6 Steps to Flawless Foundation

Are you always wondering which formula to use when it comes to your foundation? It can be tricky! Too much, and you look like a clown and too little gives you an unfinished made up look.

The best solution is to work with your skin and see what works best for you! Try different formulas until you find your right match. Schedule a consultation with your favorite makeup brands and have them match your color and formula for your skin type.

We love Whipped Foundation by TIGI. This fabulous jar is a truly decadent makeup foundation that offers ultimate performance and works best for normal to combination skins. It’s not only amazing; it’s oil-free and light and transforms into a powder finish.

Why we luv it – this whipped formula feels like silk on your skin and wears all day without flaking or feeling like you’re wearing foundation.

-            Always apply foundation onto clean moisturized skin.

-            Wait ten minutes between applying moisturizer and foundation to allow product to “settle”.

-            Add primer to minimize pores and to achieve a perfect finish.

-            Apply foundation to face zones individually and blend thoroughly before moving to the next zone. For a flawless finish use your favorite sponge. We luv Precision Blending Sponge by Artist’s Choice.

-            Concealer can be applied after foundation – this way, you will use less. Find a match closest to your skin tone.

-            Finish up your makeup with luminous powder if you’re not using a powder finish formula.

Trending On the Runways – Loose Voluminous Waves

Models looked sexy with hair falling loosely and long at a recent Alexander Wang fashion show, with hair looking natural and lightly tucked behind the ears.

“It’s always sexy,” said Guido Palau working with Redken and talking about the hair for the show, reported WWD. “It’s quite voluminous, it’s natural, but we’re putting a lot of extensions in and using a lot of thickening lotion.”

To get this look, add this clip-in 18” 8 Piece Wavy Extension Kit by hairdo to give added volume and length.

You can use as many as you wish!

Kate Middleton’s Gray Hair Has Created Worldwide Media Attention

Photo: Courtesy Zimbio

Kate Middleton attended the British Legion Event for Poppy Day this week and showed almost an inch of growth in her with a cluster of gray strands along her center-parting, causing worldwide media attention reported Lifestyle.Yahoo.com Friday.

Critics were quick to criticize her, saying that she should not forget to do her roots, with so many high definition zoom lenses following her around.  Kate is known for her otherwise perfectly long gorgeous locks. 

Those of us who have either gone totally grey or getting there understand the shock of seeing that first strand of grey hair appear suddenly.

Grey hair can easily be colored, however, some express concern about pregnant and breastfeeding moms using hair dye.

Some women in Hollywood are shattering the dreaded Gray hair stereotype and inspiring us to embrace it, regardless of age. We love Kelly Osborne, Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Blythe Danner and others for it.

Now, you can also add luscious volume and thickness at your part with gray hair extensions that provide ultimate styling and flexibility. The natural looking hairline allows multi-directional styling while the Heat Defiant fiber maximizes heat styling options. The easiPart by Easihair is available in 4 gorgeous shades of gray. 

If you have visible gray roots in between color, or a few strands, there are simple ways to conceal it, with products such as GreyFree by Giuliano. GreyFree is available in an array of colors from blonde to dark brown. GreyFree can be washed off easily with shampoo and water. 

Fun and Sexy Luxury Gift Idea

It’s that time of the year when we could all use a little extra pampering to help us get through the busy holiday season. It seems that every year holiday gifts start arriving in stores earlier, setting us all into panic mode, wondering how we’ll get through our busy schedules.

That being said, we’d like to suggest the perfect gift of luxury that will double up as a must have for you and friends.

Earthly Body 3-In-One Merry Memories Holiday Massage Candles are clean-burning soy based candles that melt down into a warm (never hot) moisturizing massage oil. The unique blend of seven natural oils provides a professional slip that deeply moisturizes skin, leaving it healthy and hydrated with a youthful glow.

This season, take time to relax, light up a candle and experience this liquid gold by pouring it directly onto the body for a warm massage, or in place of your daily moisturizer to melt away strain and stress that come with the holidays.
