Before and After Makeover: Flawless Skin Makeup Look Part 3: A Radiant Finish

Before and After Makeover: Flawless Skin Makeup Look. Jfays Beauty Blog — It all begins with a great foundation

Hello gang! It certainly does begin with a great foundation.

We have now arrived at our final segment in the Flawless Skin Makeover Series. If you missed parts one and two, here are the links to those posts so that you can get caught up.

Flawless Skin Makeup Look Part 1: Cashmere Complexion

Flawless Skin Makeup Look Part 2: Skincare Before Makeup

For this segment, Part 3, I will show you what I use to give my face a radiantly youthful glow. And, since all of Avon’s makeup will be hugely discounted (up to 50% off) in their Annual Makeup Sale (C.22, beginning Sept. 29th), I thought I’d show you all the products I use to complete my look.

The first thing I always do after applying my foundation, is the brows.

Tattoo Station Brow Pencil for great brow definition. From Avon. Jfays Beauty Blog — Tattoo Station Proof Brow Pencil

Avon’s new Tattoo Station Proof Brow Pencil is my favorite go-to, must-have pencil for my eyebrows. It goes on so easily and has a light touch. It is a cream-to-powder pencil so it does not create harsh pencil lines. You can see how it beautifully fills in my brows. I am always truly amazed at the transformation I can easily and quickly achieve using this Tattoo Station Brow Pencil. And bonus, it’s waterproof. I was at my hair stylist just a while back and she accidently splashed a little water on my forehead area. I was momentarily concerned about my brows washing off – haha!, but alas, they were just fine. So, yeah, waterproof, thank goodness. This brow pencil is listed for $7.00 in my Avon store. Original price is $10.00 (C.22 (Sept. 29th) sale price will be $5.59). There are 6 shades to choose from. My shade is Dark Gray. Love it! Okay, next, we’re ready to apply eyeshadow and lipstick.

Using Avon's fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Palette Vixen and Avon's Glimmer Satin Lipstick — Glimmer Eyeshadow in Vixen & Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Hibiscus

You can see that I love a dramatic eye, so I’m definitely loving Avon’s new Glimmer Eyeshadow Quads. I own 4 of them now. The one I’m demonstrating for this look is called Vixen. It has a glimmery silver, a couple of glimmery steel grays, and a dark gray. I did a demo of this eyeshadow palette just a while back using mainly the bluish-gray tones, but this time I only used the silver and dark gray, so I’ve been able to achieve 2 different eyeshadow looks from this one palette already. Earlier this week I used the Vixen palette plus a shimmery gold from the Goddess palette for this Fall look. Navy is on trend for Fall this year. So excited for that.

Wearing fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Palettes Vixen and Goddess from Avon. Pixie Style Natural Gray Hair Style. Hocus Pocus T-shirt and Avon Jewelry. — Vixen + Goddess Glimmer Eyeshadow Quads

The fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quads are listed in my Avon store for $11.99. Original price is $15.00. Sale price in C.22 will be $9.99 per palette.

And for my lipstick, I’m wearing Avon’s Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Hibiscus. This lipstick is so awesome. It’s light and creamy, and also has great coverage and vibrant colors. For my Hocus Pocus look I’m wearing the shade Wildrose.

These are listed for $8.49, original price is $11.00. Sale price in C.22 will be $6.79.

And now the finishing touches to my Flawless Skin Makeup Look.

fmg True Love Glow Beads and Magix Dust Finishing Powder from Avon. Jfays Beauty Blog Makeover — It’s a Kind of Magix

To complete my makeup look and give my face a youthful radiant glow, I’ve been using Avon’s True Love Multi Palette. There are 4 gorgeous shimmery shades in this palette. I just blend them together and sweep across my cheeks, forehead and jawline areas. This palette is now on final sale for $16.00, original price was $32.00. If you happen to miss this particular palette, Avon now has fmg Color of Love Glow Beads Illuminating Powder that can be used for a glowing complexion as well. These are priced at $24.00, original price is $30.00, and will be $19.19 in C.22.

