</li>
<li>Apply a full lash to give your eyes the high-drama effect that give this look its edge. Lots of mascara.</li>
<li>Use the <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/167/340/Lip-Pencil/index.tmpl">Soar lip pencil from MAC</a> on the lips and blend well. It comes in a twiggy pink color.
<div>

</div>
</li>
<li>Blend two <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl">lipsticks from MAC</a> on your lips – here I went for Kinda Sexy (a nice, petal pink) and Shy Girl (a tasty, mandarin orange color).

'description' => '<p>I’ve been getting a lot of questions about foundation lately – people are asking about tips and tricks for applying it, or just wondering about the different types or kinds.<img alt="Print" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9348" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/week-3-sep-11-300x2231.jpg" style="display:block; height:223px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:300px" /></p>
<p>So in this blog, I’ll be breaking down some fundamentals you need to knowabout your foundation along side some useful tips you can use to find the right one for your skin tone.</p>
<p>Before I start, I’d like to note that there are brand new foundations coming out daily – there will probably be some new ones out by the time this blog is online! But most of the new products that are coming out are equipped with SPF 15 or 20, which is great because they protect your complexion from the sun.</p>
<p><strong>The Right Shade</strong></p>
<p>The first – and most crucial question – ladies ask is: how can I know which shade is ideal for my skin tone?</p>
<p>My answer is: make a streak with the foundation from your cheek down towards your jaw line and take a step or two back from the mirror. If you can clearly see the line on your face, then it is not the right shade for you, next!</p>
<p><strong> <a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/FOUNDATION1.jpg"><img alt="Print" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9349" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/FOUNDATION-221x3001.jpg" style="display:block; height:300px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:221px" /></a> Do’s and Don’ts</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>I always advise my ladies to try out their foundation in natural light.Artificial light can distort what the actual color looks like.</li>
<li>Use your phone and snap a photo <em>with flash</em> – it will expose any flaws and is your best and most objective critic when it comes to picking out the right foundation (finally, a selfie with a purpose.)</li>
<li>To get ideal coverage, use <a href="http://asmarpro.com/halaajam/article/18/Prime-Time-#content" target="_blank">primer! </a></li>
<li>Your foundation of choice should change seasonally – a tanned summer complexion is worthy of a golden-hued foundation, while pale winter skin could use a nice, moisturizing foundation in a wintry shade.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Types and Kinds</strong></p>
<p>Let’s break down the different families of foundation;</p>
<p><strong>Liquid Foundation</strong></p>
<p>It can come in waterproof or non-waterproof versions. Liquid foundations normally look natural on the skin. Watch out – you need to blend the liquid foundation very well on your face using a damp brush or sponge, make sure to achieve perfect coverage from all the way under the jawbone up towards your hairline.</p>
<p>I always go for waterproof. It’s light but gives you full coverage. It gives you a nice glow and is super natural – people normally won’t notice you have it on.</p>
<p><strong>Creamy Foundation</strong></p>
<p>It’s the heaviest type – it normally gives the best coverage – especially if you have veins, pimples, or dark circles.</p>
<p>I recommend using primer before applying it, to assure you get flawless coverage. If you’re feeling too shimmery during your night out, pat your face gently with a napkin to absorb any pesky oils.</p>
<p><strong>Compact Powder</strong></p>
<p>It’s a great choice for working women and young ladies who are always on the go – it’s easy to carry around and it’s perfect for touching up your makeup.</p>
<p>One <em>major </em>mistake women make is that they use the sponge that comes with the compact and then return it to the case. The sponge will end up absorbing the oils on your face, which will soon dry out the powder and ruin it. I always recommend using a brush for applying your powder.</p>
<p>That’s it for now but stay tuned because I’ll be discussing ideal products for both oily and dry skin in my next entries!</p>

