30 Second Beauty Tip!

The concern: a visible foundation line along your jaw.

The solution: mix two parts sunscreen and one part foundation on the back of your hand. Apply by dabbing the mixture along your jawline and neck with clean hands, then proceed to rub the sunscreen/foundation in evenly. By mixing sunscreen in with your foundation and applying along your jaw and neck, you will fade the coverage from medium/full on your face to light coverage on your neck. Use this method to prevent unsightly makeup lines!

*Choose a sunscreen that best suits your needs as far as protection factor, skin type, ingredients, etc. An oil-free option that is meant specifically for face is always a must.

30 Second Beauty Tip!

The concern: clumpy mascara. Dun dun dun...

The solution: when you notice that your mascara is beginning to thicken and clump more frequently (we're talking problems on the first coat, let alone the second), run your mascara wand under warm water. The warm water will rinse the buildup of mascara from your wand. Once you've cleaned your wand, dry it and take it for another spin in your mascara tube - the resulting application will likely be less goopy and less likely to clump!

Also, resist the urge to "pump" your mascara wand when trying to accumulate more product - pumping actually contributes to your mascara gooping up and drying out quicker than it should!

Here's to lovely lashes, Love!
