3 Simple Steps to Take Your Makeup from Everyday to Holiday

For days when you don’t have time to re-do your makeup before going out, try these easy tricks to add just the right touch of holiday drama:

1 – Apply shimmer to your lips, nails or both! Nothing glams up your look quite like a touch of shimmer. Whether it’s on lips or nails, it’s a holiday must: 
Our picks: Ultra Color Rich Rubies Lipstick in Radiant Ruby and Glitter Nail Enamel in Sparkling Plum.

2 – Play up your eyes with liner. If you go light on liner during the day, evening is the time to ramp it up. Define both upper and lower lashline, and use a shade that complements your eyes. 
Try: Glimmersticks Eye Liners in a fun shade you wouldn’t normally wear during the day!

3 – Add a fresh coat of mascara. It’s that easy! One extra coat takes lashes from nice to WOW! 
Try: Super Drama Mascara.

No more bad hair days! 
Find out how with these pro tips…

With today’s busy lifestyle and ever changing hair trends, it can often be a challenge to keep your locks looking their best. So we’ve rounded up 3 great styles to take you from day to night to the weekend in style.

For Day:
The Sleek & Straight Pony is a winner! You may have recently noticed models sporting this look on the runways. The best part is that it’s so easy to recreate the look at home.

While hair is damp, apply a smoothing lotion throughout your hair. We like Give it to Me Straight Super Smoothing Lotion from mark. It will help banish frizziness and heighten shine. Next, using an elastic, comb hair back and pull into a classic ponytail. Now pull a lock from underneath and wrap it around the elastic. To hide, simply tuck the remaining tip under the elastic or secure from underneath with a hairpin. To set the look, apply new Locks in Place Buildable Hold Hairspray from mark.

For Night:
The piecey tousled look is hot and now you can have this celebrity-inspired look, too! To get it, use Double Do Shape and Gloss Kit from mark on dry hair. First, twist locks and apply the shaping wax onto hair to add texture and definition. Then run the solid gloss over hair to add shine and smooth flyaways. It’s a great product to keep in your handbag to tame unruly hairs and cowlicks too. Now finish the look with Locks in Place Buildable Hold Hairspray from mark.

For Weekends:
Go casual with waves! To get the look, apply Curl Commander Curl and Wave Gel from markto damp hair. This will help to eliminate frizz. Next, gently scrunch and allow to air dry or… if pressed for time, use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment and gently twist locks as you dry them. And if your curls need a little pick me up, Curl to Curl Reactivate and Define Mist will revive and boost those deflated curls.

Discover the beauty tool that leaves skin looking flawless…

When it comes to applying makeup, the tools you use are as important as the products themselves, which is why no one should be without this little wonder: The Precision Grip Teardrop Blender is the secret to applying and blending makeup seamlessly. Its unique teardrop shape and pointed tip allow you to access hard-to-reach areas like under the eye or around the nose. Plus, its suede-like texture eliminates visible makeup lines and streaks.

Here’s how to use it:

1) Dampen the Precision Grip Teardrop Blender using tepid water, then gently squeeze or blot excess moisture.

2) Dip into liquid or cream foundation.
Note: The Blender can also be used with tinted moisturizers and self-tanners, too.

3) Gently tap or stipple makeup onto your skin, section by section. Use the wider portion for cheeks and forehead, and the pointed area for under eye, around the nose and chin area.

Once complete, your makeup coverage will be flawless and streak-free.

Find the Precision Grip Teardrop Blender in Avon’s Campaign 12 Brochure for only $6.99. When you consider that similar applicators retail for over $20, it makes sense to take advantage of this great Avon price.

Your top skin care questions answered…

Skincare while an integral part of your routine can sometimes be tricky: Everything from knowing which products to use and when to how to use them. To take the guesswork out of it all, we’ve rounded up some of the most commonly asked questions to provide you with answers:

Q: I’m often confused about which steps to include in my skincare routine. What should I be doing? 
A: A healthy skincare routine should consist of a cleanser, moisturizer with SPF for day and one without for night, along with an eye cream. Be sure to always choose products that are targeted to your skin’s specific needs. A great way to find what’s right for you is to take advantage Avon’s 2-week Anew regimen starter kits.

Q: Sometimes when I apply moisturizer some areas still seem dry or patchy. Should I be doing something differently?
A: Apply moisturizer while skin is still damp. First, dot moisturizer all over face and neck. Next smooth up and out, starting from the centre of your face and gently massage into skin.

Q: Is there a special technique to use when applying eye cream? 
A: Tapping is the key. Dab, your eye cream along the bone area around the eye. You should never go closer as this could risk getting product into the eye. Next, gently tap with finger from inner to outer corner.

Q: Sometimes my skin starts to look dull and uneven and my products don’t seem to absorb as well. What can I do? 
A: Over time, dead skin cells can start to accumulate. To address this, it’s best to gently exfoliate. Adding a product like Anew Clinical Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid can help re-texturize your skin and did you know that it’s proven to be 79% as effective as a professional microdermabrasion – without the same irritation. *

Get that vacation glow without the vacation!

Spring just arrived but your skin is still looking pale and pasty from winter. What to do? Fake the perfect glow. Here’s how:

1) Whisk away flakes and awaken dull skin with a gentle exfoliating cleanser like Solutions Cleanse Ageless Results Day & Night Cleanser.

