Professional Skin Care Look
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.
