The eyes may not literally be the windows to your soul as the adage suggests, but they’re certainly the part of your face everyone notices first. The secret to age-defying eyes? Always start with an eye shadow primer or a mineral concealer to smooth out the eyelids. Then line the eyes with a dark brown pencil or gel liner to widen them. For the top of the lids use neutral eye shadows — dark brown or gray on the outer corners of the eye, taupe in the crease, and a light shade on the lid. The final touch is to curl the eyelashes and apply black mascara. The overall effect makes the eyes look bigger and brighter.

Next to your eyes, your lips are the second most visible part of your face. You don’t want people to stare at them for the wrong reason. One thing mature women have to steer clear of is the heavily dark lipsticks, especially the browns and deep reds. That makes you look really old. Instead of going dark, use a nude lip liner and top it with a light colored lipstick or gloss.

The proof is in the pudding.

Knowing which complementing eye shadow colors are best for you and what shades will highlight your natural eye color will result in beautiful eyes that will get you noticed. Whether you have blue, green, brown or hazel eyes, we have the perfect color suggestions for you!

Are you a blue-eyed beauty? Go for earth tones such as copper, taupe, sable and burgundy. Shades of gray are also a good option.

If you’re a green-eyed goddess, use chocolate or burgundy, even certain shades of green.

Brown-eyed gal? Green, purple and blues are your go-to shades.

Have hazel eyes? Opt for purples. (Pro tip: If you use green shadow, it will bring out the brown in your eyes, whereas purple shadow will emphasize the green in your eyes).

Gold, silver and shimmery champagne shadows are flattering for all eye colors.

We thought we would share a  testimony of one of our customers. It always fun to hear what others are saying about the products and also introduce a new amazing moisturizer we are carrying.  This stuff rocks! Here are the ingredients:

All Amazing: All Pure: All Natural:

Aloe Vera 30% smoothes and softens skin.  Helps to lock in moisture,
reduce age spots and aid in cell regeneration.  Has little beneficial
effect however, unless added in significant amounts.  For this reason,
aloe vera ranks first in volume among our ingredients.

Emu oil: (18%) Other products made with emu oil actually carry just
1-10% of this amazing ingredient.  It's very similar to human skin oil
and hypoallergenic.  Emu oil carries the other nutrients deep into the
skin where they're most useful.  Rich in vitamins A, E and essential
fatty acids.

Matrixyl 3000:  (10%) Powerful combination of two peptides.  Stimulates
collagen and provides significant reduction in wrinkle depth and volume.

Dermaxyl: (10%) Bio-active lipid agent (ceramide 2) which increases the
water holding capacity of skin .  Keeps skin moist and plump.

Shea butter:  Evens out skin tone and improves elasticity.  Good source
of vitamins A, E and F.

Green tea extract:  Has 20 times the anti-oxidant effect of vitamin E
and well-documented benefits of sun protection.

Jojoba oil:  Helps to balance skin's natural oil production and prevent
breakouts.  Contains copper, zinc and complex vitamins. 

Virgin coconut oil:  Helps to repair skin damage and strengthen tissue.

Castor oil:  Reduces age spots, contains ricinoleic acid which inhibits
many viruses and bacteria (great for acne).  Increases circulation.

A Wonderful, moisturizing product. You will love this stuff.

I am sold on a moisturizer that delivers moisture to the face 

that doesn't feel dry and tight an hour after you apply it 

even in the driest of cold Minnesota winters. Also,natural

 products that have ingredients that are derived from plants,

 herbs etc...not man-made I re-order simply because of the

 fact that I haven't found anything else out there that 

compares to that level of moisturizing I've 

found in these products

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.

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.

Make it a Beautiful Day,
