8 Holiday Beauty Tips That Will Make Heads Turn!

November 4, 2015 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

Eight nights of gorgeousness and on trend looks to astonish your friends and family. No more “I don’t know how to do my make-up.” Here’s a whole season worth of head-turning, heart-stopping and just flat-out fantastic ideas for nailing your look every single day or night this holiday season.

1. Modern Sleek
Vibrant red lipsticks always enhance a holiday chic look, but this year try a matte burgundy for that retro-modern swagger look. There is a wide range of burgundy lip colors out this year, even a maroon is interesting, so try a few to find your favorite shade for your very own contemporary festive vibe.

2. Hollywood Glam
Push the holiday fashion envelope by accentuating the eyes with a thick black eye liner, sweeping it up in the corner. This gives the eyes a serious, modern intensity, while looking totally chic and freshly up-to-date.

3. Holiday Lip Liner Stains
Get more mileage out of your lip color this holiday season by using a lip liner with a stain! Match your lip color with a lip liner stain to make your lips look fuller and sexier than ever! So brilliant! What will they think of next?!

4. Perfect Holiday Cheeks
Your trusty blush won’t do this holiday season if it is in pink tones. You want to punch it up to a burgundy undertone with a slight shimmer to give your skin that spot-on evening cocktail-hour glow.

5. Smoother Fuller Brows
Add some definition to your brows for drama this season with a *New* gel brow balm. A good gel brow balm will appear so natural and will look like your own brow hairs, while keeping true to your brow’s shape. Best new product!

6. 70’s On-Trend Beauty
Tap into the 70s trend by applying a soft shimmery bronze eye color on the lid, then add a champagne eye shimmer all over, follow with a bold cat eyeliner. Take a minimalist semi-sheer burgundy lip-gloss, to create an understated holiday statement. This level of unfussy mixing will earn compliments and everyone will say what a master make-up artist you are.

7. Holiday Family Brunch
To look cute but not too dressy for a brunch, marry dark, bold navy eyeliner with a winter-white eye color. Master at leisure and still look put together by teaming a sumptuous highlighter on the cheeks and a low-key rosy blush for a natural but awesome glow. Add a maroon lip-gloss for oomph!

8. Holiday Rush Hour Beauty
Blue isn’t a hue you usually reach for in winter, but it brings dreary, holiday rush-hour eyes to life. Apply a soft matte, peach eye color on the lid, follow with a gray-taupe in the crease, and top it off with a shimmer-beige color under the brow. Add an elegant plum liner on the top lid, followed by scrumptious, dark-shimmer, navy-blue eyeliner under the eye for accent. Spice up the holiday cocktail hour with a matte burgundy lip color to provide an effectively super-luxe finish that will make heads turn!

Too Much Exfoliating Damages Skin

October 3, 2015 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

While doctors all over the country are selling strong abrasive exfoliant products to skim off wrinkles, what women don’t realize is their skin is becoming extremely thin and deficient in nutrients, thus the skin cannot maintain its elasticity, so wrinkles form faster. Not only is the skin getting thinner it gets dehydrated by using those strong exfoliants because it can no longer retain moisture as long. Once the skin becomes dehydrated it can no longer carry out its protective barrier role. If this continues, we’ll have more sun damage and skin cancer than ever before.

Ever wonder why physicians are telling everyone to use sunscreens? It’s because the protective barrier in our skin is gone. I see many in this generation having transparent, thin, ruddy, saggy and damaged complexions. Their skin is so thin you can barely touch the surface without breaking capillaries. Rosacea is at an all time high because women are overusing exfoliant products, trying to smooth wrinkles. It’s a sign that their skin can’t take it anymore.

Obage, Retinols, Glycolic Acid Peels, skin smoothing laser treatments are all to blame, to name a few. The prescribing physicians do not have time to oversee the care of each person, so month after month the patient keeps purchasing the same product without any direction, thus continuing on the same exfoliating path, ruining the surface of their skin. This problem is a global epidemic. Strong exfoliant treatments are at a new all time destructive high and it’s damaging effects are creating havoc to women all over the country.

While some of these exfoliant products can be very beneficial, you should not over use them. Period. You need a “Nutrients in your skin care program,” to build lasting suppleness and youthfulness to the skin. To properly apply strong exfoliating treatments you should only use them, “for one month,” (preferably in the winter months), and follow with highly nutritive products for the next three months, to heal the damaging effects of the exfoliants.

I recommend using pure, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients at optimal concentrations with proven scientific results so they can aid in building up the surface of the skin to achieve a strong foundation; nutrients that have building properties like DMAE, Lipoic Acid, Ester-C, Co-Enzymes, Peptides and Vitamin E. Pharmaceutical products can be found at licensed Aestheticians salons only.

