It’s not everyday one gets to have their current makeup look analyzed by a top makeup artist!  So, I jumped at the opportunity to speak with celebrity makeup artist, Tia Dantzler. She has been creating beautiful faces since 2001, starting with weddings and now is the go-to makeup artist for some of the most notable celebrity faces; everyone from Viola Davis to Jennifer Hudson have been blessed with Dantzler’s picture perfect looks.
On the day I spoke with Tia she was looking at the photo I had sent her of my current look. …

We often get questions from members of the BeautyStat.com community about the ingredients found in makeup, skincare and hair care products. So we decided to put together a glossary or dictionary of the most common ingredients found in beauty products.

When we think about lipstick, we’re likely to think of a burst of color. There are so many out there that promise benefits, but very few contain any ingredients that have proven results.
Brands like Tarte and Korres love to use antioxidants, and we love them for this.  Recently, we discovered a line that takes lip care to a whole new level: BITE Beauty.

Created with the idea that our daily lipstick application should enhance our natural beauty, not cover it up, BITE Beauty is the first ever lipstick line to contain Red Wine …

Director of Product Development and Marketing Jean Louise Lilly tells us that Votre Vu sets the bar high when it comes to quality, and wanted to find the lab that creates products both “mindfully and scientifically.”  The company’s …
