What I love most about myself: My complexion.
Why: I've been lucky to have good skin most of my life and I'm very grateful for it. I don't feel like I have to wear makeup everyday (though I like to on most because it's fun).
How do you enhance it: I do a weekly enzyme peel. I love the Arcona Raspberry Resurfacing Peel. It's not cheap ($84), but a little goes a long way and it lasts me 8 months. I really feel and see a difference in my complexion when I use it.
34 RepliesI really like that I have good skin all over - I learned to take skin care seriuosly when a teenager with oily skin fighting breakouts - and over the years my skin routine has eveolved to take care of my ever-changing skin - which is now normal to dry! I use a battery of lotions for different conditions of the skin - and carry hand cream everywhere!
What I love most about myself is my smile! I feel it's one of my best features. A smile not only makes your day go well but it can be so infectious it can make other peoples day go well too. I'm blessed to have great teeth so smiling for me comes easy. My goal is to help others achieve a beautiful smile as well. I'm currently in school to attain a degree in Dentistry. I believe a smile can go a long way. Smiling can help everyone feel good about themselves.
The ways I achieve a bright smile is simply by eating healthy foods, I don't smoke, I brush at least 3 times a day using regular toothpaste. Whitening gels can be used once in a while. I try to stay away from them though. The best way to acheive whiter teeth is simply brushing regularly and watching what you eat. Another way I achieve a great smile is by applying sheer pinks, fuschia and red lip gloss to my lips. This also helps my teeth to pop more! And last but not least I make sure to get in plenty of laughter by being silly or just hanging out with fun people. Smiling is good for the soul :)
What I love most about myself: My legs.
Why: I always get complimented on my legs (by both men and women.) I love that they are smooth, shapely and strong...definitely my best attribute!
How I enhance them: I use Olay Quench lotion daily on my legs. It keeps my legs moisturized and my skin looking it's very best...silky and smooth.
I love my eyes. My best feature told to me by almost everyone I meet.
The color reminds me of the mediterranean sea, which is a beautiful blue, so I feel blessed to have such a beautiful feature. I can wear makeup or not wear makeup and I still feel like my eyes are striking.
I enhance them with different shades of blue liner, crisp blues and greens for shadow and deep black mascara really make them pop! Love experimenting with makeup on my eyes.
The beauty attribute I adore about myself is my super sexy lips. I adore my lips because they fit and balance out my face just right. I also like the fullness and the way they seem to pout on their own w/o any force. They are kissable and I get complimemts about them all the time. My favorite beauty product is Ruby Kisses Hydrating Lip Oil. It allows me to keep my lips well hydrated and works well as a lipgloss to give me that full sensual pout. Plus it tastes good ....or so i'm told lol
Just a close up of the lips....
I have always been told my cheek bones were my best feature to enhance them I use Stream Cosmetics Airbrush System
What I love most about myself: My soft skin. I have a beautfil deep brown complexion and I absolutely love the feel of my soft skin; my legs especially!
Why: As a product creator, it's always been important to me that a woman have soft skin. I'm not talking scar free, no stretch-mark never fell off a bike skin! I'm talking about soft, supple smooth skin no matter what. You see, skin is such a funny thing to please and once you find out what your skin likes it becomes addicting to try and find the right products to best fill the need (or maybe that's just my vice
).
How I enhance it: Well, firstly I cleanse with only all natural Shea butter soap. I use the natural stuff because my lovely soft skin is also extremely dry and chemicals don't aid in long-lasting moisture. I also exfoliate regularly, like twice a week or so. I like to use either and exfoliating soap bar when I'm in a rush. Or a the Calming Breakfast Whipped Foaming Sugar Scrub. I love the
soap because it has a light lather and really scrubs the skin. The scrub is made with whole oats and smells just like an amazing bowl of cinnamon, brown sugar and honey oatmeal with a twinge of toasted almond, and it feeds moisture to my otherwise desert dry skin! The 17 oz size is only 33 bucks and lasts a whole month so it's perfect for most budgets. not to mention, it rinses clean so theres no slippery tub to wash after I use it!
I love my complextion,I have really good skin and I hardly have any pimples. I never use soap on my face, just Dove or philsderm with warm water, never a wash rag either, I use my hands and then damp dry with a clean towel. I also eat plenty of garlic, in my diet-I'm Italian so my mom uses it all the time. i also stay away from soda, I drink lots of water. The best part is I'm proud to be 56yrs old but don't look like I am. I get ask all the time on what i use on my face and my age.
My eyes are green /blue with long lashes and a good feature. I like that I can really play them up with makeup. I use mostly MAC products on them like paint pots and fluidline liner and curl my lashes.
What I love most about myself is my profession, (Makeup Artist),with the ability to "Morph" myself and others as often as I like. There are so many great products and tools to choose from these days, that I can change anyones look ....whether it be monthly, weekly or daily, there's always a new look to try!
