ALLURE MAGAZINE: MAKE UP SUMMER TIPS

SUE DEWITT AND GAIL SAGEL MAKE-UP SUMMER CLEAN UP TIPS

I welcome the onset of spring. I love spring cleaning and getting my makeup and clothes organized for warmer weather. In this month’s ALLURE Magazine, April 2011 Issue, page 100, they gathered advice from Makeup Expert, Sue Devitt, founder of Sue Devitt Beauty; her clients include Uma Thurman and Jennifer Connelly.

http://www.facesbeautiful.com/category_s/95.htm

Sue’s advice was to:

·         Store Makeup away from humidity and heat, which both degrade products.  *Wipe down lipstick cases and compacts with a wet wipe, and wash brushes weekly in warm soapy water.

·         Organize makeup by type and color and day and evening in clear plastic trays.

·         Color code lipsticks by marking a sample on a small white sticker and put it on the top of the tube.

·         Replace mascara and foundation every three months, and lipstick and gloss after a year.

I agree with Sue on all of her points, but I take even a step or two further.

·         Separate your spring makeup and colors from your winter products. Put your winter products away.

·         Place your lip glosses in a cup, color side up so you can easily choose the color to best coordinate with your outfit and your makeup look.

·         Stand your makeup brushes up in a toothbrush holder or a cup that allows each brush to not touch the others.

·         Wash your brushes, with a mild soap, once every other week. Reshape the brushes and lie them down to dry.

·         Clean the gunk around the rims of your lip glosses and lipsticks. Take a tissue and wipe off.

Let me know how this works out for you!

The 2011 Genius Awards - Elle Magazine

I love the “Genius Awards”. The April issue of Elle Magazine www.elle.com, page 258, featured what they thought were the three hottest products.

They were Renergie Eye by Lancôme for lightening up dark circles under eyes, SK-II Cellumination Mask-In Lotion for the best facial mask and one of the products we carry, Dr. Dennis Gross, M.D. – Alpha Beta Glow Pad.

The Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Pad was voted the best for giving you “sunshine in a wipe”. This is an anti-aging exfoliating self-tanner which delivers active Vitamin D to replace intake blocked by daily SPF use.  This awesome pad gives you glowing, bronzed skin, while treating your skin care concerns.

By the way, my favorite product for getting rid of under eye darkness is the Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye $100. And, my personal fav mask is June Jacobs Pumpkin Enzyme Mask $78. Both a must have to maintain beauty and youth. Let me know how this works for you!

The Perfect Red Lip: Tip from NylonMag and Gail Sagel

In NYLON Magazine www.nylonmag.com, March 2011 issue, featured “ICON: Wonder Woman – The Perfect Red Lip”. They recommended two products for creating the Wonder Woman Perfect red lip using M.A.C. Lipstick – Russian Red and the new Napoleon Perdis Lip Pencil – Rococo Red. This lip liner, which we have plenty in stock is very soft, gives a smooth look and glides on gently with no feathering.  This lasting liner is free of mineral oil and preservatives and has natural antioxidants for added protection.

For you girls who love red lips, but feel that a lipstick is to heavy, you must try Vincent Longo’s Perfect Shine Lip Gloss in color Rede.

http://www.facesbeautiful.com/product_p/vl-perfectshinelip.htm

A little trick: Girls who wear red should use a primer powder before applying lipstick, gloss or liner. I recommend Sue Devitt Microquatic Bermuda Triangle Eye, Lip & Cheek Primer.

http://www.facesbeautiful.com/product_p/805371883470.htm

It really makes your lipstick last longer and no feathering!! Love it for lips and you must try it for having no crease eye shadow too. Let me know if this helps you!!

Got to Have Beach Hair: Tip from US Weekly and Gail Sagel

US girls always want to know how to get that sexy, beach hair even when we’re not at the beach. US Weekly covered, “For Best Beachy Texture” in issue 837, www.usmagazine.com.  US Weekly suggested two hair products to get that beachy-look. Bumble and Bumble Hair Texture (Un) Dressing $26 and Redken Nature’s Rescue – Radiant Sea Spray $17, which we carry.

Here’s how you can use the Redken Nature’s Rescue – Radiant Sea Spray. Spritz it throughout your wet hair to add body, blow dry your hair on a medium setting, scrunching and tousling your hair as you go. Then use a brush to smooth just your roots, leaving the freshly tousled hair texturized. This is one of my favorites for creating tousled, sexy hair. I also like to use it with a curling iron to create that hot, messy look. Fekkai also makes a product that does this look too. It’s the Fekkai Marine Summer Hair. Aka Beach Waves $23. Let me know how this works for you!
