Pointed Foundation Brush

Ladies, if you’re looking for a great foundation brush, I highly recommend the pointed Kabuki Foundation brush from adesign.  It not only feels fantastic and looks cute, but it also helps to apply your foundation evenly without streaks. 

 

Glow is in, Shine is not.

This Summer, it’s all about healthy glowing skin.  But, it’s really important to remember that although a “glow” is in, “shine” is not.  So if you begin to notice that your make.up is looking a bit shiny – try using blotting papers to help get rid of the shine, while keeping your makeup in place!

Tweezerman just came out with a cool new portable and convenient way to “blot” this Summer.  The blotting papers come in this really neat dispenser.  You simply pull out the the desired amount of paper, then close the lid and tear upwards. I love it!!  A Definte Must-Have! Yeah!

Ask SandyG – How to keep your eyeliner from smudging?

June 28, 08

Question:

Hi Sandy,
I was wondering if there is anything I could use to prevent my eye make up from smudging or smearing, especially when I apply it right in the lash line; it smudges right below my eyes making it look as if I have “raccoon eyes”. Is there a technique I could do, or a specific brand of eye liner you could recommend to prevent it from smearing? (Orlena)

Answer:

Dear Smudges,

There are a few ways you can prevent your eyeliner from smudging.  Here are two easy tips and techniques:

1. Use a HARD eyeliner pencil.  A soft eyeliner pencil is great to use when creating a smokey eye, because it’s great for smudging.  But, if you’re looking to keep your eyeliner in place, I would suggest using a hard eyeliner pencil.  My favourite eyeliner on the market is:  ANNABELLE Kohl Eyeliner.  Not only do these pencils stay on all day long – they also retail for under $5.00!!! amazing!

2. Layer.  Going over your eyeliner a few times, helps to keep it on longer. This is a great way to help keep your eyeliner in place!

I really hope this helped you out!  And, don’t forget to wake.up & make.up!
