Why do I need to do the three “E” everyday

What is the 3 “E”………Eyebrow,Eyeliner,Eyelashes

If you only had 15 min to put makeup on do these three things and you will be set for the day!

Fill in your EYEBROWS because it opens/frames the eyes. The products I love is Laura Geller Brow Marker, it features a tri-tip applicator so you  get nautral looking brows. It really clings to the hair and skin and does not budge, you can order from QVC.com The next thing is EYELINER because it opens up the eye and makes the whites brighter especially when you wear cobalt blue . Last but not least is EYELASHES the finishing touch to the three E’s. Lashes make such a difference in your makeup,if you have trouble with mascara not giving you the fullness you need pop on some false eyelashes…Ardel whispies are the BEST! Go check out Laura Geller you will be impressed.

Senior Portrait Ideas… Pt. 1

ImageIts that time of the year SENIORS to thinking about your senior portraits. So much to consider, what location,outfits etc.. Regardless of location you want,local field, park or even indoor session there are lots of wardrobe options to think about.

Take note from this Pantone chart that designers use when planning  their Spring/Summer collections. When choosing a bright color pair it with white or other neuttrals. Some of the other stronger colors like “Tangerine Tango or Cabaret would be great accent colors for your accessories,shoes and jewelry.

Remember don’t be afraid that you can’t pull something off the only limits are the ones you place on yourself. So go get inspired!!

 

Slimming Ideas

Untitled Tip # 1… Wear nude or skin toned shoes. Why you ask? Your eye stops when there are color breaks. When wearing nude shoes this prevents this so your eye keeps going which elongates your leg. Wear heels they make your legs appear longer and toned.

SHORTS

Well girls its short season and here are a few tips on lengths that are right for you!

3 inch length really lengthen the leg,so keep in mind if you have short or long legs.

5 inch length  are long enough to cover upper thighs but still really lengthen the leg.

7 inch length is great for everyone and appropriate for 50+ and teens.

10 inch length is best for long legs. This length is great for some work

environments. If you have short legs,either wear a wedge heel or avoid all together.

My favorite is the 7 inch since I am short 🙂  J Crew is a great place to start looking

they have a great selection for all sizes and shapes.

Basic to Bombshell: The 80/20 Wardrobe

The Pareto Principle, otherwise known as the “80/20” rule holds that in most areas of life, it can also be applied to OUR wardrobes. In truth, most people only wear 20% of their clothing. The other 80% is simply over crowding our closets and taking valuable space,which leads us to a full closet and saying “I have nothing to wear!”

Here is a trick I like to teach my clients who are still having a hard time letting go of some items after we have gone through and done a “Closet Audit”:

The Hanger Trick
Go into your closet and turn all of your hangers around so that the hook faces OUTWARD instead of inward. Each time you wear an item of clothing and hang it up again, put the hanger back in your closet the “normal way” (hook facing inward). Over time, you will end up with a mixture of inward facing and outward facing hangers,much like the image you see. You will see which items you love and wear, and which pieces aren’t.

Go turn your hangers around and let me know how it goes!

Here are my favorite hangers to work with:
