Mineral Cosmetics and their Ingredients: Part two

We know that Parabens are in almost everything we eat and use on our skin and hair daily!

Parabens prevent mold, bacterial and fungal contamination. Widespread types of parabens include: Methylparaben, which is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract or through the skin. More importantly p-hydroxybenzoic acid is rapidly excreted without accumulation in the body, which is good news as it is the one paraben found in most products use daily. Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Butylparaben and Benzylparaben. Are used as well. I am not writing an article on parabens, the only reason I bring them up is if you have skin issues that are caused by parabens, then read the label of your cosmetics to see if they are listed.

I would like to put my 2 cents in on the use of parabens. Although their function to prevent mold, bacterial and fungal contamination; think what might happen to the products that don't have any parabens in them? Take mascara, my studies found that paraben free mascara was useless. As without parabens, it makes mascara flaky, and worse the overall texture were clumpy! Do you remember the 1% or less rules I told you in part one? Well, my research showed that mascara's that had even the smallest amount of parabens like 1/10th of 1 percent and as low as 0.15 of 1 percent of parabens. Was amazingly great mascara in that they didn't flake or clump and the ones that had a cream base stayed all day! Creating beautiful eyelashes, and they were as low as 0.15 of one percent containing parabens!!!

There are some cosmetics that don't ever need parabens. Take eyeliners and lip liners. If they contain natural plant parts and custom mineral blends. With the base formula of oils and natural waxes with ingredients like vitamin E (made from the soy plant) as well as Mica, Iron Oxides and Titanium Dioxide.

Quality Mineral lipsticks also don't need any parabens in them. My own lipstick research taught me that if a formulator uses quality ingredients. One can delete all dyes, fillers and lakes and only uses pure pigment for coloring. Ingredients like Castor Oil, Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Fractionated, Cocoa Oil, Candelilla Wax, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Cocoa butter, Mango butter, Shea butter and Vitamin E. The results are: lipstick that will never bleed and moistens your lips all-day. Then you add mica, Iron Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, and you have the perfect formula.

Of course this lipstick is not cheap, however quality should never suffer ingredients and women should get what they pay for and rightfully so!!!
Natural preservatives: such as rosemary extract, vitamin C and E, citric acid, green and white tea extract (antioxidant), grape, apricot or pomegranate seed extract (Antioxidants) Vitamin B17 in apricot seeds has been said to be Anticarcinogenic. Tea tree extract as an antibacterial to also prevent spoiling. If one uses natural preservatives (in especially liquids), there will be no need for parabens.

Organic Cosmetics: Found in some high-end mineral cosmetics, however I would like to let you know the true amount found sometimes is questionable in that do they really do anything? Here is where the rule of one percent or less may come in to play! While it’s stated that if a product has one percent or less it doesn’t have to be listed as an ingredient!

Some cosmetic companies may list organic names like the list above of natural plant parts, when in fact they could be as little as one 10th of a percent or much lower. Remember even with this small amount of organic additives one can claim their cosmetics have natural or organic ingredients. The reason then for using the word organic drives the price up about 30% more than the standard pure minerals.

Here is some food for thought: during my research on organic extraction of plants I found out there could be as many as 200 chemicals in one plant. Now try to imagine processing only 3 or 4 chemicals that are pure enough to use as an additive. This means the overall process is time-consuming and time is money right? This is what lead me to believe that it would only stand to reason for one adding a specific additive that has a value may cost $35.00 for only a few grams or a mere 1/8 of an oz. How much product would a formulator add to a so called organic cosmetic. Of course then one might consider some additives may even cost more and after all profit is the results needed to stay in business.

Please realize that a plant has different parts, such as the steam that feeds the leaf and then there are the feeding veins to nourish the plant. During this natural process, insect’s fungus, mold and all of earth’s free radicals attack the plant life and often destroy or alter the plants (Anti-oxidants). Further some plants can only be grown and harvest at certain times of the year, for full benefits.

