Watch It WEDNESDAY! Mineral Pigment for Beginners Demo!

What is the difference between Eye Pigment and Eye Shadow?



Well basically they are the same idea with a bit of difference.  It all boils down to personal preference. 

 In What?  How much time do you have to spend on your makeup?  Do you like Soft colors or more Vivid colors?  Does messiness bother you?  Do you use your products for more than one purpose (multi-tasking?)


Eye Shadows are usually in pressed form that 
you glide an applicator across.  

Eye Pigments are loose powder pigment that 

are mainly applied with a brush.


Pigments tend to be pure color.  They can be a bit overwhelming at first, but
once you practice and get the hang of it, there are so many things you can do.  
Beyond eye shadow color, they can be added to Lip Glosses and Nail Polish to 
form a custom color.  They may be blended with other mineral pigments to make 
specific shades for your eyes, nails, etc..  They can be applied like a Bronzer, a Blush, 
or straight onto the lips as a Lip Color.  They are easy to use as Hair Chalk or even to 
be used as wet or dry for many things including Face Painting.  They can be added to 
your Foundation as a light highlight.  They can be used in any way your mind imagines.
Shadows can be used for many of the same ideas, but they take time to loosen and scrape. 
Usually they contain more fillers and components.  They typically are not as messy as Pigments.  

Personal preference!  We all have our likes and dislikes!

7 Ideas for a better "Photo Opp" Picture ...(not just a Selfie)



A LOT of us despise having photos taken of ourselves even though we'd like to capture the fun moments with friends and family!  In this day of cell phone cameras, here are a few hints to take the hesitation away.






1) Move your face forward

Stretch your neck and move your face forward away from your shoulders.   Now tip your chin down... You might feel a bit silly!  Why should I do this?  If you are like me, you don't like to look as if you have a double chin!  It makes everything look more streamlined and slim.  It makes your neck look longer and your jaw more defined.


2) Move your hair away from your face

Simply tucking your hair behind your ears or styling it up and away from your face makes you look less tired and your cheekbones appear higher.  You spent enough time making your eyes look gorgeous, so don't let your hairstyle swallow them up!





3) Show your good side

We all have our favorite attributes about our faces.  Rarely does a full on face photo give us the most flattering pose.  (Unless you have a professional Makeup Artist, A Professional Photographer and a Lighting Expert!) An off center picture is more intriging, more flirty.  That goes for photos taken above rather than below your face.  Shadows add depth and mystery...


4) Wind blown, healthy looking hair helps

Have you even noticed that realistic hair is not perfect hair?  Unless you are posing for a Corporate Photoshoot, leave the helmet head at home.  Hair should move, so try not to stage it in place with too much product.  You'll only dull your hair.  Movement in hair is natural.  Use it to your advantage!


5) Don't go (too far) into the light!

We all know that natural light is best, but if you are at a party or event, chances are you'll be inside.  If that is the case, try to find some indirect light.  Avoid standing right beneath or in front of strong beams of lights where the shadows will cast unflattering shadows (under your eyes especially).  





6) Wear a touch of Color when doing your makeup...

Do your best not to be too heavy with foundations or concealers that day.  Practice beforehand.  Being too "made up" is a harsh look.  Again, it makes it too staged.  Skintone appears paler in photos when flash is used.  Don't worry about a porcelain complexion to set your makeup, that should be left to the art of contouring and highlighting . Doing a bit of contouring and highlighting makes your complexion look more 3 dimensional, less pale, more youthful.   And don't be afraid of a little lip gloss or color!  Neutral or dark Matte shades can age you or detract from your look.  Nudes will make your lips become lost, Dark Matte might overpower your eyes.  I choose eyes over lips as a focal point every time!


7) Money or Cheeeeesssse

Try saying "money".  It gives your lips a nice little "natural" lift at the corners of your mouth that looks a lot softer than "Cheeeeeese".   Or try this!  Gently press your tongue against the back of your teeth when you smile.  If you have a tendency to smile a little too hard, this little trick prevents your smile from turning into a "cheese-y grin!".


More hints? 

 Take photos before you've had too much to drink.  Make sure your clothing is not "Over" exposing more than you'd like to share.  Remember that these photos ~ taken in the digital age we live in~ will be out there for everyone to google...  and you will be immortalized ~FOREVER~!

Lynn's Lash Envy ‎Tuesday Tip 

Have you ever used a Blending Bud?  

I have to admit I have not and I didn't even 
know how to use them!!


You may have heard of or have tried "Beauty Blenders" 
--which are the newest and greatest Beauty Tool. In this video from one of 
my favorite Younique Presenters, Victoria Velasco, I learned some 
simple application tricks for a seemingly flawless looking foundation!


What are the qualifications for earning the 

1. Your party has to start and end in the month of January! 
2. You can earn 1 set of 2 Blending Buds with a 5,000 point party or 
3 sets of 2 Blending Buds with a 10,000 point party! 



I received a quick note today from Younique Corporate and they 
gave us this very quick Tip to share!!

After saturating your Blending Bud in water and squeezing out excess moisture with a towel, dip one Blending Bud in BB Flawless or Mineral Touch Cream Foundation and sweep it back and forth on your hand before dabbing it on your face. Thinning the makeup out on your hand helps you blend to perfection for flawless coverage.


