TOP 5 CONCEALERS!!!

Hey Bella's! Today I am here to talk concealer....YES probably anyone's favorite makeup item ever! If anyone ever asked me which makeup item I would never be able to live without; hands down it's concealer. With concealer you can hide so many things: From dark circles, dark spots, redness, pimples to blemishes all over your face or body. This is the best creation ever and I totally own a lot of concealers because I have tired so many to finally find which ones didn't crease on my fine lines. Here I will show you guys my top 5 favorite concealers that works best for me and for my clients from low end to high end of course.

WINNER #5

MAYBELLINE FIT ME CONCEALER

Love love love this one! It has no oils and no waxes. Has a natural coverage that makes the skin looks flawless and fresh. Exclusive translucent base and lightweight pigments allow the skin to breath. Best of all fragrance-free with medium coverage. I use this one all the time to go to work or go shopping. It's easy on the go and I take it everywhere. It is super easy to apply and works magic. Very cheap for only $7.00. You can find the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer at your local drug stores.

WINNER #4

MAYBELLINE INSTANT AGE REWIND CONCEALER

Addicted! This one was even awarded the 2012 Gold Good Housekeeping seal in beauty & anti-aging! This formula has a micro-corrector applicator which makes formula appear smooth. Has haloxyl which reduces the look of puffiness, shadows and fades appearance of dark circles. Super easy to use and lasts a long time. The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer can be found also at your local drug stores for only $9.00.

WINNER #3

MAC PRO LONGWEAR CONCEALER

This is my holy grail concealer. This is the one I use when I want a more full coverage. It's super lightweight formula makes skin look natural matte and stay put for up to 15 hours. The only down side about this is the pump. It pumps up too much product which makes me a little upset! But I fix that problem by using it under my eyes and also use the rest of it to cover all my blemishes so I don't waste it what-so-ever! The Mac Pro Longwear concealer is only $19.00 and will last you a long time. You can find it at your local MAC Cosmetics store.

WINNER #4

KAT VON D LOCK-IT TATTOO CONCEALER

This is the super heavy duty, highly pigmented, water resistant concealer. This is best for people that have a lot of blemishes. I use it on my acne clients. This is a such a powerful concealer it covers tattoo like it's name. This formula is creamy and oil-free. The Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer can be found on your local Sephora store for only $25.00. Remember with this a little will come a long way!

WINNER #5

LAURA MERCIER SECRET CAMOUFLAGE

Two shades for perfection. You can color-customize the shades to address the skin tone you need. This is the favorite for any makeup artist to use on their clients. This formula completely covers dark circles, blemishes, scars, minor imperfections and discolorations. This is a full coverage formula that will last you up to 8 hours. Also oil-free containing aloe with chamomile extracts and skin-conditioning vitamins A, C, and E. For all skin types even sensitive ones. That is why this is the number one!

WHAT'S YOUR SKIN TYPE?

To all my Bella's that read my previous post of the top 5 foundations for oily skins and the top 5 foundations for dry skins; this will help you determine exactly what skin type you have. If you didn't read my previous posts please do and this current post will help you understand more about what type of skin you do have. Knowing your skin type will help in so many ways from buying the best moisturizes to the best foundations and concealers for your skin. For those of you  that are a little confused to what skin type you really do have this post will help you determine your skin type. Your skin type can change over time. Younger people are likely to have normal skin type then older people. Skin Types vary depending on the factors like: water content, oil (lipid) content, and sensitivity level. Water content helps with your skin's comfort and elasticity and oil content affects your skin's softness level.

There are 5 different skin types:

1. Oily Skin
2. Dry Skin
3. Combination Skin
4. Normal Skin
5. Sensitive skin

 Tips that will help your skin stay healthier no matter what skin type you have:

• Don't smoke (Of course!)
• Moisturize your skin (Day and night)
• Wash your skin thoroughly every day (Day and night)
• Never wear makeup to bed (This will clog up your pores!)
• Stay hydrated (Drink lots of water this will affect your skins comfort and elasticity!)
• Use sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays.
• Avoid direct sunlight and wear a hat and sunglasses. 

OILY SKIN TYPE

Oiliness on the skin can produce:

• Blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes
• Enlarged pores
• Dull or shiny, thick complexion

Having an oily skin can change from time to time during the weather change or time of year. Some things can cause you to have an oily skin such as:

• Stress
• Puberty
• The heat or humidity
• Touching your face with dirty hands frequently

Toning down your oily skin can be easy just follow these simple steps:

1. Wash your skin thoroughly every day (Twice a day- day and night)
2. Do not use a scrub! Use a more gentle cleanser (Scrubbing will make your skin worst)
3. Look for products that wont clog up your pores.
4. Do not pop, squeeze or pick on your pimples!
5. Carry blotting paper inside your bag. This will help you tone down the oils through out your day.

