Mascara Sanitization
MAKEUP ARTIST Guru Ephraim Hunte has created his own foolproof technique to sanitize mascara wands and prevent mascara contaminated during and after makeup applications. How to: Apply rubbing alcohol 90% to a sheet of paper towel and swipe the used-mascara-wand through the alcohol saturated paper towel, before re-entering the wand back into the mascara tube. This will not only sanitize the wand but also introduce the anti-bacterial properties of the rubbing alcohol in the mascara formula. A great remedy to conjunctivitis (red eye).

Q&A with Ephraim Hunte You asked… He answered!!
Q - I am concerned with the little moles on my cheekbones. Is there a way make-up could be applied that would either conceal or minimize the sight of the moles?—Joanne
A - A lot depends on the nature of the moles. If they are just brown spots on your skin, a cream foundation or a powder-to-cream foundation formula will give satisfactory concealing results. If in some places there are large brown patches, try spot-treating the area with your foundation, i.e., pat a little excess foundation only on the places that need the extra coverage—do not repeat over the entire face. If your moles are raised above the skin, foundation may not cover them adequately. If you find them unsightly, a dermatologist can advise you on laser and other treatments that can erase your eyesore.
Q - I am writing in the hope that you can help me in some way with my problem. I have black marks on my legs from scars caused by mosquito bites and cuts and I have been trying for years to get them removed. I have tried cocoa butter, bleaching creams, even laser treatment. With the laser treatment, I guess I did see some kind of improvement but it was too expensive. I am currently using vitamin E oil on my legs but I was wondering if you could suggest something that would help lighten and even. This is something that has made me self-conscious and uncomfortable for years.—LD
A - The reason for your dark scarring is a condition called hyper-pigmentation—a darkening of the skin caused by excess melanin production. It has nothing to do with a person having “bad skin” but is usually a genetic problem. People who scar with dark discoloration may have an immediate relative, who is dark in complexion either on the father’s or mother’s side of the family. To treat the scarring problem, hydroquinone preparations are used. Popular formulations with hydroquinone, cortisone and retin-a offer very effective results but because of their steroid component, should only be used under the supervision of a doctor/dermatologist. Other preparations that cause skin lightening contain azealic acid, kojic acid, salicyclic acid, glycolic acid and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), but are not as effective as the hydroquinone cocktails.
Keep the questions rolling in!

Colours in eye make-up
e.When colour is intended to make a statement one major question takes precedence, that is, what is the deciding factor that dictates which colour dominates at a particular point in time? For me, it is the colour that occupies the largest area or commands the boldest or brightest eye-catching activity. For example, if you are wearing a red dress, then red will be the dominant hue that will challenge any other colour that you use, from your head to your shoes. If, however, your dress is white or black, then the colour you use on your lips or the colour of the irises of your eyes or your hair can make the dominant statement that will dictate your choice in eye make-up.
On darker complexions though, eye shadow colours in green or blue have the tendency to draw out an ashy appearance in the skin. Incorporating a warm hue (another word for colour) in your make-up, like rust (i.e.from the red family), can add balance and create a flattering effect.
Eyes
- If eyes are brown or hazel, a splash of green or blue will compliment and intensify the colour of the iris.
- If eyes are green or blue, trust the warmth of rust, cranberry, reds or orange-reds.
- In cases when the irises are dark, select your colours to complement your hair, lipstick or clothing.
Hair
- Reddish-brown hair colour is complemented with navy or blue-greens.
- Wine, burgundy or eggplant hair colour is complemented with a splash of gold, violet, fuchsia or blues.
- Clothing
- If your outfit is in the colour family of red or orange—gold, peach, rust, brown, green, blue.
- If you are wearing yellow, chartreuse or blue-green colours—gold, lilac, purples, burgundy, brick.
- For your navy, pink, dark green or grey outfit selections—pink, cranberry, rust/copper, fuchsia, or burgundy.
Note: If you are wearing black or white outfits, wear eye colours that will complement your lip colour, hair colour or the colour of your iris.
