Vincent Longo
From LoveToKnow Makeup
Vincent Longo continues to be popular with countless women looking for a quality cosmetic line to enhance their features.
About Vincent Longo
Though his parents were Italian, Vincent was born in Australia, raised in the great outback surrounded by stunning landscapes. This natural beauty inspired him to develop a good eye for complimentary color combinations, and he took his passion for beautiful things into the makeup industry during his teen years when his family returned to Italy. He is a graduate of the Makeup Studio of Milano, and his early jobs included working for such fashion giants as Versace, Armani, and Dolce and Gabbana. Through these jobs, he was called to New York to rule his own corner of the makeup and fashion empire.
He has designed the faces of some of the most famous models, including Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum, to name only a few. While also serving as the beauty editor of Elle magazine, he also got the chance to be a makeup artist and consultant for Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, and Estee Lauder.
Blazing His Own Color Trail
Bored with the hum drum formulations of current cosmetics, Vincent Longo began creating his own color mixtures in 1994. Thanks to his past clientele and friendly rapport with many celebrities, his cosmetics line was an instant success.
He also has invented unique versions of common base makeup, such as his Water Canvas Foundation, which still has yet to meet its match from a competitor. From dolling up supermodels to delivering an easy to use cosmetics collection to the average American woman, Victor Longo continues to thrive in the beauty industry, continually dreaming up new ideas.
Notable Products
While all of Vincent Longo’s products are of high quality, there are a few that have been continually noted as being the best in their class. The water canvas foundation previously mentioned is one such example. Subtle and natural enough for both men and women to wear, its special water formulation allows the skin to breathe and hydrate, continually renewing your complexion.
The Wet/Dry Diamond Eyeshadow is another great buy. Using light reflective pearls for its impact, you can apply it wet or dry as a powder or cream. Longo’s Baby Balm lipstick will leave your mouth baby soft with its Vitamin C and E formulation. It is also fused with apricot nut oil to bring further soothing action and protection from aging. With Vincent Longo, you will find bold colors that you would not normally consider wearing, but will discover to be fun and freeing. From matte earth tones to sparking pinks and purples, Longo’s designs cover all the bases!
How to Buy
Vincent Longo makeup is available through his official website, and also through Sephora. Some selections are available through Beauty.com and QVC as well. If you live near a Barneys in New York, or have a Bath & Body Works flagship store in your area, you may be able to find this cosmetics line there as well.
The Know-How
With any bold and beautiful product line, you’ll need a little help getting the look after you’ve gotten your new cosmetics. Especially with Longo’s vibrant colors and liberal use of sparkle and glow, a crash course in wearing brilliant hues can be extremely helpful. Fortunately, Longo realized this and included a “how to” section on his website called Magnetic Beauty. Go there to learn how to apply all of his specially formulated products, or stay right here on Lovetoknow to learn how to properly use Shimmer and Sparkle.
Vincent Longo makeup will inspire you to be boldy beautiful, even if you’ve never taken that fashion leap in the past. You’ll love the results from using these high end products, and others will take notice as well.
