The Secret!….edge your eyes with black on the top and brown on the bottom for a softer , younger look….with the bottom lash line lighter than the top, it creates an illusion of brighter eyes. You can also put Sparkle Dust #37 in the inner eye corners….why wait for evening occasion? Everyday is a great day to be all the woman you can!

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right. You believe lies so eventually you can learn to trust in yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
Marilyn Monroe

Absolute must…and this is the missing link….be sure to have foundation AND powder over your lips first! Then proceed with your neutral lipliner, lipstick and finish with gloss….Lipstick will not stay on bare lips for long.

These 2 shades I made over 20 years ago give just enough color to show on every lip tone but don’t ever make you fell uncomfortable when wearing.It just looks like you done a little bit of something, but not in a “done” way. They are sheer and moisturizing too. Choose “Sugar Crystal” for fair to med lip tone and “Rose Glace” for med to deeper. ($21) call 425 778-4757 to order!

Here’s a great tip for lifting your eyes that I do on all my clients!…..Instead of following the natural shape of your upper eye….ALWAYS..gently wing the line upward on the outer corners only using a small wedge brush. I use black because this will make your natural eyecolor pop. (use dark brown if you want a super natural look)

If you are like me, you may have noticed your lips have gotten thinner, smaller and the corners can tend to turn downward……here’s what you can do with just the proper choice of makeup to make your lips look as full and youthful as possible:
1. Use a lip pencil that just matches your lip tissue ( I recommend “Cameo” $17 from my line, this is the only color you need to match all lipsticks!)
2. Line your lips on the outside, …stop before you get to the corners, ignore the corners.
3.Fill with a light lipstick shade,. no darker than your natural lip color….NO DARK COLORS, ladies!
4. Always apply a super glassy, lip gloss on the bottom lip to finish.

Do you know what is so fantastic about your eyelashes?….they never age! Don’t leave home without as much black, sexy fringe that you can create.
Here’s how to do it:

The trick is to use a little metal separating comb ,plastic ones do not work. ( you might want to give mine a try ,” The Lash Lifter” $14) Be brave!!… ,3 to 4 coats on top lashes, 2 on the lowers. Just gently fan out and keep lash TIPS combed and separated. No clumps, a natural younger looking eye that is lifted and wide eyed. Just, like those young babes!