Women with sensitive skin should never use strong exfoliants. Sensitive skin is already thin and exhibits inflammatory responses to various triggers such as allergens, preservatives or fragrances. Furthermore products that contain aroma-therapy often cause severe acne and dermatitis. Sensitive skin types require pure pharmaceutical-grade nutrients that have no fragrance to keep the skin healthy, free from break-outs, less irritated and hydrated properly. Women with acne have very sensitive skin, so they need to use a skin care program that is high in nutrients and is labeled for sensitive skin and is fragrant free.

It’s no wonder women are complaining of pre-mature aging. Strong exfoliants don’t promise one youthful skin! The key to beautiful skin is “Nutritive Pharmaceutical Treatments,” to keep the skin smooth, firm and youthful.

For additional information on the correct skin care program for your skin type, The Rouge Offers skin care consultations Tuesday through Saturday. The Rouge Licensed Aestheticians and professionals will get you on the right path and assist you with the right skin care program for the health of your skin’s future. Note: Doctors sell deep exfoliating treatments not nutritive treatments and or programs. Not all Aestheticians use Pharmaceutical grade skin care, so ask for pharmaceutical grade when purchasing products. These superior pharmaceutical ingredients build the skin’s structure from the inside out, allowing the skin to repair and restore the infrastructure.

2015 Fall Beauty News: Ready To Hit Refresh?

September 10, 2015 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

From flushed cheeks to rosebud and burgundy lips, with high pigment eye shades of teal and burgundy, to ultra-chic color eyeliners, this will capture the season. These quick moves will instantly take your look up a notch, and ready for fall.

It’s All about That Base
So you finally found that perfect foundation color… and then the season changes and your skin tone loses color. Bridge that August-to-December divide with a new updated custom blend to keep you perfectly on track. It’s all about that base this season, keeping your skin looking flawless, youthful and current. Nothing’s worse than having a dark foundation, while your neck is a lighter shade. Dark foundation lines around the jaw line are not a pretty site, so keep it smart and updated and keep your complexion looking real, with a perfectly blended custom foundation.

Sport Ski-Slope Cheeks
A generous helping of low-lying blush created this season’s prettiest après-ski flush cheeks. (Blood-pumping cardio and lift ticket not included). But while you want soft color impact with a warm shade on the cheeks, shoot for a diffused look over a heavy-handed application. Using comfort technology baked rose colored blushers are a hit, topped with a bronzing powder for a convincing finish. Use a sculptured contour brush to highlight cheeks, finish with a clean diffusing brush all over the face, for the most natural looking complexion.

Bold Up Your Brows
Full arches are still trending. Brushing hairs straight up and keeping them nicely groomed is equally key for fall’s brows. Have a professional shape your brows to perfection, and then apply a brow balm for definition and realism. Try a gel brow balm that is slightly lighter than your brow color drawing a straight line through the middle of each brow and blend. From there, fill in any sparse spots with a sharp eyebrow pencil, and sweep on a tinted gel to set.

Power to the Eye Shade Pigments
Perfect symmetry has long been the focus of conventional ideas about beauty. But sometimes a little imbalance can be straight-up stunning. This fall we just got a little more captivating with the addition of sophisticated pressed pigments that deliver intense color, magnificent shimmer and dramatic shading. Begin your look with a thin layer of concealer stick to ensure longer-lasting, crease-proof wear, then apply a mica powder to set. Use a gradient color of light taupe to soft brown gray a key in achieving dimension and definition, while layering a peachy color to add warmth, keeping a fall style looking on-trend. The mix of warm and cool tones with a peachy hue and gray tone works on a wide variety of eye colors and skin tones.

The Rouge Cosmetics is in their new location located in downtown Danville and they are ready to help you with all your beauty needs. Their Fall Trend Event is through September 30. Book your appointment today for a free Fall Make-up Update and find out the exciting looks of the trends of the season.

Fall… In Love with Beauty Confidence!

July 31, 2015 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

Time to chat about the top impressive and amazing fall/winter 2015 make-up trends we observed during the latest seasonal make-up shows and events. Looking through the options, we find make-up has a 70s accent with a sleek 90s vibe with a modern sophistication.

One of the classiest and the most ethereal alternatives we observed among the cosmetic events is the inclination towards natural looks and glowing peach like skin tones. We as women want to look natural with a youthful glow, but we also want to look sophisticated with a realistic updated look. This season eyeliner is the definite focal point with colors ranging from army green, deep plum and navy. Eyeshades capture the season in matte pecan shades and burgundies to clarify fall eyes.