It’s in my option that organic research needs more investigation. However not by the FDA rather a private sector that is not basis and short handed. Perhaps organic matter that is pure belongs in our system through diet! Ingredient labels are important to read, as you now well know. 3 to 7 % of women can have an allergic reaction to certain organic plants and bi-products there of is why the FDA requires ingredient labels in the first place. The FDA has little control of ingredients with over 5000 listed in cosmetics! You can well bet some are rated at the 10 scales as being harmful as a rule these are laden chemical cosmetics.

Micronized and Nanoparticles: This falls in to common sense the smaller a particle is the deeper it can penetrate your skin. This defeats mineral cosmetics, because your pores will clog. Mineral cosmetics should’t clog your pores thus leaving you with a light protective covering that has a light feeling on your face.

This is one more reason I only use loose mineral cosmetics on my models, clients as well as students! Micronized and Nanoparticles are the result of minerals that our crushed or put in a blender. Most often used in preesed powders, because a chemical has to be added to press the powder. Yet most women like pressed powders because they are less missie than loose minerals. Perhap those of you who lean towards pressed powders should give them a second thought especaily knowing you most likely are’t getting what you pay for?

I give loose mineral cosmetics five stars for the simple reasons above and it appears fewer ingredients are needed and the best part is loose minerals will never require parabens or filers. While pressed minerals only get three stars because of additives most commonly used and micro as well as Nano particle size are not good for your pores.

Mineral Cosmetics and their ingredients: Part one

Mineral cosmetics companies are popping up on the Internet everyday with ingredients that are questionable as even being a pure mineral. Take bismuth oxychloride, while being in the mineral realm. Its a heavy metal and necessitates the constant buffing mineral makeup companies advise to force it into the skin and pores to keep it from sliding off your face. Over buffing of minerals can cause irritation and continuing inflammation on sensitive skin types. Further, it can make acne cystic by congesting pores and cause rosacea to flare. It is a by-product of lead and copper refining.


Bismuth oxychloride commonly used as cheap filler. Thus major makeup companies can make a larger profit by using it with a pure pigment! The weight of this bi-product is heavy; of course it is heavy, it has lead in it and lead does not belong on your skin! Moving right along, please listen up, here is why even the former laden chemical companies are using BO in major brands that are now joining in on the mineral cosmetic market!


BO is the world's cheapest filler. In conclusion, don't buy products that contain bismuth oxychloride in them, if you do your risking many skin issues that can cause irritation, reading the ingredients in the products that you buy is of the highest importance!!! Please read all the ingredients of all mineral products and if the company does not list ingredients, ask or by pass them altogether! My research shows that over 40% of mineral cosmetic companies don't even list any of there, ingredients online, however the FDA requires one to print a label and place it on the bottom of any containers shipping worldwide.

Here is a mineral cosmetic secret that few women know of, any product that has 1% or less of any ingredients the FDA say it doesn't have to be on a label! Consequently, companies don't list all of their ingredients. Some of the major brands out there also use another so to speak get out of jail free card by using these words (may contain bismuth oxychloride) if it says may contain my research shows BO is in your product. The exception to this rule is the use of (may contain Kaolin Clay); there are products that don't contain kaolin clay, however when making labels it's easer to just print may contain this ingredient. My research does show this not to be true with BO as this is a get out of jail card!

If a product does contain Ferric Ferrocyanide the FDA states it must be listed on a label because this is often used in deep blues for eye shadows. However ferric ferrocyanide is never safe on one's lips. Since your lips can transfer this product in to your bloodstream also Chromium Oxide Chromium Oxide Green is also not safe for your lips. Carmine (also called Crimson Lake) is safe for eye shadows, and used in some lipsticks.

Some women have allergic reactions to Carmine: Cochineal is the name of crimson or carmine dye and the cochineal insect (Dactylopius coccus), a scale insect in the suborder Sternorrhyncha, from which the dye is derived. Carmine used in mineral cosmetics eye shadows as a rule are low in percentage of volume however it’s really a choice for those who don’t like using any part of an insect on their skin!