I've got you covered!" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-9376" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Hala-Ajam-Oily-Skin-Foundation-1024x8451.jpg" style="display:block; height:845px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:1024px" /></a></p>
<p>A lot of ladies with oily skin can get self-conscious about their always-glossy complexion, but there are few ways around the issue that can always give you instant peace of mind! I’ve spoken about shimmer-free, camera-ready products in my <a href="http://asmarpro.com/halaajam/article/23/3-Products-that-Get-You-Ready-for-Your-Camera-Close-Up!#content" target="_blank">previous blog</a> and since I’ve spoken about foundation 2 days ago, I will list three of my top favorite foundations for oily skin.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/%D8%B9%D8%AC%D9%85-%D9%81%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B4%D9%86.jpg" style="line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: right; -webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="هالة عجم فونداشن" class="size-full wp-image-9359" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/%D8%B9%D8%AC%D9%85-%D9%81%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B4%D9%86.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:350px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:475px" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>Clinique’s Pore Refining solution is one of the foundations I would recommend. It’s a quick fix for oily skin – it minimizes pores and it’s oil-free.
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/hala-ajam-clinique1.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="Clinique's Pore Refining Solutions" class="size-full wp-image-9363" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/hala-ajam-clinique1.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:229px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:220px" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
</div>
</li>
<li>Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 by MAC is next. It works on concealing big pores, which, are always an issue for ladies with an oily complexion. If you want medium, shine free coverage, it’s definitely worth a try – and let’s not forget that it shields your face against harmful sun rays!
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/M-A-C-Studio-Fix-Fluid-SPF15-Fondoten-30-ml__64796470_01.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="MAC's Studio Fix Fluid SPF15" class="size-medium wp-image-9361" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/M-A-C-Studio-Fix-Fluid-SPF15-Fondoten-30-ml__64796470_0-117x3001.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:300px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:117px" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
</div>
</li>
<li>Another one on my list is Estee Lauder’s Equalizer. What’s great about this product is that it takes care of any issue with your complexion, so it will minimize oils. If you have dry skin, it will also help moisturize. So it’s a very practical foundation!</li>
</ol>

</p>
<p> In my previous blogs, <a href="http://asmarpro.com/halaajam/article/26/Foundation-Fundamentals--%C2%A0#content" title="Foundation Fundamentals ">Foundation Fundamentals</a> and 3 Foundations for Oily Skin, I discussed foundation and which ones specifically do wonders for oily-skinned ladies. However, dry skin is an issue as well, so let's get started on the my favorite products for that;</p>
<p>1. Mineralize Moisture SPF 15 from MAC. It provides medium coverage - I love it because it moisturizes the complexion on the spot, it also masks redness and gives you a natural, radiant glow.</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/23384858311.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="MAC's Mineralize SPF 15" class="size-full wp-image-9433" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/23384858311.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:475px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:475px" /></a></p>

</div>
<p>2. YSL's Teint Touche Eclat foundation is also a good choice. I always opt for medium coverage. It moisturizes with perfection and can last up to nine hours - given that you occasionally pat your complexion with a napkin. It's a bit heavy, so I recommend you apply compact or loose powder over it to make sure it sets in.</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/1014183611.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="YSL's Teint Touche Eclat" class="size-full wp-image-9432" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/1014183611.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:548px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:504px" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
</div>
<p>3. Lumi Magique from L'Oreal is another great product for the issue at hand. It provides great coverage for the first four hours, but can gradually start fading after - it's a lightweight so it does not feel like you have anything on.</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/L__039_Or_eacute_al_Paris_Lumi_Magique_Light_Infusing_Foundation_30ml_136387218011.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;"><img alt="Lumi Magique from L'Oreal" class="size-full wp-image-9434" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/L__039_Or_eacute_al_Paris_Lumi_Magique_Light_Infusing_Foundation_30ml_136387218011.jpg" style="-webkit-user-drag:none; border-width:0px; height:800px; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:800px" /></a></p>

<p>If you feel like a foundation that works great with all types of skin, I recommend Maestro Fusion Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 by Giorgio Armani. It's light, it's gentle on your complexion, and gives you natural coverage and it's moisturizing. Price may be a little too steep for some of my readers, though.</p>

