Tricks to Looking Younger

Curling eyelashes makes you look younger, causes your eyes to pop, and look more alert.

We just finished a photo shoot and most everyone needed their eyelashes curled. The difference was amazing. Just the simple act of curling your lashes will draw your eyelashes
upward. They will appear longer and your eyes will look more open. These two effects result in a younger looking you! As we age, our features begin to lose that freshness; eyes tend
to droop a bit more and lashes are less then luscious. Using the right makeup to your advantage, and knowing the right tools to use can help fool the eye and cheat some years off
your face. In just a few seconds your eyes can go from dull to lively with just the squeeze of a lash curler.

Technique

Always curl lashes before primer and mascara are applied; otherwise you take a risk of breaking off your eyelashes.

For maximum effect you want to get as close to the base as possible without pinching your skin.Clasp down lightly at first to make sure you are where you need to be with the curler. Then firmly hold for a full five seconds. Your goal is to create a beautiful curve, not an L shape kink, so you will need to experiment with the lash curler to achieve optimum results. Be sure to release the eyelashes fully before pulling it away from your eye.

It’s important to clean the curler every so often so bacteria is not collecting on it day after day and going into your eye. Just a cotton swab with a bit of witch hazel will do the trick, or a quick rinse in soapy water. Make sure to leave it out to dry in an open position so you don’t get it rusted.

How to Create the Perfect Cat Eyeliner

Here’s how to do it in three super simple steps.

1. Put concealer on to your eyelids which makes your eyeshadow adheres

2. Black liquid liner—sweep the liner all the way from the inner corner of the upper eyelid to the outer
corner as close to the lash line as possible, staring with a thin line and going thicker as you move along.

3. Create a little “wing” at the outer corner of the eye, drawing the line up and out. Repeat until you get the desired effect. Let dry, curl your lashes and apply several coats of black mascara.

And here’s a tip: Make sure to keep the rest of your makeup neutral to avoid looking overdone.

Why Facial Toners are a Must!

Using an all natural toner is a must for the appearance and health of your skin. It is much more then a skin conditioner. It is a vital component for your skin care regime. There are actually four basic reasons why we use toner on our skin.

Toners deeply clean our pores and remove all the impurities on our skin. In addition, they re-balance our skin to the proper ph which is of utmost importance. Furthermore, facial toners bring hydration and moisture content to our skin. Last but not least, is the assistance it gives for penetration of other treatments and moisturizers.

A nutrient toner deeply cleans our pores and removes all the impurities associated with day to day living. Removing the last traces of make up is vital for beautiful, younger looking skin. It also helps to remove dead skin cells, which cause our face to look dull and rough. If the debris is not removed, you are only forcing it deeper into your pores as you apply your facial treatments and moisturizers on top, trapping the debris that can cause bumps, blackheads, enlarged pores, and rough texture. We’ve heard that we can close our pores, but that is a myth. Pores cannot be closed, but they can appear smaller with proper cleansing, toning, etc…If you have congested pores, give a toner a try. Stay away from alcohol based toners as they will cause more damage to your skin then benefits. Stay with a nutrient rich toner the will aid in the healing and beauty of your skin. Give toner a try and see the difference in the appearance of your pores.

The toner we carry at Nature’s Genesis is alcohol free and contains nurturing plant extracts to maintain healthy balance within the skin. MSM is one of the top ingredients in our toner, which is necessary for the production of collagen. The 100% all natural ingredients are non-drying because they are formulated with the finest botanical extracts. In fact our toner adds moisture rather than taking it out.

How to Apply Concealer

HI Ladies,

All Natural Mineral Concealer

For those looking for the perfect concealer to cover those annoying problem areas, such as the dark circles under the eye, keep reading for a great tip!

Using the proper color of concealer and having the right placement is vital to achieving the right look, and hopefully do away with those dark spots. Women with caucasian coloring need a concealer that is no more than one shade lighter than the rest of their face. It should also have a hue of either salmon, melon, and/or pink to counteract the dark circles, which most of us have on those oh so tired days.

Interestingly, most ladies get the placement of concealer totally wrong. More times than not, concealer is not needed on the outer third of the eye. When concealer is applied there it will only enhance the crow’s feet which most of us do not want highlighted! Only apply concealer wherever there is darkness.

Here is the best rule of thumb. Think of the shape of a comma. Apply from the inner corner of the eye and extend the concealer to where you can feel your ocular bone. If you follow this tip, you will have the perfect look!

MSM has a significance, because sulfur compounds are found everywhere throughout the body and MSM is the 3rd largest ingredient found in the human body.

MSM is a natural form of organic sulfonyl sulfur compound that is found in the fluid of all living organisms. It is present in a variety of foods, including most fresh raw fruits and green vegetables, milk, meat, seafood, and some grains. It is also found in many common beverages such as milk, coffee and tea.  It is, in essence, a pure white, odorless, essentially tasteless, water-soluble crystalline solid sulfur powder.

MSM makes cell walls permeable, allowing water and nutrients to freely flow into cells and allowing wastes and toxins to properly flow out.   The body uses MSM along with Vitamin C to create new, healthy cells, and MSM provides the flexible bond between the cells. Without proper levels of MSM, our bodies are unable to build good healthy cells, and this leads to problems such as lost flexibility, scar tissue, wrinkles, varicose veins,  and dry cracking skin.
