Winter Makeup tips

So I know we all know those days, its freezing, windy, snowy, rainy, bitter outside and our face shows it. We've got the winter blues.

Cracked dry flaky lips-yes we've all experienced these awful things. Try this
Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15 and reapply it throughout the day. Drink water to stay hydrated and avoid those long-lasting lipsticks that end up drying your lips out and enhancing the dry cracks.

Pale Cheeks- running late in the morning? Try adding some blush to your cheeks. It only takes 30 seconds and it will give your face some life, color and dimension! Tips- try finding your natural blush tone, think of what it looks like when you blush or get hot is it more orangy, pinkish, rosy??

Dull Skin- Brighten up your skin with a lovely tinted moisturizer or some bronzer. Just because it may be gloomy outside doesn't mean we have to look like it. Tinted moisturizers are great for days we are running late. Make sure to find one with an spf in it, like this one. Now don't go over board on the bronzer k. We have all seen what that looks like. Try thinking of where the sun naturally would hit your face...cheeks nose a little on the forehead and jawline. Try to find a bronzer 2 shades darker than you're natural skin tone.

Perfectly Pedicured Toes

So here I am looking at my perfectly pedicured toes and thinking to myself what was my life like before I became an esthetician? Well for starters I didn't check people's eyebrows out before I even knew their name. I didn't exfoliate the dog out of my face body and feet! I looked at waxing as a painful way of being lazy about not shaving. I never clipped my cuticles off and I never put anti aging masks on my face. I lived a much simpler life before it all started. But to be honest I love vomiting at the sight of body hair or at bushy eyebrows (sorry everyone but its true it happens hair grows and crazy sometimes) or jump for joy when my client has some awesome zits I get to squeeze away at. So I know my job is a mix between a gyno, massage therapist and a dermatologist but I love it and my perfectly pedicured toes.

*disclaimer those are not my toes how I would love to have that perfect olive tone skin but ended up with pasty sun burned prone non tanning almost see through skin!
