Women of Color Wednesdays

The Bollywood Smokey Eye:

The Smokey eye for an Indian woman is a little different than the traditional smokey eye. Bollywood is all about color and drama. To create the perfect Bollywood smokey eye, here are a few tips....

*To widen the eye, use a dark color on the outside of the eye from the lash line to the crease...use a bright color on the inside of the eye and blend into the dark color.

*Use a light shimmery color on the lid

*Line the bottom of the eye with a dark eye color

Beauty Tip Tuesday

Beauty Tip Tuesday:

To keep eye makeup from smudging and to help it last longer, consider the following tips...

1. Use an eye shadow primer to help the shadow to stick to the eye.
2. Use a cream eye shadow and set it with a powder eye shadow.
3.  Use a liquid liner, once it dries, it is harder to smudge than other types of liner.
4.  Use a Water Proof mascara...

Nail Tip of the Week

Cracked Heels....

 Do not exfoliate cracked heels with a pumice stone. Please wait until your cracked heels heal and close before using a pumice to exfoliate.

Beauty Tip Tuesday

Beauty Tip Tuesday...

Removing your makeup is essential. It is important to remove your makeup every day. I suggest using a makeup remover first before following it up with a cleanser of your choice. Also, don't forget to exfoliate and moisturize!!!

Beauty Tip Tuesday!!!

Puffy Eyes...

We've all asked or had clients who've asked about remedies for tired puffy eyes. Some times the question has also been combined with 'how to get rid of dark undereye circles'. We've probably offered suggestions (or have been given suggestions) similar to these....

*Apply cucumber slices over closed eyes
*Applying a cold(frozen) metal spoon over the eyes
*Apply hemorrhoid cream to the puffy undereye area
*Get more sleep
*Take iron pills
* Use concealer or foundation to cover up

I'll add a few more....

*When sleeping, elevate your head so that fluid does not settle around your eyes
*Avoid salt, which retains fluid in the body, including under the eyes
*Use Eye Creams containing Vitamin K and retinol
*Stop Smoking
*Eat properly and drink lots of water

'Women of Color' Wednesday

Here we will share tips for Women of Color....

Latin, Indian, and Asian women have Olive-toned skin and therefore, using a foundation with a yellow undertone works best for them.

Beauty Tip Tuesday!

Today's tip is great to remember when taking pictures, whether you are the model or the makeup artist....

 When taking pictures, avoid using foundations with an SPF.  SPF in some foundations can cause you to appear "white" in photos.

 Liquid and creme foundations that have a matte finish are great to use for pictures to avoid the "shiny"
 look.
