I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately from Makeup Artists asking me which brand of moisturizer I use in my makeup kit?    So I thought I would write a quick post to let you all know!  

The moisturizer I use is the Ultra Facial Moisturizer from Kiehl’s.  It’s light weight, yet effective and works great under make.up.  I love it!

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer is:

• Light, yet effective lotion
• Softens and conditions
• Frequently used for combination skin
• Formulated with Squalane, Vitamins A and E
• Not tested on animals

Homemade Headbands!

June 8, 09

This weekend I learned from one of my students - Sara - how to make a headband from home in minutes!  Here’s how:

Step One:

Take an old t-shirt 

Step Two:

Cut off the sleves

Step Three:

And voila!  Use the sleeve as a headband!  It’s easy, takes seconds to do and is super fun!

**Try doing this with a bunch of different t-shirt styles (ones with lace, different colours etc.) and just think of all the cool new headbands you could have!

You can use these headbands while lounging around the house, putting on your makeup and/or for washing your face!  I love it!  Yiiipppee!

Am I Warm or Cool?

June 3, 09

Am I Warm or Cool?  One of the biggest questions I get asked all the time! So here are some easy ways to find out:

You are a Cool if:

• Your skin has cool undertones like blue and/or pink.
• You look the best in a foundation with a pink base.
• You are also known as a “Summer or Winter” 
• In the sun you have a tendency to burn easily

You are a Warm if:

• Your skin has warm undertones like yellow, orange and/or olive.
• You look best in a foundation with a yellow base.
• You are also known as an “Autumn or a Spring”
• You look great in ‘earth tones’
• In the sun you tan easily

Below is a chart I found on the internet showcasing some examples of both Cool (to the left) and Warm tones (to the right).

        

Still not sure?

You may have a mixture of both warm and cool undertones - so I would suggest to opt for a foundation with a yellow base.

Hope this helps!
