True Beauty: 5 Steps to Perfect Skin

Makeup helps us feel more beautiful and quite frankly it covers up the "flaws" that we don't want others to see.

(I use the word "flaws" loosely because we are all beautiful in our own way...but to be honest with one another, we all have something about ourselves that we don't like.)

But, what if we could minimize those "flaws"?

 I am going to tell you 5 basic steps that will help you feel more confident without the makeup on.

Everyone should do these steps because our skin will represent us for a very long time!!!

1. Cleanse

• First use a "Shine Cloth" to remove your makeup. Never skip this step! Then wash your face. 
• Use "Pore Purifying Cleanser" for normal to oily skin. 
• Use "Moisture Boosting Cleanser" for normal to dry skin.
• Use everyday.
• Use warm water (NOT HOT) and get your face wet, then use a pea sized amount of cleaner and gently rub your face in small circular motions for 1-2 minutes. Don't forget about your jaw line and neck line! 

 
  2. Mask

• Use "Younique Royalty Detoxifying Mask"
• Use 2-3 times per week
• Apply on damp skin, let it sit on for 5 minute before rinsing throughly with water. 
• Helps provide oxygen and takes away minerals/toxins in your skin. 

 
 3. Tone

• Use "Younique Royalty Rose Water Toning Spritz"
• Use 2-3 times per week 
• Hold the bottle 6-8 in from face and spray on OR spray onto cotton ball and then apply to face
• Helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Also adds a glow to your skin.     

   4. Treat

• Use "Younique Royalty Uplift Beauty Serum"or "Youniques Royalty Instant Lifting Serum"
• Use everyday.
• Using the dropper, drop a small amount of serum onto your fingertips. 
• Gently massage into your skin, focusing on areas of concern.
• Both products help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
• "Uplift Beauty Serum" helps maintain the balance of oils in your face.
• "Instant Lifting Serum" will help skin appear firmer within 2 hours.  
• You may use both precuts back to back, just make sure you use "Uplift Beauty Serum" before "Instant Lifting Serum". (Lighter to thicker consistency) 

   5. Moisturize- Choose 1 Product

  

• Use "Younique Royalty Hydrating Day Cream" for normal to dry skin.
• Has SPF 20 to protect skin from the sun
• Use Younique Royalty Divine Daily Moisturizer" for all skin types.
• Helps protect skin from moisture loss
• Use "Younique Royalty Renewing Day Cream" for normal to oily skin,
• Helps with appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Apply all 3 products at the same
• Squeeze out a small, coined-size amount (enough to cover your face & neck)
• Then start at forehead in a butterfly motion and go down to cheeks, up to your nose, over your upper lip, and down over your chin. 
• Massage the remaining product onto your neck. 

Ladies, this may look like a lot but it's not. Just choose what product you want and go from there. I promise your skin will thank you!!!

Going for the Gold!

My last post I gave you guys tips on the best way to apply Younique's Liquid Gold Foundation.
But what makes this foundation better than the rest? What makes it "gold"?

This foundation is magic because:

• It is basically weightless but it still has that desired creamy texture.
• Has sheer to medium coverage, so it is easy to build and contour.

More fun facts about this product is that it is a naturally based cosmetic meaning that it is:

• Gluten Free
• Soy Free
• Paraben Free
• Paba Free
• BPA Free
• Sulfate Free
• Talc Free

This Liquid Gold Foundation is the perfect option if you are wanting a hypo-allergenic product that will be gentle enough to leave your skin feeling radiant. 

Personally I have to say my absolute favorite detail about Younique's company as a whole is that they DO NOT test on animals!!!

All of Younique's products are cruelty free. 

So after you have decided to buy foundation from this amazing company the next question is, what color to I get??

Thats simple if you are interested in buying then you have a couple different options. 

1. Contact me, send me a picture of your face without makeup on and in natural light. I will give you a FREE color match!!

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! 

Do you want flawless foundation??

Good afternoon y'all! Today lets talk about the four steps to a flawless complexion. If you haven't heard of Younique's Flawless Four then you are in for a treat!! Its a liquid brush, primer, concealer, and liquid foundation.

I personally have been using these products for about 7 months and I will never use anything else. It covers all of my flaws. I am a full-time college student and am very fair completed in the winter so I am constantly battling those stubborn dark circles.. but I have found something that helps and makes me feel so much more confident!!

When you first start you want to make sure you have a bare face with no left over makeup on it. Then you will take your Glorious eye&face primer and dispense a small amount onto your finger then apply it all over your face. You don't need to use a lot!!




Next you will take your Touch skin perfecting concealer and apply this to any flaws you specifically want covered. Completely cover your blemishes and you can do this by just using circles. Now what about those stubborn dark circles??

• The best way to cover these circles is draw it on like a triangle underneath your eye. Use the full length of your eye and come all the way down to make a tip on your cheek. Stay away from applying it like a half moon! 

The last step brings everything together!! Take your brush and liquid foundation and use the two to cover the rest of your face and blend in the concealer.

• You will only need to use 3-5 drops of the liquid foundation. A little goes a long way!
• Personally I apply 4 drops; 1 on the forehead, 1 on the chin, and 1 on each cheek. 
• Having the right brush helps a lot and this is what it looks like!

This process is so simple and takes me at most 5 minutes to do. Through on some mascara and then I am out the door!! This will last you all day and it won't get greasy. You should try it and remember wake up for the make up!! This is me after applying. 

Hi y'all welcome to my blog!! Over the next several weeks I will talk to you about beauty products. I will show you all kinds of brands including; Younique, Lancome, Urban Decay, and many more.

I will also give you tips on how to apply properly and how to keep your makeup looking fresh! In the past year I have taken a passion for makeup and even started selling Younique independently. Makeup has become a hobby of mine and the one thing I love the most about it is that it is a constant learning process.

Have you ever heard of the phrase practice makes perfect? Well that is so true when dealing with makeup. You aren't going to wake up one day and do your make up like Kim Kardashian without any practice.

So I will do my best to share tips and tricks to make the makeup world a little less intimidating. Remember, wake up for the makeup!!!
