Let's Do Makeup

Doing your makeup can be very confusing at times,
what with all the different colors and different
ways of applying makeup, can confuse anybody.
When I took my course to become a Certified
Beauty Advisor I did it with Avon Products.
The system they use is easy and fun. So
today I want to pass on some of that
information to you.

How to tell your undetones is the first
thing to do. Every skin tone has more
than one shade of underline color.

If you have: Hair= soft shade of brown,
blonde, dark brown or black
Eyes= blue, gray, or brown/black
Skin= Pink, Rosy, Beige, or brown
Then your undertone is a cool.

If you have: Hair= Golden or Red
Eyes= Green or Brown
Skin= Olive or Golden
Then your undertone is a warm.

The last undertone is Neutral. Most
people fall into this category.
Neutral is a balance between warm and cool
undertones. Now on to the color palate.

Your cool Color Family is Pinks and Roses. This
includes these colors: Pinks, Roses, Fuchsias,
Lavenders, Grapes, Cherries,
and wines.

Your warm Color Family is Browns & Bieges. This
includes these colors: Browns, Bronzes, Golds,
Mochas, Taupes, & Spices.

Your neutral Color Family is Corals & Reds. This
includes these colors: Peaches, Corals, Oranges,
Brownish Reds, Tawnies,
Apricots, & all shades
of Red.
Once you have established what color family
you are in then you need to know what intensity
you are. Intensity is how light or dark your
colors should be.
Light Intensity:
Blonde hair, light blue, gray or green eyes and
fair skin tone.

Dark Intensity:
Dark brown to black hair
medium to dark eyes
medium to dark skin

Medium Intensity:
Light to medium brown, dark blonde,
red, or auburn hair.
medium eye tone, and medium skin tone.

The next step is "The Ten Steps To A Perfect Face"
( I got that from Avon)

The items you will need are:
1. concealer
2. foundation
3. powder
4. base eyeshadow and accent shadow
5. eye liner
6. brow pencil or brow powder
7. blush
8. mascara
9. lip liner
10. lipstick

This is as far as I will go today as it is
time to pick up the children. You know how
that is. Anyway, not only do these products
help make our face look pretty, so does good
health. Drink plenty of water, but not to
much if you heard the news today, and to eat
right and get enough sleep.
All these things are equally important to looking
good and feeling good.
Tomorrow I will have a new recipe for you too.

Until tomorrow.
