Take a Chance!

I hope you do at least one thing today that is out of your comfort zone. I hope you take a chance. Chase a dream by taking the first step. It could turn out bad...but at least you won't spend your life wondering "what if?".  HAPPY EASTER !!!  - With Love - Cher <3

Brows, brows, brows!!!

Did you know your eyebrow shape (or lack thereof) can serve to either age you, or take 10 yrs off of your appearance? Home upkeep with tweezer is a great way to save a few $$$ IF you have already had them professionally shaped, and are just cleaning up strays. HOWEVER, if you have not: step away from the tweezers and get yourself an appointment with an EXPERIENCED wax specialist.   Over tweezed brows can age your face significantly, as can crazy, wooly mammoth, unkept brows. That said, I am LOVING a well maincured full brow right now! A well manicured brow gives you an over all awake, lifted and youthful appearance. *Tip: Brow gels, powders or pencils can help out a lot for those with sparse brows. Use short, thin stroke to mimic real hair growth and take a step back to assess over all shape every few seconds.  With Love - Cher

Take it off, Baby!!!

     Why remove your make up at night? Some make up companies out there claim you can actually sleep in their make up. In the words if my Grandmother, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should". Anything that sits on the surface of the skin for a prolonged period of tine is going to clog your pores. Make up mixed with oil from skin that is wiped off onto pillow case is also a recipe for break out bacteria. Clogged pores = black heads, break outs, dry skin (need I go on?). Not to mention mascara left on overnight becomes extremely brittle, and can take your lashes with it when it breaks. -Let me put this another way- It takes TWO WEEKS of consistent morning and night cleansing, toning & moisturizing to undo the aging damage done in ONE NIGHT of wearing make up to bed.  Take it off, Baby!!

5 Min Make-Up

"In a hurry" no make up look tip (5 mins or less :-): Look for products that "multi-task" (ie cream blushes can be used for color on lips, eyes & cheeks). Tinted moisturizer w SPF is a quick way to get minumal coverage. Tap a bit of liquid concealer in the same shade as tinted moisturizer with ring finger under eyes (halfway..don't go past your iris) & around your nose to cover redness if needed. Blot T-zone w rice paper instead of powder. Tight line upper eye lid with a black liner, curl lashes & use two coats of mascara. Use clear gel brow taming spoolie to quickly tame brows. Tap a little cream blush in a peachy pink on lips, eyes, and apples of cheeks for color. Top with gloss and go!  With Love - Cher
