Skincare Remedies From Your Kitchen Part 2

Sometimes achieving fabulous skin is as easy as opening your refrigerator or pantry and whipping up a quick concoction for your face or body. There are tons of recipes out there, sample a few and you’ll be sure to find some you’ll love. Try them once or twice a week and over time you will notice results.
Note: It is always best to test any new products on a small area of skin to check for sensitivity and allergies.

Papaya Facial For Acne
In a small bowl mash a few chunks of fresh papaya until spreadable and apply to clean skin. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse off with warm water. Pat dry and moisturize skin.

Banana Peel Acne Treatment
Eat 1 banana (wasting is bad) and rub the inside of the peel in small circular motions all over the face. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes, rinse off, pat dry and moisturize.

Olive Oil + Egg Yolk Hydrating Face Mask
Blend or beat one teaspoon of Olive oil with 2 egg yolks until completely combined. Apply to skin and cover with a warm towel, leave on for 5-10 minutes and rinse off with warm water. This mask is best done before bedtime. The egg yolks have Vitamin A that controls the shedding of the skin and makes it soft and smooth.

Coconut Oil Dry Skin Remedy
Coconut oil is a great moisturizer for the face and skin. It has sufficient amounts of fatty acid that make up for any loss of moisture from the skin. It works best if applied at bedtime and left on overnight. Massage it gently onto all dry areas and wash it off in the morning; repeat nightly.

Refreshing Green Tea Toner
This amazing toner is full of antioxidants which are very helpful to the skin. It works wonders on weary skin making it feel rejuvenated and refreshed. To make it you will need 1 cup of boiling water, 1 Green Tea teabag and a clean spray bottle.
Directions – brew the tea and when cool, add it to your spray bottle. Mist directly onto skin 1 to 2 times per day after cleansing. If the mixture feels too strong on the skin, you can dilute it to your liking.

Lemon Toner
This affordable and easy to make toner is perfect for oily and acne prone skin. Lemon is a natural astringent which can kill acne causing bacteria, strip skin of excess oils and even tighten large pores.
Directions – Use the ratio of 1:2 of fresh squeezed lemon juice to water. Add it to a clean spray bottle and spritz onto face 1 to 2 times per day after cleansing.

Bridal Series 1 – Romantic In Pink

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break. Today’s post is for all of you Brides out there or anyone for that matter who wants a soft romantic makeup look; it is very subtle yet the eyes are defined and the face has been concealed and corrected with a soft flush of colour on the cheeks and lips.

Strip lashes and under-lashes were used to enhance the eyes as my model did not have any lower lashes.

Getting Colourful

Hello beauties, welcome to Thea Makeup Artistry’s very first blog post!

Today I wanted to post a few photos from a fabulous fun shoot I did with Photographer Li Welch of Caylight  and Artist, Charrish Ferguson of Caicos Creatives on January 26th, 2014.

The shoot started out with our amazing model Nikeira. Here is a BEFORE photo so you can have an idea of the overall transformation as the shoot progressed.

In the AFTER photo below, you can see that all discolorations and acne scars have been covered and the skin tone has been evened out. This was accomplished by using Sacha Cosmetic’s Kamaflage Foundation which is a full coverage formula along with Revlon’s Colorstay Whipped foundation; I then set the makeup using Sacha’s Pressed Powder.

To “oomph” up the look, the following products were used:
Eyes – Inglot’s eyeshadows #369, #371, #315 and #328; MAC’s gel liner in Blacktrack and  L’oreal’s Telescopic Mascara
Brows – A combination of MAC’s brow pencil in Spiked and  Anastasia Beverly Hills brow powder in Taupe
Lips liner – MAC’s lip pencil in Mahogany
Lipstick – MAC’s Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Soft Sell combined with Revlon’s Matte Stormy Pink #011
No blush or contouring was done.
