HERE ARE 8 EASY TIPS
TO GET YOU OUT THE
DOOR & LOOKING
FLAWLESS

  1. Prepare it – Clean skin is clear skin, so take the
    time to cleanse your skin well with a great quality
    cleanser. My preference is to always used an oil
    based cleanser as they offer deep cleaning &
    makeup removal in one step and leave behind
    cushioned, radiant skin. Not all oils are created
    equal, so please take care to read labels and use a
    cleanser that has high quality carrier oils and
    nourishing essential oils. Our fans out there know
    that the Hush + Dotti balm cleanser is like none
    other when it comes to deeply cleaning & clearing
    the skin without stripping it.
  2. Protect it – Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!
    We can’t say it enough. Protecting your skin daily
    with a barrier of high quality sunscreen is the best
    defense against premature aging. Once the sun
    damage is done it is nearly impossible to undo.
    Invest in a superb sunscreen that is (please,
    please, please) not filled with chemicals. There
    are several on the market today that can offer you
    incredible sun protection without coating your
    fabulous face with unnecessary chemicals. I adore
    Coola and their products. I highly recommend
    their Cucumber Matte SPF30
  3. Plump it – Moisturizers and other forms of
    hydration like face oils do something more than
    feel good and offer a cozy cushion to the skin.
    Hydration plumps up the surface of the skin giving
    a smoother, more even appearance. Plumping up
    the skin with a great moisturizer or face oil is the
    best way to start the day. The skin gets
    dehydrated as the day goes on simply from being
    on the go. Coffee & alcohol consumption along
    with neglecting our daily water intake will only
    make it worse. My all time favorite form of
    hydration is to use a face oil that leaves the
    surface of your skin non greasy & ready for
    makeup application. Face oils do not have the
    water content that cream based moisturizers do,
    so they pack more of a hydrating punch. This
    leaves the skin beautifully plumped and primed for
    makeup. We don’t call ours Dream Drops for
    nothin’!
  4. Powder it – Be careful, this part can be very,
    very tricky. Powdering is not something that
    should happen automatically. Powder is
    something that asks for your respect and
    patience. Powder can be used to set the
    foundation, but again I would apply it mainly to the
    t-zone area. Leave your cheeks glowy. Powder is
    almost always something I reserve for TV,
    photography or those with very oily complexions.
    Powder is not something that should be painted
    on with a broad brush & used on everybody.
    Powder can work against you as much as it can
    work for you, so be smart in how you use it, when
    you use it and how much you use of it.
  5. Perfect it – The two key products for perfecting
    the skin are concealer and liquid foundation.
    Concealer gets applied under the eye in a half
    moon shape, then gets blended in leaving a
    smooth & lifted appearance. Foundation gets
    applied mostly in the t-zone of the face (the
    forehead, nose & chin area form a “t” shape which
    is referred to as the t-zone) then gets blended
    down to the jawline from there. There should be
    very little foundation left to blend by the time you
    get to the jawline. The t-zone is often the reddest
    or most uneven part of the face, so that’s why we
    start there and concentrate the coverage in that
    area. Take care not to overdo the foundation. Use
    a sponge or a foundation brush. When you’re
    done, your skin should look smooth and glowing,
    but most importantly it should look like skin and
    not makeup. Bronzer can be used to blend into the
    face to warm up the complexion. It’s also a great
    tool for making sure the face, neck and chest have
    the same coloring. While bronzer is an exceptional
    product you should refrain from trying to tint your
    skin to be significantly darker than it is naturally.
    That will leave you looking more like a cartoon
    character and less like the fierce babe that you
    are.
  6. Pop it – While I realize that the Walking Dead is
    an enormously popular show, I am not an
    advocate of walking around in every day life
    looking like a zombie. For that reason I always like
    to infuse a healthy flush of color into the check
    area. Punching up the cheek color is the best way
    to brighten up the complexion to make you look
    awake, refreshed and ready for the day. I like to
    push the envelope here and suggest you opt for
    brighter tones than you may normally be
    comfortable with. Bright pinks, peachy corals and
    rich apricots are so flattering when used in the
    right measure. Got wicked allergies or a
    hangover? Make sure there’s plenty of blush on
    those cheeks. It’s one of my favorite tricks to
    wake up the complexion.
  7. Pucker it – I can’t tell you how many times I’ve
    seen a beautiful makeup application goes awry
    because someone has the gnarliest, driest,
    crustiest (yes I said it) lips. Our lips take a beating
    and can often be the most ignored part of the
    face. Exfoliate them gently with a washcloth and
    take care to hydrate them with a rich, nourishing
    lip balm. If you hate lip balm, then try a little lip
    gloss . Most good quality lip glosses have many of
    the same ingredients as lip balm does. They will
    provide you with a shine that will help to
    camouflage your dry flaky lips while they heal
    themselves into a better place.
  8. Peace out – Pressed for time? Put your
    mascara on while riding the train. With your skin
    looking flawless, you barely need anything else to
    create a gorgeous look for whatever today throws
    at you. Grab your favorite scarf or pair of earrings
    and take that glow on the road.
