I wanted to share a few bite-sized tips with you that I’ve compiled while in the beauty biz. Here are some of my favorites:
If lash extensions don't appeal to you and you have trouble putting on those individual ones yourself, find a pair of strip lashes that you love then take one of the strips and cut it right down the middle. Apply your lash adhesive, then take one half and place the lash on your eye, with the longer lashes on the outer corner of your eye. Take the other and do the same thing on your other eye.
Want to be tan without going in the sun or just even out your already tanned skin and make it glow? Try Air Stockings for the body. It’s an amazing spray-on tan that has diamond powder in it and it is waterproof so it will not come off on your clothing. There are 3 bases to choose from depending on your desired effect.
As you know, I do makeup and facials for a living. Clients always assume that I get facial treatments on a regular basis. Instead, I like to treat myself to an at home facial. Anyone can do this.
Start by using a dry body brush to get the lymph system moving and detoxifying. Then get in the bath with epsom salts for a hot 20 minute soak. Wash your face twice with the appropriate cleanser for your skin type, exfoliate your skin with an enzyme scrub and place a hot towel on your face. Next, wrap your fingers with tissues and get your super magnifying mirror out to begin gently extracting. Apply a toner that is suitable for your skin type. Then apply a thin layer of your clay or hydrating mask and wait 10-15 min. Rinse with lukewarm water, follow with appropriate serum and hydrator, then moisturize.
Stay tuned for more…
