"Makeup Makes Me Smile." 

It makes me smile because it tells you so much about the woman wearing it.  With just a stroke of a brush, a smear of foundation, a swipe of eye shadow and a dab of lipstick; a woman is transformed into the BEST FORM of who SHE ALREADY IS. The beauty of makeup is that it's, simple. For the everyday woman it can become overwhelming with all the products to choose from on the market.  But don't get caught up in the latest make up trends or the 'hottest' color this month -  focus more on the woman you want looking back at you in the mirror and your choices will be much simpler. We all have certain color families that look best on us; stick with it.  We all know what our best features are;  focus on highlighting those areas.  Make Up can be simple and easy.  Here are a few tips to using makeup to mirror the women on the outside reflect the woman within. 

FOUNDATION

The biggest struggle with foundation is matching it!  

 TIP: when picking out your shade, place a small dot of it on your jaw and try to match it to your neck and chest. If you neck is lighter than your face, match it to the darkest part of your body.  

MY FAVORITE TRICKS 

And an essential item in my own makeup bag is a multifunctional product. Like a blush that can also be used as an eyeshadow.  Or a lipstick that can also be used as blush.  This is a great way to minimize the items in your makeup bag and to make the makeup application process for on-the-go women SIMPLER, EASIER and LESS INTIMIDATING.

ONE TIP I'm always SHARING...

For those women who want to add a 'little something extra' to their makeup and think black eyeliner is too much. 
Try a brown eyeliner, it still gives adds something extra but gives a much softer look.  For and even softer look, try using a brown eye shadow as liner.

MY BEST ADVICE...

Have fun with it! Makeup is like fashion and style. Try different things and see what works for you.  Don't take it too serious!  There is No Single right way to wear make up.  We all have different features, faces, skin tones, textures and personalities - all of which create that individual look that makes You Distinctively Beautiful!
