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.

Avon’s Cashmere Complexion Compact Powder Foundation Makes Achieving Flawless Looking Skin Very Fast and Easy!

Avon's Cashmere Complexion Compact Powder Foundation makes achieving flawless looking skin very fast and simple. — **I’m Singing This Foundation’s Praises Again!**

Hello my beautiful friends! Jfay here, from my makeup studio, getting in the groove for Spring! How about you? Getting Spring Fever and ready for some fabulous adventures? I know I am!

And when I’m ready to head out for fun adventures, I certainly do not want to be taking all day to put my face together. I like to look fabulous without having to take take a million steps or use a ton of product. I’m sure you most likely feel the same way.

That’s why I keep singing the praises of my very favorite foundation that simplifies my beauty routine tremendously. For me it’s like a concealer, primer, color corrector, foundation, and powder all in one convenient compact. It’s Avon’s new FMG Cashmere Complexion Compact Powder Foundation.

The formulation is just about magical. You can use it damp or dry. I usually do both, but either way, it always helps me look so much better.

Here’s how my flawless skin look starts out:

Applying Avon's Cashmere Complexion Compact Powder Foundation. — **Amazing How This Transforms My Skin**

Not so flawless looking. I have quite a bit of unevenness and redness, but not for long! I already began applying my foundation to one side of my face here with a damp sponge. This compact comes with it’s own awesome sponge, and I use that for my dry application.

You can see as I’m applying this under my eye how it’s covering up the redness.

Applying Avon's Cashmere Complexion Powder Foundation. It's great as an eyeshadow primer. — **Cashmere Complexion Powder Foundation**

I use this powder foundation on my eyelid area as well. It’s great as a primer. This is literally the only product that I use on my face to achieve flawless looking skin. I have shown you the Cashmere Complexion Concealer that I have used as well, but most days I do not have to use that at all with this powder foundation. It evens my skin-tone, the redness is gone, my eyelids are primed for eyeshadow, I just love it!

Avon's Cashmere Complexion Powder Foundation can be used damp or dry or both. — **Cashmere Complexion Compact Powder Foundation – Use it Damp or Dry or Both**

Looking better already! I’m now going over my face with the dry sponge that comes with the compact. I sometimes wait to do this till after I’ve applied the rest of my makeup to clean up any eyeshadow spillage or tone down my blush.

But you can see that my skin looks much more even now after applying the powder foundation with my slightly damp sponge. It is not cakey at all and to me looks very natural. There is a great color chart to follow to find your perfect shade – You can find it here (Just click on the color chart pictures to enlarge them). My shade is C110 Cool/Light with rosy undertone. It’s also known as Shortcake!

I hope you find your perfect Foundation/Skin Tone match and give this a try for yourself.

Before and After – Anew Charcoal Mask Date Night

Hey Everyone! It’s me, Jfay, if you don’t recognize me!

I thought I’d give the new Anew Neutralize Anti-Pollution Charcoal Mask a try-out last night. My skin has been feeling a bit irritated as of late, and when I read that this mask is very soothing to irritated skin, I knew this was for me. This is so awesome, it’s a mask in a stick. It’s formulated with charcoal and kaolin clay. It glides on so smoothly and easily. No need to dampen your skin. Just begin with a clean dry face, then smooth this on wherever you think you need it. This is very cooling going on – it’s really nice. And also a lot of fun!

You just simply let it sit for about 10 minutes and then you’re ready to rinse. I used a soft wash cloth to take it off. It was a white cloth, but not to worry, it all washed out with soap and water. My skin felt sooooo good afterward. So cool and refreshed. I was truly amazed. My skin felt revitalized. It’s like a mini spa treatment. The charcoal and kaolin clay absorb toxins, oil and impurities.

Here are the 2 Anti-Pollution products that I’ve tried. The Charcoal Mask Stick, and I also received a sample size of the Anti-Pollution Serum. You use this before your moisturizer. It’s formulated with botanical extracts like Matcha, Ginger and Amla to help protect your skin from environmental stressors and visible signs of pollution-induced aging.

Avon says:

It’s time to get skin smart. With our Anew Neutralize Anti-Pollution Collection, your skin can now be 4X more resistant to pollution—aka dirt, dust, smoke and smog. All of these pesky pollutants contribute to the look of dull skin, clogged pores, age spots and wrinkles. Our anti-pollution squad was designed as your invisible shield of protection, helping to keep skin looking healthy, fresh and youthful.

Us Weekly just called our new street smart, skin smart line “the secret to anti-aging”

That’s so fabulous! And this line is so fabulous!

And now I am feeling awesome and ready to head out for my date night with Hunky Hubby. And of course I am wearing all my favorite Avon makeup products.

For my foundation I absolutely love Avon’s Flawless Cream-To-Powder Foundation. My shade of choice is Creamy Natural. I need to order more actually, and it’s on special right now for $9.99 (regular price $14.00). It comes in a nice mirrored compact and has it’s own applicator sponge.

I also love using Avon’s Flawless Mattifying Powder. It is lighter than the powders I used to use, so it gives me a more youthful finish – Not too heavy and powdery.

And you cannot go wrong with Avon’s True Color Luminous Blush. The color I’m wearing is Rose Luster. This also comes in a nice mirrored compact, as does the Mattifying Powder. And these products are both on special right now too.

And I just got a new Eyeshadow palette called Steel Blues. I really love it. You can see I’ve also used it for my eyeliner. The applicator is great and has an end that you can use for lining. This selection is a multi-finish quad and is also on special. A great time to get all your makeup basics, hey?

I finished my eye look with my very favorite Mascara – Love at First Lash! This mascara is terrific. It is formulated with Vitamins A, C and E to condition your lashes, plus olive oil and lycopene to strengthen lashes. And it goes on great. 2 applications and my lashes are looking stand-out great! Easy to wash off too – I love that.

Then for my lips — I lined and filled in with my favorite Pomegranate Glimmersticks Lip Liner and then tried a new True Color Nourishing Lipstick Sample I have called Candy Red. I usually go for Plums, but I really like this Red. I think I can wear this one very well. That’s why I love Avon’s Lipstick Samples so much – I can try colors I may not usually try in full size.

And that’s it! From a revitalizing charcoal mask to a finished makeup look, quick, easy, and fun, all thanks to the fabulousness of Avon. Then out the door for a fun night out with my sweet Coyote Willie. I enjoyed my favorite bacon burger, Willie had chicken fajitas, and we both enjoyed a cold beer – Hooray!

Before I close, I wanted to let you know that Avon has a new Free Gift offer up for this week. You receive a free Anew Reversalist Night Cream with any $50 order using the code : SEPTFREE. This includes free shipping as well.

Also — this is really awesome — Avon is having a pre-launch special on their new fragrance Live Out Loud. I’ve told you all about this very pretty new perfume in a previous post. You can get a bottle of it now during C21 for only $25.00! Use code: LIVE. This is only till October 1st. I’ll be sending my Free Sample Club a sample of this the first of October, so you can all give it a try.

Okay lovely friends, I shall close for now, but you know I’ll be back with more Avon goodness to share with you. Till then, stay fabulous and follow your joy!
