| Skin Care Cosmetics: WOODLAND HAZE for gentle shading. |
|
| Less is Younger ~~ Keep it Natural

Skin that is losing firmness needs less makeup, not more. Makeup tends to slide into and accentuate even tiny facial furrows. Mineral powders applied with a light hand reflect light and minimize wrinkles and sagging.
An often overlooked color that is wonderful for creating natural contours is Woodland Haze. A lighter shade of beige with a hint of dusty pink creates cheekbone highlights when dusted along the top of the cheeks bones. Swiffer it into the hollows of your cheeks (Suck in your cheeks and then dust lightly into the indented areas, tapering up to the hairline.) for a slimming effect.

HOLIDAY OVEREATING SURVIVAL TIPS
Holidays are the number one overeating season. Just the abundance of snacks, parties, and food gifts would be enough to add extra pounds, but for many, holidays also means stress. Whether brought on by fears or joys, stress triggers coping mechanisms and very often food is how we comfort ourselves. Remembering that it isn't really about the food, but about the circumstances that cause you to eat more than you should, will help you learn to find peace of mind in other ways. Here are a few strategies for making the holidays more enjoyable and peaceful.
