Makeup Tips to Help You Look Your Best

  • Line your lips with a pencil that is close to your natural lip line color. A line that is too dark draws the eye to the liner and not your beautiful lips.

  • Curl your lashes before applying mascara. (This way your lashes won’t break!) Curling your lashes opens your eyes and creates a stunning look.

  • Apply blush or bronzer on your cheekbones, and blend with a clean brush to soften hard edges.

  • Have radiant skin all day long! Simply spritz your face with a mixture of distilled water and peppermint oil. Just a few drops of peppermint oil added to water will reawaken luminous skin.

Quick Fixes for Dark Circles and Puffy Eyes

  • Always use eye cream. Lightly massage eye cream in a back-and-forth motion to increase the circulation and assist in draining out any congestion that could cause puffiness.

  • Put chilled tea bags on your eyes. Tired eyes respond well to cold. After you steep your tea, keep the bags in the refrigerator and pop them on your eyes for a five-minute pick-me-up.

  • Concealer is your best friend, but it can accentuate fine lines, so just stick to the dark areas and be sure to blend well. Choose a concealer that’s close to your natural skin shade.
Breakouts causing you problems ?

Did you know that acne breakouts in women could be an indication of what is going on internally? Hormonal deficiencies and stress are the main contributors to breakouts in adult women. If you have chronic breakouts, have your doctor check your hormone levels before making an appointment with a dermatologist.
