18 JunThe Perfect Blush For the “Indian Brides”

As the wedding season is here, I often get asked to do many Indian Bridal makeup.  The most challenging part of Indian bridal makeup is the blush.  Many Indian girls don’t like to wear too much blush.  They often tell me it makes them feel like their are wearing too much makeup and doesn’t compliement their complexion.

I have tried so many blushes more than I know what to do with.   So when I finally  found something I love, I had to share  the perfect blush because that has been a challenge  for me as well.    Here is my secret to the perfect blush which adds radiance, glow and brightens your complexion for that Indian Wedding.

I have finally narrowed it to two blushes  and it all depends on the bride to be.

Nars Blush Enchanted

Nars Blush “Echanted” : I love this cream blush because it has a soft peach tint  with gold sparkle which can be used as a blush or  highlighter. Apply over your foundation on the apples of the cheek  and dab a little around the corner bottom  and sides of the outer eye area. You might notice chunks of glitter which add a sprikle to the complexion.  If you feel the sparkle and glitter is too much, wait a few minutes until it dries and take a brush to dust off the extra which leaves your skin looking lumious and radiant.  Also this is great as a highlighter for chest and shoulder.

I love this Rose de Rose by Terry liquid blush, rich in natural pigments drawn from rose petals to blend easily into cheeks and facial contours. Skin is left feeling smooth and radiant with just a hint of color.  If you don’t like the glitter or sparkle in your blush but just want that beautiful radiant and glow apply a dot of it over your foundation on your cheeks.   You will be shocked for this does for your complexion. This has become one of my new favorite items in my makeup collection.


01 JunSummer 2010 Beauty “Must-Have’s”

Summer is finally here and we all love the warm sunny days at the beach, the  long getaway drives, summer vacation,  or just hanging out at the pool with some friends and family.   During the summer, I really hate the idea of spending too much time on makeup, or doing anything to my hair especially blow drying.    Here are some cool tips on to how to  achieve that beauty look without spending too much time or effort.

My “must-have” for the summer:

SPF Moisturizer: Protect your skin from damage this summer by SPF factor of 30 or higher.   Use it daily and you’ll help combat those early signs of aging such as sun spots and fine lines.  I usually have two, one in my car and in my bathroom.

Hair Cream: Since I hate to blow dry due to the  hot weather.  I was given a sample of Bumble and Bumble curl calming creme at one of the beauty salon and totally fell in love with it.  My hair looks healthy and shiny.   I apply calming creme  which leaves my hair free of frizz  with a  nice soft relaxed curls.

Tinted Foundation: Foundations or powder feel to heavy so I like to use tinted foundation and finish by applying a little concealer under the eye area will brighten that face.

Bronzer/Blush: Either go with a bronzer to add some color to your complexion or just go with a peachpink blush to add radiance to your complexion.

SPF 15 Lip Tint: I love the Paul Dorf SPF 15 lip tint. These come in a variety of colors, great for summer sheer lip color that hydrates  and conditions the lips.

Waterproof Mascara: For those days to the beach or pool.

Nail Color: My favorite thing to do in the summer is change my nail polish ever  two to three days.  Especially this summer there are so many beautiful colors to choose from.  I can’t download every image of all my favorite colors so I have listed some of my favorite sites to look at some really cool colors.

25 MayAt Last! Permanent Hair Removal At Home

For many of the  women who wish they never have to wax or shave again well your prayers have been answered.  The very first FDA cleared laser hair removal for home by TRIA.  In as few as eight treatments you will be hair free.

Tria is  designed to gently disable hair growth so that your skin remains smooth and hair-free — for good. Cleared by the FDA, the TRIA Laser offers the permanent results that only real laser hair removal can provide.

During treatment, the TRIA Laser targets the dark pigment in the hair; together they generate heat that quickly disables the hair follicle, causing the hair to gradually fall out and stop growing back.

Hair grows in cycles, so not every hair can be treated at the same time. That’s why it’s recommend that, during the first 3 months, you treat every two weeks.  After that, treat just once a month until you complete 8 treatments.

It is  for people with dark brown to black hair and fair to med  tan  complexion.  Save thousands of dollars on laser hair removal at the privacy of your home.

Go to Tria’s website to see a video demo of how tria works.
