Best Thing for Your Skin Ever

Tuesday, August 19, 2008
The best thing you can ever do for your skin is wear sunscreen. Wear it every single day. Don't skip a day ever! It's not just for when you are hanging out at the pool or at the beach. Many people get sun damage even when they are doing normal activities like driving to work. Check your face and see if you have more sun damage on the left side of your face than the right. Many people do especially if they spend a lot of time in their car.

Get a good medical grade sunscreen and wear it every day. Even better would be to get a daily moisturizer that has a sunscreen built into it. Unfortunately for many of us, the sun damage is already done, but you can certainly prevent it from getting any worse, which it definitely will if you don't start taking care of it now.

Good news for younger girls -- if you start now, you'll be much more beautiful at 40 than most other women who are currently that age!

Smokey Eyes Makeup Tip

Friday, August 15, 2008
I found a great video that demonstrates how to create a smokey eyes effect using three makeup brushes and three eyeshadow colors. Listen carefully to which brush he is using at each step. The "window wiper" application is very effective!

Three brushes: smudge brush, blender brush, flat shadow brush
Three eye shadow colors: Dark, light, and medium tone (use black for the dark)
You will also need an eyeliner pencil.

The only thing I don't recommend is the way the makeup artist is pulling and stretching the model's face to apply the makeup. That kind of treatment to her skin will end up causing more wrinkles in the long run. It's not necessary to do in order to get this effect. Be gentle on your skin, especially around your eyes. Skin is made to stretch, but be reasonable if you want to preserve what youth you have left!
