Makeup: You Get What You Pay For

I always hear women complain about how expensive makeup is. I honestly believe there is no way around paying a hefty dime for products and you truly get what you pay for! Ladies read the shelf life of those brands you find expensive. Start reading reviews and see if the hype behind some of the brands you love are worth it. I think of cosmetics as follows you have your luxury brands and you have your generic ones. Call my face couture because only luxury brands hold up well on this face. Luxury brands to me would be Chanel, Tom Ford, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent and so forth. Think about these brands on the runway and how many complexions you see. It's fair to say they've done their research and keep up with the high-end needs of fashion. They have longer wear, fashionable packaging and they always keep one camera ready. The buck with cosmetics doesn't stop there. Always and I do mean always assure you invest in the proper skincare regimen. This doesn't mean you typical soap & water. A good skincare regimen starts by determining your skin type:
Are you oily/dry/combination or normal skin?
Are you sensitive or easily irritated to products?
Are your issues fine lines and wrinkles or discoloration or acne blemishes and scar?
Do you suffer from redness, etc?
Once you discover the issues with your skin you would like to address. You'll come to know and love your complexion. Remember Cleanse, Moisture and Protect are the most daily essential followed by exfoliating every two weeks. We will get a bit more in depth about this on a future blog.