'description' => '<p>A good friend and ambitious and successful woman, Rosemin Manji has quickly made a name for herself in the world of luxury and PR. The Canadian-born businesswoman had set up her own bespoke management luxury firm in Dubai, <a href="http://www.rrandco.com/" target="_blank">RR&Co</a> after having worked for Tom Ford himself, who had personally approached her during her early beginnings.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>But she's not just a pretty face or a fashionista, Manji is a hard-headed, intelligent businesswoman who makes sure to put in as much work as she can. Now an influential entrepreneur, PR-ista, and TV host, the ever-inspiring Miss Manji is the latest guest on halaajam.com. You can't read her words and not feel motivated!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hala Ajam: When was the moment you realized that you could be an influential figure in the fashion world?</p>
<p>Rosemin Manji: In which ever job I had whether it was interning when I was in high school to working for designers I worked hard and gave it 100%. I truly believe that hard work, trust and loyalty pays off.</p>
<p>I am humbled that you think I am influential, whatever influence I do I have I strive for balance. I try and use my name to give awareness for charities I am involved in like Breast Cancer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>HA: Where would you be if you weren’t into fashion?</p>
<p>RM: It would definitely still be in the creative world maybe Television or music.</p>

<p>HA: How easy or difficult was it to move to Dubai? Do you remember making the decision?</p>
<p>RM: I had travelled here for holidays and I moved here for family reasons which was supposed to be for about 3 weeks which has ended up being 7 years! You have to be open to change and sometimes you don’t know where your life will take you. It was hard leaving London, but I absolutely love Dubai</p>

<p>HA: How do you hope to inspire young women who follow you?</p>
<p>RM: Be kind, Be Loyal and work hard. The industry is small and there is no room for snobby and mean people. If you want to be in the Fashion and Creative industry be there because you are passionate about it!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>HA: What’s your advice for ladies who are self-conscious in the beauty and fashion departments and are too afraid to try anything new?</p>
<p>RM: I was like that once always afraid to get out of my comfort zone. I recommend to visit a beauty counter in the morning when the mall is quite and wear no makeup so you can really try something new.</p>
<p>Remember to always buy clothes for your body shape and lifestyle. Don’t get caught up with trends.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also being based in Dubai where it's so hot my skin changes (from the extreme temperature) as well from the sun, so I usually have 2 foundations with me in texture and colour.</p>
<p>HA:Tell us about how you see the unbreakable relationship between makeup and fashion.</p>
<p>RM: Make up and fashion go hand in hand. When I was working a Gucci during show time it was so important how the hairstylist and makeup artist (for example) Pat McGrath executed the look and interpreted the vision of the designer.</p>

<p>HA: Which makeup item would never leave your bag under circumstance?</p>
<p>RM: Oh that’s difficult! I really wish I had flawless skin, so I need the magic of make up to even out my complexion. If it's one item then My Laura Mercier Secret camouflage concealer.</p>

<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/hala-ajam-mascara1.jpg"><img alt="mascara" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-9503" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/hala-ajam-mascara-1024x6811.jpg" style="display:block; height:681px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:1024px" /></a></p>
<p>A lot of women have the misconception that before they apply mascara, they need to pump the wand (and very aggressively, might I add!) first.</p>
<p>This, my readers, is a huge makeup myth and I’m about to bust it.</p>
<p><strong>The Myth, Busted</strong></p>
<p>When you pump the wand, what happens is that you force air bubbles into the container. And that’s bad for two main reasons. First, that could cause you mascara to dry out much faster and that’s definitely not what you want. Not only that, but forcing air into the tube can help any germs that latch onto the brush to multiply inside. You don’t want to cause any infections or reactions for the future, so let’s avoid that.</p>
<p><strong>Quick Tips</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Pull. </strong>When you want to pull out the wand, instead of pumping it, move it gently around inside the tube.</li>
<li><strong>Apply.</strong>Always start from the base of the lashes—the mascara on the roots gives the illusion of length. Swipe up the brush wiggling left-and-right as you go.</li>
<li><strong>Cleanse. </strong>Make sure you remove the mascara before going to bed with a gentle eye makeup remover using a cotton buds. Be gentle on the eye, then wash your face, don't leave the make up remover on the eyes, it's not healthy.</li>
<li><strong>Trash. </strong>Are your expiration dates in check? Throw out your old mascaras to protect your eyes from irritations or infections! I usually give it a life-time of 3 months only as of the day I open it - write the date on it!</li>
<li><strong>Purchase</strong>. Make sure you don't buy a mascara that the sales person opens for you. It happened to me once in the airport, it's a bad habit we have in the Middle East. Make sure the mascara is sealed and untouched, we don't want any reactions or irritations!</li>
</ol>