Blending Buds are a special pre-release item from the 
March–August 2015 catalog. You can get your own set by 
hosting 
a qualifying Virtual Party in January. Read more about 
the Blending Buds 
or contact me on Facebook!

It's BLUE Friday!!!  #GOHAWKS

Call me shameful, I don't care.. but after being married to my hubby, Mike (Mr. P for those of you who know him...), for 25 years and watching the HAWKS for 25 years... I have to give a HIGH FIVE to the AWESOMENESS of the Seahawks, the Integrity of the players and coaches, the Positive influences they have on the local community they serve and the LEADERSHIP examples that live daily--which is so important to our children today!  

No matter how you feel about your own personal team or your opinion of other teams... Football is an American Sport--the closest thing to battle a lot of us ever want to experience. Sometimes I liken it to the historical battles between the Scottish Clans!  If you have watched Braveheart, The Outlander, The Highlander and many others than you'll know what I am talking about....

That may be a bit dramatic, so let's get back to the purpose of this BLOG!  

Be DRAMATIC in your own Team Spirit with our Fab-U-Lash Moodstruck Mineral Pigments!

We have combinations for every team out there..whether NFL, MLB, Collegiate, Local High School teams or even your Little League or soccer teams..we have colors to suit your Team Spirit!

But today I have to highlight our

So Many ways to show your support!!


Great for kids and even MEN!!!


Hair Chalk!  Easy to apply and Easy to WASH OUT!

And then for the 12th LADIES out there....

We only get ONE Face in our Lifetime! 

 Moisturizing is so important, especially in the fall & winter seasons!  


Nature meets Science!
Nutrition for your Skin!


Moisturizer is one of the most important steps as we age. Hear from our own scientist the simple hows and whys.. Divine Daily Moisturizer is perfect for ALL Skin types! 


Younique's Divine Daily Moisturizer is one of our NEWEST Products designed to make your 
Beauty routine streamlined,all inclusive and easily adaptable.  

Divine is such a versatile product.  Use either after our Uplift Eye Serum or before your Uplift Eye Serum (It's your personal preference!)  Mix it into your liquid or cream foundations to make a version of your own light shaded moisturizer.  AND I have found that if I have a dry spot on my face, I can gently pat it on over my makeup (even my Powder Foundation!) to help sooth and moisten.



Released on September 1, 2014, our NEW Uplift Eye Serum is 
TOP of the line, 
Made in the USA (as is Divine!) 
and flying off of our shelves!  

But don't listen to me, hear it from 
our corporate scientist, Mukhtar Siddiqui.

Smart Party has tools to help you grow your business!!  

In 2015 Smart Party will have more tools for you. We are here to help you grow your own Companies. We have Live Parties, Month long Parties, Recruiting Parties, Raffles and Fundraisers Parties,  and Classes.   

We have a full Marketing Department, and a Creative Design Team. 

Join us in 2015 for a fun year of Smart Party fun.


I am guilty of this!!


I know, the last thing I should do is sleep in my makeup!  

It makes me a hypocrite, doesn't it??!


Most of the time I wear my 3D Fiber Lashes for 
2 days IN A ROW!  
Even if I do take off my makeup at night 
(like I am suppose to!!)  


The reason came to me because I use to be a Lash Extensionist... You don't go to ALL that trouble to have Lash Extensions put on to wash them every night and risk breaking the glue bond that is adhering the extension to your natural eyelash.  You Lash Extensionist gives you instructions as to how to care for them.  They teach you how to wash around them. 
After all, if you don't need to use Mascara with your 
"New Lashes" you would still like to wear shadows to emphasize them.  




I applied the same principal to my 3D Lash Mascara!!  As long as you are not a "face sleeper", this theory should work really well for you.  It helps when you are traveling, camping, if you have to make a quick midnight trip to the grocery store, to wake up and face the other Moms who are getting their kids out the door on the way to carpool to school.  
This method is not harsh on your own lashes (in my opinion) because our 3D Lash Mascara is naturally based.  Isn't it funny that with all the chemicals and fillers in regular mascara, you should imagine that it would last through a simple task as sleeping!  

I was already in LOVE with the 3D Mascara, but this TEST was the reason I decided to shut down my Lash Extension business!  

3D Lash Mascara could fit most any of my clients needs.  


I don't take credit for the graphic.  A fellow Younique Sister (Thanks Crystal!) had it posted and these are her own words... 

"Does anyone else forget to take makeup off before bed? I do it more often than I care to admit. Luckily I can freshen my face in about 30 seconds by just applying one coat of Younique transplanting gel. Not even more fibers! (I don't condone the abuse of your face by not removing your war paint at night lol)."

Try it!  You'll really like the freedom and the cost effectiveness!

Counterfeit vrs Authentic Makeup

We have all thought about purchasing cosmetics, clothing, and other name brand Look-Alike items online. Many people would be tempted if the price is dramatically lower than what is available in the stores or a websites. Fakes and knock-offs are rampant and can pose a serious threat to your health. Many products that are knock-offs contain harmful toxins. 

 Younique's  goal is to provide healthy, clean, and pure cosmetics.
