Photoshoot Of The Week: Day 3

We had another early morning start to finish off the Spring/Summer 2012 collection. I was sad that it was coming to an end.. Once again makeup was kept uniform with only some tweeks in lip and cheek colour. The face again, doll like and very porcelain. The lips went from burnt brown/peach to tangerine through the shoot. Hair was the biggest change.. A very high voluminous bun that was kept very slick, feminine, elegant and elongated the already extremely tall models! 

Here are the raw photos I clicked today...

Foundation Series: Dry/Mature Skin

With so many options available, which is the best foundation for dry/sensitive/mature skin? I’ve found a few excellent foundations over the years. These formulas fit the bill with beneficial ingredients that will moisturize your skin all day. There is a mixture of light, medium and full coverage to suit different needs. Seek out foundations with natural oils and humectants (moisturizers) imbedded within the formula when choosing. It’s also best to choose a cream, liquid or gel foundation, since powders can dry the skin even more. One important thing to note is steer clear of mineral oil. It will clog your pores, and your skin will not be able to release toxins. It really is the worst ingredient so make sure to look out for it! 

Here are my favourite foundations that have been tried and tested;

Foundation Series: Oily and/or Acne Prone Skin

For all you oily skin/acne prone girls out there your first and most important step is:  a good skin care routine that you follow religiously! You cannot fix a problem by masking it, so if you have acne get it sorted. If you have pimples, its probably because you skin is being irritated by the chemicals you are putting on your face. Become more aware and start reading labels and know what your putting on your face.
