Youthful Healthy Make Up For a Great Look!



If you want to look great, healthy make up is the best way to go. Women in general tend to over wear make up. We’d all look better if we could get back to basics. Make up shouldn't clog pores. It should protect your skin and enhance your skin tone. It shouldn't make you break out. It should create harmony in the way you look.



Chemicals in make up can irritate the skin and cause disruption's. If you have sensitive skin, you can opt for products that are specially formulated for sensitive skin. You don’t need a lot of make up to look great though. Just the basics will do. Foundation is one thing I never leave home without. You just never know who you might run into:o) If you always have on healthy make up though, you'll always look great!

Foundations make or break your look. If you don't have the right foundation, the rest of your make up won't look right! It need not be visible. Yet rather it should realistically be invisible to the rest of the world. It should make you look eloquent and natural, not fake and weird.

Any make up you use should blend into your natural skin tone and be virtually impossible to detect. It shouldn’t look like you’re wearing make up at all. Healthy make up and healthy skin are essential. Any make up that cakes or looks heavy on your face is not your friend! Healthy make up is a basic step for a great look! A youthful, healthy complexion starts from the inside out.

Get the essential vitamin supplements your skin requires, eat nutritious foods, and drink lots of clean, pure water to help flush toxins out of your body.

If you take the right vitamins, eat the right foods and plenty of drink water, your skin will look hydrated, healthy, and more radiant too. It's also better to underdo make up than over do it. Make up should compliment your face, not overwhelm it. That's what makes healthy make up so great!

Steps to a Healthy Glow with Healthy Makeup



  • Clean your face first. Your face needs to be clean and fresh before any application. Wash your face first, then use an astringent to remove dead skin cells and to contract and close pores.

  • Always apply a good facial lotion for daily skin care. Use products like Olay Total Effects Moisturizing Vitamin Complex for everyday wear. It's a great moisturizer for all skin types. Use this as your base lotion then apply a serum over it. Serum's really make foundation application a lot easier, whether you use creams, liquids, or minerals! Olay Regenerist is a good comparable serum to use at a lower cost than other brands. It really helps your makeup just glide right on.

    For those of you who can afford more expensive serum's, Estee Lauder Idealist is heavenly! and works extremely well. Its got a great lemony fresh smell! (There is just something about it.) However, it's also got a fairly high price tag for initial purchase, but it does last a long time if you can afford to pay it forward. If you can't afford it, you can still get great results with Olay Regenerist Serum. It feels just as smooth and clean and you'll love how it works!

  • Apply a chemical free or mineral foundation. Then apply a blush or bronzer to your cheek bones. Add a bit of lipgloss or an earthy lipstick and you will have a healthy glow! You just don't need a lot of makeup to look natural and fresh!

    If you really want to go 100% natural, try organic beauty products. Organics are the latest trend for people who want to go green, and be more environmentally friendly. Organic makeup is really the cream of the crop in healthy make up!

  • For a natural look, use eyeshadow colors that blend well with your complexion too! If you don't wear shadows, you ought to try them! Of course, different colors look different on everyone, so you should know what colors look best for your skin tone.

    The best way to have healthy skin is to wear healthy makeup that's made from minerals. Most women have tried quite a few versions by now. Favorites are Sheer Cover, Jane Mineral Be Pure Makeup, and Urban Decay Surreal Skin Mineral Make-Up. I've also heard good things about Almay Mineral Makeup Powder, Cover Girl Trublend Micromineral Foundation, and Alison Raffaele Mineral Powder Foundation.

    Most middle aged women started out using Sheer Cover minerals by Guthy Renker years ago. Then Bare Minerals made the scene when they released their own version. In the past few years, there has been a flood of every manufacturer getting in on them.

    L’Oreal just came out with their version called Bare Naturale's which works OK but not great. (IMHO) Also Physician's Formula has their own version, (which I like better), and recently I saw another version called Airbrush Cosmetics by Diversified Distributions. If you want a movie star look, you've got to try airbrushing! The downside is that you have to buy their liquid minerals and airbrush tool to use them.

    All mineral makeup is made from natural ingredients that are good for your skin and won't clog pores, but ultimately the choice is up to you. If you have a favorite brand, stick with it and you'll be disappointed less often and save your money. No woman likes to throw money away on makeup that sucks. Mineral make up works well and saves a ton of time when you get ready for your day.

    Some of them are more expensive to buy initially, but are an exceptional product. As a general rule, you get what you pay for and quality is sometimes much more important than quantity. This is especially true if you have sensitive skin and want a brand name you can trust. Most quality products also last a good long time!

    Many women love Sheer Cover for good reason. They have a great product and were the frontiers in utilizing minerals. Sheer Cover is silkier than other brands and just seems to glide on your skin.

    Their product is healthy make up at it’s finest. If you can’t afford it, then try a different less expensive brand. You will be doing yourself a big favor by using healthy make up for a more natural look. You’ll look great and so will your skin!