DRY SKIN TYPE 

Dry skin can produce:

• Flakiness
• Red patches or redness
• Shows more of the fine lines
• Pores appear more visible
• Rough or dull complection
• Has little elasticity due to lack of natural oils the skin produce 

When dry skin is exposed to anything that makes it worst the skin can peel, itch, crack, look irritated and even inflamed. Dry skin can be caused by:

• Aging
• Genetic
• Weather change (climate)
• UV radiation
• Long, hot showers
• Some cosmetics and cleansers
• Medication (anything new you are taking that you notice your skin too dry)

Things that will help you with your dry skin are:

1.  Use rich moisturizers after each bath (creams and ointments may be best)
2. Take less time on the shower
3. Use humidifier 
4. Leave the A/C on cooler settings
5. Do not scrub!
6. Use gentle cleansers

COMBINATION SKIN TYPES

Combination skin produces:

• Blackheads
• Blemishes
• Shiny skin
• Dilated pores

Combination skin types can be normal in some areas and oily or dry in other areas of the skin. The T-zone is the area that combination skin most appears. To help prevent some areas of the skin that are oilier or dryer you can take the steps to help you shown on the dry or oily skin types above.

NORMAL SKIN TYPES

Normal skin has:

• No sensitivity
• None of very few imperfections or blemishes
• Barely any pores
• A radiant complection

You are super lucky if you have this skin type. Although due to weather or climate changes you can get dryness or oiliness in some areas. Don't panic just follow the step to prevent or read about what causes these things to the skin above on the dry or oily skin types to help you.

SENSITIVE SKIN TYPES

Sensitive skin produces:

• Dryness
• Burning feeling
• Itching
• Redness
• Flakiness

Last but not least sensitive skin! If you have sensitive skin there is gotta be something you are doing differently that has caused this. If you find a cleaner that works for you stick to it because if you go jumping around on products you might lose money because you skin can only take so much. Find out what is triggering the sensitivity so you can avoid it. Usually having sensitive skin is in response to particular skin care products or cosmetics. Here is a quiz I found on real beauty website that you can play with to help you determine your skin type as well.



There you have it Bellas, determining your skin type is very important. You can prevent so many things that help you look radiant and healthier. If you use any products that you feel helps you best with your skin type please leave me a comment below so we can spread the word to others that have the same skin type as you do!

TOP 5 FOUNDATIONS FOR OILY SKIN!

Hello my lovely Bellas! I know, I know... I have been absent from updating or posting on my blog lately. I highly apologize. As some of you may already know I have just bought my apartment meaning remolding and a big move. My husband and I have remolded the whole place, we broke everything literally, only walls were still up LOL! Anyways also know I have just started school. Going to school for Paramedic Skin Care Specialist. From electrolysis, laser hair removal, facials, body wraps, photo-rejuvenation, microdermabrasion, to makeup and many more. I am super happy with my choise in this field and can not wait to start treating my clients.

Back to the post :). Well Bella's for those who have oily or combination skin, it can be very difficult to find the best foundation that does the trick. Some formulas have too much liquid and doesn't last you enough time and power foundations tend to clump up and clog your pores. Every foundation you pick up make sure you see if it says oily to combination skin. If it does not state that it's probably because the creator just wanted to have the customer buy it without knowing anyways so they can get the money :( . Most of the times foundations for oily skin or combination skin will tell you on the front and they range from affordable ones to pricey ones. Here is my top 5 list for foundations that are good for Bella's with oily or combination to oily skins:

WINNER #5:

REVLON COLORSTAY FOUNDATION

Not only this foundation has SPF 6 but it stays weightless and flawless for up to 16 hours. How amazing is that? This formula is oil-free which helps control shine all day and keeps your face with a natural skin. The Revlon Colorstay is a medium to full coverage and is super affordable at only $11.99. Find this foundation at your local drug stores.

WINNER #4:

No 7 BEAUTIFULLY MATTE FOUNDATION

This matte formula balances oil production and minimizes the appearance of blemishes. Shine-free stays on for up to 12 hours and keeps your skin on top condition. No 7 Beautifully Matte Foundation is a medium to full coverage and also affordable at only $13.99. Find this foundation at Target.

WINNER #3:

BENEFIT HELLO FLAWLESS FOUNDATION

Super hydrating, with the SPF 25 oil-free formula. Sits super natural on the skin with a lightweight feel and smooth formula. Keeps the skin bright with a healthy look. The Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation is a light to medium coverage with closer to a high-end price at $36.00. Find this at your local Ulta or Sephora store.

WINNER #4:

ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR FOUNDATION

Full package foundation! Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation is a oil-free formula contains antioxidants and is SPF 10. Long wearing coverage that stays in place and wont transfer. It gives full semi-matte coverage that stays put for 15 hours flawless all day. Skin looks fresh and looks natural through heat and humidity. Best of all it doesn't smudge off onto the clothes. By far the best complete foundation which is so worth the price at $37.00. Find this high-end product at your local Ulta, Sephora or Macy's.

WINNER #5:

LAURA MERCIER FOUNDATION

Containing silica to absorb excess oils leaving your skin even and smooth for a polished look. An innovative oil-free formula that gives skin the ultimate coverage, comfortable and wear for a flawless complexion. Non-drying and lightweight texture that glides on evenly and does not settle into fine lines. Minimizes the appearance of pores for that natural look. Laura Mercier Foundation is a high-end product for $45.00 which in my opinion is super worth if you want a medium to full coverage flawless look. Find this product at your local Sephora or Macy's store.