Pure minerals are just what the statements means. Please realize there are many gimmicks out there, and I am only trying to give you some insight on what is going on with the mineral cosmetics of today! Because I am a research makeup artist I have spent one year learning what it’s all about and what one should divert their attention on and what to avoid. After all minerals are good for your skin in many ways, however one can defeat their own purpose of them when mislead with some commercials!!!


Pure minerals means no dyes or lakes like the chemical cosmetics have and they should be without talk powder as many women have an allergic reaction to talk. Natural pigments are used instead of dyes or lakes or should I say should be used. There is no reason for a true pure mineral to have any fillers. They should not have any of the following ingridents in them: Magnesium Stearate a filler and
Zinc Stearate used to fight mold.


These products are not needed in loose minerals. However you will find some of them in pressed powders. The most common minerals found are Mica: A virtually neutral, transparent mineral that transpire naturally in the earth's face and mined from all parts of the world. When purified and crushed into fine powders which are used in developing mineral makeup.

Titanium Dioxide: A naturally occurring mineral from the earth's surface. Provides long-lasting coverage for mineral makeup foundation, setting powders and provides a natural, broad-spectrum UV protection. Anti-inflammatory properties and May calm skin and prevent breakouts.
Which is good for your skin as a whole with its built in SPF 15.

Zinc Oxide: Anti-inflammatory with antimicrobial properties. It is the broadest spectrum UVA and UVB absorber that’s approved for use as a sunscreen by the FDA, and is completely photostable. It is also a main ingredient of mineral cosmetics.


Iron Oxides: are the most commonly used pigment for coloring cosmetics such as foundation and eye shadow. Mixing these three groups of Iron Oxide in different ratios produces various skin colors. Good formulators sometimes use Iron Oxide to correct undertones of mineral cosmetics that delete casting hues to ones skin tone.


Serecite: Fluffy translucent mica that may be used alone as a primer or setting powder and offers a silky texture to foundations and finalizers. Often used in mineral makeup formulas.

Ferric ferrocyanide: An organic pigment that provides blue tones to natural mineral pigments. Not safe for lip use.

Kaolin Clay: A pure cosmetic powder that absorbs moisture, helps keeps down shine, provides an opaque, white base for colors, and assists with adherence to skin. Kaolin Clay is odorless, has a smooth texture and often used in mineral makeup matte foundation formulas. You will note that most cosmetic companies add Kaolin Clay and Boron Nitride when their products contains BO it will aid in adhesion to ones skin! BO also creates a strong shine to your face and this is unnatural in the over all look.

Boron Nitride: The different forms of boron nitride provide slip, silkiness, adherence, and oil-absorption capabilities. Cosmetics Boron Nitride (BN) powder is a primary raw material for a wide range of cosmetic and skin care formulations, including foundations, Concealers and lipsticks, and sunscreens. Some advantages are increased adherence, smoother and softer feeling products, improved spread ability, extended wear, soft-focus properties oil absorption and to improve compressibility for pressed powders. It also brings out pigments to a brilliant color and has a positive effect on skin.

Rice Powder: A highly absorbent product stemmed from ground rice. Absorbs both moisture and oils. Leaves a soft, silky feeling when added to mineral makeup powders.


Mother-of-Pearl: Also know as Calcium Carbonate. Used as a whitener, oil absorber and filler, this fine white powder occurs naturally in marble, limestone, and oyster shells. Uses include pigment and pigment extender in cosmetics, mineral makeup, and as whitener in toothpastes. The use of Mother-of- pear is often used in pearly eye shadows. It is also often used as another filler, however in small amount of use it can make a unique look in cosmetics.



Pressed powders versus loose minerals: To press a powder a chemical must be added to compress it to a solid form. Here is the negative pressed powders can have, whenever you add a chemical to a mineral there is the chance of bacteria being put in it. The amount of product is also lessened, as the containers are compact in size. The product has been altering to micro size. I will talk more about micro products in another article. The only positive I can say are pressed powders are less messy and are easer to carry around with you!

