Eyelash Extensions: An Application Can Transform Your Look (VIDEO)

Posted Monday, March 05, 2012 by NewBeauty Staff

There are many reasons your eyelashes are sparse. Whether it's the cause of stress, hormones, or time itself, your lashes thin out as you age. Enter eyelash extensions—a quick way to add length and fullness to your lashes. Watch as we chat with CEO & Creative Director of NovaLash, Sophy Merszei, to see how eyelash extensions are applied. Also watch until the end to see the dramatic before and after

Did you know that you really should change your make-up with the seasons? It really does reflect on your appearance. Here’s a quick guide on how to do your make-up all year round.

You aren’t still wearing the same old makeup colors that you wore last winter are you? Spring is coming and there are some great new colors to check out.
For eye shadow, bright bold colors are IN. There are great pinks, deep purples and awesome blues, not to mention oranges, greens etc. to check out as well. Play up your eyes with these new shades.

There are great new mascaras that make eyelashes long and thicker. The look of false lashes can be obtained, creating that spiky look that is soooooooooooo popular. One end fortifies and lengthens the lashes and the other end coats the lashes with lush color. And when they say that is makes your lashes longer… it definitely works that way for me.

I challenge you to test out DivaGlam’s foundations they are definitely worth sharing. They have mineral pressed and loose powder foundations, jojoba liquid foundation as well as HD foundations that give you that airbrushed finish. Specializing in hard to find colors, custom blending different from what is on the market at the moment. And the best part, it offers flawless coverage, but to anyone else, it’s just you.

To blush for this season try a mixture of pink and peach, for lighter complexions, peach and bronze for medium skintones, and bronzer with golden tones for darker skintones. Two colors warm up complexions perfectly. Try mixing the shades that you have and see how it works for you.

Full face make-up is not really necessary any more (no matter what your age). And in the summer who wants full make-up on their face? Use a tinted moisturizer rather than a regular foundation. Also foundation applied to you t-zone is acceptable and add a sheer powder over entire face after will do very nicely. It will even out your skin tone and is so much lighter.

As far as fragrance goes, keep your summer fragrance light and fresh. A cologne or toilet water spray with some of the new aromatherapy scents is perfect. You can always go back to your regular or a heavier perfume at first frost. Overall, just think light, airy, sunny, and you can’t go wrong with less make-up in the summer.

Remember, “LESS IS MORE”, especially as you get older. Take what you see in magazines and on tv and make it YOUR own, those LOOKS are only guidelines for you to use. If you remember this then you will always be a FASHION DIVA!!!

b’HUE-tifullly yours,

I love this video and wanted to share it with my readers.  I always stress the importance of skincare.  It was my grandmother who first told me the secret to looking young later in life.   She always cleansed her skin and used moisturizer daily.  The other advice she gave me that was of great importance as well was never to go to bed with your makeup on.  This one act alone will save you years off the face.
I was told that going to bed with makeup on can age the skin by 10 years!!!!!! WOW just think 10 years can be taken off you face just by following simple steps 1. cleanse morning and night.  2. moisturize morning and night.
Today we have so many products to choose from for this so just do your homework and find what works for YOU.  My grandmother used Ponds cold cream and vasaline and nothing else.  At the age of 104 she had barely any wrinkles at all.
Remember YOU only get ONE face, so treat it well.

Winter-Licious Foundation


  Makeup Foundation for Winter Throughout the year, our makeup needs change just as our wardrobe needs change. Winter is a notoriously hard time of year for the face, which is often the only part of our bodies that are exposed to the elements. Foundation should be considered to be your second skin, only better, so using the right tools can help keep your face looking fresh and natural through the coldest winter months.

During winter, the skin tone can be quite different than it was during the summer months. In order to keep your face looking natural, always choose a foundation that closely matches your skin tone throughout the year. In winter, our skin tone tends to be at its palest, so make sure to test a foundation before you buy it. Try a small amount on your skin and let it set for a couple of minutes, and look at the results in the best light available. Testing is important even if you feel you’ve got a perfect match in the bottle because the natural acid in our skin can change the tint of the foundation. If you tend to experience dryer skin during the winter months, try out a foundation that advertises hydrating properties.

Moisturizer is an essential part of your makeup routine during the winter months. Keeping your skin hydrated will prevent your skin from drying or flaking. Ideally, your moisturizer or foundation should include sunscreen, especially during winter, when the sun can be quite harsh. After your moisturizer is set, apply concealer as you need it. The concealer should also match your skin tone, and it can help hide the appearance of dark circles under the eyes or red blemishes. Finally, apply the foundation lightly with your fingertips. The goal is to use a small amount or all over coverage, which helps keep the face looking fresh and healthy. Remember, you can always add more in areas where you need it.

At DivaGlam Cosmetics we offer Mineral and Liquid Foundation loaded with moisturizers and vitamins to help protect and put back into the skin what nature has taken away. It is also during this time of year when a switch from powder to liquid may be recommended.

  Custom blended foundation is also a route you may consider taking as well, we make the foundation to match your skintone exactly. That means for you that it is YOUR FOUNDATION no one else will have the color since it is created especially for you and you alone. Please stop by the site and make an appointment for YOUR custom foundation, treat yourself to a very special Christmas present especially for YOU.