'description' => '<p>When you know your way around your face, applying 3D techniques becomes very easy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/nov-w-1-1.jpg"><img alt="Print" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9753" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/nov-w-1-1.jpg" style="display:block; height:850px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:652px" /></a></p>
<p>You always need to identify your face shape first before you think of reshaping your features. Remember that 3D is all about playing with light and creating illusions <em>within </em>your natural features. It’s all about subtle correction by using two techniques; contouring and highlighting.<br />
<img alt="" class="mce-wp-more wp-more-tag" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" style="-webkit-box-shadow:none; background:url(http://halaajam.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/skins/wordpress/images/more.png) 50% 50% repeat-y scroll transparent; border-radius:0px; border:0px; box-shadow:none; display:block; height:16px; margin:15px auto 0px; outline:0px; padding:0px; width:775.671875px" title="Read more..." /></p>
<p><strong>Round Face</strong></p>
<p>A round face is defined by a circular jawline. It arches softly and has no angles. What you want to go for is a bit of an elongated look with your jaw, which is why it’s ideal to apply a two-shades-darker concealer along the edges of your face. Let it sweep from your temples down to your jawline to give a slimming illusion. Complement that by using a lighter concealer on your chin.</p>
<p><img alt="Print" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9765" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Round1.jpg" style="display:block; height:567px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:567px" /></p>
<p><strong>Square Face</strong></p>
<p>If you’ve got a squarish face, you’ll want to take the edge of the angularity of your jaw line, which is why you need to keep in mind that your contouring should pull your jaw in. You can achieve this by applying the dark concealer from the outer corner of your hairline and stroke it inwards towards your cheekbones.</p>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Square1.jpg"><img alt="Print" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9766" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Square1.jpg" style="display:block; height:567px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:567px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Heart Shaped</strong></p>
<p>If you’ve got a heart-shaped face, then you’ve typically got high cheekbones and a small chin. Think about contouring the depth right under your cheekbones and blend that in with your hairline. A pop of highlighting on your chin will give it a little more size.</p>
<p><img alt="Print" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9763" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Heart1.jpg" style="display:block; height:567px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:567px" /></p>
<p><strong>Diamond Shape</strong></p>
<p>A diamond shaped face is wide and very angular. Cheekbones are perfect but your only concern is to shorten the face. Start your contouring from your hairline, down to your jawline, and let it set at the bottom of your cheek – that way you’ve minimized the width of your face and shortened it slightly.</p>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Diamond1.jpg"><img alt="Print" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9762" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Diamond1.jpg" style="display:block; height:567px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:567px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Oblong Shape</strong></p>
<p>An oblong or rectangular face needs contouring attention mostly on the jawline area closest to the chin, just to pull that in a little, but stay away from the hairline. Focus on contouring a little under the cheekbones to get that depth, but your face shape doesn’t need more angularity.</p>
<p><a href="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Oblong1.jpg"><img alt="Print" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9764" src="http://181.224.136.235/~halaajam/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Oblong1.jpg" style="display:block; height:567px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:567px" /></a></p>
<p>These are quick tips to get an effortless 3D effect with your makeup. The most important thing is to always blend very, very well with your foundation. The trick is to look effortless and natural, so visible contour lines are something you need to avoid at all costs!

