Your makeup can last longer than you think...

 Having your makeup stay alive and fresh all day can be a huge challenge, especially in the hot sunny months.i receive mails sometimes from ladies who complain about not wearing makeup on hot weather days because of how It smears off the face,making one look horrible .here is rescue for you. These are right tips and products to keep you fresh and have your makeup last all day.
Moisturisers:A moisturiser will not only plump and hydrate your skin and allow foundation to glide on smoothly but it will also help your makeup stay on longer.apply your moisturiser on a clean face.(use an oil free -non-greasy moisturiser).

Primers and mattifiers:these are products that prepare your skin for makeup by creating a protective base for the makeup to adhere to,making it last longer. They create a smooth base , control shine and absorb oil and therefore they are especially good for people with oily or combination skin. Eyeshadow primers not only make your makeup last longer, but also make the color look more intense and prevent smudging and creasing.

Foundations:(if you will wear a foundation)wear a thin layer of foundation on your face(preferably a light weight liquid foundation) this won’t cake your face.

Face powder: it sets the foundation, making it last longer, evens out your skin and conceals minor blemishes. In addition, it also prevents shine and gives skin a matte finish.(use a loose powder for a more subtle finish)note: a powder brush is perfect for application rather than the powder pad.as it lightly spreads evenly and effortlessly.

Lips:filling in lips with a lip liner or applying a layer of foundation or concealer on the lips before applying lipstick will make lipstick stay on longer. Another trick is to use a thin layer of loose powder on the lips after you applied the lipstick.this will give a long lasting finish.

Waterproof mascara:they don’t run nor smudge. Apply as desired,(preferably two or more coats).

Oil blotters:these tissues soak away excess shine and oil from your face without removing your makeup.leaving you fresh all day…

My Lipstick and I

 One of the most interesting conversations I have had with clients is about lipstick. Every woman who has ever sought out to purchase cosmetics knows the power and excitement that a new look can provide. The lipstick is an inexpensive thrill that can brighten any rainy day or lift any blurred mood.
Lipsticks come in all shades, textures, pigments, finishes, and formulas. So how do you know what is best for you? With so many brands and colors to choose from, here are.5 simple tips for flawless lips……
Create a visual.See a lip color that you like in a magazine or brochures and want to give it a try ? Rip the photo right out and keep it in your purse. That way when you are shopping for new lipstick you can be able to access the photo.

Play with the finish.You really don’t know what you prefer until you try it. Test sheer textures all the way to mattefinishes. See what feels best on your lips and find what would be most comparable to your daily makeup routine.

Experiment with color.Always wanted that marylyn Monroe look? Look at a few different shades of red from blue undertones to orange undertones. Find what looks best with your skin tone and the level of color you are most comfortable with. The same goes for all shades when looking for the right tone, from nude,pinks to berries and mauves.

Note that you can play two by turning a bold colored lip into a more sheer tone by applying just a small amount of your lipstick to the lips with your fingers,then,Apply a lip balm,or a tiny amount of lip gloss to give a little shine. This will create moisture and you have two great ways to wear one lip color!

Ask an expert.Makeup artists come with a wide range of knowledge when it comes to products and color. If you are shopping at a makeup store don’t be afraid to seek for a second opinion. You can always learn from the pros and walk away with a few new and exciting recommendations.

Exfoliate and condition.Once you’ve picked your favorite color, exfoliating and conditioning are the most important things to do when it comes to lips. Exfoliate the lips gently with a quality lip scrub, to get all the dead skin cells off. Then follow up with a conditioning and hydrating lip balm. This is best to do at night before bed.

DIYscrub:Take a small amount of olive oil ,then mix with white table sugar. stir to make a paste,Apply all over the lips in a scrubbing motion and rinse with warm water. finally,apply your lip balm to leave in moisture.

The most important tip of all,no matter the type or colour of lipstick you wear,always and always wear it with a smile. remember,happy girls are the prettiest girls…..
