Budge-Proof Your Make-up - Look Fresh this Summer

Make -up Tips for Looking Fresh During Hot Weather


 Here are a few tips on how to make your make-up last and to look flawless and  fresh-faced in hot weather.



  • A mattifying primer with oil control ingredients smooths skin, fills in pores, makes make up last longer and  reduces oiliness.
My Go To Primer  which I use  in my make-up kit  is Too Faced Primed Poreless Primer It  is great for use on  photo-shoots  with hot lighting and in hot weather so that your make up stays budge-proof.


  • To budge - proof your make-up -Apply oil free foundation.Oil free foundation  is best  for oil prone skin.
  •  For perfect summer ready make-up-Use less foundation during warmer months.
  • A concealer is great for  targeting problem areas.

  • Use powder to set your foundation and to stop your make up from looking too shiny.




  • Wear water-proof make up to prevent make up from wearing off .
  • Seal your make-up-A water-proof  finishing spray makes summer  make up stay longer. 
  • Use  blotting sheets to soak up oil and budge-proof your make-up  -Blotting sheets are extremely useful because they take away oil without disturbing your  make up.





Top Tip

- To budge-proof your  make-up, the most important  things after good skincare are  the start and the finish.

Make sure you start with a good mattifying make up  primer so that your foundation  lasts longer.
My motto is ' Prime every time'.

Finish with a good  make -up setting spray ,this  keeps your make up in place.

Wedding Dresses from TBDress!

You need to start a healthy daily and weekly skincare regime from now.
Taking care of your skin internally and externally is vital for good skin health.


  •  Keep hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses of water in order to flush out toxins and reveal

radiant , healthy looking skin.


  •  To strengthen skin cells and for that luminous, rosy ,glow ; Sip on Green Tea.



  •  Have a diet rich in fruit ,nuts, seeds,vegetables,oily fish,lean meat and poultry.



  •  Exercise regularly,to improve skin circulation and to boost levels of stress busting

endorphins. This will make you look and feel better on your big day.


  • Cleanse ,tone ,moisturize and protect your skin daily.



  • Cleanse your skin twice daily to get rid of make-up , environmental debris and skin

impurities.










  •  A good toner protects your skin from  ageing and prevents acne.Use one that is enriched with

vitamins and minerals so that your skin looks refined and to speed up skin cell renewal.







  • Everyone needs to moisturize (Regardless of your skin type or condition).

Moisturizing makes a huge difference to your skin's health and appearance. Even people with oily
skin need to moisturize. We all need to use an appropriate moisturizer for our skin type , this helps
in preventing acne, slows down skin aging an helps to prevent dehydration of the skin (which causes premature aging ).





  •  It is vital to protect your skin from UVA

and UVB rays in order to prevent the
signs of premature ageing of your skin.
Limit your exposure to sunbeds and sun
tanning and use sun protectors.


  •  If you are a smoker, its time to stop or cut down on the amount of cigarettes that you

smoke.
Cigarette smoking reduces vitamin C and other vital nutrients of the skin. It causes your complexion
to look dull and to age quicker.


  •  Exfoliate your skin no more than twice a week. Gently massage in your exfoliant Use

circular motions.This will slough off dead skin cells and reveal brighter ,more radiant looking
skin.

 Dermalogica have a great range of facial
exfoliants that and are suitable for all skin
types( except for users of exfoliants which are
medically prescribed).


The Skin Prep Scrub works a dream on oil prone
skin and makes skin look and feel rejuvenated.


TOP TIP:
For optimum results ,use your  facial exfoliant  before a mask.



  • Use a face mask after you exfoliate to make your skin firmer and for a more even looking skin tone.



TOP TIP :
Mix your face mask with toner or rose water instead of plain water and you will see
amazing results!



SIX MONTH COUNTDOWN


  •  Start salon facials now if you haven’t already started.

Salon facials dramatically improve your skin's health and appearance as well as your mental well being.
Your skin will glow more because of increased skin cell circulation. It is anti-aging ,beautifying
and you will look and feel better .Facial massage is stress reducing and helps your mental health.
During a massage ,your brain releases a bonding chemical known as Oxycontin. This bliss hormone
makes you forget about yourself and feel extremely relaxed A  professional salon facial is stress reducing and is
therefore good for the skin .Stress usually shows up on skin as conditions like eczema, acne and
psoriasis.


  • Continue to pay attention to your diet, fitness, water intake ,weekly and daily skincare

routine.



TWO WEEK COUNTDOWN


  •  It is best to have no more facials near to the big day. Have your last facial now as spots can

occur because of the skin removing impurities.

allergic reactions on or near to the day.

Love Your Brows Even More 


Let's face it, our brows are arguably the most instantly recognizable facial feature.
Our brows help us to communicate and express emotion-
We flirt,show anger or frustration just by using our eyebrows.
In some cultures, eyebrows  signify social status.
In most films and animation, brows differentiate the villain from the hero or heroine.


"Bad brows are like a bad handshake but worst because they're on your face ."
Beth Norton 
Blogger

In the real world, brows play a role in how we perceive others:
Too far apart brows  the person  surprised.
A uni brow can reflect anger.
Too high arches gives a look of perpetual surprise.
Well shaped,tailored brows are attractive, our eyes appear brighter and lifted,our face looks younger and cheeks more lifted.





In my opinion, brow shaping is almost like cosmetic surgery!


BH Cosmetics Winter Makeup

Here are five tips that can improve the health and appearance of your brows.


Pamper them with extra special treatment.



  • For glossier,shinier eyebrows,massage brow growth enhancer such as castor oil into the brows.If experiencing hair  loss due to  aging or illness, a peptide based brow serum combats thinning and speeds up growth.

Proper maintenance is important.



  • Save yourself from having a browtastrophy by getting the best professional treatment (approximately every three weeks).



  • Talk your therapist through your brows



  • Discuss what you would like done, what bits you want off and what shape you would like.

Never ever tweeze.



  • Your brows will grow back sporadically and out of control.



  • Exfoliating ingrown hairs, lifts the hairs from the root, and makes hair removal  easier.

Hydration,exercise and a balanced diet are necessary for hair growth and lustre.



  • A diet rich in B vitamins (these are abundant in meat,grains,vegetables,dairy,bananas,mushroom and eggs) will nourish brows internally.Vitamin B7 otherwise known as Biotin is great for overall hair and brow health.

Suitable pencils, brow powders, tinting, brow gels can make a huge difference.



  • Make sure the colour is not too dark when you fill them in.



  • Look underneath your hair and match your brow colour.



  • Since pencils can look harsh and unrealistic,use hair like strokes that mimic actual hairs.

"The Brow is now. It has always been and will remain the dominant beauty motif to signify an era."
