SUMMER TIME!!!

At the risk of repeating myself,

 
I would be a really horrible make up artist if I didn't mention SUMMER TIME MAKE UP.   Who wants to look "overdone" for summer?  No. No. No.  If you are taking care of your skin from the inside out (ie. Lots of water, good sleep, physical activity, eating well, vitamins, stress-management), your skin will show it.  All you need is a 3 in one tinted moisturizer (hint of color, moisturizer and SPF) a great creamy concealer for spot checks (light touch, Gorgeous...light touch) and a good mineral powder for a flawless summer complex.  I am also LOVING 3 in 1 eye cheek and lip stains (check out stila products...so so good) and a great creamy clear or light lip gloss.  2 coats of waterproof mascara, a little brow grooming and you are out the door in 5 mins and ready for a hot summer day!!!  Have a happy Thursday!  With Love - Cher <3

Summer Time Musts!

Summer time musts: Who wants to walk around in heavy make up during warmer weather that will melt off and leave you a greasy mess (Placing index finger on tip of nose, screaming "not it").   I am always on the look out for natural products that accomplish more than purpose.  So, here are my favorite 3 "must haves" for summertime easy 2 minute polished look for beach, pool side, hiking, biking or outdoor concert weather:
1. A 3 in one tinted moisturizer containing spf and light coverage. Instead of your regular concealer, try your regular liquid make up for concealing if necessary.  Set T-Zone w a "little" powder
2. Mascara - preferably waterproof and hypoallergenic. I am loving lancome right now.
3. A peacy pink lip and cheek stain that can also be used for a little pop of eye color. My perfect pick is any by Stila.
* Keep it light and polished. If you have few extra secs, curl those lashes, lightly powder t-zone and add a pop of gloss on that lower lip.  
* Tip - a small carrying sprinter of a mixture of lavender water and green tea is a fantastic refreshing spray to lightly sprint with during warmer weather Happy Summer! With Love - Cher
