Wrinkles

Sooooooooo many women ask me how to cover wrinkles. It is the one question I get asked probably more than any other and the answer to that is, you can't.  Sorry ladies but there is no way to cover them.  That is the cold hard reality.  If you apply too much makeup to try to cover them that doesn't work because the makeup sits deeper in the lines and they appear deeper.  My advice would be wear less foundation.  Lighter coverage, like liquid as apposed to powder. Also, try using foundation which diffuses the light.  They actually make foundation and highlighters that have little sparkles in them to bounce the light off the face.  They're great.  If you're still not convinced, try using a  primer before applying your foundation.  Philosophy makes a great one called "The Present"  which actually has silicone in it so it lays on the skin to create a barrier and smoothes the skin out.  Ultimately, one needs to embrace their  own beauty, wrinkles and all!

Accentuate the Positive

So, let's talk in simple terms here.  We all want to look our best but many of us, if not most of us, don't know how to get there.  We open up our daunting cosmetic drawer or bag and wonder, "what is all of this for?".

Here's the deal.  You don't need all of those products to look your best.  Let me say it again.  You don't need all of those products to look good.   I'm speaking the plain truth here.  Companies make all of those products  to persuade you into believing  that you do.  Here's what you do.....look at yourself objectively in the mirror.  Really notice what is your best feature or features.  We all have at least one.  Let's take eyes for examples.  If eyes are your best feature than purchase fabulous colors or liners to play them up. You can conceal(more on that in the future) under your eyes, apply a little lip gloss and there you go.  Perfection.  You are playing up the positive. The same goes for lips or nose or cheeks.  Putting focus on what works is fundamental in creating a successful makeup and anyone can do it!
