Shary Scully Joins Kim Bensen Live!

I had the great pleasure of recently joining Kim Bensen in the kitchen for a fun food make-over! We talked about the effects some foods can have on the skin and did a before and after demonstration on one of Kim’s clients that included some contouring and shading of the face.

As a member of Kim Bensen’s weight loss center in Shelton…I was invited to join Kim on January 31, 2012 to assist in the make-over on one of my favorite “High Calorie” dishes, Artichoke Italiano. Luckily, the kitchen was still standing once I was done assisting as I quickly realized I will leave the cooking light to Kim!

Tapings of Kim’s inspiring and motivational meetings are aired on her website for members only. This includes the one with yours truly. Thank you so much to Kim for having me and being one of the most awesome weight loss coaches I have ever met!! For more info on her own journey in losing 213lbs, go to www.KimBensen.com. Here you can join as a member and view her virtual webinar meetings, get great light recipes and sooo much more!

Here is some of the info that I shared and am so often asked about as a make-up artist …”How do I get a great make-up application?” It all starts with good skin is my answer!! Read on for some tips of what to eat for maximum skin benefits!

Diet has a huge impact on the skin…..there are many advantages to getting your vitamins in food as opposed to a pill form. For instance a bowl of leafy greens provide a variety of nutrients such as B,K and E as well as fiber and antioxidants. What we eat has a direct impact not only on our overall health and the way we feel, but also about how we look!

Certain nutrients are important for maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails. This is what I call the beauty vitamins J

Vitamin A~ Antioxidant for growth and cell renewal…topically applied may boost collagen renewal found in dairy and egg yolks

Vitamin B~ Increases fatty acids in the skin which promotes exfoliation and firmness

Found in Eggs, Liver and Veggies

Vitamin C ~ Building block of collagen which is the protein that gives the skin its structure, tone and elasticity. Found in Citrus fruits, broccoli, peppers, berries and tomatoes.

Vitamin D ~ Essential for skin Cell development. Found in Egg yolks, salmon, milk and other dairy products

Vitamin E~ Antioxidant that helps build and maintain healthy skin tissue. Found in Wheat Germ, Leafy greens, nuts and whole grains

Healthy Fats~ Important for the skin and whole body…necessary for soft smooth skin and shiny hair…found in olive oil, Avacado, Omega 3 fats…fatty fish and some seeds

Biotin is also another nutrient needed for the skin…identified as vitamin H and part of the b complex family~ Found in foods such as peanut butter, whole grains, eggs and liver.

The importance of Water~

How does drinking water affect the skin?

Our bodies are 80% water without hydration our bodies become dry, flaky and dull looking. 6 to 8 glasses a day as well as foods high in water contents such as fruits, veggies and clear soups. This will help the body flush out toxins and keep skin clear.

Caffeine~ Kept limited because it acts as a diuretic and forces the body to eliminate and block the body from absorbing vitamins and minerals.

Why Airbrush Make-up For Your Wedding Day?

2011-07-18T16:06:00.000-07:00

I recommend airbrush make-up for any day that you may be under stress, lights or cameras!! Airbrush Make-up is a silicone based make-up that is lightly misted on the face as foundation. Its lasting power is much longer than traditional make-up and stays picture perfect for up to 18 hours. It’s a great choice for the hot months to combat humidity and shine. Airbrush make-up was originally made for high def television so therefore gives flawless coverage. Here are a few examples of my recent brides who are wearing airbrush make-up. If you are a bride thinking about getting your make-up done for your wedding day….call now to book your pretrial to ensure availability for your big day!!

New Academy Classes and Make-up Workshops Coming for Fall and Winter

2011-07-11T05:59:00.000-07:00

Many new or aspiring artists are always asking me, “Where did you go to learn how to do make-up?”

There aren’t any make-up classes or make-up workshops in CT. My response is I took the long road working for several companies and seeking out classes and other artists that were certified and obtained 23 certifications to date. There isn’t a make-up studio in Fairfield county Connecticut that teaches the different fundamentals of technique, sanitation, or has specific workshops for those who are looking to up their game. Thus, my inspiration to add Academy Make-up Classes to my studio. Each student will receive a certificate of completion per class taken.

Some of the workshops and seminars include: Make-up 101 for Beginners

Workshops and seminars include:

TATTOO COVER AS SEEN ON NBC 30 CONNECTICUT

As Seen On NBC 30 CONNECTICUT

Body Make-up/ Tattoo Cover Info
Body Make-up/ Tattoo Cover is a great way to temporarily make a tattoo vanish or spider veins disappear or just create a flawless skin for pictures or brides for weddings. This make-up is an alcohol based airbrush make up that is used in TV/Film for special effects. It is non transferable as well as waterproof. This make up needs 8 hours to set without getting wet, sweaty or showered. NOW YOU SEE IT.....NOW YOU DON'T!!

A pretrial is always recommended for several reasons. It takes anywhere from ½ hour to 1 hour to customize your color recipe. Also to make sure there are no allergic reactions (which is not typical) well before an event and to make any tweaks necessary.
