Better Makeup

PERFECT YOUR MAKEUP

For some girls, it’s tough to find the reason as to why your makeup is just not looking right, so here are a few tips to make your makeup look better and more flattering. There are some very common mistakes that are made when it comes to applying makeup. The easiest way to learn about makeup application is through YouTube videos, blogs, and other beauty sources. You can also schedule a makeup lesson at the salon to give you hands on education. 

BLEND
Blending is one of the most important things to do when it comes to makeup application. Failing to blend your makeup will result in harsh lines and an unnatural look. You want your makeup to blend with your skin. Blend your foundation, eye shadow, concealer and blushes and keep it as natural as possible.

EYEBROW PERFECTION
Getting your eyebrows done will make a huge difference to your face. Clean eyebrows will create an even nicer shape to your face as well. Once they’re all cleaned up, it’s easier to fill in your eyebrows to make them nice and defined. You can use a pencil or powder to fill them in. This will make your makeup look flawless. 

CONTOUR & HIGHLIGHT
Contouring and highlighting will create an optical illusion to make your nose appear slimmer, cheekbones defined, and entire face as well. The contour is a shade or two darker than your skin tone, and should be matte. As long as you do this carefully and blend, this will make your makeup look even better.

LIP LINER
Lipstick and glosses are beautiful on their own, but adding lip liner will make such a difference. When you line your lips, your lips appear bigger and more defined. Make sure the liner is the same shade as the lipstick you use. Apply some gloss on top and you will be all set.
 
RIGHT MATCH
One very common mistake when it comes to makeup application is the foundation shade. It’s very hard to find a shade that matches us individually. Make sure you test the color in natural light, because different lighting can sometimes be deceiving. The right foundation shade for you will make your face look natural and you won’t have two different skin tones on your face and neck.

SKINCARE
Some people aren’t aware of the fact that skincare does change the way your makeup applies. Washing your face and taking care of your skin will make a difference. Your makeup will apply way more flawlessly and will give an airbrushed effect, along with the fact that you will have minimized pores, less blemishes and smoother skin. Make sure you take your makeup off at night, cleanse, exfoliate, tone, and moisturize regularly.
 
RIGHT COLOR
Along with the right foundation shade, it’s also good to choose colors that will bring out your individual tones. The colors of your shadows, lipsticks and blushes should flatter your eyes and skin tone. If you have brown or dark eyes, go for warm colors. If you have light eyes and a lighter complexion, go for cool tones.
 
OVERDOING
Another important rule to makeup application is not overdoing it. Too much makeup takes away from our natural beauty. We use makeup to enhance our look, rather than create it. Apply your makeup with a light hand. It’s always best to pick up little amounts of product and build it up appropriately. That way you don’t apply too much and will have trouble blending.
 
PRIMER & SETTING
For those who don’t know, primer is applied before any makeup. This makes your makeup go on better and last longer. Some primers also minimize the look of pores. This creates a smooth and even base for your foundation. Setting your makeup can be done with a spray or powder. This will also ensure long lasting makeup, as well as prevent it getting oily throughout the day.

 

 

 

Why cleaning your makeup brushes is important

WHY CLEANING YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES IS IMPORTANT

Makeup brushes can accumulate old makeup, dirt, oil, dead skin and bacteria. As we're about to see, there are so many reasons to clean your makeup brushes on an average of every two weeks. Here's what happens if you don't.

 ACNE 

Putting bacteria and germs back onto your face with a sticky, dusty makeup brush can aggravate underlying skin conditions like acne. If you have an open sore, pore or cracked skin, bacteria can start an infection. You'll be swapping the infection back and forth creating a never-ending cycle of breakouts.

  
SKIN IRRITATION
 
Makeup bristles caked with product can dry out, causing them to become brittle, making them abrasive to your skin. Wiping scratchy makeup brushes on the face can irritate and roughen the texture of your soft skin. It can even make your skin look dull. Cleaning your brushes on the regular keeps them soft.

  
HERPES & PINK EYE
 
Your lip gloss and mascara containers are a dark and moist environment, where herpes loves to live. You can clean your lip gloss wands and your lipstick with a spritz of rubbing alcohol. Please, never share your lip/eye brushes, mascara or eyeliner with anyone! You'll just be swapping germs.

CONTAMINATION

Cosmetic gels and creams are wet environments waiting for your dirty brush bristles, where bacteria can multiply. Liquid makeup gets older much faster than powder. Have a separate brush for each cosmetic to avoid contamination between them.

CHANGES IN COLOR

If your makeup brushes are dirty, the intended shade will not appear on your skin as its true color. Also, blending and contouring your makeup for those dramatic effects will be difficult. You want your skin to look as smooth as porcelain after you put on your makeup. Dirty makeup brushes with leave you with a spotty face.

