Emmy Makeup Trends 2013
Posted on September 27, 2013
There were many great beauty moments at this year’s Emmys. Sporting the hottest trends of the season our favorite television stars took to the red carpet. We saw quite a few rising trends like the bob as well as chic ponytails and timeless looks like bright lip shades. We’re going to show you how to get the top three looks while reliving the red carpet!

This look was inspired by a high-fashion version of a 1965 Vogue magazine cover.
Eyes: Cover the lids with ZuZu Luxe eye shadow in Casino. Contour only the crease of the lids with shadow in color – Vixen. Brush on black liquid liner Raven on the top lash line and bottom. Now don’t be shy with the mascara!!
Skin: Always use a concealer and give a natural glow with this gold highlighted bronzer D-28 by ZuZu Luxe.
Cheeks: Try our blush in Samba– I feel like that will look great on most skin tones.
Lips: I love the lip color Siren by ZuZu Luxe.

To achieve this look get “shimmery eyes” by mixing Platinum shadow all over from lashes to brow bones, concentrating color mostly on the inner corners and lids. Extend the shimmer past brows and use as a highlighter on cheekbones and temples. Next, line lashes with a black liquid liner like ZuZu Luxe Raven to thicken your lashes then comb through them with Onyx Mascara.
To offset the light-reflecting eyes and cheeks, be sure to keep the rest of the face matte. Moisturize skin (Gabriel Organics) and then apply an oil-free liquid foundation like ZuZu Luxe. Next, tap peachy Gabriel Cosmetics Apricot onto cheeks.
For those poppy lips, we recommend swiping on Coral Gabriel Cosmetics lipstick straight from the tube and perfecting the line with a lip brush. This statement lip is all the rage this fall.

We fell in love with this gorgeous look on the red carpet. This look was inspired by the German model Veruschka from the 70’s. This look is more modern with soft blended bronzing, a pop of pastel to the eyes and a neutral lip. For this shimmery eye use ZuZu Luxe shadow in Dusk on eyelids and lining underneath the eye. To make your eyes pop like Padma’s use Prism on the inner eye. For the retro lip look try Ultra Suede topped off with Gabriel Color Champagne lip gloss.
Get your Hollywood glamour on!

Perfect Your Pout
Posted on January 23, 2013
The Heartbreaker Collection features two sets in either warm or cool tones designed to create the perfect pout! With Valentine’s Day around the corner I wanted to share the steps I take to create the perfect pout.
STEP ONE: Prep & Prime
Prep your lips with an application of Gabriel Organics Marine Lip Treatment to ensure your lips are soft and smooth (be sure to blot, lips should be moist not wet). Prime them with foundation and powder. This helps prolong the lipstick and creates a blank canvas
STEP TWO: Line Lips
Line your lips to create the desired shape. Use a lip liner with a dull point rather than freshly sharpened, this will create a softer, prettier definition.
STEP THREE: Fill in Lips
Fill in entire lip area with the lip liner used to shape your lips. This will help prolong the lipstick.
STEP FOUR: Apply Lipstick (ZZL Starlet Lipstick from the Heartbreaker Collection is used in picture)
You can always apply straight from the tube however using a lip brush helps with precision, I actually dipped the lip brush into the tip of the lipstick.
COLORS USED: ZuZu Luxe Cherry lip liner and ZuZu Luxe Starlet Lipstick from the Heartbreaker Collection.
Send us your pics, we would love to see your Perfect Pouts!

- Start with smooth, clean lips. TIP: use the Gabriel Organics Red Seaweed Gentle Exfoliator.
- PRIME the lips using your favorite Gabriel Color or ZuZu Luxe concealer all over the lip area.
- APPLY your pucker perfect lipstick shade directly to the lips and use your lip brush to soften edges.
For extra staying power: blot once and reapply color To add shine: apply your favorite lip gloss on top
Mascara Q&A
Posted on December 18, 2012
Do you ever recommend using a primer before applying mascara? Why didn’t you include one in your cosmetic lines?
Most have synthetic fibers that may be harmful to the delicate eye; however I would recommend our Clear Mascara, which coats the lashes and makes them appear fuller.
What are the major benefits with going with an all-natural mascara?
You are avoiding harsh chemicals found in mass-market mascaras. Ours helps promote healthy lash growth from vitamins and herbal extracts instead of mascara with synthetic fibers that just mimic.

Blooming Flowers!

Peonies
Roses
Holiday Arrangement
Peonies are my favorite flower and I got inspired by the beauty of nature to decorate my home.
Here are some tips for making your lovelies last their longest:
- Put in lukewarm water as soon as they are cut (slanted 45-degree angle cut).
- Use warm water (better absorbed versus cold).
- Add homemade flower preservative: Mix 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of lemon or lime juice and a quart of lukewarm water.

Gabriel Cosmetics has introduced Fall & Holiday Gift Sets. Here is a face chart with a step by step guide to recreate The Holiday Basic Collection set look.
Cool vs. Warm Skin Tones
Posted on November 12, 2012
I think most people should know if they have warm or cool undertones. Knowing this is important in choosing cosmetics, clothing and hair color. The quickest way for someone to determine this is to ask themselves the following question;
What color looks best on me, pink or peach?
Pink: Cool undertones
Peach: Warm undertones
Done!
