Today’s tip is about how to make a simple gift seems special!

The holiday season can get quite hectic! There are so many things that need to be checked off the to-do list!  Simplify your gift giving by breaking up gift sets to make personalized gifts for several different people.

I found these great gift sets at Trader Joes.  Break them down into individual items, mix and match…add in some delicious and super cute chocolate…Put all these items into a gift bag with some pretty tissue paper and you will have a beautifully personalized gift that took you mere minutes to prepare.You can do this with any type of pre-packaged gift set.  There are all kinds available to choose from this time of year: lipstick, nail polish, eyeshadows, lotions and more.

Today’s tip is about foundation and bronzer…

If you cannot find a shade of foundation that perfectly matches your skin and are trying to choose between too light and too dark, go with the lighter of the two.  After applying the lighter shade, use bronzer to add depth and life to the high points of your face.

Just be careful with how much bronzer you apply!  You don’t want to end up looking ridiculous ;-)…

Today’s tip is about liquid lipstick…

Due to the long-wearing matte formula of many liquid lipsticks, they can often dry out lips. If you are a liquid lipstick lover, it is important to give your lips lots of TLC with balms and exfoliation.

Today’s tip is about how to get the most out of your false lashes:

1. Start by curling your natural lashes and applying one coat of mascara so your lashes can support the weight of your falsies.
2. Next, cut the lash band to the size of your lash line.
3. Apply a thin layer of lash glue and wait for it to dry.
4. Finally, start by applying the lashes on the outer corner, first moving to the inner corner, hugging the lash line tight.

Today’s tip is about how to get the most out of your face makeup!

After I apply my primer, foundation and setting powder, I apply a few sprays of setting spray.  While applying setting spray is a great tip, that isn’t this week’s tip.  Before my setting spray is dry, I take my beauty sponge and press the setting spray into my face.  Not only does this extend the length of my makeup, but it also takes away any of the powderiness, giving the face a more natural look.

Products mentioned:

• Wet N Wild Setting Spray
•  REAL TECHNIQUES Miracle Complexion Sponge

Today’s tip is about how to get the best foundation application!

1. Clean and tone your skin.  A great base starts with prepped skin.
   • I love the Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herb, and Rosewater.
2. Moisturize your face. Give the moisturizer time to sink into the skin.
3. Prime your face.  Choose your primer based on what you want it to do.
   • A great pore filling primer is the BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer.
   • One that is great for extending the life of your makeup is the MAC Prep + Prime Skin
4. Apply a small amount of foundation to start.  It is better to need to apply more to increase coverage than to have too much on right from the start.
   • My current favorite foundation applying tool is the REAL TECHNIQUES Miracle Complexion Sponge
   • 
5. Apply a fine layer of loose setting powder to the entire face concentrating on problem areas of your face.
   • One of my favorite powders is the Coty Airspun Powder.
6. Lightly spray your face with a setting spray.
   • Wet N Wild makes a great spray.
   • No one can bet the All Nighter by Urban Decay.

Today’s tip is about how to add an extra boost of glow to your skin.

For an extra boost of hydration to your skin making it more glowy, to your moisturizer add two drops of your favorite facial oil, my favorite is the Tarte Maracuja Oil, $48 for 1.7 oz.  Also, don’t forget to always smooth in moisturizer in upward strokes and remember to apply moisturizer to your neck and chest! I recommended the Cerave moisturizing cream.
