Arianne April 12, 2017April 12, 2017Leave a Comment

They say oil in the skin is the key to preventing some effects of aging, but must it look so bad in photos?! Oily girls know a struggle that many others simply shrug at. Furthermore, if your forehead or T-Zone has ever left you feeling like its reciting Rihanna’s Diamonds, take heart. When it comes to the best foundations for oily skin you no longer need to be preoccupied with finding that one magic brand. There is a simple application trick that you can use so that you don’t “shine bright.”

Best Foundations For Oily Skin -Scratch That, Make ANY Foundation Work

There are a several words that can instantly send chills down the spine of an oily skin gal. Words such as liquid and cream foundation. However, cream foundations do not need to be feared by any high producing T-Zone. You can apply one in a way that will allow you to get the coverage you need WITHOUT all the additional oil.

The reason MUAs (makeup artists) love creams is because of their long-lasting durability. Many creams outlast more common liquids and powder versions. Therefore, here is the pro trick to applying cream foundation if you possess oily skin.

Instead of your fingers apply the cream foundation with a damp sponge.
Most foundations contain oil in order to give its coverage more durability.
The damp sponge will pick up the foundation’s pigment or tint, but not the foundation’s oil.
This means you will get awesome coverage without glistening brighter than the sun.

Makeup Counter- How to Survive the Germiest Cosmetics…and Customers

Arianne April 11, 2017April 11, 2017Leave a Comment

You don’t have to give the makeup counter at the mall the whole it’s not you, it’s me routine. The truth is out there, germs are all over the place. Yes, it’s gross to think about, but if you love your face you will take heed so that you can continue to enjoy your shopping experience.

Makeup Counter- How to Survive the Germiest Cosmetics…and Customers

Why are things so germy in the first place? Great question and it should be noted that makeup artists working at these establishments do clean. The issue begins with consumers. Not everyone uses the provided utensils to sample products and simply some are the type that do not cleanse their hands after using the restroom. All of this adds up to the spread of bacteria.

So then, what product should you definitely be watching out for? The beauty product most susceptible to contamination at the makeup counter is lip gloss. Whatever you do never apply a tester to your lips. Once a product has been utilized it is contaminated. How?

A product does not require direct contact with a person in order to be vulnerable to bacteria. That is why after a product has been used by one person, even if the following customers sample it with separate wands they could still possibly be exposed to bacteria. Ewwwww.

Makeup Counter- How to Survive

Now this article is not written to scare you away from purchasing or sampling products at the mall for the rest of your life. The fact is the makeup counter is very useful when it comes to testing. Various products can be quite expensive so its great to take them for a test drive so to speak before breaking out the credit card.

Moreover, let’s face it, makeup products are also not an one product fits all. What looked amazing on the model in the ad who seemed to resemble our skin tone, may not look so fantastic on us. Therefore, it is best to see a new product up close and personal.

To protect yourself from germs always use the tools provided for sanitation. The wands, swabs and sprays are not there for decoration, use them. Also, test products on your hands and forearms. Many counter professionals recommend placing product on your fingertips and holding them up to your face. Furthermore, consider shopping in the morning. When a store is first opened that is when everything is the most clean and has been sterilized for the next business day. Going early is a great way to beat crowds and that day’s next round of introduced germs.

Plane Travel Beauty Tip: How to Step Off Looking Gorgeous

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 10, 2017April 10, 2017Leave a Comment

Today is Travel Monday and normally we tell you about a fascinating travel destination that should be added to your bucket list. However, many of you fabulous jet-setters asked us for tips to look great even while you vacation. Well dolls, your wish is our command! Our first travel beauty tip is all about plane travel. We are going to tell you exactly what to do in order to step off a plane looking like the superstar you are!

Plane Travel Beauty Tip: How to Step Off Looking Gorgeous

Travel can be very hard on the body at times. You are moving through different time zones as well as adjusting to various altitudes. Moreover, do not even get us started about the stress that can occur from an unexpected layover or lost luggage.

While you can not control every last thing that could pop up while you plane travel to your selected destination; you can stay on top of your own personal travel beauty regimen. For instance, prep should actually begin the night before you leave. Apply a very intensive moisturizer to your face that is formulated to add tons of hydration to your skin.

Why is this necessary? Adding a nice amount of moisture to your face and skin will help protect it once exposed to the plane’s extremely dehydrating cabin pressure. Therefore, instead of your face being zapped of moisture that it desperately needs, the cabin elements will pull from your saved up hydration reservoir.

This will create a nice balance. As a result, when you step off the plane you will not look like a dry, desert wasteland. Moreever, your skin will retain moisture and its usual glow. Can you say, selfie ready?

Women Shaving Their Face – The Beauty Trend That Works!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 21, 2017March 21, 2017Leave a Comment

There is a growing trend of women shaving their face and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with hair removal. For years, we have seen men shave on a daily basis and as girls we probably never thought about doing it ourselves. However, now you may want to give this easy beauty technique a go. Face shaving has many benefits that will simply amaze you!

Women Shaving Their Face – The Beauty Trend That Works

Before we get into how to do it, let’s first talk about why you should. First of all, face shaving has the ability to improve your complexion. Say what?! This is because it can help to prevent clogged pores.

When it comes to skincare prevention is everything. If pores are kept from clogging up then you can skip developing unsightly acne (yay). Shaving is now looked as being a natural exfoliant. Therefore, like a facial scrub it can make your skin softer and keep breakouts at bay without any harmful or harsh ingredients. Can we get an amen?

Moreover, another benefit is the great base shaving can achieve when it comes to makeup application. Since your skin will be smoother from all the razoring, your foundation in turn will go on effortlessly. As you can see, with so many perks it is no wonder women shaving their face regularly is picking up speed!

Women Shaving Their Face – The Tool

If you want to add shaving to your beauty regimen you will need the right tool. Now before you make the mistake of running out to buy a whole bag of regular disposable Bic razors, just don’t. You will honestly be wasting your money.

The razors you use to shave your legs are not the ones you will be using on your face. Instead you will need to purchase a facial razor. Facial razors look more like flattened toothbrushes with small razors at the head instead of bristles. Trust us you will know them when you see them.

Women Shaving Their Face

Now that you know why and what to use, it is time to find out what’s the process. Ready to get started? Great! Here’s how to shave your face properly:

Wash your face with your favorite cleanser and then let your face dry completely.
Next, dab toner all over your face. Like after cleansing for best results allow your face to dry all the way after your application of toner.
Now the time has come ladies to shave! Take your facial razor and gently begin shaving your entire face. Be sure to shave the forehead, cheeks, sides and chin. When shaving use short, small strokes. Also, be sure to avoid shaving zits or moles. Simply work around such areas and continue shaving like normal.
Lastly, apply a face serum to your face and you are all finished.

Pretty simple right? In just a few steps you can be on your way to better looking skin. All with the help of a little blade.
