Shadows for your Eye Color!

As they say, the eyes are the window of the soul, so highlight your eyes if they are your best feature. The trick is to match your shadow to your complexion, not your clothes. Certain shadows, work for you and against you depending on your eye color. A great make up line I would recommend would be Mirabella. Mirabella makes an alluring array of intense shimmer, sheen and matte pressed mineral eye shadows. Available in 36 shades. Below I've listed my recommendations based on your eye color.

Blue: To make those baby blues shine, wear brown, plum, gold, peach or grey colour eye shadow.

I personally love Mirabella Eye Colour, because of there great colors, and they have the perfect amount of shimmer, that highlight your eyes. If you want to make those baby blues stand out I would suggest Semiformal, Vintage, Decor, Guava & Steel Eye Colour by Mirabella.

Green/Hazel: to make green or golden eyes stand out, combine it with a deep purple eye colour.

For Hazel or Green eye colors, I recommend Cultured or Hydrangea Eye Colour by Mirabella. They are both shades of purple, Cultured is a deep purple, while Hydrangea is a lighter shade of Lavender.

Brown: Brown eyes are more difficult to match with depending on your complexion, but you can never go wrong with green or bronze eye colour.

Personally I have brown eyes, and I hate the fact that anytime I pick a color I don't like the way they make my eyes look. But after trying some of Mirabella's Eye Colour on, I do agree that for brown eyes you definitely can't go wrong with green or bronze. I Definitely think you ladies out there with brown eyes like me should try the Fortune, Sweet Pea, and Bitter Honey Eye Colour by Mirabella.

I know just reading about a color or a product isn't the same as seeing it, so if you want the proof just go to MissionBeautyOnline.com and Search for Mirabella's Eye Colour, where you can see the colors I recommend!

The Do’s and Don’ts for office-ready Beauty!

We all know that we need to be presentable at work. Wet hair, smudged eyeliner, and chipped nails are a definite No-no. Many of us struggle with the balance of being presentable and looking fabulous. Today, I’m going to list a few tricks that blend well in an Office environment, and make you look beautiful!

Tip 1: Don't shy away from color, especially when it comes to lipstick. Red lipstick looks right, even in a boardroom. Shy away from glosses and try a matte, creamy lipstick like Bellisima Lip Colour by Mirabella. A Perfect red mouth, with a bit of blush and a neutral eye shadow, always looks appropriate.

(Trick: to ensure the lipstick doesn't bleed, fill in your lips with a nude pencil before applying, I recommend the Lip Pencil by Colorescience.)


Bold makeup can work at the office, but some people shy away from the bold look. Simple makeup is never a bad idea, especially for meetings and impromptu luncheons.

Tip 2: With a swipe of moisturizer to make your skin shine, combine it with mascara, concealer, and a little blush adds just enough polish to your appearance to make you look fresh, and beautiful. A great mascara to try would be the Purelash Lengthening Mascara by Jane Iredale. This amazing mascara has added Dex-Panthenol to the formula in liposome form, so that with every swipe you add a conditioner to your lashes!

Hair, on the other hand, isn't always so simple. Some of us spend hours each morning blow drying, curling, ironing and teasing our tresses. For a perfectly sleek 'do, a professional blow dry--also known as a blowout--is worth the cash.

Tip 3: If you're weary about spending money on something you can do for yourself, invest in the Haute Mess Dry Shampoo by Hempz. This product instantly absorbs the oils in hair, and gives hair a soft, matte finish without caking.

(Trick: To give hair that extra oomph—just apply it at your roots all over your head and brush through.)

Just remember looking presentable for work, doesn't mean you have to look boring! Get the products I recommended at MissionBeautyOnline.com

Protecting your skin in the Winter Season

Winter season can be extremely stressful on your skin because of cold temperatures outside as well as humidity from being indoors. When you shift between the cold outside and the warm inside, the difference is so stressful on your skin that your skin naturally cannot balance itself quickly enough. The results of this combination cause loss of hydration, irritation, widened capillaries and redness; so just because its winter doesn’t mean that you stop taking care of your skin. Here at MissionBeautyOnline.com we have several lines that offer the best skin care products that you will need to treat your skin.

One product that I recommend is the Tropical Vanilla Sun Cream by Eminence; it has Natural SPF protection for all skins with broad spectrum UVA/UVB/UVC protection. It treats your skin with the protection of zinc in a UVA/UVB/UVC blocker specially designed for your face. It combines hydrating and revitalizing shea butter with the soothing aroma of vanilla to care for your skin with the defenses of natural SPF. The great thing about this product is that it hydrates and protects your skin.

Another great Eminence product is the Tomato Sun Cream SPF16; it works as a natural Sunscreen & Moisturizer. Its Benefits are listed below:

• Increases the level of moisture retention in the skin
• Full range of UV sun protection: UVA, UVB & UVC
• significantly reduces inflammation and darkening of the skin
• Supplies the skin with bioflavonoids and nutrients
• Helps to protect the skin from photo-aging
• Maintains and improves moisture levels
• Protects against environmental damage

But creams and moisturizers might not be enough protection during the winter season. Since most of us ladies cover our skin up with foundation and powders, and unfortunately some aren’t made to protect your skin. I would use the Sunforgettable Eyescreen by ColoreScience, a product recently featured in Shape Magazine.

Merciless sun rays are often to blame for breaking down the skin's elasticity and natural resistance around the eyes; leaving an already sensitive area even more prone to dreaded wrinkles and age spots. Protect, diffuse, and accentuate with Sunforgettable SPF30 Eyescreen.

