BEAUTY TIPS
FROM A TOP MAKEUP ARTIST
Eliano Bou Assi is Director of Artistry and Education at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics Europe, Middle East, India and Africa. We have spent 15 minutes with him to learn more about his glamorous career and share his top beauty secrets!
“Since a very early age, I had always wanted to be a makeup artist. My father is a hairdresser and my mother is a makeup artist. I started my career very young, near them. I was studying and working with them at the same time. After finishing law school, I worked as a lawyer for 4 years, but hairdressing and makeup remained my hobby. Gradually, however, I decided to switch careers and dedicate myself to my hobby. I consider myself very lucky, as I got the chance to work with Bobbi Brown herself for more than 10 years. I learned a lot from her and I regard her as my mentor.”
ELIANO’S BEAUTY SECRETS
-The easiest way to turn a day/work look into something for a night out…
Always make sure that your concealer, foundation and powder are correct. With a good base, you can take your makeup look from day to night in minutes. Just add a bit of blush on your cheeks or a brighter or darker colour on your lips and accentuate your eyes with a bit of shimmery, or dark eye shadow. Then add another coat of mascara. Finish with a touch of shimmer on the cheekbones and you are ready for your party!
-The secret to creating a flawless base…
Prime your skin properly by solving any problems (oily, dry skin) before applying any makeup. More than 70% of skincare can be provided by a beautiful foundation or concealer. The thing I love about Bobbi Brown skincare is that it’s 2 in 1!
