I fall in love 🧡 with this season every year. It doesn’t get old. I love the feel, scents and the weather. It is like the earth 🌎 is exfoliating the past season and getting us ready for winter in more ways than one.
This fall for makeup and fashion it is all about cinnamon and brown earthy hued eye shadow and lipsticks.
Discover some new PINK hues too! There are so many shades to choose from. Celebrities are rocking Barbie Pink and on the fashion show runways. Pink is always a good idea. It brightens the teeth and complexion.
Update your style if it has been awhile. Let’s enjoy all the beauty, scents and sounds the season has to offer.
I am counting down to my last guest speaking engagement of the year at the International Esthetics Cosmetics and Spa show …where I will be teaching in West Palm Beach.
Can’t wait to shop and feast all the beautiful places in Palm Beach! 🌴 🕶 🌊
Lately I’ve been seeing and hearing women say “I’m fat and sassy since Covid and not doing a thing.”
“Wearing yoga pants and don’t care to get dressed up anymore!”
“Not wearing lipstick, not wearing foundation and just gave it up!”
Some just say they are hiding behind a face mask 😷 saving money 💰 and proudly announced to me they’ve even stopped wearing 💄 lipstick!
These words just about KILL ME! Don’t stop wearing lipstick! Gloss or lip balm!
I know we’ve been on such a roller coaster in life since 2020 with Covid’s arrival. Every day and month unfolds a new adventure and not always a good one. A “shit show” in fact. Our lives have not been healthy and easy. But I think that’s the beauty of a lipstick, glowing skin,wearing fragrance, a pretty outfit and self-care!
I think we should ALL care. Get dolled up for work or play. Feel good about ourselves, love ourselves more. Take better care of our health. Enjoy life to its fullest.
The universe 🌎 needs you!!!
And it needs me too. Don’t give up. Put your best face and body forward. YOU deserve it.
What color are you wearing today? Are you a lipstick girl or a glossy liquid lipstick girl?
I truly believe and my signature mantra is: “ A day without lipstick is like a day without sunshine”
What’s hot in the world of lipstick 💄💋?
💋Lipstick in general from soft to bold hues. Women are starting to pull out those lipstick tubes! Lip stains rule!
💋Lip conditioners and lip balms are HOT!! These face masks are making our lips dry as ever.
💋 Lip masks are HOT too! From Korea, Hong Kong and now made in the USA 🇺🇸 these masks are little miracle workers.
💋 The dark trimmed lip liner is out. Invisible or Nearly Nude are IN!
💋 Lip Exfoliators are a skin care necessity!
💋 if you vape or smoke cigarettes 🚬 maybe you want to give that a rest and rethink it. If you want your lips to look prettier and more youthful and kissable. You need to do the right thing. Each puff makes you wrinkle more! Day after day! Really!
💋 Wearing sunscreen on your face is a must. Also… pay particular attention to and protect the tissue on the upper lip area and chin from 🌞 sunburn and wrinkling!
💋 Honey 🍯 is a delicious and cheap lip treatment. It can be used on the lips only or all over the face!!
💋Lip brushes make your lipstick look better and your tube last longer. It is a makeup artists fave brush.
Do you have a passion for lipstick like I do? Share with me. I’d love ❤️ to know your go to. Fave color and why you love lipstick?
We beauty professionals and speakers have been waiting for over a year and half to reconnect with each other,educate and see what’s trending and new! The show did go on and I could not be BE ANY HAPPIER!
👄
The International Esthetics Cosmetics and Spa Conference was wonderful! My class went well. I was thrilled with all the beautiful faces looking to learn all I had to share with them too!
Yes, there was social distancing but we did not have to wear a face mask 😷 while educating. The show attendees had the option if vaccinated they did not have to wear a mask. There were sanitation stations and there was mindful social distancing. Attendance was UP considering what we have been through. Lines to shop 🛍 were long but worth the wait. I can’t believe the crowds of beauty PROS and spa and salon owners so many happy faces.
It was wonderful to be out and about and to TRAVEL on an airplane again. Seeing lots of people was great and Delta Airlines took good care of me! Chatting with strangers and and seeing SMILING FACES without face covers and masks was beyond joyous.
It was HOT and steamy in beautiful Las Vegas and I got a chance to work and play!!! One day it was actually 116 degrees.
