Best Makeup Removal

Hi!!
Today I want to talk about the three best products to use when removing your makeup before bed. I have two actual removers, and a cleanser that I use for taking off my makeup/getting my face spotless. I have tried many different products, and this is what I have found to be the best for oily skin.

Step 1. I use an eye makeup remover that is oil free, and good for all skins. It is Mary Kay eye makeup
remover, and it is literally the best out there. I use a cotton pad to get it off, I hold it there with the remover on it for 2-4 seconds. Then I wipe straight across my lid, removing both eye and eyebrow makeup. Its a clean sweep, and you can see the results right there on the cotton pad. Good stuff!!!

Step 2. To get my foundation/highlighter/contour makeup off I use Neutrogena's makeup remover cloths. They are gentle and practically harmless, and they feel good on my
skin. Again, with this product, you can see the results on the towel. After I am done there is a significant amount of makeup on the towel and not on my face. This makes step three really easy.

Step 3. I now wash my face using Mary Kay's 3 in 1 cleanser for combination to oily skin. This gets off the rest of my makeup, and it cleans my face up for my nightly skin
care routine, which i talk about in my other blog. I love how fresh and tight the skin on my face feels after using this product. So refreshing!

Ok that's basically it. Pretty simple and easy. You can buy Neutrogena's makeup remover cloths at any grocery/drug store. As for the Mary Kay items, you can go here and buy from me under the consultant Amanda Younger, or any other consultant in your nearby area, or you can go to a local fair and meet a Mary Kay consultant at their booth! That's all for me for now!

The right way to contour

Hi all,
Today I will be discussing the right way to contour your face. We will discuss how to do this using three different liquid products:
1. Foundation.
 2. Concealer.
 3. Bronzer.
 First, let's discuss product. Your foundation should be the color of your skin. It should even skin tone and reduce redness. It should NOT be the product you want to make you look tan.
Next we want to talk concealer. This should be at least 2 shades lighter than your foundation, as well as your skin tone. This is also called highlighter, being that it will bring out the features you like in your face. You don't want this to be too light, as it can cause shine.
Third, you want either a concealer, actual bronzing product, or a foundation that is one to two shades darker than your foundation/skin tone. However, you don't want more than two shades darker, it will make the rest of your face look washed out.

Ok, now let's talk technique. Before you begin, make sure your face is clean and has been moisturized. Now put on your foundation. This creates a base for your contour.

Now, refering to the picture, make your lips puckered and apply the concealer(highlighter) to the light areas as shown. Then use the bronzer(foundation, concealer, etc.) to the areas where your cheeks go in, where the top of your head is, on the sides of your chin, and the indents of your nose.

Now you are ready to blend! Do this with either a cosmetic sponge (these are best) or a wet foundation brush that is clean. Start in the light areas and work out towards the dark bronzer. Never go from the outside in. Always work from the inside out.

When you are finished, it should look natural, while also catching light to give a soft look to your face. Try it out and comment pictures of your efforts! I would love to see them! If any of you have trouble getting the look you want, shoot me a message and we can talk about what you need help with.

That's all for now, see you soon!
