Roxanne Rizzo’s Clean Palette featured in Japanese Beauty Magazine “CREA”
Roxanne Rizzo launched her cosmetics line in Japan during the Spring of 2007. Japanese consumers are acutely aware and in tune with the benefits that mineral makeup provides to the face. Care and hygiene of the skin is most important to them, which is why they loved that Roxanne built her line around the same premises and values.
Not only do they love Roxanne’s cosmetics, but they appreciate and learn from her style and techniques. Roxanne visits Tokyo and surrounding cities once a year for numerous weeks just to train consumers and visit with hundreds of students at makeup schools. One such technique that is greatly admired in Asia is to always start with a ‘clean canvas’ — Roxanne has created a product that assists a consumer to do just that.
Since care of the face is always priority, Roxanne takes the time to properly cleanse and moisturize the face before beginning any makeup application. Only once the face is cleansed from impurities can she observe her canvas and recognize any imperfections, such as blemishes or under eye discoloration. Roxanne’s “Clean Palette” package includes color corrections which should be used first in order to conceal blemishes and even out the face. If the blemish is red you use a concealer with a more yellow tint and if the blemish is purple or blue, most often found under the eye, use a concealer with an orange-peach tone in order to correct. A common mistake in makeup application is using a lighter color concealer under the eye, which will only highlight the under eye circle and make it more pronounced. Once the color corrections are made you will use the concealer in your natural skin tone to go over these blemished areas and blend them into your natural skin shade. If you prefer fuller coverage, you can use a thin layer of the concealer all over the face, much like you would use a foundation, for a more dramatic evening look that still looks natural.
Just like a true artist, once the palette is clean and even, you can begin to work with color and textures to complete your look. The clean palette is used in Asia by women and men alike. Many consumers use this as a first step in their beauty process, while some will apply some lip gloss and use it as their only step to accomplish a natural no fuss look.
