In
your fifties every time when you look in the mirror you say to yourself:
"It is very important for me to make appointment for skin care,
make-up, stress relief and much, much more". My friend Emily
mentioned Maria’s Anti-Aging University where she studied skin care and
make-up. So – finally, I made my appointment with Maria.
When
I came to the Studio I was amazed of the tranquility of the place. The
atmosphere was quiet and setting was very elegant. "Maria has good
taste", I thought. I decided to start with "Art of Appearance
lessons", which consist of two sessions: first – the make-up
session and second – the facial exercise and color analysis session. Let
me share with you my wonderful experience. I am talking about lessons with
Maria. I filled out the application and, after a short consultation, Maria
started the first part of the lesson – make-up session.
"The
biggest asset we have in life" – Maria said – "are ourselves
and we must use it to its best advantage. How good looking we are is a
matter of how well we can present and package ourselves. Success in life
depends on how strong our presentation and how high the level of
conscientious about what happens around us, at that moment.
Today’s
session is about every day make-up. Let’s start our ten steps of
transformation."
-
MARIA
CLEANED MY FACE, PAT IT DRIED AND WIPED IT OFF WITH A PIECE OF COTTON
WITH TONER. ON MY DAMP SKIN SHE APPLIED SERUM
FOLLOWED BY THE SUNSCREEN,
DAY CREAM, EYE
CREAM.
-
MY
PIMPLES AND BROWN SPOTS WERE COVERED WITH A LITTLE BIT OF CONCEALER.
-
WHEN
MY SKIN WAS PROTECTED AND NOURISHED, MARIA APPLIED THE FOUNDATION
USING A SPONGE.
-
SHE
APPLIED LOOSE POWDER
ON THE TOP OF THE FOUNDATION USING THE SAME SPONGE.
-
NEXT
STEP WAS A CONCEALER FOR EYELIDS.
SHE USED NATURAL COLOR.
-
WHEN
THE TIME CAME TO APPLY THE COLORS MARIA STARTED WITH EYEBROWS USING A
LIGHT BLOND PENCIL
WITH BRUSH. IT HELPED FIX MY BROWS TO A NICE SHAPE.
-
SHE
APPLIED EYELINER
VERY CLOSE TO THE ROOTS OF MY LASHES.
-
NEXT
MARIA USED A TWO-COLOR MASCARA.
FIRST SHE APPLIED WHITE COLOR –A THERAPEUTIC FLUID. ONE MINUTE LATER
SHE APPLIED THE BLACK COLOR. MY LASHES APPEARED THICK AND MUCH LONGER.
-
WHEN
MARIA APPLIED BLUSH SHE USED STROKES FROM THE EAR TO THE MIDDLE
OF THE CHEEK AND TO THE TEMPLE, AND WITH VERY LIGHT TOUCH – TO THE
BONE UNDER EYEBROWS.
-
NOW
IT WAS TIME FOR LIPS. FIRST SHE APPLIED THE LIP
PENCIL EXACTLY ON THE LINE OF MY LIPS.
AFTER THIS - THE LIPSTICK.
For
all this time I have been looking in the mirror as I have witness amazing
transformation from tired gal to relaxing glowing woman. I liked very much
what I finally saw in the mirror.
Maria
continued: "If you have a special event, before starting make-up,
first - do the face-lift masque and find 15-20 minutes to relax. In the
Evening Make-up you change only two things: first, apply HALO 70
instant glow under foundation. Second – for eyelids use two colors
shadows - light and dark. Apply light shadow closer to the inner corner of
the eye, and darker shadow – to the outer corner. And last suggestion:
never match color of make-up to the color of your dress. All colors should
be matched to the color of your eyes, skin and hair. Every woman is
beautiful, if she knows HOW."
The
second session includes face exercise and color analysis, I’ve already
scheduled the appointment at Art of Appearance Skin Care & Image
Center