Pure Loose Minerals never have additives:
Pure means just that a process of advanced machinery the minerals go through. This means to you the consumer that loose minerals never need any paraben whatever, and even better yet you get what you pay for! While loose minerals never clog your pores, they can be reapplied as often as needed without ever giving you a caking feeling on your face.

Loose minerals do need a quality kabuki brush for their application and yes a little messier but worth it in the long run. For the best result swirl, a small amount of your loose minerals, angle your kabuki brush and swirl into the lid until all the minerals have been tucked into the bristles. Tap away excess. There should be no visible mineral on the outside the brush. Buff the minerals into the skin in a circular motion, starting on the outside your face near your cheekbone, swirling as you go. Buff around your face and then approach your forehead, cheeks, and nose.


Here ends part one.

Free Beauty Tip # 1

Beauty tip # 1

Here is the trick to penciling in eyebrows to create a natural look. Pick an eyebrow pencil as close as possible to your own natural color. For example, if you have brown hair, use a medium brown eye pencil. Sharpen it so you can make a whisk upward, in a short stroke.

Think of the pencil as the size of one hair, it is thin and needs a thin short line, just like your own eyebrow hairs. This is the trick, for missing hairs to appear like real hairs, you must do it with this new method. Your last step is to use an eyebrow brush and brush the area upward to complete the blending.

Anti-Aging Skin Care: The Ultimate Betrayal By Fat-Cat Cosmetic Companies

Here is a list of new fans of Life Cell users




Anti-Aging Skin Care: The Ultimate Betrayal By Fat-Cat Cosmetic Companies.
A chilling multi-billion dollar dark scandal is taking place in the anti-aging skin care market...RIGHT NOW. It's an alarming scandal that – if you are like most women I know – is cheating you out of a lot of your good money...your time...and (worse!)...Is robbing you of the benefits you should be getting from these products.

The brutal truth is that most of what you probably hear about anti-aging and anti-wrinkle skin care products through the mainstream channels (like TV ads and magazines) is little more than… industry propaganda. Everyone with an anti-wrinkle product to hawk – especially the big cosmetic companies – are jumping on today’s “fountain of youth” bandwagon, eager to cash in on your insecurities (and the youth culture) that go hand in hand with our increased 21st century longevity. And even though some of the anti-aging skin care stuff they’re pitching is quite expensive, a lot of the “science” behind these products is just useless and sometimes even... dangerous.

Listen, we "look old" because of wrinkles, lines, skin blotchiness, age-spots, loss of skin radiance, sagging skin (a big one), "feather" lips, under-eye puffiness (a dead give-away), crow's feet and thinning lips.

On a biological level, skin-aging is caused by: free-radical damage, changes in fat content of skin, changes in skin collagen, dehydration, DNA changes, degradation of the elastin polypeptides and certain disorders in the packing of the lipid matrix of the skin.

In short, any anti-aging skin care cream, that doesn't attack ALL the problems (tell-tale signs as well as biological changes) associated with skin-aging has no hope other than being an ineffective quick-fix...a band-aid on a bullet wound, so to speak. Anyone who tells you differently is L-Y-I-N-G.

Shockingly though (and despite it being scientifically possible), almost NO topical anti-wrinkle cream made by the fat-cat cosmetic companies attacks ALL the "tell-tale signs" or "biological changes" associated with aging-skin.

I guess, they "expect" us to slather our faces with 10 to 15 different anti-aging skin care creams at once, each tackling a "different" biological cause of facial aging? For example, one cream for fighting free-radical damage, one for collagen depletion and so on and so forth...

But wait! Then they expect us to buy a moisturizer, firming serum, under-eye cream, anti-wrinkle cream, night cream, day cream, age-spot reducer and so on... and slather all these creams on our faces at once.

And finally, after we've almost ended up selling the farm to buy this stuff, they "say" we have a "chance" to look young.

Listen up: The way anti-wrinkle & anti-aging skin care cosmetics are sold right now, unless women are determined to spend the rest of their lives applying 20 to 30 creams (everyday) on their faces...each tackling a different problem associated with skin-aging...they are without much hope. And if someone does have that kind of determination and time (no matter how filthy rich they are), they don't have a life, are clinically insane and should be admitted to a mental asylum immediately!

