The Juicy Beauty Word

Long beautiful eyelashes are all the rage. I like enhancing the natural lashes to their full potential instead of relying on falsies or expensive lash extensions. Don't get me wrong, false lashes and lash extensions look fabulous, but I for one, don't like the glue. I find it irritating.   And.... my brides are always worried the lashes will start to unglue before the night is over. It can happen. I even saw lashes come unglued on Dancing with the Stars! How to Apply Lash Fibers to your Lashes Start Clean First, always start with clean lashes. Get rid of any mascara remnants that will interfere with a smooth mascara application. Use an oil free makeup remover and rinse your face for good measure.  Curl 'em Curl the top lashes with a lash curler.

Is your skin looking parched from the cold winter? It needs moisture and protection from the harsh winter winds! Some foundations offer more hydration for dry skin than others.  One of our suppliers suggested we try Youngblood Liquid Mineral Foundation with Deep Sea Hydrating Complex.  I always like to sample a product before we start carrying it in the salon.