<p>To all my readers, let me start off by saying, I feel you. I really do, I understand how much of a hassle the winter season is for a lot of you, running to work and back, running errands – getting things done during this season is always much more complicated, and I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what should a lady keep in her makeup bag during this season, so, I’ve got you covered… Below is my list of six essential items that shouldn’t leave your bag at all costs. Shall we begin?</p>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/206.jpg/800/1600" style="height:599px; width:800px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center">Scroll down to get the details on every item that needs to stay in your bag throughout this winter!</p>
</div>
<p><em> </em></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>A Good, Tinted Balm</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Pale winter skin can be pretty depressing to some, which is why I always suggest keeping a balm in your bag – and not just any balm, a tinted one to make sure you have a little vibrant color on you. Urban Decay’s <a href="http://www.sephora.com/naked-skin-beauty-balm-broad-spectrum-spf-20-P377703?skuId=1476134">Naked Skin Beauty Balm Broad Spectrum SPF 20</a> is a great example, it takes care of redness, wrinkles, minimizes pores, has anti-aging qualities and comes in a universal shade that works with all skin tones. Its SPF factor is also great because as I had mentioned before, you need that sunscreen at all times, even when the sun isn’t out!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/211.jpg/800/1600" /></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Waterproof Mascara for those Lashes</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Although I’m personally not a huge fan of waterproof mascaras, I know that dripping mascara during winter is not really the look! So for all my mascara addicts, you better add MAC’s <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/152/24962/Products/Eyes/Mascara/Extended-Play-Gigablack-Lash/index.tmpl">Extended Play Gigablack Lash</a> to the top of your shopping list because it’s exactly what you need. When I wash my face for prayer during the day, it doesn’t smudge at all and that’s perfect! It’s very resistant, very long-lasting.</p>
<p><em>MAC’s Extended Play Gigablack Lash is perfect if you have a long day of running around and could be at risk of getting wet!</em></p>
<p> </p>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/214.jpg/800/1600" style="height:520px; width:274px" /></p>

</div>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Some Cream Blush</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Cream Blush is another essential that you need to have in your bag during this season. Makeup Forever’s <a href="http://www.makeupforever.com/int/en-int/make-up/face/blush/hd-blush">HD Second Skin Cream Blush</a> is a great example. You need something that’s a lightweight with super easy application, and that lasts long enough, so this blush should totally do the trick.</p>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">A cream blush is super practical and super efficient for the winter season!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/208.jpg/800/1600" style="height:400px; width:400px" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<ol>
<li><strong>High Quality Lipstick</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>A sturdy, long-lasting lipstick should definitely be part of your makeup kit. If you’re looking for a good product, I suggest you go for Armani’s <a href="http://www.giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com/rouge-d%27armani-lipstick/A353,default,pd.html?dwvar_A353_color=400&start=3&cgid=lipstick">Rouge D’Armani</a>, it comes in a lovely array of shades and colors, all of which are extremely long-lasting and hydrating: perfect for winter days.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/212.png/800/1600" style="height:400px; line-height:20.7999992370605px; text-align:center; width:400px" /></p>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center">Rouge D’Armani is a great choice for your iwnter makeup kit!</p>
</div>
<p><em> </em></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Primer</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Primer is another product that needs to be in your kit. As I had explained in my <a href="http://asmarpro.com/halaajam/article/18/Prime-Time-#content" target="_blank">Prime Time blog</a> before, primer is very important when it comes to making sure your makeup settles in nicely and stays in place throughout the day. Smashbox’s <a href="http://www.sephora.com/photo-finish-foundation-primer-P9889">Iconic Photo Finish Foundation Primer</a> does that and it’s great for all types of skin. It’s silky, it’s a lightweight, it’s oil-free, and it leaves your skin flawless and velvety.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/215.jpg/800/1600" style="height:240px; width:155px" /></p>
<p>Smashbox’s Photo Finish, a perfect finishing for your complexion.</p>
</div>
<p><em> </em></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Cream Concealer</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>My favorite would definitely have to be Makeup Atelier Paris’ <a href="http://www.makeupatelierparis.co.uk/cream-concealers-correctors-p-5038.html">Cream Concealer</a>. It’s highly pigmented, it’s creamy, it comes in a lot of shades and a lot of which are correctors as well. MAC’s <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/157/314/Studio-Finish-SPF-35-Concealer/index.tmpl">Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer</a> is also great – it’s a lightweight with long-lasting coverage that’s both water-resistant and very effective in hiding blemishes. Also, you can try out the <a href="https://us.kryolan.com/product/concealer-cube">Concealer Cube</a> by Krayolan, it’s highly pigmented with excellent coverage. It really depends on the color of concealer you want to go for.</p>

