Glow Your Way to Gorgeous

"Tips for Getting Better at Your Makeup"

1.  Study and find inspiration.  Check out You Tube for ideas or make an appointment with a Beauty/Skin Care Consultant.

2.  Practice.  Sit down and try different colors and different looks.

3.  Don't go on autopilot and hope it works.  Be educated on how you use different products.

4.  Vary your products.  Work out of the box and get out of your makeup rut.

5.  Take pictures and videos of yourself. Purchase a good set of glamour brushes.

  Be your own biggest fan.

White Towel-Gold-Silver!

Wrap yourself in a white towel including your hair.  This will now help you decide if your color preferences are more cool or warm. The white backdrop makes your skin show more pink or yellow tones.  Pink meaning cool and yellow meaning warm.

Now go and get some of your gold and silver jewelry.  Hold both up to your face and see which color seems to accent your color.  That will decide which color tone jewelry will look best on you.  Not to say you can't wear both gold and silver, but one will always look better on you.

Ok, now go out into the sunlight and check out the backside of your lower arm.  Are your veins more blue/purple=cool; yellow/green=warm.

Now you can feel more confident in knowing which color family is your best.  If you are cool tone, you will best in pinkish,cranberry, plum tone lip colors and blush. If you are warm tone, you will best in peach,orange,brown tone lip colors and blush.

And you thought you needed a professional to show which colors look best!!!

OK, we all know we are what we eat.  Well did you ever think that means your skin shows what you eat?  Well it does! So here is some interesting information on some "Beautifying Foods"!

1.  Salmon + other cold-water fish=Great Skin and Great Hair. So if you want great skin and great hair, add some salmon and fish to your diet.  And I don't mean the kind in a can!
2.  Spinach, Broccoli, Swiss Chard=Vitamins A&C. 
3.  Legumes, Kidney Beans, Lentils=promotes hair growth
4.  Brazil Nuts, Walnuts, Cashews, Pecans, and Almonds=healthy scalp
5.  Avocado=healthy, glowing skin
6.  Cocoa=now we are talking - protects your skin from sun damage and makes skin look and feel smoother.
