Phoenix Beauty Lounge University: Makeup Mistakes

Posted on January 14, 2015 by phoenixbeautylounge

Welcome Back to our Phoenix Beauty Lounge University!

One small tip that will make your makeup routine a bit smoother by permanently removing one common time-waster.

Class #10

Just correct that makeup mistake. Don’t ruin the good side to match the bad

“Just correct that makeup mistake. Don’t ruin the good side to match the bad.”

Oh where do i begin. We’ve all been there and have a lot of painful memories about trying to match the good side to the bad and both of them going terribly wrong. Not to mention we’re late and frustrated.

However, we all have other kind of memories. The kind where you quickly grab a q-tip and quickly correct that mis-hap, then even out the line. The happier kind.

Let’s just do justice to the side that came out perfectly fine and don’t even consider messing it up. Rather remove that extra blusher, that asymmetrical lip liner bit, mis-matched eye liner stroke, and uneven eye shadow.

Let’s face it – we all know how to gently remove the wrong bits of makeup. Let’s just remember all those easy tricks and incorporate them in our daily life so we’re able to quickly clean up the small makeup mistakes and give ourselves another try at doing things right. After all, makeup is all about free-handing the lines of your face 🙂 and sometimes we have to put it on “before” our first cup of coffee and in other challenging and emotionally unstable situations.

Hmm.. So this time you caught yourself by the arm before escalating into that makeup frustration scenario and just erased the wrong bit. Ahh.. doesn’t it feel much better already? You’re welcome!

Phoenix Beauty Lounge University: Edit Your Makeup

Posted on December 10, 2014 by phoenixbeautylounge

Welcome Back to our Phoenix Beauty Lounge University!

It’s always good to be honest with yourself and use the beauty products that truly make a difference.

Class #8

“Only use makeup products that enhance your appearance.”

YoureWelcomeWednesday Beauty University: “Only use makeup products that enhance your appearance.”

Is that eye shadow too sheer it doesn’t even show? Is that concealer not pigmented – or creasing on you? Is that primer completely useless? Does that blush color make you look sick? Well maybe it’s time to call it quits and find a good quality replacement. Keyword: Edit.

A lot of times were influenced into using certain hyper-trendy products by YouTube, blogs, cosmetic sales associates, friends, or simply we don’t feel “cool” if we don’t use them (don’t judge). But if you literally can’t see any difference while using it, or even worse – it makes you look less complementing than without it – it’s time to cut the bs and stop using it. Better be honest than nice.

If you remove one useless step from your makeup routine, and replace frustrating products with ones that deliver results, you can save your time and effort and get ready in a shorter period of time. Totally worth it.

Have you noticed that sometimes you apply a certain product more out of habit than because of its real performance. Do a little audit and critical assessment of your makeup steps. Do you really need all of them? Are all the products you use 100% necessary? Do they make you look better? Or maybe they could use some weeding?

Did you get ready faster this time? You’re welcome!

Great Gifts Countdown: Day 21

Posted on December 4, 2014 by phoenixbeautylounge

“The Holidays are coming!” 🙂

Remember how were we holding our breath with excitement when we were little, while chasing the first snowflake? School break, smell of mom’s baking, building a snowman, crazy winter sports with friends, and endless hours of indoor games. But let’s be honest. The main part of the winter excitement was waiting for the gifts. Well, and magic. Because getting this amount of gifts when it wasn’t even your birthday has something to do with magic, right? 😉

With this year’s early chill, let us all remember the joys of winter as we saw it as little girls, when there was no such thing as “cold outside” and hats and mittens seemed like completely useless accessories! 🙂

And let us carry on the “winter magic” by giving thoughtful gifts to the special people who mean the world to us! You know that deep inside they hope they will get something truly exciting. Like that little child untying her first ribbon on the crispy Christmas morning..

Phoenix Beauty Lounge University

Posted on November 26, 2014 by phoenixbeautylounge

Welcome Back to our Phoenix Beauty Lounge University!

Are you ready to learn one more easy makeup trick that will make your face appear more friendly and approachable?

The thing with these tricks is that once you learn and “see” the visual difference they make, you cannot “unsee” them. You will be noticing the effects of “right” and “wrong” on all the photos in the magazines, the strangers on the bus and all your friends and family members. But promise me that the first person you will apply them to will be that one in the mirror.

Tip #6

YoureWelcomeWednesday Beauty University: Instant Lip Lift

“Conceal the outer corners of your lips for a more youthful and complementing lip shape”

The corners of the lips is one area we rarely pay attention to, but in fact it’s one of the facial features that can take your overall look from looking “upset” to “welcoming” in seconds.

Even though you may not have downward lip corners naturally, they tend to have redness, discoloration or some kind shadow for most people. And they may eventually sag with age as skin looses it’s tightness and tone.

Concealing the outer lip corners and even adding some subtle highlight to this area will instantly bring a potential “resting bitch face” to its more friendly, almost smiley version. And quite possibly will rewind your lips to a few years back. And who wouldn’t like that?

Definitely apply this subtle lip correction technique next time you do your concealing. Does your resting face look more friendly now? You’re welcome!