What most normal woman end up doing is applying a few creams that treat or "hide" a few problems associated with skin aging. And then we "hope" for the best, right? But at the very best we end up getting "Heartbreaking Results." The majority of us suffer from them – for every skin-aging problem we attack, we're leaving several unattended to. We end up missing out on the wonderful youthful skin we "could" be having.

However, worry not.

New research has uncovered a cosmetic company that is changing the “as usual” way of doing business. The company, South Beach Skin Care, after 7 years of scientific research, has come out with an all-in-one-anti-aging skin care treatment called LifeCell. A Columbia University Trained Plastic Surgeon has discovered it. LifeCell is a revolutionary new breakthrough in skin care science that makes lines and wrinkles virtually vanish before your very eyes.

How so?

Well, South Beach Skincare has added an ultra-advanced (and super expensive) ingredient to its all-in-one anti-aging cream, LifeCell, originally created exclusively for their celebrity and European Royalty clients. It's the same ingredient these folks use as a "Secret Stealth Weapon" to vanish the appearance of wrinkles within 60 seconds when they have to be "on stage" for those red-carpet occasions. This ingredient "magically tricks" the eyes...to make wrinkles disappear in the same amount of time it takes to...

"Blink!"

Well it's not exactly a "magic trick." It's science, which "appears" magical. This "magic ingredient" is silicon dioxide in the form of...

"Billions Of Microscopic Three-Dimensional Crystals!"
So what?

Here's "so what": Almost nobody knows this...but...the human eye cannot see a wrinkle. What the eye sees is actually the shadow made by the wrinkle. And, since all those billions of microscopic silicon dioxide crystals refract light, when you use this cream...

"There Are No Shadows To See!"

This invisible effect will last until you wash your face and the cream is removed.

But there's more! You can be darn certain the appearance of... smooth, wrinkle-free, baby-soft skin doesn't wash off once you remove the cream! Here's what else LifeCell does:

The End Of Botox? As soon as you apply LifeCell to your face, an active isolate in LifeCell called Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (AH3) starts working its almost instantaneous magic. Researchers believe that anecdotal evidence suggests; AH3 has a similar mechanism of action as Botox. AH3 is supposed to work by relaxing facial muscles in a less invasive fashion than Botox; this inject able toxin used to paralyze facial muscles temporarily and thereby reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, unlike Botox, AH3 does not involve paralysis, toxins or side effects caused by leaked serum.


This produces a significant reduction in the appearance of both the depth and size of fine lines & wrinkles. It is quick, safe, and easy, you don't have to sell the farm to afford it, and women just love its 'softening effect' on the face.

24-Hour Moisturizer: LifeCell intensely moisturizes and nourishes your skin... like it has never been moisturized before ever! (Many pharmacists believe LifeCell is the best moisturizer in the world because it can penetrate through 20 skin cell layers.) It’s a welcome surge of relief you feel instantly.

Natural Collagen Stimulator: LifeCell helps stimulate production of collagen, helping lines; wrinkles and unsightly "crow's feet" to look more smoothened out, lifted away. Wrinkles appear pushed up and out as though plumped from within.

Micro lifter & Firmer: LifeCell's 25,000 micro lifters immediately form a network to help make your skin look tighter and firmer. (On average, women over 40 have over 25,000 micro-points on their face which LifeCell's micro lifters target.)

Age Spots: LifeCell reduces the appearance of discolorations and imperfections.

Beautiful Eyes: LifeCell increases balance of moisture in the gentle skin around eyes. Eyelids appear lifted; eyes look recon toured and wide-open.

Reduce Serious Dark Circles & Under-Eye Puffiness? LifeCell reduces the appearance of under-eye puffiness and dark circles. And this happens at the same time... LifeCell reduces the appearance of eye puffiness and dark circles.

