Makeup
It isn’t a problem to mix your make-up brands, but I don’t.
Because 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 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.

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.
