#prom2020

Prom is almost here!

 May and June may seem like months and months away, but NOW is the time when everyone is beginning to think about the perfect Prom-posal, and of course finding THE dress! Don’t forget, though - getting dressed up isn’t just about the dress; it’s about the shoes (because let’s dance!), the hair style (because LET’S DANCE!), and, of course, the makeup!

 The Makeup Curio Beauty can bring your prom style to the next level. Whether you want to go bold or au naturale, we’ve got the perfect look for you. Here are some of the key items in our professional kit that will help make your Prom night magical (and especially Instagrammable):

Graftobian HD Glamour Creme Foundation


Graftobian is an award-winning professional grade brand used on Broadway, throughout Hollywood, and everywhere in between. Offering 54 shades, this creamy foundation feels barely there, but its high pigment content and matte finish will hold for hours of photos and dancing. It is also paraben and cruelty free, made in the USA, and totally HD-compatible! #nofilter

Urban Decay Naked2 Palette
Even a natural look still needs eyeshadow. The Naked palettes have a wide variety of matte and shimmery eyeshadows for an array of looks from #nomakeup to a little more definition. While we have several palettes that include nudes and natural shadows, Urban Decay offers a more universal selection. Also, UD is 100% cruelty free.

Pink Eyeshadows
Have you seen all the celebs rocking pink eyeshadow on the red carpet recently? It’s #trending for Prom too! The key to this look is going more pearly than red; pinks that look red will instantly make you look tired, not glamourous. The beauty of pink is you can find a shade flattering for all eye colors and skin tones. Check out the Oscars 2020 Red Carpet looks HERE.

Ardell Lashes
Boxes and boxes of Ardell lashes overflow from our makeup kit for every job. Get those #lashesfordays with the 110s or 120s. The 110s add length, perfect for the doe-eyed natural look, while the 120s add volume for a more smokey-eyed sultry look.

The Designer In Me

I suppose I've always been a designer of sorts. It started in earnest when I saw a classmate doodling during 10th grade study hall. Being bored (or nosey), I peeked over. She was drawing clothing! I was intrigued. At the time, I was not confident in my size, which was compounded by the fact that finding fashionable and flattering clothing options for larger girls was difficult. This grew into a passion, and I attained my B.P.S. in Fashion Design from Marist College . My freshman year of college I saw a Help Wanted sign in the Fashion Department from an upperclassman who needed help with costumes for a show. I volunteered simply because I thought it would be fun to work in theater, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Even my fashion designs were theatrical. Every piece I've ever designed has had a couture aspect to it; wearable, but a little 'out th ere.' My Senior Capping Project was a collection based on being shipwrecked. I should have known then that makeup was only ...

Brushin' Up

I have a problem. Hello, my name is Jenn and I am a makeup brush junkie. There, I said it. Whew, it feels good to get that off my chest! But it’s more than just an obsession. On a regular basis, I work with an endless assortment of products, peopl e, and textures. Makeup brushes are my tools, and I need the right selection of tools to be able to do my best work on anyone and everyone. As a result, I have two sets of beauty brushes and one set of special effects brushes. Yes, each genre of work needs different tools. Beauty brushes tend to be softer, fluffier, and honestly, down right prettier. I have over 20 brushes just for the eyes, and another handful of foundation, contour, blush and powder brushes. SFX brushes are more dense, a little stiffer, and not as ornate. My collection consists of several of the same style (short and flat for general use), a couple specifically for glue, a splatter brush, and a variety of body painting brushes. Meanwhile, my personal brush coll...

Must Have Makeup Books

I often say I am a self-taught makeup artist. To me self-taught means no formal "school" training but self-taught never really just means "self."  Before YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, there were books (yes, books!). Books and practice (and a little YouTube later on) are where I got my start and I wanted to share my favorite ones that I still have in my little book corner that I continue to refer to. (This blog contains affiliate links) Stage Makeup by Rosemarie Swinfield This is the very first makeup book I ever had. It is a step-by-step guide with color photos for various stage sizes, aging, period makeup, hair work, and more. I still reference it when teaching because the photos and diagrams have been such a valued learning tool. The Makeup Artist Handbook by Gretchen Davis & Mindy Hall Interested in a variety of platforms to show off your work? The Makeup Artist Handbook discusses techniques for film, television, photography AND theatre. I continue to refe...
