Make up rescue in the heat

Ok so it’s not been that sunny but it has still been hot. And heat can mean drama on the image front especially if you use poor quality make up. Here’s some tips:
For the cheeks – the blusher trick
Even if your foundation, eye colour and lip colour fade during the course of the day, a dab of blush is all it really takes to restore freshness. Just carry this around with you and you should be sorted…
Top tip: choose a luminous colour such as pink tones to add that extra fresh look – the “Heat. What heat?” look! Crème blush is also very good when applied to hot skin.

Make up rescue in the heat

Ok so it’s not been that sunny but it has still been hot. And heat can mean drama on the image front especially if you use poor quality make up. Here’s some tips:
For the complexion – the paper trick
Most of the sebaceous glands, which produce most of the unwanted shine in the heat are found in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin). Use blotting papers to mattify your skin in these areas. Unlike powder, the thin sheets of paper don’t deposit a new layer on the face – they simply absorb perspiration and oil. Wonder of wonders!!
You can also use an oil control foundation if this is an ongoing problem. To find out which foundation I’d recommend (I know because I have very oily skin) just send me an email…

Ok so it’s not been that sunny but it has still been hot. And heat can mean drama on the image front especially if you use poor quality make up. Here’s some tips:
For the eyes – the cotton wool trick
When it is hot, eye colour can quickly disintegrate and form dark bands in the creases of your eyelid. Before you leave the house roll a few cotton buds in your eye colour and place them in a case – it doesn’t have to be anything expensive. This will save space in your handbag and you can easily re-apply your eye make up at any time.
Or, you could purchase make up that comes in neat little colour cases with brushes so that you can just grab them and fly out the door! To find out what make up I recommend just send me an email…

Dark skin
If you are in this category the aim is to use shades which intensify your natural skin tone. Dark, iridescent grey, bordeaux, sparkling emerald green and sapphire blue are attractive colours for your eyelids. Copper also does wonders to set off your eyes. Remember that pastel tones are an absolute no-no!
For your lips, a golden tone works well for everyday wear. To create a dramatic look use a lip colour in wine red or black cherry.
For your cheeks, a bronze tone also works since very dark skin needs intense colour. To create accents you can use plum, berry tones and cerise.
The best nail colours for you are classic rouge noir or metallics.

Redheads
Who said finding make up for redheads is difficult? You just need to know which colours will work.
Blue-eyed and green-eyed redheads look stunning in petrol green or metallic navy – a great contrast to fiery hair. Aqueous blue looks works nicely if you have brown eyes.
For your lips, try a neutral nude tone. Matte rosewood also looks lovely, as does a simple gloss in your natural lip colour.
Since true redheads often have a very delicate porcelain complexion and freckles, bronzing powder is the best blusher you can use.
If you want make a big impression, choose purple – eye colour and/or lip colour!

Latina types
You have skin tones ranging from dark beige to olive or you are very tanned skin. Your hair and eye colour ranges from hazel to chocolate. You are brunette!
Make up colours in warm earth tones suit brunettes particularly well. You are especially suited to eye colours in brown, gold, copper and olive.
On your lips, try luscious peach tones or shimmering caramel. If you want to glam it up a yellow-toned red shows off your mouth perfectly.
For your cheeks, a true bronzer brings out the golden undertones of your skin type. A coral-coloured blush, (favourite to Hollywood star Eva Longoria) looks great for the summer.

Blondes
Pay particular attention to the undertone of your complexion: if it is more of a blue tint, cool colours will work for you but if it is more of a yellow tone, warm tones are best.
For daytime, champagne, beige, gold, and pastel tones look good on your eyes. In the evening, purple and aubergine work well. If you want some sparkle then silver works brilliantly.
Your lips look great with colours that bring out your natural lip colour, such as pink or berry tones. Or if you want to make a big impression go for it with a sophisticated classic red or a diva style black cherry effect.
Pink and apricot blush suits all blondes.

7 top tips – how to choose the right weight loss plan (7)

It must be doable long term
A good wight loss plan will help you to lose weight by focusing on healthy eating principles and exercise. It will not be about starving yourself, eating one type of vegetable or doing something stupid! You can’t starve yourself forever or eat one lone vegetable forever!- Your chosen weight loss plan must not promote a full on liquid diet. That’s not doable long term is it? If it promoted meal replacements these must come with proper meals and they must be as nutritious as a healthy meal.
- It must give you maximum flexibility in meal choices so you can build a program that is right for you. You wouldn’t be happy eating foods you don’t like in the long term would you? So don’t do it in the short term!
- A good weight loss program will not prohibit any foods, but teach you about food so that you can eat all things in moderation and make the right food choices for your individual goals.
- Your chosen weight loss plan must provide you with the tools and education you need to not only lose weight but also to maintain your new weight through the right food choices and an exercise program you enjoy and can keep up.
When you are choosing a program to help you lose weight just make sure that whatever you sign up for can be done on a long term basis. Otherwise it will be a crash diet that will result in a yo-yo dieting effect. Not good for your health or your self esteem…

It must be adaptable
I don’t believe there is any single wonder diet that which works for everybody. The optimal approach depends on the individual needs of different people, their lifestyle choices and food preferences. Therefore your chosen wight loss program should be flexible enough for you to adapt it to your needs. A good weight loss program shouldn’t focus on a single nutrient regime, but on food and exercise preferences that will support the nutritional needs of your body with a weight loss plan that will be successful in the long term.
You should be able to learn about the core values of a healthy diet and the level of exercise you need to do and maintain in order to achieve your weight loss goals. You should be able to use the supplied tools to create a weight loss program perfect just for you.
To find out the which weight loss program I would recommend just drop me an email.

It needs to guide toward a weight loss goal
This probably should have come first because without a goal you won’t get anywhere. Your chosen weight loss plan needs to walk you through simple steps to fix your targets and set up a plan to achieve your target.
So you’ll need to understand how overweight you are and how much you need to lose. Your chosen weight loss plan must help you set up a system so that you understand how long it will take you, help you apply the changes that will help you achieve your targets through eating the right foods and exercising and it needs to put checks in place to ensure you stay on track (or get back on track if you go off track)!
Your weight loss plan should guide you through measurements like your body mass index (BMI), working out what you need to lose and measuring your body fat percentage.
To find out the weight loss plan that I recommend that offers all of the above, just email me…
