CELEBRITY MAKEUP ARTIST GINA BROOK GIVES BEAUTY TIPS ON HOW TO GET GLOWING SKIN WITH SHU UEMURA COSMETICS

Celebrity Gina Brook was the host of an amazing exclusive Shu Uemura makeup Master class held at The Hudson's Bay in downtown Toronto on March 28,2014 alongside the friendly team of Shu Uemura makeup artists led by Account Manager and Beauty Specialist Sasha.

My experience at the event was very enjoyable. Gina is a truly artist, she shared her beauty tricks and tips with an audience of 50 beautiful ladies who sat and watched as Gina explained to the tunes of Madonna in detail step by step the process of creating the "Illusion" of having radiant skin by "Contouring", focusing on one's facial high points; above eyebrows, around the eyes, down the nose, on top of the cupid's bow, across the decollete and on top of the shoulders. 

Gina made a point that Contouring is a light form of "Art", a form of expression where having the right tools, the right amount of product application and where it is applied is very important to achieve the right look.

During her training she also emphasized that women should focus on one best facial feature (high point) and work with it. She talked about treating oneself like an individual, looking at yourself objectively and being positive  vs being negative about one's looks, appearance or trying to compare to magazine cover models. 

As she was making those points during her presentation, I thought to myself what a great role model she is, not only is she teaching her art and skill set but she's also empowering women to be just themselves, kind loving and realistic about who they are suppose to be by enhancing their own natural beauty.
