Tips for a “Sandal Ready” pedicure from:
SKYY HADLEY

Has the thought of spring and summer been on your mind, lately?

Well, it’s not quite time to whip out the summer slides just yet, but there is no harm in prepping our toes, so they are nice and pretty when the time does come! Plus, it is kind of embarrassing trying on new sandals at the shoe store, and everyone noticing your not-so-done pedicure.

Get ready for sandal season with Skyy Hadley’s tips on how to moisturize, hydrate and perfect your feet for the warmer months ahead!

Skyy Hadley’s pointers to achieve “Sandal Ready” feet:

• Remove your polish and let your toenails breathe for a good few days. If toenails look discolored, squeeze some lemon into your foot lotion or rub lemon wedge directly onto the nail to brighten them.

• Mix a few cups of warm whole milk in a bowl with vanilla essential oil followed by an exfoliating scrub to remove the dead skin. Avoid using pumice stones since they trap bacteria and use a diamond file instead for those extra rough spots.

• Apply a shea butter lotion or non-greasy cream to lock in moisture; use Vaseline or light vegetable oil on the heels to prevent cracking.

• Begin painting! Apply a cuticle oil to the base of your toenails (or even when they are already polished), focusing on the cuticle area to hydrate and bring moisture into the skin, helping the polish last longer.

Give your feet a little “love” with these wonderful tips from Skyy. Not only will you feel terrific, but your feet will look great in all those new sandals as you enjoy the upcoming warm weather seasons!

Skinn’s Wake up Big Bright Eyes-$28.00:
This one of the best palettes I’ve ever used personally, and as a makeup artist. I’m amazed at how quickly I’m able to achieve a finished and balanced eye look. When I’m on location doing makeup, the palette saves me a lot of time! It also imparts a flawless appearance on all different types of eyes. It’s blendable, with four very compatible shades, and very easy to apply, Skinn’s Wake up Big Bright Eyes Palette adapts beautifully to just about everyone!

Products Left to Right:
•Brow Gel: My eyebrows are sparse. Using the brow gel, I’m able to shape and fill in my brows with ease. They look great all day and never look penciled in or unnatural. The gel is a very versatile color that you can apply, as needed to suit your particular eyebrow needs! Use the angle brush that is included in the palette to enhance your brows.
• Eye Highlight Color: Next brush the light soft pink shadow on your complete eye area from lid to brow. Use the shadow brush that’s on the other side of the angle brush.
• Shape & Contour Color: Now you’ll contour your eye with the mauve shadow. I usually follow the crease of my eye and shadow slightly above that crease for a real eye lifted look . ( Remember to wipe off the shadow brush whenever you use a different color shadow.)
• Line & Define Color:: Your final step is lining and defining your eye. You can use the angle brush or a liner brush with the Cocoa shade. Follow the shape of your eyelid right by your lashes for a precise, clean line. Smudge the line a bit for an attractive softly defined shaping. I’ll sometimes enhance the outer corner of my eye lifting deeper color up into the crease of my eye for a little more drama. With these colors, I’ll still maintain a natural appearance. That’s what I think is so remarkable about the Wake Up Big Bright Eyes Palette, The colors work so well together!

Lightweight and hydrating, making it a smart choice for the sensitive under eye area.

It’s a must have for an afternoon touch-up, and just what you need for a little lift before an evening out on the town! You’ll find many uses for this versatile highlighting brightener!

Skinn Contour Pro-$48.75

Dimitri’s Skinn Contour Pro gives your face a natural sculpted look. Remember dark recedes, and light accentuates. I’ll usually apply the darker color to the contour of my cheek bone and just under my jaw bone. I’ll then place the lighter color from the outer corner of my eye area to my temple for a lifting and highlighting effect! Once again, the word subtle applies to the Skinn Contour Pro. I like to use my fingertips to apply and blend, but there are brush options as well. The Skinn Contour Pro palette is another must have to achieve that picture perfect finished look.

Take a moment to watch this video of Dimitri James actually applying Skinn Contour Pro on a model. It’s a very informative visual presentation!
