Makeup
It isn’t a problem to mix your make-up brands, but I usually don’t.
Mostly, I don’t have to!
I am not the “keep it simple sweetie” kind of woman. I want all of the options, and I have 99% of it with Mary Kay.
And…I get it wholesale. If I wasn’t the type to want my own business, I find MK’s prices to be on the low side of the luxury market. My makeup up section is filled with “how-to’s” and easy tips.
As you age, you can get stuck in old routines that no longer serve you. You are not alone, I am with you every step of the way.
My skincare and makeup sessions will keep you fresh, up to date, and feeling fabulous.

Before/After
Over the past thirty-five years, I've had the pleasure of doing hundred of makeovers. Whether it's a makeup lesson, a bridal party, or helping someone look their best for a headshot or special occasion, each session is unique. I thought it would be fun to share some...
Diving deeper into what creates the perfect foundation
I have been seeing many videos on social media pertaining to the perfect foundation. I am wondering…if I hadn’t spent decades in the beauty industry, would I have ordered one of those foundations? Maybe, it’s so appealing. This is what they don’t tell you in the ads...
create your own bronzer
I had a client who wanted a bronzer. Mary Kay often has one on their limited-edition line. For whatever reason, they have not had one for seasons. Personally, I think that’s a failure. I often get requests for bronzers. This is a perfect example of making lemonade...
Contouring is Easy
Contouring seems to be a mystery to many. It’s easy to do… especially when you are using the correct brushes and tools. If you read the introduction to makeup in this section, I said “it isn’t a problem to mix your make-up brands, but I don’t…because I don’t have to....
Does Makeup Make a Difference?
Does makeup make a difference? Look at the photo and you will say a resounding yes! For years, this has been my makeup go-to thought…younger women wear makeup to look more sophisticated and older women wear makeup to look younger. In my 70's, I am in the older...
Add Lipstick, It Anchors your Face
Lipstick is not a life requirement. One can live a fulfilling life without it, but why not have a relationship with lipstick? You might be the one who loves one color, and you have it everywhere…in your drawer, your purse, your car, and in your desk drawer. Perhaps,...
Find out your perfect Foundation Match
I came across this questionnaire and thought it was right on for determining which foundation formula and color is right for you. Thank you, Mary Kay, on this subject. Beauty is an industry that is overcrowded with opinions and products. It’s easy to waste money and...
Recreating a Makeup Look is Fun!
Do you look at makeup videos and wonder…hey what the heck? The transitions are quick, and you really don’t see what the model did. It’s fun to look at but difficult to follow. I found a look I thought was fabulous and recreated it for you, using Mary Kay products. I...
Brows are the Gateway to Your Face
Brows are the gateway to your face. They create a balance, and without them, you can look older and certainly less noticeable. Here a couple of things to know about brows. Like fashion, brow styles change. Right now, full, triangle brows are all the rage. ...
Do You Try New Looks?
How often do you try a new makeup look? For some, it’s a fun adventure, a way to exercise your artistic flair. For others, it creates anxiety. You like what you have, and if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. I tried an idea today. I did a cat eye, and instead of filling...
Makeup Colors…What works for You?
When it comes to makeup colors, some want it all, others? Not so much. Before I became a fan of “Color Me Beautiful”, I thought one could wear any color as long it was enhanced by the right makeup colors. To a degree, I still concur. For instance, if you love olive...
When brown is NOT your color
Brown is not an intrinsically good color on me. I like it though. What’s the solution? Wear makeup with works on your face and blends with the color you are wearing…in this case, brown. Take a look at this video to give you a quick look using brown and pink.