<p>Yes, it’s the season to be romantic and yes, of course it’s an excuse to go rosy and ultra-feminine with your makeup! If you’re not the kind of girl who likes to experiment with a floral palette, then this is your chance. You don’t need to go full-on pink as portrayed in this shoot, as you all may know, I like to be artistic on editorial shoots, but what you can do is experiment with one of the three main elements that make up this delicate look!</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Warm, Fuzzy Eyes</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>For this look I went with the <em>Exaltation </em>shade from Chanel’s <a href="http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/Makeup-Eyeshadow-OMBRE-ESSENTIELLE-89154/sku/138019">OmbreEssentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow</a>. It’s a dark pink shade that gives off beautiful romance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/246.jpg/800/1600" style="height:600px; width:600px" /></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Rosy Cheeks</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>To get the playful effect, you really need to work those cheeks. We want to go for <em>shy and coquettish</em>, not <em>hot and bothered,</em> so let’s go for a hint of Givenchy’s <a href="http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=00505030984936">Le Prisme Blush - 24: It-Girl Purple</a>, a blush made up of four complementary, rosy shades that mix to give off a soft, feminine flush, perfect for your cheeks!</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><img alt="503098492_product_1" class="aligncenter wp-image-12512" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/245.jpeg/800/1600" style="display:block; height:419px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:419px" /></strong></div>
<ol>
<li><strong>The Petal-Perfect Lip</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>With the lips, it’s always about seduction. But for such a look, seduction has to be romantic and innocent – and nothing does that better than pink! This look sports YSL’s<a href="http://www.sephora.com/rouge-pur-couturevernis-a-levres-glossy-stain-P304003?skuId=1395276">Rouge Pur Couture Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stain</a> in the lovely Rose Vinyl shade. It’s a great gloss-meets-stain that has an ultra-long wear and glistens with perfection!</p>
<p><img alt="s1395276-main-hero-300" class="aligncenter wp-image-12514" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/247.jpg/800/1600" style="display:block; height:384px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:384px" /></p>

