WOMEN AT WORK, WOMEN IN CHARGE & WOMEN BEAUTIFUL

We live in a fast paced and continually developing world. Contrary to the past women are taking charge of their careers and proving that they are just as valuable as an employee as their counterparts.  According to the United States Department of Labor, “Women are projected to account for 51.2 percent of the increase in total labor force growth between 2008 and 2018.” Another statistic provided by this organization states, “66 million women were employed in the U.S.—74 percent of employed women worked on full-time jobs, while 26 percent worked on a part-time basis.” When you take these figures into consideration you begin to ponder how we manage to work, maintain our family life and take care of ourselves physically and emotionally. Simply put, there just isn’t enough time in the day!!  Anything we can do to make our lives easier and more manageable, we will welcome with open arms.

Good news--There is something you can do to help alleviate some of the stress you may face while at work ultimately making life a little bit easier all the way around. You can feel confident knowing that you will never be caught off guard at work when it comes to your make up.

SAY GOOD-BYE TO SUMMER BUT NOT YOUR SUN KISSED GLOW

September 21, 2010 was the official last day of summer. But, that doesn’t mean that you cannot keep that beautiful summer glow all year round. There are numerous products available to help you achieve or keep that golden, bronzed look that so many of us love. You can use a self tanner or bronzer to make your skin glow without having to damage your skin with the use of a tanning bed or exposing yourself to harmful UV rays.

Below are some tips to help you achieve various degrees of “natural tan” for a variety of skin tones. Read on to discover which hue best fits you!!

Lightly Sun Kissed

A naturally sun kissed look can be achieved year-round by applying bronzer to places where the sun would hit your face. Mix equal parts moisturizing bronzing lotion with foundation for a sheer, all-over glow that warms up your complexion, or apply it (over liquid foundation) to the high parts of the face. Be sure to avoid mixing wet bronzing formulas with powder foundation or blush.

Sun-Kissed Makeup: Complement a lightly sun-kissed glow with warm pink shades and dewy golden glosses. You will also find that using colored mascara will also help to bring out your eyes.

Golden Glow

For an all-over golden tone that’s perfect for an exotic vacation, try a sheer bronzer that’s a few shades deeper than your skin tone. Blend to perfection. With a fluffy brush, apply pressed powder bronzer where the sun would naturally hit your face. In a sweeping motion that mimics the number three, brush on color to the outer part of each side of the face. Are you in the mood for a loose powder? Swirl your brush over the top of a pressed powder until it loosens then spill the dust into the palm of your hand. Apply as usual.

Golden Glow Makeup: A golden glow looks fetching when paired with shades of peach, gold, coral and sea blue.

Goddess Bronze

A deep, Barbie-perfect tan brings out the color of your eyes and complements highlights in your hair.  This island look is best achieved with deep bronzing products—stay out of the sun! Mix equal parts foundation and bronzer (liquid, foam or gel) for an all-over glow or use these formulas to tan the highpoints of the face: bridge of the nose, temples and cheekbones. Before leaving the house, don’t forget to check your jaw line for tell-tale lines of demarcation.  For best blending, do not mix with powder blush or foundation.

Goddess Bronze makeup: Accent a goddess bronze tan with metallic bronze shadow, bright and juicy lip glosses in shades of pimento red and tangerine. Use highlighters sparingly.
