Brush Away Flaws...

You should always apply concealer with a brush. It creates a much more natural finish than your fingers, plus it gets into the shadowy corners that fingertips just can't reach. Professional make-up artists often apply concealer to the back of their hand and dab the brush against it to take on only small controlled amounts at a time. Try this trick, then apply the concealer only where you need it.

Hint: To conceal under eye circles, brush the concealer into the shadows avoiding any puffiness that surrounds the eye. Applying concealer to the puffiness itself is a common mistake that actually enhances dark circles.

Avon offers a complete range of make-up brushes to give you targeted coverage and seamless blending. Now you can brush your way to a more flawless complexion, just like the pros!

The Secret Life of Hair...

Did you know that your hair not only says a lot about the way you look, but it also says a lot about your health? To unravel some of its mysteries, let’s take a closer look…

Dull, lifeless, brittle damaged hair?
If this scenario sounds familiar, then it could be a question of health, habits or genes. While you can’t change genetics, you can do a few things to change the rest:

The old adage “You are, what you eat” certainly has merit. Eat a healthy, well balanced diet, complete with hair-nourishing vitamins and minerals such as: Vitamin B, Zinc and Iron and you’re already off to a good start.

Treat your hair with a little TLC. Chemicals and heat are your hair’s worst enemies. Hot blow dryers and high heat appliances can actually boil the moisture under the cuticle, causing it to blister and lift. Chemicals in bleaches, hair colorants, perms and swimming pools can also lead to weakening of the hair shaft, resulting in ridges. All of this leads to dryness and ultimately to breakage.

Reversing the damage
Current research shows that some of the best treatments contain peptides to nourish the hair and silicone polymers, which act to lock in moisture, smooth the cuticle and eliminate frizz and flyaways. All are key to restoring the look of hair’s health.