Military-inspired greens were some of the most impressive and unique looks of the season. Combinations of matte peach eye colors on the lids with soft khakis in the crease with sweeps of burgundy accenting eyes, made subtle and hardly noticeable accents while making the eyes look charming, classy and fun. Stylist applied peachy highlighters illuminating the skin then slipped on lip tones of corals and soft pinks that took center stage, while mouth-watering sheer berry glosses set the look.

When it comes To Eyes, Opt For Arrows!

Arrows were the say of a big number of stylists, who came up with the most diverse and multi-shaped option possible. Turning this classic make-up design into a super modernized and cool alternative, they managed to achieve a charming diversity. When we talk about arrows, we can’t but come to the cat eyes. This fall they are introducing this uber-feminine and mysterious make-up option as a basic trend for the coming season. For some really memorable interpretations, you may turn to the options suggested by Karen Walker, Simonetta Ravizza and Jean Paul Gautier.

Slightly Messy and Effortless Will Also Do

The interesting and noteworthy option by our observation is also worth talking about, coming with an innovative and creative solution, the essence of which is creating maximum messy and smeared effect of the eye-shadow, applied to both upper lid and under eye. This effect gives the eyes a very natural no make-up look without effort. Which some girls will love.

Bluish Eye Shadow Accents

Coming to color diversity, we may first of all talk about the bluish accents we saw. Creating an interesting comeback of the 90s they produce an effective impression for the coming season. The look is interesting and bold. The Look: Start by applying a neutral eyeshade in the brown family all over the lid and crease, follow with a navy blue arrow liner. Find a shimmer blue eye color in a medium or light shade and sweep it along the accent area and under the eye for a glorious finish. This will give you that total undeniable impression of a chic up-to-date look, the girl that knows her stuff and is confident and secure within her self.

The Rouge Cosmetics color specialist will be offering make-up updates for the fall beauty season, starting August 25th. Please call for more information and to book your appointment.

Breakthroughs in Sun Protection and Antioxidants

July 3, 2015 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

Research shows that aging skin is the result of more than just years on the calendar. Exposure to environmental elements like sunlight, smoke, and air pollution causes photo aging in the skin. Not only does this lead to the formation of lines, wrinkles, and discoloration, it can lead to more serious skin conditions, including skin cancer.

A comprehensive preventive program can help prevent environmental damage as well as the onset of more serious conditions. Sunscreens with titanium Dioxide, an essential first line of defense, only block up to 55% percent of damaging free radicals that cause the breakdown of collagen and chemical reactions in skin.

Using antioxidants along with sunscreens is your best option for protection. Studies prove antioxidants effectively neutralize chemical reactions generated when the skin is exposed to environmental assaults. When used together, antioxidants and sunscreens with titanium dioxide (without parabans), provide optimal photo-protection, preventing signs of premature aging, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promoting skin health. Ongrien Technologies has developed a full menu of super-antioxidants formulas for all skin types, designed to provide the most advanced protection from environmental damage.

Using a perfectly balanced antioxidant provides broad range photo-protection and conquers damage at every level of the skin. A formulation including DMAE, Lipoic Acid, Esther C, and Co-enzyme is a superior combination of antioxidants known to heal and repair damaged skin. As supported by clinical studies, the addition of Esther C enhances the efficacy of Lipoic Acid for increased synergy while regulating pigment production. Combining DMAE and Co-Enzyme in this trusted antioxidant quartet also accelerates cell turnover and stimulates collagen synthesis and repairs damaged cells to boost skin’s structure for a firmer, brighter and healthier complexion.

Aging Is Optional
Until now, as proven by pharmaceutical research labs, only certain creams and serums could deliver vitamins into the skin, with the discovery of using perfectly balanced antioxidants it not only helps to turn back time but it helps reverse the signs of aging, while titanium dioxide sunscreens is ideal for future skin health and prevention.

Sunscreen Truths
Stick with a SPF 50, where sun protection tops out — anything higher is purely an advertisement. The Environmental Working Group also advises that you avoid ingredients like oxybenzone, which can enter the bloodstream or trigger allergic skin reactions, and retinyl palmitate, which may speed development of skin tumors and lesions.

The Rouge Cosmetics is offering skin care consultations all month long in July. Come in and discover what antioxidants are suitable for your skin and find out what is best in protecting your skin in the summer months ahead to reduce sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles for future skin health.

Why Custom Blended Foundations Are The Perfect Recipe For Natural Looking Skin!

We see women every day coming in our store complaining how they cannot find a foundation that matches their skin tone color. They have searched high and low, from high-end department stores to Target, wasting time and money trying to find a magical blend.

