Recovering from a long weekend? “Case of the Mondays?” Let Make Up First® Pro Shop help you look refreshed and look awake…even if you don’t feel like you are! Follow our 3 easy steps!

Step 1: Prep your Skin.

SPLASH some cold water on your face to WAKE UP!! Now that you are awake, lets go!

To refreshen your skin and tighten your pores, spritz your face with Embryolisse Rose Water. Next apply moisturizer! Can’t go wrong with Embryolisse Lait-Creme for your face and neck. With your finger of choice, gently pat eye cream on the delicate under-eye skin,using Embryolisse Soin Contour Des Yuex . Follow with your lip prep, applying Rosebud Salve to lock in moisture and add a glossy lip.

Step 2: Correct and Conceal.

Cover your dark circles with Eve Peal Corrector Duos, available in 4 shades (Fair/Light, Light/ Medium, Medium/Tan, and Tan/Dark, (available HERE). The Eve Pearl duos have two shades of salmon. Use the darker salmon color to color-correct blue/purple colored dark circles, and the lighter shade to brighten. For those fortunate individuals who do not suffer from dark under-eye circles, a less intense brightening try BECCA’s Under Eye Brightening Corrector, available HERE.

STEP 3: Open your Eyes.

No need to go all out. To open your eyes, simply curl your lashes, add liner, and mascara. These 3 quick steps will dramatically waken you up without adding extra time or unnecessary product. Our favorite lash curler is Tweezerman Pro Lash Curler, available HERE. For a quick and easy liner, use KEVYN AUCOIN’s Precision Eye Pencil Premitif; it is actually double-sided, with a smudger, changing what you started as a cat eye, into a beautiful smokey eye with one smudge. Finally, use KEVYN AUCOIN’s The Curling Mascara found HERE.

Let’s face it! Every year, we mourn the end of the warm, sunny days of summer.

At Make Up First ® Pro Shop, we can create the illusion of a never-ending summer.

Recreate the illusion of summer-kissed skin, with Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Bronzing Veil. This versatile bronzing powder contains two sections; in one section, the gold and copper micro-milled crystal pigments highlight; in the other, the warm matte bronzer sculpts and defines, as well as further provides a golden, flawless finish. Available in Dessert Days and Desert Nights.

With Kevyn Aucoin Matte Bronzing Veil, an ultra-fine powder with a velvety texture that adds bronzing glow to the skin, summer never ends! This multipurpose powder can be used for bronzing, highlighting, and sculpting. Gradated shades allow versatility for use on face and eyes. Formulated with nylon to promote “slip” for perfect, flawless application.

Don’t like to use just powders? Not to worry! BECCA Luminous Body Perfecting Mousse is an air-whipped cream-to-powder formula that adds warmth and luminosity with a soft-focused finish. The versatile formula contains crushed pearls (!) to smooth, prime and perfect the complexion, creating a beautiful subtle lit-from-within complexion. Oil-free and lightweight, this formula melts into the skin for a naturally luminous finish that lasts all day. Wear it alone, under or even over foundation to create your “summer glow.”