Lip Plumper: Lips appear fuller; fine lines around the mouth appear smoothened and lip "bleed" is prevented. Your "provocative pout" remains soft, moist, seductive... all day, all night! With continued use your lips' natural color looks restored.

All of this means your lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, age spots, skin discolorations, under eye puffiness & dark circles... appear fainter and fainter... and. if you use LifeCell long enough, it is possible all these tell-tale signs will no longer even be visible. In addition, your skin will glow radiantly and your lips will appear Plumped up."

A majority of South Beach Skin Care’s clients are A-list Hollywood celebrities, supermodels and even... European Royalty! Because of non-disclosure reasons, they are not allowed to reveal the names of their clients. All we are allowed to share with you is that rumor has it; five of their clients have won Oscars. Many of them have won Emmys for their TV performances. Three others are what I consider some of the most drop-dead gorgeous models in the world. And a select few of their clients are direct descendents of European Royalty!

You can't find a more demanding group of clients in the world, when it comes to anti-wrinkle & anti-aging skin care treatment. Period. Because no other occupations require quite the same dedication to upholding one's appearance (in body as well as skin), as do these fields. So South Beach Skincare obviously know their stuff when it comes to anti-aging skin care treatments.

Makeup Tips on PH Balance Part 2

Makeup Tips on PH Balance (Part2)

Cell regression starts at a young age. Metabolism changes from day-to-day! Diet, as you just learned, and emotional stress, changes your skin. Smoking will also age you faster; it can cause dark circles under the eyes and lines around the mouth. Failure to prep your skin will also age you. Good skin care is important in controlling the aging process.

This is the absolute truth, so listen, because these are realities not fiction. You will implicitly understand what certain products do. The cosmetic industry is a billion dollar a year industry. It is up to you to read the ingredients in each cosmetic you buy; too many women buy brand names, unaware that most containers cost more than their contents and that an inexpensive product might have the same ingredients. So if you are on a budget, remember to read.

The key word to any cosmetic on the commercial marketplace is appearing, our products will make your age lines appear less prominent; you will appear to have a face-lift, without cosmetic surgery. These statements initially seem accurate by the simple use of this word, but think about it. If the product was proven to do its promised job, then the word appear would not be necessary. Appear is a legal get-out clause if someone complains the product did not do what it promised.

Makeup tips on PH balance

PH is a medical term that describes the balance of your system and it refers to the condition of metabolic changes. Most skin problems are a derivative of diet and the lack of proteins. Now, for a stepping-stone to a beautiful you, let us look at our regime involved in prepping our skin. Once again, skin problems stem from unbalanced PH. Our skin has a happy PH balance and when your diet is unstable, as with the typical American junk food diet, our skin changes as a result.

An increase in sugar or a lack of vegetables changes the PH balance of your skin; if you over cleanse your face (by cleansing in the morning and again at nighttime) you will age your skin by reducing the natural moisture in the T-zone area. Sometimes, just a white, warm washcloth soaked with distilled water, followed by a cleanser, and is better than toner. The base ingredient of most toners is alcohol, which dries out your skin. At nighttime, before you go to bed, is the best time for toners, because they remove makeup, and environmental impurities, and dead skin cells.

Over-cleansing your face will age you. The best oil is that which your body produces. As a rule, those who have oily skin look younger, because oily skin is not prone to wrinkles like dry skin owing to abundance in natural oils. Each of you has a specific skin type and each of you needs a balanced moisture cream that suits your individual needs.

Let us consider some things that cause changes to your skin that you perhaps overlook. Many women fast, thus draining the body of the needed vitamins that one gets from food. If you dehydrate your body, you change your sodium and potassium level, which changes your PH.

Many women think that it is a good idea to put oil on their skin; this is fine for your arms and legs, but never put oil on your face. This method is a myth. Why? Well, if you apply oil on your face, your sebaceous glands (oil producing glands) will stop producing the skin's own precious natural oils. Here's what happens: The brain sends a message to the glands that oil is present, thus cutting off your natural moistening and the result is an increase in aging because of dryness.

Some women try to correct the effects of PH imbalances with an inexpensive moisturizer while others spend megabucks for a product that will do the same job. Remember, if your skin is dry, you need to moisturize and you do not need an expensive product to do this. Skin demands different products, so listen to your skin–if it is breaking out, or drying out, it is telling you it needs a change of product (you may also want to review your lifestyle habits to see if there is something you are eating or doing that may be affecting your skin). Should you use the same products year after year? Let us see–shampoo, after 90 days, builds a residue on the hair shaft. Deodorant, after 90 days, does not work as effectively.

As your body builds tolerance to your products, you must change products. Also, do not use the same product in the summer as in the winter months because your skin will have different needs when exposed to cold or hot weather. If, for whatever reason, your PH level changes, so will your need for products. Does this make sense? Common sense is your rule to follow. In addition, as you age, your skin will require different products, so let you skin tell you when to change. The Artemus Objective Method of Makeup©

Artemus By Serjame

This download is for PC'S only sorry Mac users.


ARTEMUS is my logo for the parent company of Artemus By Serjame. The reason I chose this name is because , In Ancient Greek Mythology Artemus was the daughter of Zeus and Hera, a Goddess of Olympus. ARTEMUS was the virgin Goddess of the moon, the hunt, and protector of the Greek Amazon Nation; She was the Goddess of the night. During my research I thought this is perfect for a research makeup artist that being me of course and as a result my research started 15 years ago and was just finished in August of 2006. The Bible Of Makeup is the end results and now is released, you can click on the above image and see a free sample if you like.

Makeup Tips On Seasons

Make-up companies are out for your money they care less how you look, just so you buy their products is there only concern, this is why I don’t promote any makeup manufacture to date. Some food for thought, how can you be cool or warm when their are 4 seasons, are Makeup Artist getting lazy leaving out two of the seasons or what? The true facts are the creation of seasons were done with the wrong general information and to prove this some of you went for a classification and got two different choices, well this can be true if you are a season crossover, yet most of you don’t know what this even means right?

Do you wear red lipstick? If you do, you must be winter or a crossover season to the last stage of fall, why you ask, it is because of color contrast to your skin tone not your skin hue, as seasons were designed at the beginning of the concept. Allot of women are dismayed with the makeup they buy because you purchase the wrong ITEMS this is because you are not the correct season classification that you think you are, and of course you spent your hard earned money and are not happy with what you bought, my e-book will guide you to the correct choice every time and you will not have useless makeup in the case or the bathroom drawer. Honesty is the best policy and that is what I will give you.


If you are still with me I would like to tell you a short story about a girl name Melinda, she was a friend in Hawaii, who never wore her makeup right, so one day I got brave and told her to read my e-bool on How to be your own makeup artist, she said OK three months later Melinda was no longer working at the front desk she was promoted to executive sectary to the Vice president of the company and got a salary increase.
She called me that day! and said Thank You! Well it gets better as she thought to her self I can live on what I made before, I think I will invest in stocks within this company and she did every year for 5 years the stock split and then split again, she now owns 53% and is the Chairman of the board and the President answered to Melinda. A simple change gave her where with all within herself to a positive attitude and in her case it paid off big! You too can change your self worth with the simple use of correct makeup application and further your desire to get a head sounds amazing right? Try it you will be happy you did. Serjame.

90% of all women do their makeup wrong!

90% of all Women do their Makeup Wrong!
By James Bayliss




The reason why 90% of women do their make-up wrong is the complexity of techniques created over the last one hundred years as makeup artist as a rule use the subjective method and not the objective method. To further elaborate on this subject you are at the hands of a sole creation within the mind of an artist and how they perceive you or you are doing your own makeup application and you also use the subjective method that you have learned from books, magazines or your self creation of what you think makes you look good. The problem is you are inside looking out and not outside looking in. You see what you want not necessarily what really is going on.



The correct method of make-up application involves the objective method, which means you need rules to follow and a guide to all the variables contained there in. There are 10 rules to makeup application and these rules are fool proof, however if you break one rule you will do your makeup incorrect and will have defeated your purpose.