2) Apply a self-tanner designed for the face. We like It’s A Glow Gradual Glow Face Moisturizer from mark. It works to promote a healthy glow by delivering radiance boosting antioxidants along with colour that builds every application. The result is a gradual, natural glow that’s sure to keep people guessing.

3) Finish with a gentle dusting of illuminating powder like Avon’s Glow Bronzing Pearls in shade Sunkissed. Apply to key spots where the sun would naturally hit: Cheeks, bridge of nose and forehead.

4) Complete your look with a touch of gloss in a shade like coral. New Avon Glow Lip Gloss’ sheer, shiny formulation enhances the look of your tan, plus… it offers the added benefit of SPF 15.

3 time-saving beauty products guaranteed to simplify your routine

Everyone dreams of being a fresh-faced natural beauty, but sometimes it can take a lot of effort to get there. The good news is, we’ve rounded up 3 pro picks to help you achieve that "natural" look in minutes:

1) Avon Magix Face Perfector: This little wonder not only helps to banish shine for up to 10 hours, but it also minimizes the look of pores and blurs imperfections, plus it contains SPF 20. You can wear it alone or under your makeup.

3) Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation: This is the perfect solution for women with sensitive skin or those who don’t like to wear foundation but would like some coverage.

ANEW Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel Featured on the Dr. Oz Show!

Recently, television medical expert Dr. Oz featured the top anti-aging (and affordable) breakthroughs in an interview and demonstration with dermatologist Dr. Anne Chapas.

After Dr. Oz invited an audience member up onto the stage, Dr. Chapas introduced Avon’s ANEW Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel, which she noted contains the same ingredients as the chemical peels she uses on patients in her office.

As she applied the product onto the audience member’s cheeks she explained that the ANEW product both "removes fine dead skin and lets newer, healthier skin glow" and pointed out that the product not only removes fine lines but that it also improves pigmentation. In addition, Dr. Chapas praised both the product’s "novel pad," which provides both manual and chemical retexturizing, and the fact that it is "self-neutralizing," meaning that there is "no risk that you can overdo it." Click here to watch the clip.

While aging might be a natural part of life, how you show your age is entirely up to you. Some of the most beautiful women in the world are the ones who own their age and wear it with pride.

In your 30’s? Try Anew Rejuvenate designed to address early signs of aging. You’ll improve tone, texture and pore size, while refreshing tired-looking skin.

In your 40’s? Try Anew Reversalist formulated to fight moderate signs of aging. Now you can reduce the look of fine wrinkles and discolorations.

In your 50’s? Try Anew Ultimate and defy advanced signs of aging. See the look of cushion and youthful vitality renewed so you can look as young as you feel.

In your 60’s? Try Anew Platinum and combat serious signs of aging. Now you can regain youthful radiance and reduce the look of deep wrinkles, while improving contour and hydration.

Look Great Save money

Beauty on a budget! 
Wear the trends without the splurge.

How is it that some women seem to have a different shade of shadow and lipstick for every occasion or make it a point to change their makeup with the seasons? Don’t despair they just happen to know the secret to being a beauty on a budget. Here’s how you can become one too:

1) When it comes to eyes, look for eye shadow quads or palettes. Not only do these allow you to experiment with a multitude of colors, they also often come equipped with highlighting, contouring and lining shades that allow you to create both day & night looks with ease. One palette, a multitude of looks! Our picks: True Color Eyeshadow Quad or 8-in-1 Eye Palette.

2) Get the look of lash extensions without the high price tag. Opt for an ultra-lengthening mascara like SuperExtend Extreme Mascara. Its magnetic fibres work like magnets to instantly attract lashes and extend them to impressive lengths.

3) Nail art is a hot trend but not every girl can afford a weekly trip to the salon. Instead opt for your own at home manicure by introducing a crackle finish polish. To use, paint nails in your favourite nail shade, allow to dry, then finish with Mosaic Effects topcoat. The end result is salon-worthy nail art. Only you’ll know how much time and money you saved.

4) Want more shades of lip color to choose from? Wait for sales, then stock up. Soon you’ll find yourself with a collection of glosses and lipsticks worthy of any fashionista. Oh, did we mention that there’s a 2 for 1 event on lip color in Avon’s Campaign 6 Brochure? Don’t miss it!

Pro Mascara Tips You Need to Know…

When it comes to mascara, one thing is certain... few of us leave home without it! But did you know that achieving the best results often lies in the technique that you use to apply it? Here we reveal a few simple pro tips that will have you maximizing your mascara like never before:

1) When applying, wiggle your wand at the base of your lashes and work your way up. The mascara placed at the roots is what gives the illusion of thicker lashes and a more defined lash line, while the wiggling also helps to separate lashes.

2) Add drama or help lift the look of a droopy eye by adding a few extra coats of mascara to outer lashes.

3) Use an eyelash curler - This often forgotten step can actually make a huge difference. Curling lashes gives the appearance of wider, brighter eyes. Try it once and chances are you’ll never go without! Lashes can be curled before or after applying mascara so experiment to find the approach that best suits your needs and mascara formula.

4) Make a clean sweep! As a mascara wand is repeatedly exposed to air and product deposits, it may begin to thicken or clump. If you notice this suddenly happening to your once clump-free mascara, simply wipe down the wand using a makeup wipe and reinsert the wand into the mascara barrel. This will ensure a clean sweep the next time you use it.

5) Replace your mascara every 3 months. Not only is this a must for hygiene safety, but it will also ensure maximum product efficiency.
