Fabulous Finds…

For the pale skin, freckley, red heads ☺

As I was getting ready this morning I thought to myself, its taken me about six years to find the perfect colors for my skin tone, a way I can get my hair under control, and just a fast way to get ready every morning without spending two hours doing my makeup and hair.
I wonder how many other pale skin redheads may be doing the same. I wanted to find some products that I could use everyday that didn’t look super heavy. I just wanted a bit of makeup to enhance my skin, my eyes, and lips.
I decided this morning that I need to share what I’ve discovered with my redhead friends!

First, make sure you pour yourself a cup of coffee!...let’s begin!




Skin

My sister is an Aveda hairstylist, so I’m pretty sold on all the Aveda products. The tourmaline charged cleanser I use in the morning. A few minutes scrubbing it into my face and then rinse it off. It adds a little extra glow to my skin! I use the Aveda spot relief for any unwanted blemishes (ugh acne!).
Next, I put on a tiny bit of foundation. I found this Covergirl Clean Foundation that is super light. Just a little bit adds smoothness to my skin! I use the number 210 Classic Ivory. It’s perfect for my skin tone.
Wa-La! You’re finished with your skin!

Eyes
I actually begin putting my mascara on first, before I do my skin routine. I use the Mary Kay black mascara, it really pops! To remove any mascara that gets on your skin, I learned this trick from my sister: put a little bit of lotion on a Q-tip, and use the Q-tip to remove the makeup from your skin (make sure the lotion is face lotion and be careful around your eyes).
Apply your skin makeup.
Next, I use Bare Minerals Primetime. I put a tiny bit on my finger and apply it to my eyelid (all the way up to my eyebrow). This stuff is awesome, it just has a little bit of a shimmer to it. It’s a perfect, everyday eye color.









Lips
Finally, I use a little of Aveda’s lip gloss 870 Crystal Mint. It’s a clear gloss that just enhances the natural color of my lips!









Nails
My husband can testify that one of my favorite things to do is to get my nails done! However, we can’t afford for me to get my nails done every few weeks, so I was recently in search for a new nail polish color! I came across this awesome line, Butter London, and found this amazing green polish that is perfect for those of us that are fair skinned! I use this awesome clear polish as my base coat and top coat called Rejuvacote. It not only works great as a base coat and top coat, but it also helps your nails grow and enhances your nails so they are strong! It’s really awesome stuff. It’s a little spendy, but totally worth it, in my opinion (try to find it on Amazon.com, it’s cheaper!).
The best fall/winter colors for redheads, in my opinion are this green color by Butter London, or OPI black, or bright red. The black polish creates a nice contrast against our pale skin. The red nail polish really is eye catching against our almost white skin.

Apply:
One coat of Rejuvocote.
Two coats of nail polish color.
One more coat of Rejuvocote.

Hope this helps! Stay tuned for my next post on hair: Let’s doody do our Hair!
