Mascara Guards

APPLYING MASCARAwithout the smudges. 
Keep your mascara on your lashes, not on your skin.

If you have trouble applying mascara eg smudging or clumping, there are a couple  of products on the market that can help. Lash Card is one of these products and is available online.

Great for those of you who, for example, have really long eyelashes, false eyelashes 'hooded' eyes and for some Asian eye shapes.
Many makeup artists have been using what's known as the 'business card trick' for years whereby they cut curves into a business card to use as a shield on the skin, behind the lashes when applying mascara on clients.

Lipstick Tips

LIPSTICK TIPS- FINDING YOUR PERFECT LIPSTICK COLOUR
 
If you have trouble finding the perfect colour lipstick or gloss this article is for you. Most of us keep buying lipstick colours in an attempt to find that one colour that looks perfect on us.
 
TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
We often buy lipsticks that fail to please because we like the colour on the little circle colour swatch on the product or perhaps it looks stunning on the model used in the advertising campaign. Neither of these are good indicators that the colour is going to suit us.

Botáni Olive Skin Serum Review

I recently had the opportunity to trial Botáni's 'Olive Skin Serum'. As a makeup artist I'm always interested in trying new products but as a woman with sensitive, dehydrated skin and an uneven skin tone ... I'm very interested in new products that might just make a difference. Just to make it clear... this is not an advertisement, no one has offered to pay me for doing this product review. I simply love highlighting great products.

I've now been using the Olive Skin Serum every morning after cleansing my face for two weeks and I'm happy to give this serum the big 'thumbs up'.

Dark Circles Under Your Eyes

Cause, Treatment, Conceal

What ages you most? Surprisingly, it might not be wrinkles or grey hair, but dark circles under your eyes. Dark circles under eyes usually aren't a sign of exhaustion or serious illness, though they can make you feel old, unhealthy and tired. Dark circles under eyes affect both men and women, often starting in adulthood, although children can develop dark circles under eyes, too.

If you get plenty of sleep and still have dark circles under your eyes, that's not unusual.

Make The Switch

As we say sayonara to the season of sweat, it’s time to put aside oil-fighting cleansers, toners, moisturizers and treatments (like masks and peels) in favor of hydration-boosting products. “The biggest battle in winter versus summer is skin getting dried out and losing its luster, so you want to think about switching products,” advises New York dermatologist David Bank, MD. “Just like you don’t wear the same clothing in August and February, you don’t want to use same products.
