Professional Skin Care Look
by John Russell
When you walk in a room, have people notice your Beauty not your make-up!
The place to start for skin care that looks professional is clear healthy skin,
it’s a must.
Whereas many women simply wash their face, cleansing the skin is
important to the final finish. To effectively cleanse the skin, NEVER, EVER use
soap off the shelf of the drugstore or grocery mart. A professional cleansing
product that is specifically developed for your skin type is mandatory.
World-class products, supplied by IH Distribution, include Cleansing Cream for
dry skin, Cleansing Lotion for oily skin, hydrating wash with anti-aging
properties for mature skin. More information about these products can be
obtained from www.ihdistribution.com.
Next, NEVER scrub your face with a
washcloth, always use the fingertips. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with
a towel.
A critical step often missed is the use of a toner or freshener, which is also
directly tailored to your skin type; this is important because it will remove
any remaining oil, debris, or remnants the cleanser left behind. Then, using the
proper moisturizer (again, tailored to your skin type) is paramount.
The foundation used is vitally important because where eye shadow, blush and
lipstick may accent your facial features; the foundation sets the tone for a
woman's visual appearance. Find a shade that disappears into your skin, which
will be the correct shade for your complexion. IH Distribution has 15 different
shades for which one perfectly matches everyone’s skin. The About Face Line
Defiance Makeup is SPF8, which smoothes the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The
new line of liquid makeup is blended with vitamins A & E to protect against the
invisible enemy - Time.
When using a blush to accent facial features, use a slightly darker shade to
provide a contour to your face and provide cheekbones that "lift" from your
face. Start at the earlobe down towards the cheek so a "glob" isn't left on the
cheek. Use a blush that is lighter in color to bring out the highlights.
Eye makeup - use shadows to effectively reflect your moods! Take time to
practice and you can apply eye shadow accurately and easily. Keep in mind that
light colors highlight features and dark colors diminish. Use either 2 or 3
different shades, start with the lightest first on the entire eye lid, medium
lower only and the darkest on the outer corner which provides a perception of
depth.
Eyeliner should be applied with short strokes and remember to start at the
center and work outside to the corners.
To complete the look and the mood, quality mascara finishes your eye make-up ---
with dark eyes use navy, black, or dark brown.
Nail color - Use a polish that compliments the overall tones of your make-up.
For example, if you were using natural shades on your lips and cheeks, stay with
a natural color for nails.
Finally, lip color adds the striking appearance that makes a woman stand out and
appear desirable. A professional skin care tip is to try to use a lip pencil to
outline the lips prior to lipstick application; it's a personal thing but very
defining on some women. Also, try a small brush from tube lipstick to help
define the contours of the mouth but, more importantly, really control the
amount of color that's applied. Another professional skin care tip is to lightly
apply powder over the lips before applying the lipstick which helps it stay on
longer. For effective lipstick stain removal, apply a dab of glycerin and wash
as usual.
