Gettting ready for spring?

As most women know, great makeup starts with great skin care. I love
healthy, glowing skin. It makes my job so much more fun. I like to enhance
my client's features, not hide them. This all starts with a commitment to a
good skin regimen.
I have used a lot of skin care products, but I have to say my favorite is
Sodashi (sodashi.com). It is a high end, organic product that is primarily
found in luxury spas around the world. ! It's a little pricey but the
quality will back it up! I highly recommend that you buy your skincare from
skincare professionals and not just over the counter.
I have a few key products I love in my kit:
I start every client off with a Calm Rose Spray (Mel B, Adrienne Bailon and
Ryan Seacrest Favorites). A couple of sprays and you're calm, hydrated and
ready for your makeup. It is also amazing for refreshing your skin and
makeup throughout the day! I love it for travelling and recommend to all my
clients that they take it with them on the plane.
I also love the Blemish Treatment. It's great for those trouble spots that
just pop up when you least expect them and could really live without them.
It also will not harm your skin with alcohol or any abrasive chemicals.
With the right skin regimen you can be ready for that sexy spring glow!

Clean Brushes = Beautiful Makeup!

Clean brushes are mandatory for healthy skin and beautiful makeup!

The BEST way to clean and take care of your brushes is the same way  
you clean your own hair.
Most brushes are real hair and need to be treated like real hair.
I love Kim Vo Shampoo and Conditioners and I use it on my own hair and to
clean my  brushes too!

It just takes a few, simple steps.

1) Take a small bowl of warm water and a little bit of shampoo (the size of
a quarter).
2) Place your brush in the water and mix around a couple times.  
3) Rinse with cool water.
4) Shake off any excess water and lay on a clean towel.

I clean my brushes like this every night and they are perfect first  
thing in the morning!

Once a month I shampoo and then condition them. It is SO important to take
good care of your brushes. Not only will they last longer but your skin will
be healthier and the makeup will look much, much better.

Eyelash Adhesive

As you all probably know, I launched my custom eyelash line this year! It has been a dream of mine for so long and I am thrilled they have had such a great response. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I have received a lot of emails asking about lash adhesives so just wanted to let you all know that I use DUO lash adhesive. It is the best for applying my custom lashes.
Duo comes in Clear and Black. I always use clear for a nude or natural lid. Use black if you are using darker color (like a smokey eye) because the clear will sometimes show up as grey on dark colors.
You can get DUO at any main pharmacy or beauty supply store. It costs about $6 and will last a really long time since you use it sparingly on my lashes. This also helps the longevity of the lash. You should be able to get somewhere between 3 and 6 wears.

As always, feel free to email any questions. Sometimes I can answer them directly…other times I will address them in my blog.
