This is how lips Go Bold!

Get Excited! Get Excited! I'm back with another informational blog "This is how lips Go Bold"  Follow these steps to go bold this season...

1. Use a lip brush to outline your lips with concealer. Yes, concealer. Another great use for Flori Roberts Corrective Concealer in a shade matching your skintone. This keeps lipstick from smudging, settling or feathering into lines around your mouth.

2. Apply lipstick in two layers. Set the first layer with a little loose powder before applying the second. Clean up the edges with the concealer brush.

3. Keep eye makeup minimal—the model is wearing Flori Roberts Signature Eyeshadow – Illusions.

READY FOR PRIME TIME?

DID YOU KNOW? that make-up artists used foundation primer for years before it was made available to the general public?

I'm back, Get Excited! Get Excited!Welcome to my informational beauty blog.  Let's talk beauty...

Why Use A Primer?

Foundation primer prepares the skin for the application of foundation. It fills in lines and wrinkles, even large pores, by smoothing out uneven skin texture. Makeup artists have been known to call it “spackle” because it works the same way. Flori Roberts Shine Away is specially formulated to reduce shininess, keeping your foundation looking freshly applied and lessening the need for touching up throughout the day. When priming your skin with Shine Away, you will use less of your make-up. Instead of having your foundation absorb directly into your skin, the primer acts as a base. So your foundation which adheres to your primer and does not soak into your skin.

Steps to Using a Foundation Primer
1. Moisturize your skin and let your daily moisturizer soak into your skin.

2. Apply a dime-sized amount of your foundation primer to clean fingertips.

3. Gently rub into the skin as you would your moisturizer, paying special attention to the T-Zone areas and fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Wait one to three minutes before applying your foundation.

Get Organized for Beauty 2012

Get Excited! Get Excited!  Happy 2012 let's talk beauty...Thanks for stopping by here's a few ways to organize your beauty products this year.

Keep Essentials At Hand

Cotton Swabs. The secret to truly top-notch makeup application is to blend, blend, blend. Blur edges of color with a cotton swab and you'll achieve that professional look each time.

Big Powder Brush. Get Makeup Artists results with an oversize brush, which is great for dusting on powder as a finishing touch to your look.

Slant-Tip Tweezers. Good tweezers are a must for maintaining a polished arch to your brows. Slanted tips make it easier to grab hairs at the root — just tweeze in the direction the hair is growing.

Keep It Fresh. Beauty products have a shelf life and chances are some of those items in your beauty drawer have long expired. Labeling guidelines give a quick and easy way to determine shelf life once a product has been opened. Look for the open bottle symbol. The number inside is the number of months an item can stay fresh once its been opened.

Evaluate your cosmetic bag in January, April, July and October, replace your mascara and wash your brushes with shampoo, following with conditioner (yes really- conditioner).

•Mascara This product expires the fastest: Throw out after 3 months.

•Concealer Up to 12 months

•Powder 2 years

•Cream & gel cleansers 1 year

•Pencil eye liner Should be sharpened regularly. Will last up to 3 years

•Foundation Water based 12 months, oil-based up to 18 months.

•Lip liner Up to 3 years.

•Lipstick If it smells like a candle, throw it out, it's spoiled. If you store lipstick in the refrigerator, it will last longer.

How to Prevent Chap Lips in Cold Weather

I’m back, Get Excited!  Welcome to my beauty informational blog on “How to Prevent Chap Lips in Cold Weather”.  Did you know that cold weather and wind is one of the most common causes of chapped lips? To prevent chap lips protect your lips with lip balm when you go out in cold weather, and make sure to use a lip balm with adequate SPF protection when you go out in the sun.  Also, did you know that ultraviolet rays can be present even on overcast days and can damage the delicate skin on lips?  Keep your selected moisturizer handy throughout the day to avoid allowing your lips to dry out.

When wearing lipstick, apply a protective lip balm underneath your lipstick. Reduce smoking as much as possible. Smoking dries out the skin, making your lips more likely to get chapped.  Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can be a cause of dry and damaged lips. Adequately hydrating your body prevents the desire to lick lips, helps to soothe existing lip skin conditions and serves as a preventative measure against future lip problems

Lip gels, balms or lipsticks that contain alcohol will usually make your chapped lips feel even dryer and more painful.  Apply moisturizer before bedtime. As helpful as daytime moisturizers are, lips can become dried out overnight if you sleep with your mouth open. Applying agents such as Shea butter, sunflower seed oil or castor seed oil can nourish your lips overnight and help you avoid waking up to cracked lips.  Lastly, use a humidifier in your home, especially at night. This is an effective way to keep your lips moisturized.

Punch Up Your Beauty This Holiday

Get Excited! Get Excited!! The holiday season is here..What can a woman do to punch up her look without taking it all off and starting over for an afterwork holiday event?Transitioning from work to evening is actually pretty easy if you prep yourself. Apply tinted moisturizer (or foundation), mascara and gloss or lipstick before work. After work, cover any blemishes by patting in a concealer (never rub).

Then follow these steps for either the smokey eye look or the deep red look:



For the Smokey Eye

1. Apply your eye makeup: Eyeliner on both top and bottom lashes (be sure to 'smudge it,' dark eyeliner will age you), a eye shadow primer, and a shimmery shadow on the lid. Don't apply any more mascara unless your earlier application has rubbed completely off, otherwise you risk getting clumpy lashes.
2. Dab a shimmery blush to cheeks.
3. Powder your face lightly.
4. Apply a light lipstick or gloss.

For Deep Red Lips
1. Cover unsightly veins on eyelids with a matte eyeshadow in a color that's as close as your skin tone as possible.
2. Apply a very light shimmery blush on cheeks.
3. Line lips and fill in with your favorite red color.
4. Powder face.


Which look will you wear to your holiday event? 
Smokey Eyes
Deep Red Lips
