Long Lasting Summer Make-UP

Melt-proof Summer Make-Up

Take the Time to Prime

Primer actually works – so take the time to put it on after you moisturize but before your foundation. This is the key to long-lasting foundation.

 Silicone is the Way to Go

A light-weight silicone based foundation will act like a barrier between your skin and the outdoor humidity; preventing your foundation from seeping into your pores. This is a perfect solution for good coverage without an afternoon reapplication.

 Creamy Shadows

Sweat and powders don’t mix, but sheer cream shadows tend to cake less in sweltering weather.

 Stunt Shine

To reduce that afternoon sheen one gets when it’s warm outside, dust a translucent powder over your T-zone with a large fluffy brush.

A Few Tricks For A Younger Looking You

 

Focus on Your Skin
Your makeup will only look as fabulous as your skin does. Professional facials are essential to keep your skin in tip-top shape. In addition, regular skin care at home is also recommended. Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize daily in order to keep your face hydrated and radiant! Don’t forget your sun screen. Tip: use a daily moisturizer with SPF like PTR oil free moisturizer or Eminence Vanilla, both available at Facelogic Redmond.

Use Bronzer Sparingly
Don’t over-do the fake tan look! It is all about the hint of color. Just fluff some bronzer over your cheekbones and along your jaw line.

Flushed Apples
Skin-warming cheek color will complete any look! Though, the older you are, be mindful that the rule of thumb for applying blush is to apply the color higher up on your cheekbones for instant definition.

Makeup Tips for Spring 2009

I’m writing this curled up on my couch sipping hot tea and watching huge flakes of snow float from the sky. Can it really be mid-March—mere days from spring?

I need sun! I need warmth! And if not sun and warmth, then at least something fresh and new and preferably not colored as white as snow or gray as rain. You, too? 

I say we create a little springtime beauty of our own. Harper’s Bazaar recently ran a piece on updating makeup for the season, and I’d like to share their tips. 

Here’s to clean, hydrated faces touched with gorgeous color.

One of the hottest cheek colors this season is peach.
Hmm, doesn’t that sound nice? Just one warning: Because the color contains strong pigments, use a light hand. Just a bit below the apples of your cheeks will keep you looking fresh but not overdone.

Lips are still red, red, red!
The trick with this color, whether you choose a matte or glossy finish, is to keep the rest of your makeup subdued to let it really shine. 

Get a lighter, brighter look with metallic eye shadows.
In shimmery palettes of gold and silver, many of these colors are quite translucent, which keeps eyes looking pretty not heavy.

Rim your eyes in dark liner on both top and bottom to make a statement.
Apply the rest of your makeup for a light, clean and natural appearance to create a dramatic focal point.