At The Rouge Cosmetics we specialize in custom blended foundations formulating a perfect recipe for each individual. Women are amazed how even their skin looks and how beautiful their complexion is. Our custom foundations have medium coverage, with a sun protection of SPF 25. The feel is very light—almost weightless—which is why many women experience a “second skin phenomena” with our custom blends. You will actually use less custom foundation than other foundations since it is a precise match to your skin tone color.

You’re a Candidate if:

You have extremely pale or translucent skin and or dislike how you look in most off-the-shelf foundations.

You have very red skin and struggle to find the correct foundation tone, (most look too orange or too light on your face and you end up looking chalky) or the intensity is wrong. We create a foundation blend that gives the skin warmth, while mixing in a green pigment to neutralize the red, giving the skin a healthy second skin look.

You are a sophisticated beauty shopper and, even though you have found a ready-made option, you like the process of selecting special skincare options and a specific finish for your foundation, opting for a perfect blended foundation for yourself.

Your foundation “graveyard” (products you purchased, but ultimately didn’t like or was not the best for you) keeps growing.

You like moist foundations and a luminous skin look, yet you find most foundations are too oily and separate on the skin. With a custom blend you can add moisture without the oil, which makes the skin smooth and polished.

You have oily skin and can’t wear foundations because your skin shines. With a custom blended foundation we add an oil control ingredient right into the blend, to control oily skin and balance t-zone.

Your skin is beautiful with yellow undertones but nothing matches. We use a purple pigment in the custom blend to brighten, clarify and to give the skin a radiant natural look.

Your foundation gets into the folds and smile lines. We use extra-hydration and a micro-sphere primer to firm, lift and minimize fine lines.

Some women say finding that perfect foundation is like finding that perfect pair of jeans. Others say it’s like the ultimate handbag or most comfortable heels.

What we promise? No more guessing. Just perfection and satisfaction!

Custom Blenders Tell All
“It’s a super individual need for me, sort of like…I finally nailed this foundation thing!”

“It’s a special experience to get a custom foundation specifically blended to your skin. You feel more confident than ever!”

Come into The Rouge Cosmetics for a free Custom Blend Consultation and to discover all the wonderful benefits in having a custom blended foundation made just for you and that matches your special skin tone color.

5 Simple Rules for a Natural Make-up Look

May 5, 2015 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck 1 Comment

Rule 1. Let your skin shine through. Prep your skin, which means exfoliate! You’ll create a radiant canvas and glow for BB Creams or foundations. For an everyday look, don’t overdo make-up with tinted moisturizers. Use lightweight products to even out skin tone. A foundation that has added pigment is a perfect way to get that no make-up look. It has medium coverage without the sticky feeling of a cream. If you are dry use a moisturizer with peptides so foundation glides on skin and looks smooth. If you have dark spots and blotchiness use a concealer stick then apply a BB Cream skin corrector to smooth out the complexion. Cheeks should look baby fresh. Try an illuminating soft pink blush shade that looks like a baby’s cheek color to give the complexion that fresh, natural sheen.

Rule 2. Apply a powder that is made of “mica.” Mineral powders tend to give the skin a matte, dried-out look, accentuating wrinkles. Mica powders are formulated to make the skin look silky and is three times more refined, giving the skin a more refreshed, smooth and satiny glow.

Rule 3. Choose a neutral Shadow. Apply a shade that’s similar to your skin tone or just a hint darker all over your lid. If you have redness on the lid, balance it out with a yellow-beige shadow to brighten. Stick to mattes. Non-sparkly eye textures disappear into skin leaving no chance of creasing, and it looks smooth and oh-so-natural.

Rule 4. Add soft definition using waterproof eyeliners. Apply the eyeliner along the base of the lash, then smudge it with a Q-tip, softening the edges to make it look smoldery and smudgy. There is a rule of color types in eyeliners. Use dark browns, blacks, and dark prune colors. These colors will make the eyes look alive and vibrant, and in focus. Do not use light colored eyeliners for the top liner as eyes will then look sleepy and featureless. Never use red-brown eyeliners as this makes eyes look too weary, tired and red.

Rule 5. Boost your pout with a new budge-proof lip liner stain outlining the lip a little further than your own natural line. Lips look full and natural, plus these wear seven times longer than normal lip liners. Add a new comfort technology lip plumper for volume and smoother lips. Lip colors this season are all about nudes and mouth-watering pinks, so try some scrumptious new color to stay on-trend.