And for the piece de resistance and my secret weapon for a glowing flawless complexion – Magix Dust Finishing Powder. I cannot brag enough about this wonderful wonder powder. It’s made from crushed minerals. It’s very light, it’s actually light diffusing, it blurs pores and fine lines, and helps control shine. This gives my face an overall glow. I receive a lot of compliments about my skin, and you see how it begins. It’s not easy for me to show myself without makeup, but I believe the pictures can show you much more than I can just simply tell you.

Avon takes me from this to this, very easily, very simply, because their products are truly fantastic.

The Magix Dust Finishing Powder is listed for $13.99, original price is $17.00. Sale price in C.22 will be $11.19. The shade I’m wearing is Translucent Fair-Light.

And of course, as always, my favorite mascara is Love at First Lash. This is my favorite mascara ever. It is available in a water proof formulation as well. It is listed for $11.99, original price is $15.00, and will be listed for $9.99 in C.22.

We cannot forget Cashmere Complexion Longwear Foundation. It is listed for $24.50, original price is $32.00. In C.22 it will be $19.99. And Cashmere Complexion Compact Powder Foundation. It is listed for $30.00, original price is $36.00. In C.22 it will be listed for $24.00. I cover these 2 fabulous foundations in Part 1 of this series: Cashmere Complexion.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this Flawless Skin Makeup Look Makeover journey. I’ve enjoyed sharing my beauty routine with you.

Be sure to stay tuned for Campaign 22’s huge makeup sale. It’s a great time to get re-stocked with fresh makeup for the Fall and try some new colors in lipstick and eyeshadows too.

Till next time, stay fabulous and follow your joy, always!

Before and After Makeover: Flawless Skin Makeup Look Part 2: Skincare Before Makeup Application

Rice Water Bright Facial Cleanser and Isa Knox Anew Collagen Booster from Avon for satin smooth skin. — Your Skincare Before Makeup Application is Very Important to Your Finished Look

Foundation makeup is one thing, but our actual foundation begins with our skin. Beautiful skin is deeper than the surface level. Real beauty starts with how we nourish our skin. Adding fresh fruits, veggies, and of course water to our diet is always a great idea (You know, what I call pretty food!). Getting good beauty sleep is also fabulous for skin (and those gorgeous eyes), but today we’ll focus on pampering and prepping our outer skin before applying makeup.

Cleansing our skin properly is one of the most important basic steps. It really does matter what product(s) we choose to cleanse with. We want to pamper our skin with moisturizing products that are soft and gentle, and help our skin look and feel it’s very best. There are 2 Avon facial cleansers that I adore and use every day. They are both Rice Water Bright Cleansers. One is Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser, and the other is Rice Water Bright Rice Bran Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser. These are super luxurious. Here are Avon’s brief descriptions for both:

Rice water, the milky white water obtained from rinsing rice, is enriched with vitamins A, B and E, ceramide and minerals to help skin feel moisturized and look radiant. Our foaming cleanser produces a whipped cream-like texture that softly glides onto the skin to effectively remove makeup residue while moisturizing

Step up your skin care routine with this daily facial scrub, made with organic rice bran powder, rice bran oil and hydrated silica for gentle exfoliation. Removes impurities and helps skin feel soft and look fresh and radiant.

I keep my Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser on my bathroom sink to use every morning. I keep the Rice Water Bright Rice Bran Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser in my shower to use in the evenings. The gentle exfoliating is great for removing makeup and impurities from the day. The Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser is perfect for gently cleansing and pampering my face in prep for makeup application.

Now, when I desire a deeper exfoliation for satin smooth skin, I always use Isa Knox Anew Collagen Booster Microneedling Polisher. I know that may sound scary, but it is just a denser exfoliating formulation, and honestly, my skin feels soooo soft after using this, it is truly remarkable. I know my makeup is going to go on beautifully when my skin is super smooth. I follow my Polisher with an Isa Knox Collagen Booster Rejuvenating Serum Ampule. These are incredible, and feel like soft velvet going onto my skin. It’s an absolutely beautiful sensation, and my skin feels absolutely beautiful. This routine can be done several times during the week, and I like to make sure to use this duo at night before a photo shoot, or special occasion, so I can look my most vibrant best.

