Hello Glam Girls,

Spring is here and it's time to do some Spring cleaning. Start with your makeup bag.

• Throw out any liquid or cream makeup that you've own for more than a year. i.e. mascara, foundation, etc.
• Make sure all your pencils have caps and re-sharpen after every use to eliminate bacteria from forming.
• Wash your brushes with anit-bacterial soap at least 2x a month. Try to keep these and your sponges in their own bag.
• Incorporate the new fun colors for Spring and Summer.

Spring and Summer 2012 showcase fun, bright colors. Neon and tangerine colors are hot this season. But don’t be afraid to wear these bright colors. They work on any skin tone or complexion. Just remember, less is more.

Apply the neon or orange color to lower lid only. These colors stand out on their own so you don’t have to worry about adding contour or crease colors if your skills aren’t quite there. Finish the look with liner, mascara, and highlighter under the brow. To balance the boldness of the eye, use a nude or soft lipcolor.

Visit our studio to create your own spring color palette.

Until next time.

Be Blessed, Stay Beautiful

Ok, summer is here and it's hot outside.  Too hot for makeup you may say. However, you can't go out without your makeup, but you don't want that heavy feeling or that look of your makeup melting.

Try these tips to help your face still look GREAT  even in the heat:

1. Thin out your foundation by mixing it with a lightweight SPF moisturizer.  Apply with a sponge.
2. Use a shimmer bronzer on face (forehead and cheeks) instead of foundation.
3. For long-lasting eyeshadow that won't break down in the heat, apply eye primer to eyelids to prevent creasing and to have a base for the eyeshadow to hold onto.
4. For long-lasting lips, using colors in season such as corals and fuschia, apply lipliner on entire lip to stain the lips, Apply a light lip balm to moisturize.

Now you can still look GREAT during the dog days of summer.

'Til next time.

Be Blessed, Stay Beautiful.
