Beauty Routine Application

Posted by Allykat on March 11th, 2009

Do you apply eye shadow or foundation first? I apply my eye makeup first because then if I mess up, I can wipe away the eye makeup and not mess up my foundation.

Applying my eye makeup first also lets my sunscreen dry. Remember to let your sunscreen dry for 10 to 30 minutes before applying foundation. You want the sunscreen to work at its’ best, and all sunscreens are formulated in a certain way. Applying foundation or moisturizer right after sunscreen can disrupt the film former of the sunscreen.

So an everyday skincare beauty routine looks like this:

1. Wash face

2. Apply moisturizer

3. Wait until moisturizer dries

4. Apply 1/4 teaspoon of sunscreen to face and 1/4 teaspoon to neck

5. Wait about 15 minutes

6. Apply makeup

Your Mom’s Skincare?

Posted by Allykat on February 20th, 2009

What does your Mom and Grandma use on her skin for skincare? My Mom always went by the statement less is more. She uses Clinque moisturizer and makeup remover. She does not use water, just the makeup remover, because water has high pH and can be harsh on your skin. I cannot imagine not using water to wash my face at night, but she gets away with it, her skin is pretty much flawless.

She does use sunscreen sometimes, but not too big on it. She has been a sun tanner her whole life and still is. And yet she still looks really young for her age too!

I do not remember what my Grandma wore. I know she always liked solid perfumes though, which I always thought were so beautifully unique.

Did your Mom or Grandma pass down any beauty secret tips to you? I know they did not worry about aging as much as we do now. Everybody ages and worrying about it makes you more wrinkly.
