Today’s tip is about Makeup Mistake That Makes You Look Older #2:

As I mentioned, there is nothing wrong with getting older, but there is no reason to make yourself look older than you are.  For the next few weeks, I’m going to give some tips on which makeup mistakes to avoid making yourself look older than you actually are.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, we all make mistakes. 😉

Tip 2: Choose the correct color of blush! I LOVE blush! It is one of the magical makeup products that can be applied quickly and simply, yet will instantly add brightness and life to your face.

While adding blush to the apples of your cheeks can give the face a lifted look, blush can quickly go from magic to a tragic if you choose a color that is too dark.  Depending on your skin tone, a soft peach or rosy hue can add a youthful glow to the face, but a too dark shade will make the face look dull and tired.

Two of my current favorite blushes are TARTE Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush $29 (available in 13 permanent shades and 6 limited edition shades) and the ESSENCE Satin Touch Blush $2.99 (available in only 2 shades)

One of my favorite blush brushes,The Wet N Wild blush brush, costs less than $2 and comes from the drug store.

Today’s tip is about Makeup Mistake That Makes You Look Older:

There is nothing wrong with getting older, but there is no reason to make yourself look older than you are.  For the next few weeks, I’m going to give some tips on which makeup mistakes to avoid making yourself look older than you actually are.

Tip 1: Moisturize your skin and neck! You will never regret giving your skin some extra care. Even if you have oily skin you need to moisturize! (you can read more about my tip for moisturizing oily skin by clicking HERE)

If your skin is tired, oily, dry and cracked your foundation will sink into those lines giving your face an older appearance.  Cleanse, tone and moisturize your face every day!

One of my favorites has always been Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel  $27 for 4.2 oz.

My current favorite day cream is the Loreal Revitalift moisturizer/hydrant $17 for 1.7 oz.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, we all make mistakes. 😉

Today’s tip is about fixing a mascara mistake:

How many times have you been innocently doing your makeup when all of a sudden slip and smear, now you’ve got a blob of mascara on your face or eyelid? NOOOOOOO!

Don’t panic! Also don’t act right away!  Let the mascara dry and simply gently wipe it off with a dry cotton swab.  Sounds too simple to be true, but it really is that easy.

Maybe you have rubbed the mascaraa bit too vigorously?  That’s ok, just use your beauty sponge (brush or whatever you applied your face makeup with) to touch up the area.  If you over enthusiastically removed the mascara mistakes from your eyelids, use the corresponding eyeshadow brush and blend out your mistake.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, we all make mistakes. 😉

Today’s tip is about multi masking:

I’m not a fan of one-time use masks. I  believe that with skincare, just as with eating right and exercising, to see results anything that you do needs to be done consistently.

I’ve just made masking part of my weekly routine. I usually do masks twice a week, always on Tuesdays and Fridays.  Having a set day to do masks makes sure I don’t forget to do a mask.

Here is where the “multi masking” comes in…in the morning before I shower, I put the mask on first thing, then let it do its thing while I brush my teeth and go to the bathroom. I then get into the shower and wash off the mask while in the shower.

Once you do your masks this way and make this part of your masking routine, you will never do it any other way!

Queen Helen has a lot of great masks I especially love the Mint Julep Masque. You can get it at CVS and Walgreens.

Formula 10.0.6 has a ton of great masks! You can choose from several different types, it will basically depend on what you want from the mask.

Today’s tip is about removing your makeup:

Sometimes I fall asleep on the couch before I have washed my makeup off.  It could be so tempting to go right to bed without washing my face…

Never go to bed with makeup on!  Your skin with thank you and you will be glad that you did.  A little bit of extra time at night is totally worth it! My morning makeup application takes me half the time it used to because my skin is so healthy.

It’s thick and feels a little greasy as it rubs into the skin.  As I gently rub it on, my makeup literally melts right off!  No scrubbing, no harsh rubbing, just melts right off!

I use a damped old face cloth to wipe off the cream from my face and then rinse my face with warm water.

Today’s tip is about trying out new products that don’t work out for you:

This tip might seem so simple, but if a beauty product doesn’t work for you, don’t keep it! Keep your receipts, most drugstores and Ulta/Target/Walmart will let you return used beauty products as long as you have the receipts.

Today’s tip is about trying out new products one at a time:

It is so exciting to buy new beauty products!  When trying out new things, start with one product at a time! After you have used the product for a full three days to one week introduce something new.

Too many new things all at once might cause irritation to the skin.  If you use one product at a time and have skin issues, you will know which new thing is breaking you out or irritating your skin.   You can then easily eliminate that product from your routine.
