COLOR IS A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND



OBSESSIONS
Color abounds as Spring fills the air.  Be admired and adored with color! 
Michelle Williams and Sofia Vergara know how to make an impact using their color picks. We adore Michelle Williams in her pink Dior gown with matching red nails and lips. We admire Sofia as she steals the spotlight in coral lips and dress. Who says you can't match your makeup with your clothes for a hot fashion look. Try these flavorful  reds, pinks, corals to stir up attention. Make them your own and be the toast if the season!


WHAT'S BREWIN' IN BEAUTY?
Concealers; Oil vs. Oil Free

If your cup runeth over and you wake up with dark circles or stress acne - get concealer! For breakouts use oil free concealer like Jane No Show, Laura Mercier Secret Camoflage, or Makeup Forever. For red patchy skin use Dermablend Smooth Indulgences for Redness. For dry skin use oil inclusive  such as MAC Select Moisture Cover or Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Set. 

I have two bff concealers. For my dry, sensitive under eye area I use Maybelline Cover Stick -  a tried and true classic.  It’s waterproof for those allergy days. For acne and other imperfections, I use Ben Nye Concealer Wheel available online or specialty beauty stores. Your best bet is to tailor your concealer to your skin type.  Make sure you have your preference before you shop online or visit the makeup counter, so you purchase what’s best for you!

  

SIP ON THIS

Swollen Eyes - Fast Cure

For those uh-oh moments when you find yourself with swollen eyes, try my 

3X3 rule. Use any one of the 3 home remedies over eye lids for 3 minutes.

 Cold cucumber, or cool ‘n starchy pototo, or caffeine tea bag.

Makeup tip for swollen eyes: Use a natural, skin color matte shadow in vanilla, linen, or ivory over top lid. Line and define bottom lid with brown or gray liner, and or use brown shadow on the outer corner lid. Draw away from eye to define and create depth. Upper eye lid will have neutral matte shadow only. Play up the look with a hair adornment or a pop of color on lips to draw attention away from your eyes. No one will know you woke up with swollen eyes and you’ll have a fabulous runway look!
