The Top Eye Makeup Mistakes Most Women Make

EYE MAKEUP is practical magic.

It keeps you from looking washed out and tired, gets you going on a bad day, elevates your mood, and restores your confidence when you don’t feel fabulous.  it will make you feel sexy when you haven’t worked out and think you look fat.  EYE MAKEUP makes you look polished and gives your face definition.

Here are Three Top Mistakes Most Women Make –

  1.  Hoarding – If your makeup drawer is like a cosmetic graveyard; filled with makeup mistakes and products from five years ago, toss them out. Now!  Makeup can breed bacteria.  (Read my When to Break up With your Makeup post)  Mascara is the most vulnerable. Replace it every 3 months.
  2. Using the Wrong Tools – Using the applicators that come with the makeup you buy.  Short foam applicators with stubby round tips make applying shadow difficult.  Ge a pro set of brushes for a rock star application.
  3. Neglecting to Clean – I’ve seen some pretty horrific makeup come spilling out of cosmetic bags.  Grimy, dirty makeup pouches with dull pencils, crumbly powder shadows; and mascara with grubby applicators.  Puh-leeze clean dirty brushes, sharpen dull pencils, crape the top film off shadows, and use coconut oil to de-grease and clean all your compacts, as well as the interior of the case itself when necessary.

Beauty Hack: Top Secret Ingredient for Glowing Skin

 

Would you like to know the secret ingredient to looking good, feeling confident and gaining attention?  This works! You’re going to LOVE it!

Are you feeling, Blah? Boring? Maybe you haven’t had a chance to exfoliate (which by the way, is my number one anti-aging skin care tip!); to get that fresh looking skin. I’ve got a beauty hack for you today.

TOP SECRET! We’re going to start with your cream or liquid foundation (it won’t work with powder or loose mineral foundation) and you’re going to go ahead and put some on the back of your hand. One pump (dime size) and then here’s the secret ingredient… it’s oil! I have the acai (ah-sigh-ee) oil with pomegranate (tomorrow I’m going to try Coconut Oil) and it’s going to take one little pump along side the foundation. Get your brush and mix it all together. “Stipple it” and it looks like beautiful flawless skin with a little bit of a glow. The oil doesn’t take away from the coverage it just makes it look more like your skin. It’s glowing. I love it! What do you think? Glowing, right? Try it! You’re going to love it!

Share this hack with your friends and your team and then COMMENT below and tell me which flavor oil you tried.

This is a game changer for you Essential Oil Independent Consultants!!!

P.S. Your skin always needs to be moisturized even if it’s oily. Your skin will over produce oil if it’s not moisturized. That was my #1 takeaway from Aesthetics School.

When to Break Up with your MakeUp

expired makeup

All makeup has an expiration date do you know when your makeup expires? Make-up was made to be used for feeling better and enhancing your natural beauty. Cosmetic products do not last forever. All products have an expiration date. Using make-up after their expiration date can cause skin irritations and/or breakouts. It is important to stick to the expiration date. Some products have a picture of an open can which indicates expiration date after the make-up was opened (picture below).

 

Here are some suggestions on when it’s time to throw out your makeup products

  • Liquid Foundation 12 – 24 months
  • Cream Foundation  2 years
  • Concealer -6 months to 2 years (depends on type)
  • Powders & powder blush – 1- 2 years
  • Mascara  –3- 6 months

Hello My Name Is…

Hello Beautiful!

Mark Twain said: “The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.”

I’m Nancy Joseph, Your Personal Image Coach.

I’m committed to help you discover and develop your style and your self-confidence so you can have success and happiness in your life.

I am honored to meet you and it’s my pleasure to guide you and support you with your personal and professional goals.

Here’s what I want you to know ABOUT ME…
My birthday is July 29th, which happens to be National Lipstick Day.

It’s no coincidence that I’m a Professional Makeup Artist!

I grew up on the south side of Chicago and married my well-dressed high school sweetheart at the tender age of 19.
A year after we were married my mother-in-law said she was moving to Marco Island, Florida, and there was room on the U-Haul if we wanted to go. We had $2,000 and a waterbed, so we packed up and moved to Florida.

Today we have an empty nest in Naples, Florida, two fascinating daughters in their 20’s and my husband and I are celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary this year.

Once we get to know each other, you’ll see that I’m here to serve you with solutions to your struggles with beauty, fashion, business, marriage, motherhood and even menopause. I promise to be authentic and transparent.

I will tell you this… several years ago I was 70 pounds overweight, unhealthy, in a dead end job, and unhappy with my marriage. I was suffering from low self esteem.

I was inspired by a true story about beauty and self-confidence and I spent an entire year, discovering and developing my personal style, my purpose and my potential. As a result, I quit smoking, lost 50 pounds, gained self confidence, built a booming business and restored my marriage.

I strongly believe our self confidence is directly linked to our personal appearance and that is why I created the Fashionating Life Formula. A self-development, step by step program, teaching you how to build your personal style, your self-confidence and your bank account.

Here’s what I want to know ABOUT YOU…
