“Beauty Trend of the Week Matte Foundation”

This week’s beauty trend is matte foundation. This spring is all about matte foundation, no shiny t-zone or foreheads. It’s all about natural matte complexions. Glowing dewy skin is more for summer months. For the prefect natural matte finish you can use matte foundation and matte powder. I’m in love with Make Up For Ever for a natural matte look. If you have combination or oily skin you can use a oil absorbing moisturizer before putting on your primer. A primer is key to a beautiful matte complexion. Make sure you pay close attention to your t-zone. When applying your powder be sure to use a brush, this will provide a flawless cake free complexion that is natural. You can re touch throughout the day with blotting sheets, and translucent powder if you need too.

Skin Care Tips

One of the best physical assets a person can have is his or her skin. When the skin is gorgeously healthy and well taken care of, it becomes a plus factor to a person’s qualities that boosts an individual’s self-esteem and self-confidence, thus adding to a more positive and happy outlook.  Not only does the skin play an important role in one’s health, safeguarding the body from environmentally damaging factors, but it also improves ones mind-set with the things around them.  After all, feeling beautiful and healthy creates a positive aura, rather than feeling unattractive and unhealthy that brings about a lot of negative sentiments towards the rest of the world.

Properly caring for the skin makes it possible for one to have a beautiful and healthy skin; here are ten simple skin care tips:

Skin care tips # 1 Protect the skin from the sun through using sunscreen, and avoid being under direct sunlight during the hours 10am to 2pm.

Skin Care tips #2 Don’t smoke!  The skin needs a lot of circulation and smoking severely impairs that need.

Skin Care tips #3 Always get enough nourishment and rest.

Skin Care tip #4 Guard the body from both environmental and emotional stress.

Skin Care tip #5  Make washing of the face twice a day a habit, especially in the morning when a lot of dead skin cells, dust, and dirt collect. Use proper treatment products for the skin.

Skin care tip #6  Never ignore other parts of the skin such as the neck, elbows, heels, and décolletage that need to be moisturized, as well as the scalp.  The top of the feet require sun protection.

Skin Care tips #7 Avoid touching the face too much and wash the hands more.  Traumatizing the skin through poking, picking, squeezing, and scratching have a greater risk for scarring, avoid the temptation.

Skin Care tips #8 Maintain clean make up.

Skin Care tips #9 Practice moderation in all skin care products use; remember too much of everything becomes unhealthy.

Skin Care tips #10 Keep the regimen simple and be careful of counter girls who would want to spend hours putting layers of make up on your face.

Skin care is always about taking the time to do it and the willingness to do it.  Never underestimate the power of simple skin care such as washing the face at regular times a day. The skin is a simple yet important part of the body, take careful mind of it.

Maintaining a nice appearance is easier when you have the right supplies. There are tons of beauty care products on the market and these items can really come in handy if you know which items to use. The typical beauty products can be divided into three major categories: hair, nails and skin.

You can maintain a great looking exterior by taking time to develop a solid, healthy diet and exercise routine. These two natural approaches provide overall good health and this significantly affects our appearance. These are two of the most valuable beauty care products that cost next to nothing.

No matter how healthy we are we still need a boost here and there for our hair, nails and skin. Beauty care products designed for our locks come in many forms and you can choose your items according to your specific needs. Shampoos now have a number of different affects on our hair and styling products can do just about anything for us.

Hair that is unmanageable can benefit from a de-frizzing line of supplies. These beauty care products help you keep the frizz under control. Some hair supplies help us work in the opposite direction providing volume and body to the hair. There are items developed for all different needs and all different hair types.

Your nails also need some attention as well. A healthy diet can help you grow your nails and keep them strong. Vitamin supplement can help as well. However, we sometimes need some extra strength especially if we use our digits all day long.

You can opt for beauty care products designed specifically to beautify and strengthen natural nails or you can have your nails professionally designed by a manicurist. Acrylic nails are really popular and can be applied in about an hour or so.

When we think of beauty care products for the skin we typically picture cold cream and anti-aging formulas. There are countless items that promote healthy, youthful skin and these may be some of the most important beauty care products on the market. These items also include makeup as well.

It is important to remember that we are covered in skin from our head to our toes. In order to make sure that we maintain this organ we want to address all of it. Make sure that you take time to add a little lotion and massage to your routine. These are beauty care products that often go unnoticed but can do wonders for your appearance.

“Women of Color Makeup Tips”

Most often women of color meaning anyone with a tan-to dark complexions end up getting bad advice in the makeup department. Being a women of color and shopping for great makeup products can be a very hard and long process but follow these tips to get a flawless complexion.

Titiaum Dioxide

The number 1 problem with finding a good shade that matches your complexion is because of Titanium dioxide. Titanium is a great source of getting SPF in your makeup or face creams, but it can make women of color appear to have an ashy tone to their complexion. Many makeup companies put Titanium dioxide in their makeup lines which makes makeup when applied to the face appear ashy and dry in color. The best way to advoid this problem is to look for makeup lines that don’t contain Titanium dioxide. Also make sure that before applying your makeup that you are not using moisturizers that contain Titanium dioxide because this too can make your skin appear ashy. (if the product says may contain purchase these over the ones that use it as a main ingredient)

Finding the right Foundation for your complexion

Most women of color including Indian, Hispanics and African Americans have a yellow based tone to their skin. So always choose a foundation that has a yellow hue, not every women of color is like that so make sure you choose what is best for your complexion. Many makeup lines are realizing that women either have red or yellow hues. After washing your face wait 10-15 minutes before applying any toners or moisturizers. Then look in the mirror and you should see either red or yellow tones to your complexion. Which ever color stands out more is the foundation hue you should choose. Make sure there is no Titanium dioxide. Many makeup lines now have colors for women of color but be aware some of them maybe have Titanium dioxide. I hate to say this but Iman Titanium dioxide uses in her products. This includes product such as blushes and powders as well.

A Good Foundation for Women of Color

Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation No. 90 - Chocolate
Great Blushes for Women of Color

The best blushes for women of color are ones that go with the complexion and look natural. Less is more when it comes to applying blush. Choose colors that are in the brown, bronze, tan, or red family depending on your tone. Use your best judgment. For more on finding the right blush for your skin click here.

NARS Blush Madly

Finding the Right Powder For Women of Color

Many African Americans naturally have more oil in their skin. Which is why the age slower than lighter skin. Most often the darker your skin the more oil is being produced. Which just means you’ll receive wrinkles much later than most women. In the mean time to achieve a Matt shine free complexion choose powders that are one shade than you would normally choose. Oil has a tendency to make your complexion look darker than it actually is. So if your oil production is high choose a color one shade lighter than your complexion.

Good powders for African Americans or Women of Color
