Blush Is Back

A makeup artist’s secret weapon - blush. The easiest and cheapest way to look younger and have a more youthful glow is by using it. Blush is the one beauty product that looks great at any age and on any complexion. If you want to look like you’re blushing without the over made up look, why not try a cream or gel blush. It melts into the skin instead of resting on top like the powder form can. If you’re oily then a light powder on top will set it; if not than just the cream will do. If all you have is that old pink lipstick at the bottom of your makeup bag… use it! The darker the skin tone the deeper the pigment, you want to re-create the effect of blood flow to the cheeks beneath the skin. The correct cheek color should make you look as though you’re actually blushing- not wearing makeup. To get a natural makeup look you can start the application by smudging a well sharpened brown bronze eyeliner pencil around the top and bottom lash line then adding some jet black mascara. Pick a cream blush color that you can wear that doesn’t wear you. Proceed to blend, blend, blend. The Cheek color should be lightly dabbed on the apples of your cheek or in the hollows of the cheeks for a contoured effect. The apples of the cheeks will give you the young, fresh appearance that we all need. A light tinted moisturizing foundation or just concealer alone is fine and finally add that glossy lip gloss and you’re good to go. After a long hiatus… Blush is back!

How Food Makes Us Pretty

How many of us have heard from our mothers, “You are what you eat?” Well, it's true. The worse the food, the worse we feel, and the better the food, the better we feel…and look!


We have made a list of 6 top foods that make us prettier (and healthier), which is always a bonus!


Salmon: This fish contains essential fatty acids that help to moisturize our skin. Great to chow down on, especially when the seasons change. (We all get dry skin…don’t lie.) Don’t like fish? No problem. Some other comparables are walnuts and canola oil. And don’t get confused by equating oilier skin with good hydration. Every skin type benefits from this food.


Green Tea: Who would have thought? We drink it when we’re on a diet, but

411 on Healthy Skin

I love to put makeup on; it’s just about one of my favourite things to do…or better yet, look in the mirror when I have my makeup on. And I know, as someone who wears makeup, that it just always makes us look that much better. Eyes look brighter and more awake, cheeks look rosier, lips look poutier, and skin, well, let’s be honest—you can cover up any imperfections, but they’re never truly covered up, are they? That’s why having a skincare regimen is so important! If your skin looks good, then everything looks good. How many times have we tried to do a front-bang side sweep just to cover a pimple, or the tried-and-tested, all-of-a-sudden, out-of-nowhere beauty mark made with black liner on that pesky little bugger you popped 3 days ago! And let’s not forget how many people have asked, “Are you sick? You look tired,” on that day that you just happened to be in a rush and had no time to put on your heavy-duty concealer. And to top it all off, you’re not tired at all!

Here’s a foolproof list of what your skincare regimen should be on a daily basis, and I’m talking every day and every night!

Tips To Get Those Smokey Eyes

What is it about smokey eyes that makes you automatically feel 5 times sexier?  Why is it that more than 5 times the people have difficulty getting it right?  So what do we do?  Give up and go for a basic mascara look?  Heck no Ladies!  

Walk into wherever you’re going feeling like the sultry seductress that you are.  Many of us love this look but many of us do not like to fuss over something we are not sure we can pull off!  You can pull off this never outdated look in just a few easy steps without the whole “oops, I was going for hot mama, not woodland racoon!”

So bust out your blackest black and let’s get colouring!

First off, you will need a nice light highlighting eye shadow colour.  Depending on your skin tone, you may want to use a light shimmery white for lighter skin tones, ranging to a golden tone for deeper skin tones.  Use this highlighter colour all over your eyes as a base, from lashes to brow bone.

Next, take a black eyeliner (or any colour of your choice, smokey eyes do not always necessarily mean black) and line your eyes.  Don’t worry about getting a straight line, and you can go a little thick here if you’d like.  That’s one of the great things about this look, it doesn’t have to be so precise!