DESTROY THE BRUSHES

Makeup creams left to dry can stiffen the bristles of makeup brushes and destroying them. Quality makeup brushes can be expensive. Cleaning them will maintain their softness and strength keeping them in good shape longer. You can opt to purchase disposable brushes or cheaper brushes to replace more often.

NO HANDS

Dirty makeup brushes are just as bad as using your fingers. Putting foundation, powder, or shadow on your face, even with clean hands, is a no-no. The oils on your hands spread bacteria around your face much more easily than brushes. We don't want bacteria on our faces because it can cause blemishes and other nasty skin irritations. Putting your hands on your face can even spread flu and cold germs.

Glowing Skin

FOOD THAT WILL GIVE YOUR SKIN THE PERFECT GLOW

We constantly apply new skin care treatments and remedies on our faces to fight off acne, but we don’t realize that our problems can be solved internally by consuming some of the foods that will clear your skin naturally.

ARTICHOKES

One of the foods that will clear your skin and improve your health is artichoke. Due to its high antioxidant content, it’s often used in creams and cosmetics as an herbal remedy. But regular consumption of this tasty vegetable can not only have health benefits, but also improve your skin and add on to your luminosity!

TOFU

One food that should be added to your menu as one of the the first steps to clearer skin is tofu.  It’s a good source of protein, calcium, unsaturated fats, antioxidants, and minerals. 

BROWN RICE

Since steady blood sugar levels and skin health are linked, it only makes sense to switch out the processed white carbohydrates for wholegrain brown rice. Brown rice not only provides Vitamin B, minerals and antioxidants but also regulates sugar levels. 

WATER

Water plays a crucial role in achieving and maintaining a healthy, glowing skin! There is an unlimited amount of health benefits from staying hydrated. It flushes out toxins, keeps the brain functional, and replenishes water cells.

NUTS

Nuts are a good solution to your acne problem if the causes of your skin condition are deficiencies in minerals, such as zinc and selenium. They help increase the amount of white blood cells in the body and strengthen their fighting power. And Vitamin E and other minerals are all essential for healthy skin. 

GARLIC

Although the smell doesn't give it away, raw garlic is a boost for your skin and your body! It reacts with blood to kill off many harmful bacteria and viruses that cause skin infections. To get the most out of garlic, it’s best to eat it raw. Chop it in a salad or meal and you are guaranteed to see improvements from your healthy diet!

SWEET POTATO

Sweet potatoes are more beneficial for your overall health and skin. They can improve the circulation to your skin, regulate blood sugar levels and as a result lift your mood! So if you want to see a change in your skin, switch out the regular potatoes for sweet potatoes!

Why you Should Get Serious About Your Skincare

Face to Face with Facial Benefits

Why you should get serious about your skin!

The benefits of a regularly scheduled facial go far beyond the element of relaxation. If you think about it, our faces take some of the biggest beatings as we roam about our daily lives. We may affect our skin by applying makeup, or by forgetting SPF protection. Sweating and habits of touching your face will also add to the buildup within pores that lead to unwanted blemishes. Skin is effected by other elements such as hormones and seasonal changes and it is best to cater your routine to its changing characteristics to have the best results. 

We cannot emphasize the amount of knowledge that is gained from having a facial. Not only is it pampering, but it serves as an avenue for raising awareness and educating you about your skin. It has been found that many individuals are confusing their skin by using the wrong cleansers.

Your Mirror Cannot Tell You Everything
Your mirror does not know what your skin needs because many of the ways skin is damaged is not easily visible in plan sight. Coming for a facial at Nicole Jeffrey's you will receive a skin analysis (as pictured above) from your professional Esthetician and through this technology you will both be able to identify what areas of your face have different needs.

Custom Blended Facial for Your Best Results 

There are different zones on your face that tend to have different needs and during your facial your skin analysis this becomes more evident. Whether you want to eliminate oil, moisturize dry skin, clear acne, smooth wrinkles, or protect from sunspot damage etc, we can help. Once you and your Esthetician discuss the best treatment plan, they will educate you a little more about the product they are custom blending for you. They will give you a copy of your skin analysis form as well as a suggested at home care instructions to further your skins health daily. 

Product is a Necessity Not Just a Plus

Bioelements is trusted by professionals for a good reason. The strength of the product to show results is incredible hence why we were not afraid to introduce our Fast Results Facial -- in just 30 minutes you can see and feel a difference but if that is true think of what we can do in an hour! The Bioelements website can give you more information if you are doing research from home on some of the products that can help you although we still recommend our professional opinion before purchasing just to be sure you are getting the most out of your product. Your future skin analysis will show your improvements as well when you conduct your routine daily.
