Julie Hewett has created a stellar line of cosmetics straight from the heart, with passion, as a labor of love for her craft.
She is one of the foremost beauty makeup artists actively working in Hollywood today, and is also a member of the exclusive Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, of which there are only 150 members internationally in the Hair and Makeup Category. This honor is bestowed to those having demonstrated exceptional accomplishments in the art of Motion Pictures.
An idea born of necessity on the set of Pearl Harbor, Julie needed to create her own line of long-lasting technicolor reds. The Noir Collection was the answer to the call for good, old-fashioned red lipstick made with today's updated, more natural ingredients.
I personally love skin and eyelid primers.Why?Because I have less than perfect skin.I'm oily, and unless I wear an oil absorbing primer, my face looks like
an oil slick before noon.And forget
about my makeup lasting all day; before I wore eye and face primers I had to
come home to wash my face and start over completely with my makeup to go out at night.Who wants to schedule their
social life around their makeup?Not me!
I like to put my makeup on once and then just touch up
before I go out in the evening.I never
could do that until I started wearing primers.
Primers aren't just for gals with oily skin.Women with very dry skin will notice that
their foundation doesn't grab and look cakey.Gals with more normal skin tell me that their foundation lasts
throughout the day and into the evening. Primers create a smoother surface for foundation, so your makeup looks flawless.
If you use eyelid primer, your shadows look fresh all day.
Remember:a little
dab will do you, so these tubes should last awhile.Apply AFTER moisturizer and BEFORE foundation.