Another tip for super smooth skin, is shaving the peach fuzz off your face before applying moisturizer and makeup. A smooth surface will always provide a smoother finished look. I use those little hair trimmers for women’s facial hair removal. It only takes a couple of minutes, and always makes a big difference.

Next up, Moisturizing and Soothing.

Physiogel Moisturizers for dry, sensitive skin and Green Goddess CBD Facial Oil to soothe your skin. — Moisturize and Soothe Your Skin

Okay, now that we’re all cleansed, exfoliated, and smoothed, let’s get moisturized and soothed. Your skin is going to love you so much, and reward you with looking super gorgeous!

Now, my evening moisturizing routine is a bit different than my daily for-makeup moisturizing routine. I’ve been using the super luxurious Mission Luxereve line lately. Oh my goodness, you’ll definitely want to try this! I’ve blogged about this recently, but for today, I’m going to share my other favorite skincare line from Avon called Physiogel. If you have dry sensitive skin like me, you are going to fall in love instantly. These formulations are so gentle and soothing, and are great for wearing under makeup. They have different formulations to choose from. Right now I’m using the Physiogel Calming Relief Cream and the Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Lotion. The Calming Relief Cream feels so good, and it is a richer formulation than the lotion. Creamier. I love them both and usually will put the cream on my face and use the lotion on my neck and chest area, and then come back up my neck to my face area with it. These are unscented and probably the gentlest facial moisturizers I’ve ever used.

Now, if I happen to have any especially ruddy areas on my face, I use my super hero serum, Green Goddess, called the solution that soothes.

Here is Avon’s description for you:

Revitalize your skin with Green Goddess, a topical oil with 100mg of CBD and other plant-based ingredients like hemp seed oil, squalane oil and turmeric. This nutrient-enriched formula provides a calm and relieving feeling, making it the refreshing last step to both morning and nighttime skin care routines.

I’ve been using this for quite a while now, and love it. I can wear this under my makeup, no problems. It is a dry oil and goes into the skin very well.

BENEFITS
• Dry oil for easy absorption
• Suitable for sensitive skin
• Reduces redness and helps soothe irritation
• Rich in omega fatty acids and vitamin E
• Ultra-pure and sustainably sourced
• Fragrance-free
• Vegan
• Hypoallergenic
• Dermatologist-tested

I also like to use this after my microneedling polishing routine/collagen serum ampule duo. Sometimes my face can get some red splotchy areas afterward and Green Goddess is perfect for this. I am then ready to sleep my restful beauty sleep knowing my skin is going to be beautifully refreshed for the next day.

I hope you’ll stay tuned for part 3 in this Before and After Makeover Flawless Skin Makeup Look Series. Next up is Completing the Makeup Look for a Radiant Finish.

They arrived in really fun packaging, as you can see above.

Look how pretty! I love the glittery lipstick tube – and the little Disco ball is tha bomb!

The Be Bold Lipstick I ordered is Power Pink (#853-623). There are also Plum Perfect and Rule in Red available in this glittery tube. These are a creamy matte lipstick, and the list price is $9.00 each.

The Own the Dance Floor Lip Balm is a lip conditioning balm and has a light tropical scent. This lists for $4.00 (#854-137). I like that it comes on a chain – great to put on my keychain, or attach to my purse.

While you’re visiting and picking out your favorite Be Bold Lipstick color choice, be sure to check out Avon’s How-To’s Category with loads of beauty tips, including How To Find Your Best Lipstick.

It’s really fun. You can find the best lipstick for you by benefit, like hydrating, long-wearing, or plumping. You can look by finish – would you like a matte, satin, sheer, or shimmer?
