Will it EVER quit snowing?  One day soon, I’m sure but until then, I must keep “thinking spring”.  It  puts me in the mind of perfumes that waft through the air,  going for a walk  outdoors and  going “natural” with my makeup!

This spring that’s the hottest trend in cosmetics.…the “natural” look.  Getting a “natural” look doesn’t mean going w/o makeup.  Au contraire!  It takes a bit of “work” to look great “naturally”.

So, how do you wear makeup for a fresh “natural” look?  The key is in the preparation of your skin. Your skin is just like an artist’s canvass.  Start with a great MRP Program (Maintenance-Repair-Protect).

• Maintain your skin daily by cleansing, toning and properly moisturizing
• Repair damaged skin at night by using alpha-hydroxy and poly-hydroxy acids and retinol based products and always
• Protect it during the day from sun exposure and extra oxidation.

Using the latest in mineral makeup is step two.   Mineral makeup has been all the rage for several years now and  comes in a variety of colors.  Because it contains natural ingredients, everyone can use it.  Even those with sensitive skin have found it to give them a great look.  When products do not have added oils, it keeps the pores smooth and open.

Colors this spring range from light pinks to soft corals.  Beautiful cheeks, eyes, lips, and nails can be yours come spring.  So regardless of whether you have cool or warm undertones, there is Great Color for you.
