5 MAKEUP MISTAKES TO AVOID

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 22:18:00 +0000

Get SUPER Excited! Let's talk about makeup mistakes...

Did you know your makeup should never enter the room before you do?

Here are five makeup mistakes to keep in mind, before you leave home.

Dark Lip Liner and Light Lipstick: The trend now is to wear lip liner shade close to your natural lip color. If you do use dark liner like a red, berry or brown shade, fill in your mouth completely, and then top with clear gloss.

Draw in Eyebrows: If your brows are super-thin, make short, feathery strokes with a pencil, them top brows with powder.

Clump Mascara: Before applying wipe the mascara wand against the opening of the tube to get rid of excess mascara. Wiggle the ward from side to side, from the base of your lashes to the tip. Comb lashes before they dry to separate them.

Cakey Foundation over Bad Skin: Suffocating your skin with a heavy cover up will draw attention to the problem. For fines lines: Add a little moisturizer with your foundation. For blemishes: Mineral makeup can give great coverage for acne.

Foundation Line on the Jaw: To avoid foundation mask, select the right shade. Ask a salesperson at the makeup counter to pick out several shades and test a few on your cheek.

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 20:23:00 +0000

Get Excited! Celebrating the life of Aretha Franklin "The Queen of Soul". She left a legacy that should not be forgotten.

Aretha Louise Franklin (March 25, 1942 – August 16, 2018) was an American singer and pianist. She began her career as a child singing gospel music. At the age of 18, she embarked on a secular career, recording for Columbia Records.

By the end 1960's she was being called "The Queen of Soul".

In 1979 Franklin received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, also, her voice declared a Michigan "natural resource" in 1985, and became the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. Franklin received an honorary degree from Harvard University in 2014, as well as honorary doctorates in music from Princeton University, 2012.

Aretha Franklin number one singles between 1967-1971:

Chain of Fools 1967

Highlight and Contour Makeup Techniques

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 14:32:00 +0000

Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited! Let's talk about highlighting and contour...

Today I will share with you how to use makeup to highlight and contour your face, using bronzer, blush and highlighting powders. You can practice highlight/contouring techniques until you have perfected your look.

Products Needed:
Bronzing powder
Powder blush
Highlighting powder
Foundation
Translucent powder
Makeup brushes

1. Apply a foundation that matches your skin tone. Blend foundation well at the jaw and hairline until there are no visible lines.

2. Dust your face with translucent powder.

3. Suck in your cheeks to locate your cheek bones. Brush a small amount of matte bronzing powder under the cheek bones. Add bronzer to the bridge of your nose and at the temples. Blend all areas of bronzer well.

4. Brush blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Pull the blush back towards your temples, making the line of brush narrower as you get closer to the hairline. Blend the blush into the hairline and the bronzer using clean fingertips or a clean powder brush.

5. Use a lighter shade of powder to highlight your face. Brush highlighting powder on the bridge of your nose and around the outer corners of your eyes. Add a touch of highlighter to cheek bones, your chin and the temples.

6. Blend all of the cosmetics well so there are no harsh lines. Use a clean brush for the best blending results.

APPLYING MAKEUP FOR HOODED EYES

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:42:00 +0000

Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited! Let's talk about applying makeup for hooded eyes...

Did you know that hooded eyes are sometimes called bedroom eyes?

When applied correctly, eye color can help hooded eyes appear more open by minimizing the eyelid. Your goal is to make the fleshy lid area "push away" or recede, and help your eyes become more prominent than the eyelids.

Never use a dark eye shadow over the entire lid, because it makes it appear heavier and will close in your eyes.

Don't be tempted to highlight the brow bone too much because doing so can accentuate the hooded appearance.

PRO TIP
The eyebrow shape is very important, because attention can be diverted from the hooded eyelid with a beautifully shaped eyebrow.

HOW TO APPLY MAKEUP FOR WIDE EYES

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 19:47:00 +0000

Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited! Let's talk about applying makeup for wide eyes...

If the spacing between your eyes is wider than the width of one eye, your eyes are considered wide-set. Your goal is to create the illusion that they are set closer together.

*In this case, you need to darken the inside hollows of your eye next to the bridge of your nose more than for any other eye shape. Deepening the color helps this area appear to recede and makes your eyes look closer together.

*Begin all dark-color application slightly in from the outer corners and blend your shadow in and up instead of outward, because an outward blending will "pull" the eyes wider apart, and your goal is to "pull" the eyes wider apart, and your goal is to "pull" them closer together.

