Fresh Feather Looks for the Season

Tips for Skin, Make Up & Hair 

We all like to look our best, but unfortunately we do not have the time and energy to put into our appearance every day. Sometimes we have to make a spur of the moment run to the store in our sweat pants or we pick up our children from school make-up less with hair pulled back into a lack luster pony tail. There is nothing wrong with being real and having days where we dont appear as put together as wed like but we have some simple tips on freshening up your assets to help you look amazing anytime. 

Astringent- Everyone has different facial routines. Some support healthy skin with acne creams and others with gentle cleansers. It is important to use a gentle astringent such as Witch Hazel to reduce the size and appearance of pores. Once pores diminish, skin will appear softer and produce a healthy glow. Because the astringent closes pores it also helps skin stay guarded from unwanted dirt which can cause black heads. 

Moisturizer- After cleaning skin and closing your pores it is important to apply a light moisturizer at night. From all of the toxins your skin came into contact with throughout the day, and from a good cleaning at night, rejuvenate your skin with a moisturizing facial lotion. 

Sunscreen- Sunscreen is always important no matter the season. Wear a light S.P.F. that is non-greasy to protect your skin from harmful rays. 

Concealer- Wearing concealer underneath eyes can cover up skin discoloration or bags to give your face a brighter appearance. Concealer should be used in any skin areas that appear red or blemished to give skin color consistency. 

Brightener- After make-up is applied place a brightener on skin in key areas to enhance your youthful glow. Brightener, also known as highlighter, should be applied to the inner eyes, just underneath brow lines, the bridge of the nose and cheek bones. Your face will appear dewy and healthy. 

Lip Balm- Nothing says tired and out of time like dry lips. Get into the routine of placing a moisturizing lip balm on before bed and before applying lip stick. Your lips will be protected from the crisp, windy weather not to mention soft and plump. 

Pony Tail- For those of us that love a classic ponytail but dont want to appear uninspired, try adding a few feather extensions. Hair feather extensions will update your boring do and draw attention to your face and your stylish hair. Try peacock feathers for a splash of color this fall.

Bangs- With a few snips of scissors your hair can take on a fresh new look. Have a professional stylist cut straight a heavy layer of bangs that come just above the lash line to emphasize your eyes and girlish appearance. 

Bold Color- Lose the highlights this season to create a fierce freshness. Warm chocolate and honey colored hues will brighten up your skin tone and give rich color to your locks for winter.
