Updates and Flawless Looking Skin Tips

Hello Gorgeous!
I have been busy working away at the launch of my new newsletter that features upcoming monthly specials, details on a new product launch, and a beauty tip. The first edition will be sent out today! If you'd like to sign up for it, you can either go here and click on the icon that says newsletter or you can send an e-mail to me at: MakeupbySaraC@gmail.com

I am still working on the layout for this blog - which is proving to be more difficult than I anticipated, but hopefully all the kinks will be worked out soon!

Lastly, it's a lazy Saturday morning so what better way to spend it than sharing with you tip for flawless looking skin! (Ok, it's not really a lazy Saturday morning as I have a kit to re-organize and a few other kit-keeping things I need to do before this evening's photo session with Digital Obsession: Photography by Frank Wise).
So here we go -

**Let your moisturizer sink in for at least 10 minutes before applying foundation
**You always want to use a primer before you apply any type of foundation. This will help create a smoother surface for your foundation.
**If you have oily skin or your face "melts" during the day, loose mineral foundations (as opposed to liquid foundations) will help to soak up the oil as well as feel lighter on your skin.
**Summer & hot weather are just around the corner, so if you don't want to wear full foundation, wear a tinted moisturizer instead. It will give your skin moisture it needs as well as evening out your skin. And most moisturizers contain at least 15 spf.
**Apply face products in thin layers. It's always easier to add more if needed than to remove it once it's already applied. Too much product tends to cake up on you.
**Only use enough powder to set your foundation. You don't need a lot of it - using a powder puff will help to not apply too much.
**Always use primer under your eyes if you plan on using concealer. This will keep the concealer from seeping into the lines.
**If you are having photos taken, you want to keep the SPF only in your moisturizer. Too much spf will cause the flash to reflect off your skin and you will look ghostly in your photos. In addition, you want to go for matte finish products.
**Use a setting spray like MAC's Fix+ or Urban Decay's All Nighter

Bridal: Renz & Kat

On St. Patrick's day I had the pleasure of meeting these two and contributing to these lovely photos. These two are awesome and so much fun to be around! Kat and I share the same love of changing our hair color - which is just fantastic. Last I spoke with her she had orange and pink hair and she showed up on Saturday with blue-violet. This means I instantly like her.  Renz was great - lots of sarcastic comments - which proved to keep the atmosphere funny and never dull. The photographer, Edgar A. Hernandez-Rico (EAHR), was very nice and professional - kept their photo session moving and had his own light-hearted comments to throw in. It was a great way to spend St. Patty's day and we have great photos as proof!

Cira and Tony

      Last Saturday I had the pleasure of being a part of Cira's wedding. The venue was absolutely awesome - totally country and romantic and the decorations that Cira made were beautiful. It was awesome to see so many people come together to not only help set up for the celebration, but also to support two wonderful people in their marriage. Cira was amazing, calm and peaceful through the whirlwind before the wedding and her bridesmaids were awesome as well. I loved having the opportunity to provide makeup services for Cira and her bridesmaids - they were so much fun!

Eyeko & Kandee Johnson

Hi guys!
I know I've been silent for a bit now - I've been fighting off this "24 hour" bug for the past 4 or 5 days now; but things are looking up! So to celebrate this, I thought I would let you all know about the Eyeko giveaway on Kandee Johnson's blog.

Kandee Johnson is a very talented makeup artist and funny as ever! She's currently hosting a giveaway for 50 winners to recieve an Eyeko mascara (a $19 value) to celebrate Eyeko's launch with Sephora.

According to Sephora.com, "As London's most coveted cosmetics, Eyeko pairs innovative products with youthful sensibilities that have driven celebrity babes crazy for their next beauty fix since its launch in May 2000. Make up is about transformation and Eyeko mirrors that constant evolution with each cosmetic collection. From trend led limited editions to updated favourites; from new and improved designs to the latest make up must-haves -- Eyeko has her finger firmly on fashions pulse. Dip into Eyeko--s deluxe bag of tricks and discover the secret of glowing skin, bright eyes and big lips that A-listers crave.

Like a savvy best friend who's always picture perfect let Eyeko show you how to wear the latest luxe looks like your favourite stars. As seen in Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, InStyle and many more top international titles."
