Mix Up Your Make-Up and Have Some Fun!

I mix and custom blend most of the cosmetics that are sold on my website, and just love it. I think of the late Estee Lauder every time I am in my studio working on a new batch of lip gloss or custom blending a new shimmer powder. She is definitely one of my “it gals” and someone who I have the utmost respect for when it comes to beauty. For those of you who are feeling a little daring and want to turn your blush into a shimmery lip color, here’s a quick tip on how to do it.

If you’re like me, then you have loads of makeup to search through to find the perfect color. Find a powder blush in a color that you would like to wear on your lips. Maybe a warm pink, nude, bronze, or something in a peach tone. Whatever blush suits your complexion will look great as a lip color. In a small container break off a tiny piece of blush, (maybe a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch) and mix with a quarter-size dollop of lip balm. I love Rosebud lip balm which is available at most Sephora’s and beauty supply stores.

Mix into a creamy texture, and when you feel like it’s the right consistency apply to your lips, or use a lip brush for a more opaque look. How very Estee Lauder of you!

Let me know what you come up with and of course if you have any questions, I’m your girl.
