About Make-Up
The Roman Dramatist Plautus wrote, "A woman without paint is like food without salt." Makeup compliments human beauty. People have been wearing makeup throughout history. In 4000 BC Egyptians were painting their eyebrows with kolh, and in 1100 BC Greeks were wearing rouge. Today, there are a large variety of cosmetics at our disposal.

Makeup has the power to prepare you for whatever lies ahead. It can make you more the person you want to be, and help you feel more at ease or pleased with yourself before starting your daily activities. If you are happy with your makeup, you can forget about it and simply enjoy life and the pleasure of being you.

Style in makeup is something to explore. Don't use makeup as a form of camouflage, use it to bring out the best features in your face, and even as a way to show another side of your personality, possibly one you never knew you had. Sometimes glamorous,  sometimes as natural as can be, you make the choice.

Tips:
Makeup must be applied to  clean and moisturized skin. It is very  important to follow a skin care program and to be aware of the needs of your skin type.

Do not use foundation to change your skin color! These products are designed to enhance your complexion, not to alter it.

Glitter  is trendy & fun, a way to draw attention to cheekbones, eyelids, brow bones, or lips. Just  use it sparingly.

Dislike the dry finish & unnatural cast of long wearing lipstick? Try makeup sealant that can be brushed over any lipstick.  

Only all natural, mineral make up is used and recommended.

Mineral Makeup
For 40 years mineral makeup has built a reputation as being the most prestigious product in the business, recommended by Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists throughout the world. Mineral makeup is a highly sophisticated blend of minerals and pigments that are micro-pulverized, to form microscopic flat crystals. These crystals overlap each other on the skin to form a filter that allows the skin to breathe and function normally while still protecting it from air-borne pollutants. The staying power of the minerals is so great that they rarely need a touch-up during the day.

Mineral Makeup:
