The Virtual Makeover Option on www.marykay.com

When was the last time you tried the virtual makeover option on www.marykay.com/your consultant??
I always tell my clients about it all the time, I have several stylists that even use my website if a client is looking at a major change in hair style, length, or color so they don't make a mistake! But....... I hadn't played around with it for quite a long time. Since I have been considering a color/cut change (drastic)- I decided to take my own advice and took a current head shot and uploaded it to marykay.com and.... well several hours later, with 100 new looks, I have no clue which way I am going to go and found tons of lip colors, eye combos I may have never tried. It was so much fun. Consultants, clients, don't miss out - make sure you take advantage of this great tool that is available to us and... it is tons of fun!

Can't wait for my appointment with my stylist next week!

Application Techniques

I tested out two new application techniques I'd heard about and am sharing my results.

First: mineral powder foundation applied with a damp foundation brush. Those big flat brushes, not the fluffy ones. A light spritz of water on the brush works; pat off excess water on back of hand. pick up some of your MK minerals and brush onto skin. Do a second application in any reddened/discolored areas that need extra coverage.

To my surprise, this really works. I do not look chalky; I look perfect and airbrushed! I will continue doing this.

Second: Even and perfectly blended cream blush applied with flat top mineral powder brush. Tap your flat top MK brush a couple times on your cream blush, then apply blush to cheeks, buffing in circles. It looks like such a natural flush! No patting with fingers, no difficulty getting it even. Just clean your brush on tissue afterwards.

Consultants, if you're looking for something new to show your established clients, try teaching them these techniques. They'll be surprised how well this works. I was skeptical until I tried it out.

Weekend Humor

This is just too good not to share.. most of us remember Miranda was not a fan of MK in the beginning but is a person that is willing to revisit and keep an open mind on matters... she has fallen in love with many mk products.. I assure you I do not hound, stalk, pressure, bribe, or give away my products.. She has even ordered product BEFORE I have had them on the shelf and will give honest feedback.
Her last email request just had me chuckling so much I wanted to share it with everyone and with her permission... enjoy your chuckle for the weekend!

This is the time of year to keep the feet looking nice. And it takes constant upkeep when you beat the hell out of them in stripper shoes 3 times a week!

Limited-ed. lipstick review

Limited Edition: Beauty that Counts Lipsticks in Confidence, Inspiration, and Compassion

I bought one of each. LOVE LOVE LOVE and I wish these colors were permanent. Especially the two darker ones. The color is just so rich and lush and flattering. And the pink is wearable. Doesn't look like your lips are coated with cake icing. It has a little shimmer, just enough to shine. The other two are cream colors. Also, the lipstick tube is super nice. I like the texture of the tubes as well. It's matte with words imprinted.

Buy now before your consultant runs out of them!
