Spring Makeup Tips

If you find it challenging to apply your makeup so that it goes on smoothly, looks natural, and makes you face radiate, it might not be your makeup, but the condition of your skin. Follow these simple steps to achieve flawless makeup application in just a few simple steps.

Daily Night Regiment

Step 1:Cleanse at night to remove oil and dirt that has built up during the day. Many people skip the evening, but it's essential to remove the buildup of oil and dirt that accumulate throughout the day. Most cleansers come in two forms: normal-to-dry and normal-to-oily. Be sure to purchase the one that best meets your skin condition. If you have problem skin you should consult your dermatologist.

Step 2: Apply your moisturizer. Yonka Mask for an extra boost of moisture before special events; to give your skin added moisture and an extra glow. If your skin doesn't need extra moisturizing, just use a moisturizer formulated for your skin type.

Step 3: Apply Phyto Contour to you skin to drain the puffiness and help reduce the redness under your eyes. Remember to get enough sleep and drink plenty of water.

Daily Morning Regiments

Step 1: Start by using a quality facial cleanser.

Step 2: Apply toner. On the show, Use a light mist of the Yonka lotion all over the face and neck -- patting it in lightly with fingertips. This adds additional moisture to the skin's surface prior to applying your foundation.

Step 3: Apply a light layer of facial moisturizer to your skin with a sponge and your fingertips. Use Yonka Pamplemousse, which protects and brightens the skin's surface -- it contains grapefruit and essential oils. Be sure to choose a moisturizer that is specifically designed for your skin type.

Step 4: Apply a quality foundation. Make sure you have the correct shade -- blend a little bit on the side of your hand to get a very close match. And make sure you do this in a well-lit area so you get a true picture. Or get a person at a makeup counter to advise you. Don't buy online unless you've tried the product before.