<p>Primers, primers, primers. So important, so often neglected and underrated. In my <strong><a href="http://asmarpro.com/halaajam/article/18/Prime-Time-" title="Prime Time">Prime Time</a> </strong>blog, I’ve explained primer basics: what they are made for, how they help settle your makeup and ensure longer wear, and how they act as a skin treatment more often than not, and not just a makeup product.</p>
<p>Just to recap, you need to remember that your primer is your base. It acts as the canvas on which you paint your makeup, and it hold it together and delivers a much longer wear.</p>
<p><strong>All About that Bass!</strong></p>
<p>Remember, “base” means anything that is added onto your face before you start applying your actual makeup. Mattifying cream is a base. Moisturizer is a base. So many ladies with specific skin needs will have to add in moisturizer, for example, and then their primer, if they’re struggling with dry skin.</p>
<p><strong>The Makeup Forever Method</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center"> </p>
<p>In a revolutionary new technique, Makeup Forever has developed a comprehensive set of primers, which I personally tried and tested, and let me tell you, they are brilliant. <a href="http://www.makeupforever.com/int/en-int/magazine/news/equalize-your-skin-new-primers-step1-skin-equalizer">The <em>Step 1 </em>Skin Equalizer</a> collection is a set of different primers, each dedicated to solve one issue in your complexion, while acting as a powerful and effective primer at the same time. It’s like a 2-in-1 product that acts as your, literally, step 1.</p>
<p><strong>For Every Problem…There’s a Primer</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Step 1 Mattifying Primer</strong></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/340.png/800/1600" /></p>
<p>The Mattifying Primer is a great way to tackle shiny, oily skin. It immediately counteracts unwanted shine and shrinks pores. It attacks the excess oils on your complexion, ensuring a matte base for makeup application!</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Smoothing Primer</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/346.png/800/1600" /></p>
<p>For silky smooth skin, this primer is ideal. It has a lovely satin finish and it smoothes over pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. It’s non-oily and helps even out your skin texture, giving you a silky base for makeup application. This one is an absolute favorite of mine!</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Hydrating Primer</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/347.png/800/1600" /></p>
<p>For all ladies struggling with dry skin, this is your primer. I understand the difficulty of dry skin: makeup doesn’t last long enough; you fear any product you add on could be causing more dryness if it didn’t have any moisturizing agents. You need to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate at all times. The Hydrating Primer is a great additive to your beauty routine. It refreshed your dry, tired skin and gives it a healthy finish and perfect base for flawless makeup that lasts all day long!</p>
<p> </p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Nourishing Primer</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/341.png/800/1600" /></p>
<p>The Nourishing Primer is made to give you healthy-looking skin. It hydrates, revives, and nourishes, and is loaded with antioxidants. It gives your skin an elastic, uniform texture and just brightens you up!</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Redness Correcting Primer</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/345.png/800/1600" /></p>
<p>I’ve spoken before about how green primers help counteract and neutralize redness on the skin. This is precisely what the Redness Correcting Primer does; it immediately gives off a radiant shine after it equalizes any red spots on your complexion, all the while hydrating and giving you a flawless finish.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>The Radiant Primers</strong></li>
</ol>
<div>
<p><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/344.png/800/1600" style="height:800px; width:800px" /><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/343.png/800/1600" style="line-height:20.7999992370605px" /><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/342.png/800/1600" style="line-height:20.7999992370605px" /></p>
</div>
<p>Radiant Primers are like couture pieces for your skin. They provide immediate color correction to your complexion based on your natural color palette; they revive the skin with a radiant finish and even out imperfections.</p>
<p>And that’s why they come in six different shades, each meant for a specific skin tone. For Middle Eastern users, I rounded up the three tones that would go perfectly with the palette of complexions we have here;</p>
<p>The Yellow Primer, which is meant for tanned skin</p>
<p>The Caramel Primer, which is made for dark skin,</p>
<p>And the Peach Primer, meant for fair skin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Tip Time: Primer Cocktail!</strong></p>
<p>If you’ve got combo skin (Oily and dry at the same time), then the ideal method would be to use the moisturizing primer on the dry parts of your face, and the mattifying primer on the oily parts.</p>
<p>The Skin Equalizer series will drop in March 1<sup>st</sup> in Lebanon and Sephora Dubai. Which primer would be perfect for your skin?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I’ve been getting a lot of questions about cream blushes, how to apply them, and when. Well, there are a lot of misconceptions towards cream blushes and more often than not, ladies can be a bit hesitant about trying them – eventually sticking to their powder blush. But the truth of the matter is, cream blush has some great advantages you really need to know about!</p>
<p><strong>It Moisturizes</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/279.png/800/1600" style="height:287px; width:200px" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cream blushes are perfect for women with dry skin. In a case where powder blush might help dry you out further, a light, feathery cream blush will actually moisturize and give off a healthy, dewy glow.</p>
<p><strong>It’s Natural</strong></p>
<p>The advantage cream blush has is that it’s a very natural blush. If applied the right way – and I will explain what the right way is in a minute – it blends so seamlessly with your cheeks and gives off a subtle, warm blushing effect, without drawing attention to the blush itself.</p>
<p><strong>It’s Easy to Apply</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/278.png/800/1600" style="height:456px; width:216px" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>All you need to do is rub you clean fingers on the blush and take just enough of it to give yourself a pop of color. I always mention – <em>apply your blush where you blush </em>if you want to make sure you’re going super natural.You can <em>smile </em>to reveal the apples of your cheeks and get a grip on the area which you will be applying the blush. And then, gently start tapping your cheeks and blending as you go. <em>Blending </em>is very important with cream blush. If you feel like you need help blending, you can always use a sponge or a brush to make sure you let it set seamlessly into your cheeks.</p>
<p><strong>Blush From Within</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/277.png/800/1600" style="height:466px; width:250px" /></p>
<p>Here’s a little trick that not a lot of ladies know when it comes to cream blushes. You can apply it <em>under your loose powder­</em>– a technique known as under-painting. So the chronology is: apply your liquid foundation, your cream blush, and sprinkle loose powder over that! When you do that, you’re making sure the blush is super-subtle, like a natural flush.</p>
<p><strong>Awesome Blushes</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/281.jpg/800/1600" /></p>
<p>I’ve given Makeup Forever’s amazing<a href="http://www.makeupforever.com/us/en-us/make-up/face/blush/hd-blush"> HD Second Skin Cream Blush</a> a shout out before in the rainy day essentials blog, and it’s the perfect time to bring it back again! I'm a big fan of the It’s a great blush that’s so natural and suits almost all skin tones. It comes in a lovely array of colors from warm pink to plum or bronze. My favorite is the 330 shade, <em>Rosy Plum, </em>it's so subtle and sweet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can also go for MAC’s <a href="http://www.maccosmetics-me.com/index.tmpl?q=en/website_admin/node/560&menu=1429&CATEGORY_ID=CAT155/CAT156/PROD15668">Cremeblend Blush</a>, it’s a deliciously long lasting, dewy blush that provides medium coverage and comes in a collection of ultra-natural shades from nude to blushing pink.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So – will you give cream blush a fighting chance?</p>

