Blush Video Tutorial + 5 Application Tips

Chris Scott of MakeupGourmet takes us through the most natural way to apply blush for mature skin. Nina, 54, has been prepped with Formula 15 and Face Finishing Moisturizer. 

1. Blushing is natural and should look it. Remember,  blush is meant to mimic the effect of blood rushing to the skin.

2. Apply to the “heart of the face”. To find your “heart” smile and see where your cheeks naturally round.

3. Include the cheek bone for a blended, natural blush.

4. Go for a cream blush if you tend to have dry skin and desire a dewier finish.

5. Dab cream blush onto the face with the pads of a finger tip. Use small circular motions to blend the color.

 

A Chemist Reviews Formula 15

Q: What differences did you see in your skin after using Formula 15? 

I love the way my skin tone has evened out using Formula 15. Blemishes, acne, sunspots, have all become less noticeable, and, as a result, my skin seems to glow.  Formula 15 goes on smoothly and evenly and has a wonderful scent. 

Q: How do you incorporate Formula 15 into your morning routine?

In the mornings, I cleanse my face with the Nutritive Cleanser, tone with the Intensive Pore Minimizer and apply the Formula 15.  I then finish with the Face Finishing Moisturizer.

My Favorite Pore Erasing Duo

To watch Claire’s application video for the Intensive Pore Minimizer and Intensive Pore Treatment, please click here.

I’ve found the Intensive Pore Minimizer to be the best toner for my skin. It cleans out my pores, helps reduce my oiliness and doesn’t make me break out. My pores have become more noticeable over the years and the IPM has definitely helped to reduce their appearance. I found this to be a great step in my regimen, but recently started using the Intensive Pore Treatment as well. I read that these two products are meant to work in harmony with one another and saw a definite improvement when I used the Minimizer first, after cleansing and then applied the Treatment. Now, my pores are significantly smaller looking and I produce much less oil. They are both non-drying and non-greasy products.

How To: The Metabolic Shake

Claire shares her tips on how to make the best tasting Metabolic shake from Dr. Perricone’s Forever Young

The basic recipe for the Metabolic Diet shake can be found here.

Metabolic Formula Shake Tips:

  • If you’re doing the Metabolic Diet, I highly recommend the Metabolic Formula supplements. They cut cravings and help keep me energized.
  • I use frozen blueberries from Vital Choice. I defrost them for 45 seconds  in the microwave and add 2-3 teaspoons of water to help them blend more smoothly.
  • For the egg whites; just make sure they’re pasteurized. I like Eggology.
  • Thoroughly mix the blueberries before you add the egg whites. Once I add the egg whites, I only  do a quick blend, so it’s not too frothy in texture.
  • Add some chia seeds to the shake to help keep you full
  • I also add coconut oil for EFA benefits. I microwave the coconut oil for under 10 seconds, so its liquid. Then I slowly add it to the shake to prevent clumping.

How do you make your shake?

Have you ever applied concealer and realized it was really unflattering, making you look older?

Has concealer ever left your skin feeling “suffocated” and worse the next day?

Help! I Have Fine Lines & Wrinkles

anti aging treatment skin care tips and recommendations

One of the most common aging concerns is correcting the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. My go-to ingredient to fight micro and macro scarring (aka lines and wrinkles) is Alpha Lipoic acid. It’s is one of the most powerful, yet gentle, skin care ingredients on the market  Dr. Perricone calls it the ‘Universal Antioxidant’ and when you hear about the skin benefits, you’ll see why.

One of my favorite anti-aging face treatments is Advanced Face Firming Activator formulated with Alpha Lipoic acid and DMAE.  I love this product! The results are just incredible. It’s incredibly effective at erasing the surface imperfections visible on skin such as fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven texture and discoloration. One of the most unexpected benefits of the Alpha Lipoic acid is that it helps to minimize the appearance of broken capillaries, which gets to be more of a concern as we age and skin thins.

Beauty Secrets- Firming After Weight Loss

Today’s guest blogger, Tracy, lost 100 lbs pounds 3 years ago and has been searching for an anti aging treatment to help tighten the appearance of loose skin. Click here to watch her share her explain her favorite products.

The only treatments that really visibly firmed my skin are the HP Amine Face Lift and HP Evening Repair (I layer both over Cold Plasma). This combination saved my skin and helped it rebound from weight loss. My skin at 44 is better than at 42!

High Potency Amine Face Lift produces amazing results. It tightens, lifts and lightens the sunspots. My ideal day treatment.

High Potency Evening Repair firms but also gets rid of wrinkles, helps with blemishes, but manages to be gentle enough to work on my sensitive skin. A bonus is my new smaller  pore size.
