I have been reading the data about this new skin care product my company is retailing.  I ordered it.  When it arrived I cleansed my skin, put my toner on, applied it and I thought I saw practically instant change on my face and on my hands (believe me; I have a long way to go with my hands!)

Matriskin, a skin changer!

Matriskin, a skin changer!

It is called Matriskin and it is a glass bottle, a deep penetrating, and light viscosity silky smooth product..  It seems to be absorbed quite rapidly without an oily look.  To some degree it tightens and firms on application or within a few minutes, but what is most exciting is how it has been proven to change the skin over time.  As usual, I will be my own Guinea Pig and will let you know.

I want to highlight what is most exciting about this product; it is considered safe for Rosacea sufferers and dramatically reduces acne in 3 days.  At $150.00 per ounce, I am expecting great things!  I love the ingredients listed in this product and I am looking forward to seeing a difference over time.

If you want to look over the product, here is the link for Matriskin.  I would love for you to tell me what you think.  If you choose to test it with me, I will send you a free gift in exchange for your testimony but, I want you to allow me to coach you on how you are caring for your skin.  Please contact me privately along with a current picture and your skin regime.  Cheers, to looking younger!

Most trends can be added to your day look like a smokey eye. It is interesting to watch someone apply cosmetics, but if you are 50 and trying to imitate the application being performed on a 20 year old, there are several big problems with this scenario.

First, the age related issues. The colors applied may be too shimmery or too dark for you enhancing fine lines and wrinkles. Second, you are not taking into account your face shape, eye shape, bone structure, and lip shape.

You need good solid information and basic help understanding how to approach application for you. Everyone is unique to some degree and with make-up, size matters!

So don’t fall victim to the secrets of the stars, you need to unveil the secrets of you. Learn to work with brushes and matte colors, then add a little pizazz in the evening! So read my tips and blog, my e-books, I actually do respond to anyone who has ordered an e-book and will via e-mail help you tailor your application if you send me a couple of face shots. Just say ‘no’ to the $20.00 hooker look! I will help you craft an elegant beautiful you!

And what I mean by crêpey is when you see the skin lack the elasticity it used to have. You know, when it begins to move with your eyeliner pencil or doesn’t quite snap right back.200020812-001drinking women

It really comes down to my suggestions for learning how to apply make-up naturally.

Let’s start with no shimmers.  Look for matte eye shadow.  It seems to me that women start to give up and stop wearing eye shadow.   Then they just become lazy.  I know you got tired of flushing your money down the toilet, buying color that wasn’t right and then dumping it. This is why it is nice to visit a make-up artist.  Although it can be expensive initially, I am convinced you will save money in the long term, get some fresh ideas and you will know what to invest in, something you will use.

Once again, even though I was raised to, I don’t make-up every day of my life!  I have a life, therefore I don’t feel the need to create one through a stunning daily make-up application.  Now there are always exceptions to this rule.  If you are working everyday out where you are meeting and seeing others, this is really a very important time to wear make-up, but lighten it up on the weekends, say, foundation, mascara, blush, gloss and eyebrows (should yours be as scantily thin as mine).  Sometimes, I will use a sunblock and skip the foundation, hey, why not?  My skin looks beautiful, I have used great skin care products and it shows.

So that is the first step to mature skin application, pay attention to the changes with the eyes.   We will continue to discuss this subject further. But for now, I have to get back to my day job!