<p>Here’s another shot from my Laha Magazine beauty editorial that was inspired by the bold eighties! What I love about this look is that it’s so fearless.It's the perfect time to try on ruby red as I explained in my <a href="http://halaajam.com/2015/02/11/love-me-love-me-the-cherry-shades-you-need-this-valentines/" title="Love Me, Love Me: The Cherry Shades You Need this Valentine’s!">Cherry Lips</a> blog earlier, but let's make it more fun!</p>
<p><strong>Match it with Sunset Eyes</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/297.jpg/800/1600" style="height:400px; width:400px" /></p>
<p>For this look, I went for a gold-earthy-peach combination for the eyes, with a little shimmer. You can get this look from Yves Saint Laurent’s <a href="http://www.yslbeautyus.com/couture-palette/602YSL.html?dwvar_602YSL_color=9%20Babay%20Doll%20Nude">Couture Palette</a> eyeshadow set – specifically the Saharienne palette, it gives off a desert sunset aesthetic.</p>
<p><strong>Bold Cheeks</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/296.jpg/800/1600" style="height:400px; width:400px" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.sephora.com/blush-subtil-delicate-oil-free-powder-blush-P54408?skuId=135897">Blush Subtil</a> from Lancome is a great additive to this look – I used the Aplum shade here – it’s a silky smooth blush, perfect for contouring, and gives strong, vivid definition.</p>
<p><strong>And the Lips…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="http://halaajam.com/catalogs/draw_image_public/295.jpg/800/1600" style="height:200px; width:200px" /></p>
<p><em>Gabrielle</em>, of course! From the <a href="http://www.chanel.com/en_GB/fragrance-beauty/Makeup-Lipsticks-ROUGE-COCO-96009">Rouge Coco</a> line of timeless lipsticks – it’s a classical, fiery red shade that is, in short, the ultimate statement piece for this look. Red lips are a must have!</p>
<p>Remember, you can always choose to go for one of the three elements listed here if the whole combination is too strong for your personality. You might want to try out the golden smoky eye or the bold lip alone, go ahead, have fun with it, and let me know what you think!</p>