The Rouge Cosmetics new location on East Prospect Avenue offers girls of all ages a chance to see custom foundations blended for their individual complexion and perfectly formulated for their skin tone color. They also offer a full line of cosmetics and advanced skin care for all of your beauty needs. You may want to check out their new Spring Line by Fleur Visage Cosmetics and catch a Nude Attitude.

Beauty Buzz: Springtime Transformations

April 9, 2015 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

Springtime is a marvelous season to make a change to your make-up wardrobe. It is positive, energizing and uplifting. It encourages you to shift gears, wearing different lip shades, radiant blushes and softer eye palates. As sumptuous sweaters get traded for lightweight silks and cottons, the same texture transformation should be happening in your make-up bag.

This spring, textures brilliantly straddle the line between extraordinarily silky and luxuriously velvety. High-pigment color feels shockingly light and the shades of the season are effortlessly wearable in subdued nudes that are softer and more sophisticated than ever before.

Spring Protocol 2015

Lipstick Attitude
There is a Nude Attitude this season, giving you that effortless, natural lip look. Lipsticks are silky and sheer; they soften and soothe, all while hydrating your lips. Try a soft-nude or a silky-mauve tone to give the lips a fuller, on-trend, plumping sophistication.

Lip Gloss Manners
New this season is the all-in-one plumping-gloss. New technologies in cosmetics make life so much easier and efficient. Look for lip glosses that have these key ingredients such as: Plumping action, peptides to hydrate, ultra shine and sheer color. Your lips will look smoother and more youthful than ever!

Lip Liner Etiquette
Lips are supposed to look smooth, full and defined. The new technologies in lip liners are phenomenal. Try a new, waterproof lip-stain to define and add fullness to the lip. Using a gel stain liner not only makes the lips look fuller, but also holds lipstick on for hours longer. If you don’t want to use a lipstick, find a lip liner that is close to the same color as your lips and apply all over your pout for a beautiful effortless, full-lip look.

With every change there comes a season, and with every season there comes a change. This spring we are not only changing colors in our cosmetics, but we are doing some changes in our business. The Rouge Cosmetics is moving to the heart of beautiful downtown Danville—to 145 East Prospect Avenue, Suite #100. With constant change in life, they say change is good; it is positive and challenging for the soul.
Drop by and tell us what you think of our new location at 145 East Prospect Avenue Suite #100, opening April 1st! We would love to see you and hear your comments on your new shopping experience.

Spring Beauty Trends

March into Spring with a New Trendy Look

This season, add a little skip in your step with a mouth-watering lip shade that is fresh and brilliant. It may be your year to try something new, to discover a brave new color and spice things up! When exploring new colors, always choose a hue that complements your skin tone while also stays true to the trends of the season. Get out of your beauty color box and try something like a watermelon lip shade, or a soft, moss-green eye color; don’t underestimate how original it may be on you. Also investigate a new shimmer blush color, such as a soft pink or a warm shade of berry. You want to look like yourself, yet with a fresh, new twist that brightens.

Transform Eyes
Even though there is a multitude of peach, gray, pink and bright colors in clothing this season, you don’t want to match your make-up to these colors. Our enchanting cosmetic fashion creates a new kind of beauty. What works now is naturally colorful, fluidly-applied, pastel eye shadows with a natural edge. Apply nude pink on the lid, then sweep a soft, moss-green shade in the crease, finished with a warm, light-shimmer beige or golden tone under the brow. These colors will help complement the spring tones you wear, making you look unique, trendy and updated. Soft eye colors will brighten up your look without a dramatic change, while you appear refreshed, polished and ready for spring.

Illuminate Skin
Gleaming skin is in, whether delicately pinked or reflecting a healthy glow. Blush colors are updated with baked pinks, soft rose gold, and peach tones with a touch of golden bronze for that nice lift and youthful glow. Just sweep it over the apple of your cheeks and a little on the forehead. For a freshly-showered, silky look to the skin, add a delicate face bronzer shimmer to the cheeks and forehead.

Go Glossy
Shine is the simplest seasonal update. Because really…who doesn’t want to add a little brightness after a dull winter? Lips want all the attention this spring. The secret in seeing a different or brighter you is in changing your lip color! Simple, right? This season we’re seeing subtle radiance with high pigment pinks, mouth-watering mauves, and delicate corals. These colors will complement any spring fashionista, while keeping it real without looking like you tried. Keep it simple, smart and edgy. Don’t forget to use a nice lip treatment to soften dry lips. Choose lip conditioners that have peptides to increase hydration, plump collagen and smooth lines so lips look full and youthful.

Take the Spring Challenge
Take charge today and March into Spring with a new edgy look that’s more refined than ever. Find out today and move in the right direction to find your perfect spring wardrobe of colors that brighten you, leaving you feeling confident and natural.
