What makeup?

Your favorite beauty shop is saturated with many types and brands of makeup.  It’s not only about “what makeup?”  “How you apply makeup” is just as important as the makeup itself.  Step one is finding the right foundation.  It can make the noticeable difference. Then you are ready to smooth your gloss, eyeliner and eye shadow for a more gorgeous overall look.  

There are many types and brands of foundations. At the beauty shop you have choices of liquid, cream, oil-free, powder, allergy tested, cake, stick, stay-on, hypoallergenic, cream to powder, non-comedogenic and camouflage foundations.

Liquid foundations usually offer sheer coverage and provide a natural look while cream foundations are usually available in compacts or sticks, and are easy to apply and provide very good coverage.  Its consistency makes for a creamy flawless finish.  There are dual cream to powder multi-functional foundations that provide the easy application of a powder with the excellent coverage of a foundation.

The best foundations, makeup, gloss, eyeliner and eyeshadow are available from top brands  L’Oreal, Clarins, Lancome, Clinique, Shiseido, Maybelline, Bobbi Brown, Max Factor, Mac, Laura Mercier, Nars, Estee Lauder, and many more.

What Skin Care? 

Choose skin care products and develop a treatment that is perfect for your skin.

Start with a non-soap, fragrance-free cleanser that is ultra-gentle on all types of skin.  Look for a low-lather brand that won't strip away your skin's natural oils and products containing pure ingredients that will guarantee no clogged pores or dry patches.

Follow with a skin face lotion with a combination of vitamins A, C, and E, plus gentle alpha-hydroxy acids, one that will make your skin glow.  Look for a variety with delicate-skin formula, and formula with SPF 15.

For a moisturizing lotion, go for gentle products that can be great for all parts of your body (including your face, if it’s a non-comedogenic brand). There are products that come in a cream formula, which suits drier skin.

For scaly patches, dry-skin bumps, and cracked areas, a product with potent alpha-hydroxy acid lotion does the remedy.  An AHA-based lotion gently exfoliates and moisturizes at the same time.  For more bothersome cases, there are prescription-strength varieties available through your dermatologist.

What works wonders to clear up adult acne, smooth fine lines, and even out skin tone? Try prescription medication and look for products with a more emollient version of Retin-A.

The trusted skincare products are available from Cetaphil, Neutrogena, Lac-Hydrin, Renova, Lancome, Estee Lauder, Philosophy, Organics, L’Oreal, Olay, and many others.

What Fragrance?

Fragrance should be one of the most personal, subtle and most appealing messages you send to those with whom you come in contact. Now, no one should sniff your fragrance unless he or she steps inside your so-called personal "scent circle," about an arm's length from the body. 

The wearer's diet can affect the way a fragrance smells and lingers on the skin. Fragrances will be more intense if the wearer is on a high fat, spicy diet.  An altered skin chemistry can cause fragrances to smell differently.

Skin type also affects the degree of scent. A scent is more intense when the fragrance oils come in in contact with oilier skin.  Dry skin requires the wearer to re-apply the fragrance more often because it does not retain fragrance as long as oily skin.

Choose the finest perfumes and fragrances from Dior, Chanel, Ana Sui, Versace, Gucci, Givenchy, Nina Ricci, Armani, Aramis, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Elizabeth Arden, and many more.
