Beauty tips

Prep your Skin

Prepare your skin for makeup application by cleaning your face with the right cleanser, tone and apply your spf 20 and above that will act as your daily moisturizer. In the evening you will clean your face from all makeup trace and apply your night cream. If younger skin you can use light moisturizer that is the appropriate one for your skin type.

Eyelash Curler

It gives the eyes an instant lift, make them look wide awake.

Foundation

Of all the makeup items a client may purchase in her search for beauty, is to purchase the right foundation. They are cream, liquid, wet & dry, powder, cream-to-powder, stick, mousse, cake, or tinted moisturizer.

The finish of the foundation can be matte, or satin to a sheer, medium, or full coverage.

To find the right color that is right for you, do a test on the jawline. Place the stripes vertically along your jawline. I have seen many women test their foundation on their wrists. That is a mistake because the color of our hand is never the same with our face. The best color match is the one that dissapears on the skin.

Concealer

Concealer is used to tone down skin pigmentation, cover dark circles under the eyes, conceal a blemish and tone down a ruddy complexion. The best way to apply concealer is to use concealer brush.

When choosing a concealer, look for a shade lighter than your skin tone.

Blush

For olive skin, try plums and peaches. Blonds will look good in pink and lilac.

Eyes

Highlight the entire area with concealer it brightens up the eyes and will make you look radiant. Champagne pink shadow brings light to the eyes. Apply it on the crease to give intensity. You can experiment with different colors like purples and lilacs according to your skin and hair coloring.

Lips

Use a lip pencil in natural color to line your lips. then fill lips with a lipstick that compliments your skin color. Take a thin tissue place over your lips take a brush and dust powder over the entire mouth. Repeat two more times, then apply lip gloss. This will help your lipstick remain for the longest time.