The light pink powder plays tricks on the eyes, camouflaging dark circles and fine lines in just a few quick, magical strokes. Velvety in feel, Eyescreen brightens the eye area while concealing. Used alone or over other products Eyescreen will have you proclaiming, "EYE LOVE COLORESCIENCE!"

So Don't Forget to Check out these products at MissionBeautyOnline.com

How to Look your best this Holiday Season!

During the Holiday Season we all want to look our best, whether it’s a party or an everyday event. In today’s world of fashion, to be “in” is more than just having the right haircut or clothes. It’s also about how to wear your makeup. We all have different styles, and different goals on how we want to look. One holiday trend this year is a chic, deep dark lip. Plum, Raspberry, and Wine colors are recommended. But if you’re fair skinned like me, you might not like such a dark color for your complexion. But not to worry you can still be in style with a dark lip, not using the above colors. Instead of the dark purples, and dark maroons; I recommend Brick Reds and Dark Pinks.

Whether you prefer a stain, a gloss, or a lipstick; a dark lip balances perfectly between classic and sexy. It’s a look that can never go wrong, combine it with a Nude eye shadow makes for a classy everyday look. For a more glam look combine it with the never failing Smokey eye. Which ever is the look for you during the winter season, dark lips is a look that goes with every occasion. To choose the right look for you; you must first ask yourself am I a gloss, lipstick or stain kind of girl? Choosing between the three is somewhat difficult, but it really depends on what you’re looking for in your lip color. Below I have listed the benefits of all three.

Lip Gloss: You want to use lip gloss to give you lips more volume giving your lips a fuller look.

Lip Stick: You want to use lipstick to give your lips a thick creamy texture that both hydrates your lips, and give you longer wear and more coverage.

Lip Stain: You want to use a lip stain to tint your lips with smudge proof color and coverage that lasts all day.

We all have our preferences on our make-up but it’s good to sometimes switch it up for a new look. So whether you prefer a gloss to a lipstick, or you prefer a lipstick to a stain try something new, you just might be surprised. Once you decide on a lipstick, a stain or a gloss, you then ask yourselves what band to choose. I recommended three products that I believe you will love!

If you are looking for a stain I highly recommend the Pomegranate Crush Lip & Cheek Stain by Stila. It’s infused with a naturally staining pomegranate extract, so that it reads and reacts to your personal pH levels to create a personalized deep plum shade. Leaving your lips and cheeks with a youthful glow.

If you are looking for a Lip Gloss I would recommend the Cherry Sparkle Gloss by Jane Iredale. This gloss is shiny, soothing, protective- and let’s not forget super sexy! Jane Iredale’s tingly mint and ginger flavor plumps without chemicals. This gloss leaves you with lips that speak louder than words!

If you are looking for a Lipstick I would aim you toward Drama Queen by Mirabella. This lipstick gives you a Rich, high-pigment shade that goes on smooth and stays put with no bleeding.

To complete your look for a classy everyday look, I recommend the natural eye shadow palette by Stila. The Natural eye shadow palette is a beautiful collection of Stila's award-winning eye shadows in wearable, neutral shades for every skin tone that can be worn wet or dry. The palette also includes an exclusive Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel, a matte chocolate brown, and a 6-page look book with detailed how-to tips and tricks. If you’re looking for a look with a little more drama, I also recommend Girls on Film Smokebox Palette by Smashbox. This Palette will make your eyes Smolder like an A-list starlet with a sultry palette of dramatic shades, perfect for creating any smoky eye look.

Either way you’ll be looking sassy this Holiday Season!

Eye's Wide Open!

Most often the first thing a person looks at or into is the eyes, however its often the one thing that we neglect the most! I recently spoke with an estitician who gave me the downlow on why taking care of your eyes is a must!

Using anti-aging products daily is an effective way to maintain younger-looking skin. However, it’s important not to forget about your eyes. The delicate skin around your eyes is the most sensitive skin on your face—and the most susceptible to aging. The most important thing you can do for your eyes is apply an anti-aging/hydrating cream or serum on a daily basis. Applying a cream or a serum provides hydration and anti-aging benefits. These two things will help slow down your eyes from developing crows feet, wrinkles, and sun spots. If you're looking to hydrate the skin around your eyes, it is best to use an eye cream, this thicker consistency will supply more moisture to your eye area. For someone looking for an eye cream with less consistency a serum is the perfect choice. Serums are not as thick but still supply you with enough hydration and anti-aging benefits, just like a cream would.

So, by simply taking our advice and applying an eye cream or a serum on a daily basis can help prevent aging and keep your eyes hydrated and looking beautiful!

Beauty Do #1: Goodbye Helmet Head

No matter the trends, the less done your hair looks, the fresher you'll look. If you opt to curl your hair, finger comb out the curls to give it a natural wavy look.

Beauty Do #2: Contrasting

Play up your eyes or your mouth, never both or you risk looking too overly done. Nude lips and smokey eyes is a great look. Or you could go for the red lips and natural eyes.

                                                 

Beauty Do #3: Always Apply Sunscreen

I am sure you have heard this preached enough, but its so important! Sunscreen no matter the season is an important beauty must! If you can get into the habit of applying sunscreen daily, you will keep your skin looking younger...this is a great anti-aging tool!!!

If you don't want to bother with applying too many lotions, consider a tinted moisturizer with and SPF of at least 15.

Beauty Tip #4: Keep your nails manicured

Maintaining healthy nails is a must! There is nothing more feminine than a women with a nice manicure. You can keep it natural with neutral colors such as pale pinks or go the flirty route with bright colors such as red.
