Canada’s Top Ten is an event to celebrate Canadian Cinema, where Tiff announces the 10 best Canadian feature and the 10 best Canadian short films each year.
It was such a pleasure to provide makeup and hair expertise for my client TIFF (re: Liane Balaban, Actress and MC for Canada’s Top Ten 2009 Event).

BBRRRR! Winter is here 
with its below zero temperatures So here are a few helpful tips to take care of your skin: (1) Moisturizing: The most common mistake people tend to make is over-moisturizing their skin. Do you really know your skin type? Here’s how > Wash your face with a gentle cleanser (e.g. Spectro Gel), wait for 20 mins to test your skin, and then touch your face with clean hands: if there is no shine/oil on your skin surface, then you are combination dry; if your skin feels tight when you smile, then you are very dry; if there is visible oil in the t-zone (forehead, nose, chin area), you are combination oily; and if your face is completely shiny, then you are oily. (2) Winter Face Care: When your skin complexion feels flaky and sensitive that means you are really dehydrated (even though you may have naturally oily skin). I know you hear this all the time but drinking 8-10 glasses of water and getting 6-8 hrs of sleep daily are the 2 best ways keep your skin hydrated. Also it is important to exfoliate once a week in the winter (all skin types) coz dead skin can’t get hydrated properly. Do apply face cream on a daily and nightly basis. Please don’t fall for expensive skin care products. Some of you may love brands like La Mer (which is great) but did you know that Oil of Olay and L’Oreal are the two top selling skin care lines today? (3) Winter Eye Care: During the winter months use a good eye cream to protect the delicate eye area day and night. Also keep a pair of sunglasses handy to protect the eyes from wind and glare from the sun that will quickly contribute to tiny wrinkles and dehydrated skin. (4) Winter Lip Care: Applying a lip balm as and when needed is important. Use one with SPF 15 or more during the day. Warm sesame oil will soothe your lips too. Avoid licking your lips and don’t bite the skin on the surface of your lips (p.s. skin will never have a chance to heal if you nibble on it constantly. This may be hard habit to break for some but well worth the effort. (5) Sunscreen In Winter: It is just as necessary to wear a sunscreen during the winter as it is in the summer. The temperature has nothing to do with it other than how often to reapply. Snow is highly reflective and can intensify the sun’s rays. Wear no less that an SPF15 on your face, neck and ear area while outdoors (whether driving, dog-walking, snowboarding or shopping). Stay warm and be safe!! Credits> FacesByCarla
It was a pleasure and honour to do the makeup look on the lead model for the esteemed designer Alfred Sung’s Bridal show at Toronto Fashion Week.
Alfred Sung loved the looks at the show so much that he made the Fashion Week photos and videos as the key ad campaign for his Bridal line. More at alfredsungbridals.com.
The first photo was also featured as an editorial in Today’s Bride 30th Anniversary Edition.