APPLICATION:

1. Highlight shade: Apply to brow bone and lid.

2. Mid tone shade: Starting from the outer corner of the crease, bring the color towards the inside corner of your eye. Be sure to apply a few more layers to the inside corners to deepen the color and help visually push the eyes closer together.

3. Contour shade: Starting slightly in from the outer corner, brush it across the upper lash line and up into the crease of your eye. Also sweep it underneath the lower lash line, being careful not to extend the color beyond the outer edge of the eye.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR SKIN TYPE

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 05:37:00 +0000

Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited! Let’s talk about skin type…did you know there are three skin types?

Your skin type depends on how much water is in your skin, which affects its comfort and elasticity. Also, how oily it is, which affects its softness. The three skin types are dry, oily and combination.

Normal Skin Type

Not too dry and not too oily, normal skin has:

No or few imperfections

No severe sensitivity

Barely visible pores

A radiant complexion

Combination Skin Type

Your skin can be dry or normal in some areas and oily in others, such as the T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin). Many people have this type. It may need slightly different care in different areas.

Pores that look larger than normal, because they’re more open

Blackheads

Shiny skin

Dry Skin

You may have:

Almost invisible pores

Dull, rough complexion

Red patches

Your skin is less elastic

More visible lines

Your skin can crack, peel, or become itchy, irritated, or inflamed. If it’s very dry, it can become rough and scaly, especially on the backs of your hands, arms, and legs.

Oily Skin Type

You may have:

Enlarged pores

Dull or shiny, thick complexion

Blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes

Oiliness can change depending upon the time of year or the weather.

No matter what type of skin you have, these tips will keep it looking its best.

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays.

Avoid direct sunlight and wear a hat and sunglasses.

Don't smoke.

Stay hydrated.

Wash your skin gently but thoroughly every day and never wear makeup to bed.

Moisturize.

Now that you know your skin type, you can choose the best products that will deliver a healthier, more radiant complexion.

CREATE HEALTHY SKIN SMOOTHIES

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:04:00 +0000

Get SUPER Excited! Let's talk about healthy skin...Did you know that antioxidants keep wrinkles and sagging to a minimum.
Smoothies are a great way to get all of the nutrients you need for beautiful skin in just one drink. Let's create some healthy skin smoothies...

The Clear Skin Smoothie

This smoothie, created by Koff, uses a protein powder made from hemp seeds, which is a balanced source of skin-boosting omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The dandelion greens are great for the liver, helping to detox the body and skin; the avocado and raw cacao powder contain a powerful mix of antioxidants, which help clear the complexion and get skin glowing; and the coconut water is loaded with potassium, which helps skin cells get the water they need to stay (and look) hydrated.

Blend …
1 scoop of hemp protein (Koff likes Manitoba Harvest Hemp Pro 70)
1/2 cup organic blueberries
1/2 bunch dandelion greens (no stems)
11 oz coconut water
1/4 avocado
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder 

NONI COLADA

Coconut water kefir is another great non-dairy smoothie ingredient, and it's loaded with probiotics -- the "good" bacteria that help keep our digestion running smoothly (and our skin clear as a result). The pineapple in this recipe, created by raw vegan chef Jason Andrew Wrobel, also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to calm puffy, irritated skin.

Blend …
10 oz coconut water kefir

Handful ice cubes
4 oz frozen pineapple chunks
1 tsp dried noni fruit powder
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Pinch of sea salt
Sweetener to taste (half dropper-full of vanilla stevia is great)

GREEN TEA COOLER

Created by Mary Kennedy, M.S., a nutrition and wellness professional who works for Stonyfield Farm, this smoothie combines two powerful skin foods: organic yogurt and green tea. The yogurt is loaded with live active cultures that provide the gut with beneficial bacteria, which helps digestion (the better your digestive tract runs, the better your skin will look); mint and honey also help fend off "bad" bacteria, and the green tea is loaded with anti-aging antioxidants.

Blend …
1 cup Stonyfield organic fat-free key lime yogurt  
1 cup prepared green tea, cooled 
1/2 cup loosely packed mint, chopped 
Juice and zest of 2 limes  
1 tsp honey 
2 cups ice cubes

MANGO YOGURT SMOOTHIE

Koff Boyer created this smoothie and says the frozen mango gives it its sweetness and smooth texture and adds skin-boosting vitamins B6, C, and E. Plus, the omega-3s in the fish oil help to regulate oil production, says Koff, which boosts hydration, helps prevent acne, and staves off wrinkles.

