Fall
Beauty guru Jon Lieckfelt tells how to update your look for the changing season.
BY CART VAUGHN
Jon Lieckfelt, founder and owner of Priss Cosmetics in Figo
Salon in Birmingham, is known for helping women — and
men — look and feel their absolute best in a very natural,
comfortable way, whether for the red carpet, wedding day or
every day. The makeup artist/hairstylist (left, styling a model
for a photo shoot) has developed a loyal fan base in Detroit
and beyond, and his client roster includes such luminaries as
Adam Brody, Jaime Pressly and Gabrielle Reece.
Platinum caught up with Lieckfelt to find out what's hot
for fall beauty (think a stained matte pout and sheer matte
complexion, he says), how to transition into the new season
and which products can help get us there. Not too trendy? Just
do everything with a lighter touch, Lieckfelt suggests.

CART VAUGHN: What stays, and what goes, from the sum-
mer makeup bag?
JON LIECKFELT: It's all about matte texture, so it depends
on what you already have. Strong eyes are key in shades of
bronze and plum. Start with a matte cream shadow, smudge
pencil and then layer cake liner over the top. Swap your dewy
summer tinted moisturizer for a matte foundation, but dilute
with a little water or moisturizer to keep it sheer. Lips are
matte, stained and unlined — nude is OK, but not glossy. And
always hydrate the lips first so the stain looks natural.
CV: Are we still wearing the dark, vampy nails?
JL: Weaning away and leaning toward bronze, gold and steel
tones. Come party season, ask for embellished nails — ruby
encrusted. Think Lee Press-On!
CV: What's a new hairstyle that screams fresh and modern?
JL: Braids at the hairline, loose braided chignons and loose
undone texture, almost frizzy-like. For help getting the look,
try liquid Fabric by Shu Uemura. And if your image isn't
wrapped up in your long hair, shorts bobs with disconnected
backs, a la the 1930s flapper girl, feel really new right now.

Only one team in Michigan could give Patricia a

They are the same team that researched this drug and continues
with many other clinical trials: the Harris Stroke Center
