Beauty Tip #9 How to Choose the Best Mascara

After years of working at the make up counter, I've noticed  one  of the questions that's asked most often is "what's your best mascara?".  To most people, this may seem like a logical and simple question. But to a professional make up artist, this is not a question that gets a quick "one size fits all" answer.

So how do you know what's the best mascara?  Here are 3 pointers to assist you.

Beauty Tip #8 Thoroughly Remove Make up Around the Hairline

It's very important to make sure that you remove all make up when cleansing your skin.  You also need to make sure you get the area around your hairline.  Why? Overtime, build up of make up, dirt, oil, and make up remover will occur and it will look as though you have flaky skin or dandruff.  Thoroughly cleanse and rinse before drying off to prevent this from happening. :-)

Beauty Tip #7 Use Essential Oils

Do you want a more natural alternative to your skin care and make up? Try incorporating Essential Oils.  My favorites are Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, and Grapeseed Oil.   I purchase these from the Vitamin Shop, but they are also available at Whole Foods Grocery Store and other natural/holistic stores.  

Here are my top 3 ways to use Essential Oils in your regular routine.

1. Make Up Remover.  Jojoba Oil is fantastic for removing make up.  Just a tiny bit goes a long way.  It works to get rid of the toughest eye make up without burning my eyes.  This would be similar to using M.A.C. Cleanse Off Oil, which actually contains some Jojoba oil.  

Beauty Tip #6 Cosmetic Counter Sanitation

Even though most workers try their best to keep the products as clean as possible, they can't watch customers 24/7.  It's important for you to take your own precautions when trying on products.  

Below are my Top 5 Cosmetic Counter Sanitation Tips.

1. NEVER pick up a product and apply it directly to your skin!!  You should always sanitize the products first.  Even if you use a disposable wand or sponge, the actual product should be cleaned first.  
2. Do not "double dip" in liquid products.  This would include but not limited to mascara and lipgloss.  Always use fresh disposables to apply these products.

Beauty Tip #5 Removing Eye Make Up

Do your eyes get irritated after removing your make up?

Maybe it's the way you remove it.  Instead of rubbing hard back and forth really fast to get the make up off, try holding down the pad, cotton ball, or wipe (whatever you use ha ha!) on your eye then wipe off.  This will allow the make up remover to actually dissolve the make up and it will take it off quicker.  Your eyes will not feel as sore afterwards. :-)

Beauty Tip #4 Use Eye Moisturizers

It's very important to take care of your eye area.  The area around our eyes tends to be a lot drier than the rest of our face.  This area also has less layers of skin.  For this reason, it's very beneficial for you to use an eye moisturizer 2x/day keep it healthy and to reduce the appearance of concerns such as dark circles, wrinkles, and puffiness.  There are also serums that are helpful in treating eye area concerns.

Beauty Tips Series

I will be starting a new series of Blog Posts specifically geared towards beauty tips for my readers. These posts will provide pointers on ways to enhance your make up applications.

I'm very open when it comes to make up.  I can respect other's creativity and appreciate them for going against what most may feel as the "norm".  I believe that  individuality is important and I respect the way people express themselves through their make up looks, therefore I will not say what's a right or wrong way.  I will give tips to provide options on how you can enhance your natural beauty and give ideas on executing looks. :-)
