“The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.”
-George Sand

Beauty Quickie: Ever wake up in the morning and realize the little corner of product inside your tube of makeup was actually gone days ago? Running out of a beauty product can happen to the best of us but should not cause you anxiety. If you need to prime lids for eye makeup first apply moisturizer followed by foundation. These steps will help lock your makeup in place just like primer.

1966 Magazine Editor Alicia Suggs dishes on her new favorite beauty product and explains why it could just be your next beauty buy as well.
1966: Okay Alicia so tell us about this product that you are obsessed with now.
Alicia: Alright, it’s called Maybelline New York Master Glaze By FaceStudio and the shade that I am currently wearing in the picture is Make a Mauve. I love it because at times I have such a hard time finding a blush that will give me a more natural flush. I have a very yellow undertone to my skin so applying strong red or super pink blushes makes me look like Homie the Clown (laughs). Not a good look!
1966: What type of blush do you normally wear then?
Alicia: I usually just stick to a blush that is more peachy-orange. I find that such a shade is more universally pleasing on all skin tones so I stick to that family of tints. However, I love the look of rosy cheeks on women, to me it gives such a youthful, fresh look to the skin.
1966: Agreed. So then, why do you recommend Maybelline New York Master Glaze?
Alicia: If you have a strong undertone like me, you already know the struggle. This product seems to almost diffuse the yellow undertone giving me a nice warm complexion. Also, it lasts and stays on all day without having to reapply which helps save on product and money in the end.
1966: Thanks Alicia for taking the time the share and everyone go check out Maybelline New York Master Glaze by FaceStudio!
Beauty Quickie: Tweezing your brows does not have to be a painful experience, this beauty routine can be fixed in a pinch (all pun intended). Begin by softening your skin with a cotton ball that has been soaked with warm water or facial cream. Dab the cotton all over the tweeze area before you start to pluck.
It is a misconception that since black hair tends to be on the coarser side that it has a stronger resilience to breakage. The texture of our hair does not make it stronger, it still needs protection and the infusion of natural oils and hydration to remain healthy and durable. Using the right products will help you to grow your hair and keep it flourishing.
