Makeup Artist to the stars AJ Crimson recently did an interview with Vibe Vixen where he shared summer beauty tips! I had the pleasure of meeting him out in Los Angeles during BET Weekend, He was a delight and very knowledgeable about the beauty industry and has launched his own line of cosmetics! Come inside to see what he had to say!
Waterproof your makeup
“Waterproof eye makeup is key for warmer months. Pick up an eyeliner and mascara in your favorite shade before you hit that next pool party.”
BB Cream is the new foundation
“I recently launched my own—AJ Crimson BB+D Cream. The “D” is for added coverage. It’s lightweight—making it perfect for summer—and has the benefits of a moisturizer, the prep of primer, medium coverage to even out skin tone and comes in 11 shades! More than any brand.”
Use a blue-based red lipstick
“The blue tones help your teeth appear whiter so you’re red-carpet ready for the next summer event.”
Your smile is your best accessory
“By incorporating Colgate Optic White Dual Action regimen (toothpaste, mouthwash and toothbrush) into your summer routine twice a day, you can help brighten your smile one shade in five days.”
Keep shine at bay
“Warm humid nights call for powder. Powder only your T-Zone and leave your cheeks dewy to give yourself a natural finish—a great look for a summer date night.”
