Today’s Focus: Fresh spring Makeup Tutorial for Silver Beauties

This fresh spring makeup tutorial is part of my regular series of non-toxic makeup looks perfect mature skin and the video below offers a detailed step by step explanation.

This look was created especially for gray-haired beauties by Christy Coleman, Chief Artistic Officer and Product Developer at Beautycounter.

Christy is transitioning to gray, so she recently shared a tutorial dedicated to her fellow silver sisters, like me. I replicated the look after taking notes on her tutorial and posted my results on Instagram shortly after. Christy not only commented on my post, but also sent me a direct message telling me I did a great job and she can’t wait until her hair looks like mine. I felt like a celebrity! LOL. It’s the little things, right?

This is a much longer, more detailed tutorial than usual. Let me know what you think!

All Products used today for this fresh spring tutorial are non-toxic and cruelty-free.

For today’s fresh spring makeup tutorial:

SKIN PREP:

I prepped my skin with the Countertime Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence, which Christy describes as a facial in a bottle. It really is luxurious. It is applied after cleansing. . . just dispense a few drops into your palms and press into skin. I followed this with the Counter + All Bright C Serum. This is sunshine in a bottle- it brightens, adds radiance and evens skin tone. It also helps grip foundation, according to Christy.

MAKEUP IN ORDER OF APPLICATION:

  • Skin Twin Featherlight Foundation in light 230
  • Skin Twin Creamy Concealer in fair 2 for brightening and Light 1 for extra coverage.
  • Eyebrow pencil in medium
  • Color Pinch Cream Blusher in Caramel for contour, and lids 
  • All-Over Eye Brush for lid application
  • Color Pinch Cream Blusher in Hibiscus for cheek color 
  • Lengthening Mascara
  • Illuminating Cream Highlighter in Pearl Glow for cheek highlight, on Cupid’s bow, and center of eyelid
  • Color Outline Eye Pencil in Violet
  • Mattifying Powder for under eye, eyelid, tip of nose
  • Black Plum Lip Gloss

That’s it. I hope you like it. I love using contour now that I see how easy it is to accomplish. I always made a mess of it with powders.

Want to make some makeup changes but feel overwhelmed? 

I know makeup application can seem daunting and color selection can be challenging, so thankfully there are resources on the website to help, like the shade finder resource, and the Flawless in Five set, which is how I got started, walks you through foundation, concealer, blush, and gloss suggestions.  You can see my Flawless in Five picks here. 

 

Did you know I offer consultations?

I am happy to help anytime. Just reach out here or fill out the consultation form to get started.

I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory of course) which includes baking a bunch of chicken breasts, steaming several heads of broccoli, and making a pot of brown rice.

Every two weeks I’ll make clean muffins or bread for breakfast to shake things up a bit. I usually have a protein shake or a few scrambled egg whites and a banana or a piece of Ezekiel 7 sprouted grain bread (gluten free) as toast for breakfast, but sometimes I crave a baked good. 

When I have a muffin (or two) or slice of bread, I add a couple of scrambled egg whites on the side to make sure I have enough protein. 

➡️I’ll link to the recipes for these banana chocolate ship muffins and banana apple bread in my stories. 

Do you meal prep on Sundays as well?

🥳🚌🧑‍🎓💪🏻New year, new semester, 🥳🚌🧑‍🎓💪🏻New year, new semester, many new students, and feeling really well today.
My rosacea is even behaving. 🤣

I did go back to an anti-inflammatory diet after indulging in all the things over the holidays, so it makes sense that I am feeling better. Feeling optimistic anyway. 

🎉I don’t want to jinx it, but what a great way to ring in 2022!

❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and ❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and friends in Cooperstown, NY (and a record snowfall outside), I married my best friend and soulmate. 

I love reflecting on that day and the many beautiful memories we’ve made since then.

Our photographer was the photographer from the National Baseball of Fame and he used several antique cameras to capture our special day.

I wish you all a beautiful day filled with love and time for relaxation. 🥰

Scroll through to see some of my favorite decor over here, like our trees selected specifically to highlight our collection of @crosbyandtaylor ornaments, our Christmas card board for all of our cards over the years on top and those we’ve received from others this year below, and a little something worth celebrating: our first homemade cannoli. Thank you, @preppykitchen for the guidance. We had fun with it. 

It has been a very hard week, which I will share more about later, but we tried to keep things as normal as possible for our kiddo. 

🕊Peace be you.