To the best of my knowledge I am the only research makeup artist who has spent 10 years of research and development of the ten rules that work on all women of the world, this means every face shape, skin tone skin hue, blending colors, non-blending colors and perhaps more importantly the in-between colors you have never considered, as well as the missing variables never put in print to this very day! This is the research that has been brought forward to the 21st century. Note: The 10 rules are not in this article, watch for them in future articles.



Once you learn your focal points and point-of-view and have a special tool that will guide you to the center of your face, your on your way to the perfect you and the ability to appear up to 7 years younger with the correct array of color choices that suit you own needs. Once you know the10 rules you can return to the subjective method, because you will be able to create any look or facial creation you so chose knowing that you will look amazing to say the least.



Here are a few makeup tips: If you have brown eyes never use blue eye shadow why you ask, well brown and blue are clashing colors and are also not-blending colors these colors together are not even close in the color spectrum nor can they create a balance to eye art in any way, however these colors can be used in fashion when the correct hues are mixed with a blending color. For eye art they are never to be used together.



If you ware red lipstick and you are not a true winter season you will washout your focal points and the point of view, as well as clash to tonal balance to skin tone and hue, a bad choice and the color red has sexual connotations and always have since the early 50’s all light skin such as summer and springs should never ware red also if you have red hues or tones to your skin, this color will have to much contrast and will washout. The only thing people will see is your lipstick need I say more, OK I will, red is harsh and is not a blending color to a women’s face in less your skin tone is very dark like ebony. Red depicts an aging factor to all women at any age it draws your viewer to a closer look to your age lines smile lines and frown lines, I don’t think you want to do this do you? If you are 14 years old and want to look older just use bright red lipstick and you will appear at least 5 years older. Dark red lipstick will age you even more.



Oil based foundation must be used with great caution as they clog your pores, this will be a paradox statement in that it does have one positive use and that is, it won’t aloud environmental impurities to penetrate your sheer mantle of skin. If you use it be sure to clean your face well and use the standard regime before application and only use an application that covers your face in a good balance to create the frame of your face don’t load it on. The newer foundations with a water base are better for you all around.



Lipstick tips: If your lipstick does not have built in sun screen apply some to your lips before the application, if you are out in the sun anything that shines draws the sun to that area and will make your lips chapped.



Blush Tips: This application is the biggest abuse of make-up application and has been for many years your goal is not to look like a clown but rather healthily this means a natural look. If you follow the guidelines of most make-up artist and magazines in print today you will have done it incorrect. Why you ask? I will tell you blush has only one place on your face and that is the apple of your check bone, not on your forehead, nose, and chin if you read this from an artist they are using methods that are outdated some one hundred years and in some cases longer than that.



The correct technique is to purchase a good brush and pick the correct color hue to your skin tone of course you must first know all the variables there in; as too are you a solid season or a crossover to dual season, this can be very complex at times but not for everyone. If you choose the wrong blush hue or tone you will age your self and destroy all makeup application, because the only thing that will stand out is your misuse of blush. If some one tells you to use plumb, deep rose or anything darker you must be a winter to the depth of ebony, should you be spring, summer or fall they are wrong!



The major makeup companies don’t know anything about blush; they just sell what you buy in fact you control the colors they make by buying them. Did you know allot of women have facial hair regardless of it being blond or very light, hair holds abuse amounts of blush this is why it is important to apply it always in a down ward stroke and before doing so always tap the excess blush on the brush by tapping it over a paper plate.



While making fish lips apply it on the upper check bone only and always finish with a natural translucent power on you entire face, this is the setting of makeup application and the end of the center of your face, which are your own best features. Now if you follow what others tell you and put blush on you forehead, nose chin or any other place you have done your makeup wrong. Honest is the best policy it never returns to bite you and this is why I am giving you tad bits of information. The end results of blush should be a slight color change to your skin hue and tone. The rule is a soft change that is not noticeable to the human eye, yet enough color to make you appear healthily. Here ends this tad bit of information I hope it was food for thought Serjame.
