TRUE Story

I remember walking into a new job this past spring and wanted to throw a scream into the air as one of my new co-workers walked
by me with just the prettiest smile and the worst case of winter lipstick I had ever seen. A few weeks later, I finally gained the confidence to gently tell her that she needed to change that lip stick and FAST! Of course this lead to a huge makeup makeover for the entire staff!

In getting your summer to fall beauty routine ready..... here are my tips:

1. HAVE a makeup party exchange with your girlfriends this fall. Often you will find that they have unopened products of makeup they have gotten as gifts for birthdays and so forth that they dont like or use! this will save you some money, and in return have a fun night out with the girls!

2. Check your bright pink at the door and rethink your lip colors. Trends for fall tend to be going with darker pinks and deep purples, frosty browns, and clear glosses.

3. Think about revamping your foundation. With the tan fading and winter looming, you may need to visit your local beauty counter and try new foundation colors.

4. Think about trying the all new tinted moisturizers this fall. Its a light weight  moisturizing foundation that still contains a SPF in most brands. Great for dry winter skin.

5. One of my personal favorites, Facial Wipes. you can buy them in all brands. Loaded with moisture Cleanser Wipes can remove make-up and grime very conveniently and quickly and it is specifically made for all skin types. Some of them are even loaded with skin craving nutrients!

6.  Nothing says beauty better than beautiful white TEETH! Buy some teeth white strips for that beauty bag and use them as needed! You will be shining in no time and your friends will wonder how your teeth got so white!

7. A Moisture mask once a week is essential in the winter. Moisture masks can help soothe dry and irritated skin and bring you back to life and keep your skin in tip top shape this winter.

8. A little Sally goes a long way. Salley Hansen spray on legs found at any drugstore can double duty as a quick spray on tan for parties and events this winter. With instant gratification, you can just spray it on for instant color. yea, its says "legs" on the can but it works GREAT on all skin parts and washes off in the shower after your event. GREAT idea to cover white winter skin and give you a all over glow! GREAT UNDER makeup as well!

9. USE bronzer, but use it sparingly. Often times we use bronzer double duty for blush, and more. Try using a lighter bronzer on the bridge of your nose around your temples and a light amount under your new pink blush to shade in under those cheek bones.

10. think PINK... or shades of. Stop using bronzers as blush! The orange in Bronzers make you look older and will especially look strange on winter white skin! Start experimenting with lighter and darker shades of pinks. Pinks can be sheer and can make your skin look youthful and fresh even in the winter months at any age!
