New colors!

 Available Soon!
Some new colors just created- inspired by Pantone's color of the year Tangerine Tango, but also by a need in the FFM line for colors with more golden orange, and coppery tones. Everything from Tangy- a bright shimmery golden tangerine- we tweaked it more gold than electric orange like a true tangerine shade- to make it a little more wearable, while still offering that pop of brightness! Secondly we've had several requests for a deep golden green- so we re-vamped our Gutsy to fit the bill- and let me tell you brown eyes look amazing with this color smoked out! Lastly-our color Patina- our newest obsession- we've been wearing it the last few days OMG! a medium brown that rubs down into a satiny copper- Unbelievable- we could not be happier with this shade! wear alone or with black liner and lots of mascara for a rich pigmented eye. All three of these colors would wear well together as a trio- Prime lids with prep Step all the way up to eyebrow. Place Tangy on inner third of lid as brighter highlight in inner eye.  Using an angled liner brush-use Gutsy as liner, either wet or dry, at lash line on top and bottom. Smudge. Lastly place Patina in outer corner of top lid and smudge up and over brow bone blending out as you move up.

Color advice

email i received from a viewer after my color theory segment on Mass Appeal ‎/www.wwlp.com/dpp/mass_appeal/fashion/Flattering-makeup-for-skin-tones

Hi:

I always have trouble to know what color eye shadow and liner I should wear.  I am 65 and still love to do my eyes.  I have fair skin tone, and green eyes.  What color of shadows would flatter my eyes more and what color eye liner should I be wearing.  I always wear black eye liner which is a pencil.  I would love to order your product but I am having trouble trying to figure out what colors would be best.  Should I also wear brighter cheek color since my skin is fair.
I would appreciate any help.

Thank you,
Rosanne

Hi Rosanne, i'm so glad you contacted me. Green eyes always look most stunning and vibrant in any purple shade. It doesn't have to be a deep or dark purple-light colors work too. My color Fig is a great example of a lighter grayish purple that i use very often of women over a certain age. Another color i love for lining the eyes is my FFM shade of Invincible which is a deep brown with purple undertones.( my powdered shadows can be used as liners as as well) Rich plums- like my Passionate is another great choice ( you can see all these at http://www.fortunatefaceminerals.com/ and even if you choose not to use my colors- you can see the shades to get an idea of what to look for. If you still prefer a pencil- try a brown shade rather than black- it warmer and adds a richness that black does not. As for cheek color- brighter colors- that are sheer- to allow your skin tone to shine through tend to give the most youthful look- My colors First crush (bright pink) or Poppy (bright peach) are 2 great ones. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Scintillating

The winners received all three of my newest colors including Scintillating, Indigo, and Smitten, as well as the newly improved Pink Flush cheek color that imparts a sweet pink glow to the cheeks.
I have been rocking Scintillating quite a lot- it's a beautiful matte purple/brown. it makes a great liner and smudged into the out corners of my lids it really warms up complexion while adding much needed depth.

I will be hosting another- bigger makeup give-away- as we push toward reaching 500! So be on the lookout- you could be the next big winner!

Well- it seems I took a vacation!

it has been some time since I wrote anything at all here- or posted recent pics in my professional MUA blog- http://karriewelchmakeupartist.blogspot.com/ I am more than overdue! I do have a good excuse- really!
e sold out house in June-, but the one we were buying fell through (on seller's end) the day before we were to move in! With no place to go- my family and I spent 48 days living in a hotel- until we could find, purchase, close on, and move into another house! i'm happy to say were are all moved in- and LOVE our new home- but that was an experience like no other- and one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, frankly.
So anyway- the cosmetics line- Fortunate Face Minerals is doing well- and continuing to gain recognition- which is fabulous! I have also been lucky enough to appear several times as the resident beauty expert on a local television program- which also increases my brand recognition. I am still working to develop my lipsticks- which are great so packaging is the newest hurdle- got new labels- so I'm almost completed with them. I also am still tweaking my newest lipgloss base- which i think will be perfected soon- as well as cream based mineral makeup- (customizable to boot!)  and i am pretty happy with my airbrush formula- which I will just need to offer for sale- so much to do and so little time! Stay tuned for the announcement of these products!
