Today I did the hair and makeup for BBC's Strictly Come Dancing and ABC's Dancing With The Stars judge Bruno Tonioli . He was an absolute pleasure to work with and made a list of the products I used on him so he could order them , as he loved the results.
I prepped his skin with Arbonne Regenerating Toner followed by Arbonne Restorative Day Crème SPF 20 , which is a really light , non greasy moisturiser and perfect to use under makeup for television . Then to take down puffiness and dark circles under the eyes I used Clarins Beauty Flash Eye Revive , which is one of my absolute must have products , and on top of that I gently patted on Liz Earle Daily Eye Repair which has smoothing and light reflecting properties.
I then applied 2 layers of MAC Face and Body Foundation in C6 with a Japoneseque Stippling Brush which gives a really buffed , even finish . Under the eyes I used Laura Geller Real Deal Concealer in Medium and Medium Deep mixed together to cover darkness and circles as it gives good coverage but blends really easily. To set it I used a light dusting of MAC Invisible Powder and a little MAC Matte Gel to stop him from shining under the strong studio lights. Bruno is naturally tanned but I gave him a light application of Chanel bronzer in Sahara for a healthy glow, without shimmer . On top of the makeup , to smooth out the skin around the eyes , forehead and nose to mouth lines , I used Clientele Estro Lift Wrinkle Filler which gives an effortlessly airbrushed look .
As Bruno has good hair and a good hair cut all I needed to do was rub a little of Wella Shockwaves Go Matt Clay through the ends to give a bit of texture and take away frizz but still leave a matte finish. I set lightly with L'oreal Elnett Hairspray in Supreme Hold.
All in all , with tv makeup for guys it's all about that "No Makeup, Makeup Look" that makes them look great but without being obvious why. Just healthy , well rested and with great skin!
