Beauty Secrets: Why Does Your Concealer Settle Into Fine Lines?

One of the main things people are looking for when they ask me for make-up help is concealer . Women are in search of a concealer that doesn't settle into all of their little fine lines. So I'm going to let you in on a little secret.... because there's nothing worse than having to look in the mirror every five minutes to fix your makeup!

Clients are often reluctant to try what I suggest due to the creamy texture. Creamy is good! Who wants dry looking under eyes?? The answer is not in the concealer, but in a wonderful little product called setting powder.

HOW TO SET YOUR CONCEALER :
First off, do not set your concealer in with your foundation powder that is not the same thing.
  • Dip a small powder brush into the finishing powder ( make sure you don't pick up too much product)
  • Lightly press the brush into your under eye in a tapping motion to ensure that it is thoroughly set
  • Take your brush and lightly wipe away any remaining powder

Using this beauty secret you will open the doors to buying any concealer you want!

Bronzer, Your Guide to Sunkissed Bliss

Bronzer is one of my favorite beauty tools. Unfortunately, it's also one that's seriously misused. To avoid looking hideously orange see below 


WHAT YOU NEED 
  • Fan Brush
  • Foundation
  • Bronzer
GET THIS LOOK
  • Assuming that your skin is already prepped with moisturizer start with applying your foundation. If you want to achieve a super natural look use a tinted moisturizer instead so it evens out the skin tone but still lets your natural beauty shine through.
  • A fan brush is a very versatile tool and a great addition to your brush collection. For this particular look you are going to be using the flat part of the brush not the edge/end of the brush. Work the bronzer on to your fan brush. Before application, test it out on your hand to make sure you didn't pick up too much product. It's better to not have enough on then to slap on too much and have orange streaks all over your face.
  • Keep the brush flat to the face. Lightly dust bronzer on to the forehead, bridge of the nose, apples of the cheeks and chin. 
Take your skin from looking dull to truly gorgeous bronzed and beautiful!