Blend …
1 tbsp fish oil
1⁄2 cup plain, low-fat, organic yogurt
1⁄2 cup frozen mango chunks
1⁄2 cup orange juice
1⁄2 cup ice cubes
1 fresh mint leaf (optional)

Pro Tip: Antioxidants keep wrinkles and sagging to a minimum.

How to Give Yourself A Face Lift With Makeup

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Sat, 10 Mar 2018 16:38:00 +0000

Hey Everybody! Get Excited! Get Excited! Let’s talk lifting the face with makeup…Did you know that applying makeup can lift/slim your face and also make you look younger?

Before giving yourself a face makeup lift use a moisturizer, night cream and SPF to help tighten your skin and enliven your pores. Let’s get started…

Eyebrows
Tweeze your eyebrows to achieve a more lifted look in the eye area. Use an eyebrow stencil to help you get a good arching shape that is neither too high nor too straight. Then apply light shade concealer underneath the brow bone using an angle brush. Follow with an eye shadow one shade lighter than your concealer.

Cheekbones
To lift cheekbones choose a bronzer that is a few shades darker than your natural color. Also, pick additional bronzer that has little shimmer. Dust a light line of shimmer bronzer from your hairline to the apple of your cheek. Put the darker bronzer in the area that is sunken in when you suck in your cheeks and not on the actual cheek bone

Jawline
To lift jawline apply your regular foundation over clean, moisturized skin Use a concealer brush to apply a liquid highlighter into the creases or jowl lines. Apply a lightweight, fluid concealer over the highlighted areas. This takes off the high-shimmer, while allowing a little of the radiance to show thorough, making jowl lines less obvious.

Pro Tip: Use a white highlighter on the inside rim of the eye to help whiten/brighten to give the eyes a more youth look

How to Apply Stick Foundations

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 02:18:00 +0000

Get Excited! Get SUPER Excited! Let's talk about stick foundation....Did you know stick foundation works well for normal to dry skin?

Let’s get started! Stick foundations are cream base that come in a stick form. The best
advantage of the stick
foundation is that it can be used as a concealer when applied over problem areas and imperfections. Stick foundations provide full coverage, hide blemishes, scars, discolorations and brown spots. Most of these foundations contain sunscreens and moisturizing ingredients. Stick Foundation is not recommended for oily skin.

1 Step Cleanse and tone your face
Always apply foundation to a cleansed and toned skin. Use a mild cleanser appropriate for your skin and cleanse thoroughly to remove all the impurities and oils that have accumulated during the night. Tone your skin with a toner that suits your skin.

2 Step Moisturize your skin
Always moisturize your skin before applying the foundation even if your skin is oily. The first step when applying makeup is the application of appropriate moisturizer according to your skin type. It will improve your skin quality and act as a protective layer to help trap the moisture in the skin and stop it from evaporation.

3 Step Apply the stick foundation
Roll up the tube and make sure the tip appears slightly above the container level. You can stroke the top of the stick with your fingers or apply the stick directly to your face. Roll the stick foundation over your face, foreheads, cheeks, nose and chin and blend carefully. Pay attention to areas where foundation tends to collect. Don’t forget to apply foundation to the neck, especially if you are using darker shade of foundation otherwise your face will look like a mask and unnatural. Make sure everything blends together and looks the same. Blend out to your hair and jaw line until the foundation vanishes.

Face Moisturizer - Keeps Foundation On Longer

noreply@blogger.com (Get EXCITED! Get SUPER Excited!!) — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 03:53:00 +0000

Get Excited! Get SUPER Excited! Let's talk about moisturizing the face...

Did you know that moisturizing is an important step to makeup application? It helps your foundation goes on smoothly and evenly. Before applying foundation make sure to begin with a freshly washed face, then apply your moisturizer to a damp face. You can use a light moisturizer or a heavy one; just make sure you choose the right one for your particular skin type.

Know your skin type when choosing moisturizers...

Moisturizers for normal skin are usually light to help even out any dry areas.

Moisturizers for dry skin are usually higher in emollients and are richer.

Moisturizers for sensitive skin are fragrance and irritant-free

Moisturizers for oily skin are extremely light and won’t clog pores. Yes, oily skin needs moisturizer, because it can often be over-dried by cleansers.

Pro Tip:
Moisturizer evens the skin’s porosity and is most effective when it’s left to absorb for a few minutes before you apply your makeup. Don't forget to moisturize your lips before applying lip color.
