Makeup Essentials to Prep for Spring

While a warm season on the horizon is a cause for celebration and a bright, new look, it’s also accompanied by some concerns. Most importantly, protecting ourselves from the sun’s rays, as well as keeping makeup in its place, no matter the temperature. To do this requires dependable products and developing, nurturing, and exercising some common sense skin-protection habits.  Tinted Moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF Of course, one of the most important safety concerns as we approach a sunnier season is protecting ourselves from the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. Overexposure to the sun without proper protection can not only result in sunburns but can also have long-term implications as well, such as general premature aging of the skin. Fortunately, it’s easier now than ever to protect your skin from the sun’s rays—and look good while doing it. Instead of putting on individual layers of foundation and sunscreen, use a product that covers all of the bases: a tinted moistu

Looking Great While Staying Safe: How to Find Makeup That Protects You

There’s a lot to be said for looking great. Probably the most important thing to be said about it is that when you know that you look great, you tend to feel great. Whatever looking great entails for you—from achieving the “no makeup” makeup look to rocking a bold eye or lip—feeling good about how you look is a confidence-enhancer. As terrific as looking great is though, remaining healthy is considerably more critical. Thankfully, those two priorities don’t have to be mutually exclusive. More and more brands are recognizing the importance of providing cosmetics that do more than high light beauty. They’ve done so by incorporating ingredients into their formulas that ensures their makeup is doing double-duty as a product that also promotes skin protection and preservation. Perhaps as importantly, brands have also achieved this by subtracting or being careful not to use ingredients that can be harmful or irritating to skin. Because of the actions of caring brands that

Time constraints are the bane of most peoples’ modern experience. It seems like there’s always less time to do more. That’s particularly true in the mornings and evenings—the traditional preparation times. Accompanying the work/life balance are the sleep/get ready for work balance and the get home from work/prepare for your evening balance. For so many of us, it’s those prep-time bottlenecks that can be the most stressful parts of the day. Those bottlenecks can squeeze even tighter when the window you have requires a time-consuming makeup regimen. And it’s not a process that can necessarily be rushed without some… appearance consequences. Thankfully, there are some quick makeup tips and products you can use to de-stress the morning before-work crunch, and evening after-work going out prep. Use Tubing Mascara Water-resistant tubing mascara is becoming increasingly (and appropriately) popular as a convenient, non-smudging alternative to waterproof mascara that wor

Stunning Lashes with Sensitive Eyes: It’s Entirely Doable

There are countless, frustrating ways in which seemingly minor characteristics and conditions can create limitations that the market simply (and often surprisingly) doesn’t recognize. Anyone who has never encountered a brand they really like but that doesn’t accommodate their skin tone, complexion, etc. is lucky indeed. Among these characteristics and conditions are sensitive skin and eyes. And in many cases, qualifying skin and eye sensitivity as “minor” is a major misnomer. Reactions to harmful synthetic chemicals or components that act as irritants range from low-level discomfort and swelling to more significant side effects. That’s why it’s so gratifying to find out there actually are brands out there for women who’d at least like the option of being able to use eyeliner, mascara, or fake eyelashes without discomfort—and without having to worry about what’s in the products. If you have sensitive skin or eyes and have ever had to deal with irritating eye makeup,

Here are a few tips that can help: It Starts with Your Skin Having makeup that lasts all day starts with prepping your skin and creating a healthy base to build from. You essentially want a canvas for your makeup, and clean, happy, healthy skin is an ideal place to start.
