AboutTyla Smith Expertise I can answer any question about makeup application, what brands would be best to use for you and your skin type and age, how to determine skin tone, and many other things having to do with makeup and beauty!
Experience I am a professional makeup artist for film, television, and fashion photoshoots etc. I have been doing makeup for over 18 years in the industry.
Education/Credentials I have a degree in Graphic design and Illustration as well as having gone to several different professional makeup and special effects courses around the country and have learned on the job from and from my mentors such as Billy B. and Candace Corey and Tim Vittetoe to name a few.
Question I am a 50 year old woman, I have olive skin, (Lebanese decent), clear skin--some pigment darkening on cheeks. I have used Estee Lauder in the past , but more recently---just buying off the shelf, Loreal mostly. I wear a moisturizer with sunscreen always---is there a good mineral makeup that goes on evenly and will not give me that over bronze effect? Is mineral makeup a wise choice for our hot dry climate in Las Vegas? Thanks for your help.
Answer Mineral powders are great because they have natural sunblock in them as well, just pick the color that matches your skin tone the most and blend into your skin in swirling motions with a mineral powder brush. Its fine for a dry climate, just make sure you use a good anti-aging moisturizer underneath it.
