New Year Beauty Reboot on Afternoon Live in Portland, OR

Let’s talk about the easiest Beauty resolutions you should make and keep in the new year for the biggest impact on your Beauty in 2018. Watch the full clip here.

1. Everything starts with your skin. We want it to be healthy. So cleansing and moisturizing morning and night is a must. Hopefully, you already have that down so let’s also get to some makeup tips.

2. Brows! If you don’t do your brows. Start. Your brows frame your face and make a huge impact on your look and looking pulled together. It’s easier if you already have a professionally groomed shape. Be sure to go to someone you trust and have seen their work. You don’t want to trust your brows to just anyone. But the basic shape is guided by your eyes. A straight line up from the inner corner of your eye is where your brow should start. It should be squared off not angled. Everyone’s arch is a little different but general should peak about 1/8 inch past your iris. Your trusted brow professional will help with this. Then the tip should taper towards the end.

3. You have lots of options when it comes to what kind of product you want to use. A pomade will give you richer bolder color. A brow powder is lighter, more forgiving and natural. My personal favorite is brow wiz - a slim retractable pencil. If your brows need extra taming fill in with a brow gel.

4. For everyday, you can keep your routine super simple - brows, tinted moisturizer and concealer, blush or bronzer, mascara and lip color.

5. The new year is a great time to make some changes to your everyday beauty routine. Whatever you decide on, just be sure it makes you feel good and confident. That’s what is most important.

Winter Skincare and Makeup Tips on Afternoon Live

I was back for the second time on Afternoon Live, a local TV show here in Portland, Oregon. This segment was on some winter skincare tips and an easy minimalist makeup look. To view my segment, click here! I'm so happy I was able to do another fun segment on Afternoon Live on KATU.

Winter Skin Care - add some hydration

1. For a lot of people, cold winter days can also bring dryness to your skin. When you turn the heat on indoors, your skin starts to dry out. This why it is so important to moisturize your face! 
2. You need to moisturize your face all year long, but as the weather changes so will your skin and you need to adjust your skin care routine also. A lighter moisturizer might work well for you during the summer, but in the winter you might need to switch it up for something more heavy duty. Listen to you skin - it will tell you what it needs, you just need to pay attention.
3. Cleanse your face morning and night and apply your moisturizer after. If you’re feeling super dry, you can apply a slightly heavier night cream after cleansing at night. When you wake up, you face will feel more hydrated.
4. It doesn’t matter how much makeup you layer on your face if your skin isn’t a good base. Taking care of your skin is so important. Using enough moisturizer improves texture and allows your foundation to apply more evenly. You can even add a hydrating mask to the mix for fun! 

We also did a demo on an easy minimalist makeup look with my gorgeous friend Yun Chang as the model. For a full video tutorial on a minimalist makeup look, click here. Or for a pink minimalist makeup look go here.
