In my 25 years of being a makeup artist and consultant, I have found that the majority of women have very dry skin, which has only made them look older and fatigued.

By using a simple skin care regimen, with the proper products for dry skin, the skin has more of a fresh healthy glow.

Simple Skin Care Regimen

A.M.

• Wash face with papaya cleanser
• Tone with papaya toner
• 1-2 times a week exfoliate with papaya exfoliating scrub
  (I like to leave the tube in the shower and use it on wet skin)
  You will LOVE the feel of your skin.
• Apply Vita Firm Serum
• Apply Moisturizer (either hydrating cream or retexturecreme or both).

P.M.

• Follow same routine as morning,
• Add Eye Cream. (applied very gently around the outer area of the eye).

Roses Makeup Tips

When the skin is radiant and clean, makeup is much easier to apply and look fresh.

Five minute makeover - clean face, apply chosen foundation, blush and lipstick and out you go!!

To enhance makeup for evening, apply eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara!...if necessary, refresh lips and blush.

Makeup brushes are a wise investment, as they last an extremely long time and definitely make makeup easier to apply.

EYESHADOW TIPS:

To achieve a smoky eye, apply neutral shadow all over the lid. Then take a smoky gray or brown and do outer corners of eyes, blended. add an eyeliner, which must be blended with a small brush, mascara and off you go!

BLUSH:

Depending on the shape of the face, blush should be applied in the round giving the face and cheeks a healthy glow like that of a child, very youthful and fresh.

LIPSTICK and GLOSS:

Any color that makes you look in the mirror and say I LIKE THAT!

FOUNDATION:

Very important product to match the skin and appear very natural.

The more natural application, the fresher the skin!