Networking at it’s finest! Like a GIANT COCKTAIL PARTY! The IECSC show even treated us to a cocktail 🍸 or other libations to toast and welcome us back!
Here is a list of what I discovered on that’s Trending and NEW! Some I predicted and knew but some trends I saw on the show floor.
Skin care is HOT! It is even more in than makeup! We got to see the latest in action with LIVE demos on the show floor.
Facial embellishments were a thing and step aside tattoos and piercings. Pearls,colorful stencils,flowers and bold eye designs.
Wellness is a MUST in our lives. We must take better care of ourselves!
Self care is the best care!
“Caked on” made up faces are NOT happening. Makeup is heading softer and pretty is back.
Softer prettier makeup is the look now.
Brows and lashes are cared for with serums of gold. Brow laminations are hot.
Lash Lifts are still in.
False Lashes depending on who you speak to are out but faux lash companies are still selling. All kinds of lashes and COLORS!
OVER done and over the top contouring is OUT!
Lip plumpers are still coveted alongside a gorgeous lipgloss or 💄 lipstick.
To plump or not to plump?
Shimmery GLOWY skin is still with us.
Dermaplaning is still hot!
Concealing the entire face with concealer, highlighters and foundation is not in.
Tinted shampoos in all colors too!
Root Powder coverups in all HUES!
HAIR YOU WEAR and take off …faux bangs,pony’s and more are not going away.
Glossy faces!
Bright shiny glass like skin for the hair.
💅 Nails are fresh and natural but also pointed and embellished and long!
Facial Masks reign supreme! ALL kinds of treatments,smell and feel amazing!
Celebrities weren’t the only ones on the Las Vegas Strip.
Is to buy a NEW lipstick and nail lacquer this spring! I know you think since there is so much focus on the eyes while we are still wearing face masks or face covers that you don’t need to wear a lipstick but you do! Lipstick is sunshine on a cloudy day like in Florida today. I just got up but am supping my Chai tea with a pretty lipstain and my lingerie on! It makes me feel good and is hydrating my lips too.
I also bought a new nail polish by OPI the other day.It is an awesome hue of lilac and purple.
BOTH of these make me happy. Every single time I lift my hands or do things with my fingers I see the colors on my nails it lifts my spirits. It can do the same for you!
That is why I teach my clients to take care of themselves and carve out some time on Self Care Sunday. This little gesture,this little time for you is great for your mental health and if you are feeling a little blue. This spring there are so many new lip and nail shades to choose from.
What color is calling you?
So go ahead paint that pout and brighten your nails with a pop of color. A little color goes a LONG way.
I found something you might be interested in. It is a page and shop I follow on Instagram by a professional make-up artist and artist who creates lovely ART out of a photo or you can choose something from her artistic designs.
I did a telephone consult to chat on what I was looking for.
Next I emailed her a photo of my lips 👄 wearing a lipstain that I created for my cosmetic collection. It is a rosy hue. I love it so much I wanted to preserve the memory, photograph and the actual lipstick on my lips.
This is an postcard ad we sent out to my clients when we launched my lipstick. Isn’t it lovely?
This card photo is what I sent the artist to work from.
👄
Look at the magical piece she created!
It is a silk scarf! I love ❤️ it and am beyond impressed. The artist suggested I frame it and make it wall art but for now…..
I am simply enjoying it around my neck.
My 👄 scarf!
Her creation came with a small card that read:
“Lady Barbara PinsonArtist Collection. Your fashion fairy godmother. Lady Barbara’s Art is your JOY, Beauty, Hope.
Wrap Yourself in Love”
Lady Barbara creates original 🎨 paintings, then translates those pieces to wearable art,home,fabric, which then become your fashion for rears original lifestyle brand.
Thank you for your encouraging support, with your Lady Barbara Pinson Artist Collection.
If you are looking for a legacy piece, a memorable gift or your logo on a scarf or other pieces. I highly recommend you look into this artist. I love ❤️ supporting other women business owners. It feels so good! I hope someday they will support me too.
That is why I went the extra mile and featured her scarf in my Valentine & Galentine Gift 💝 Ideas segment on TV.
I want to enjoy this view and sunset. I saw one almost as gorgeous as this in Colorado and it’s beauty and the colors are still etched in my memory. I pray for our lives and have hope we will enjoy life again.
We must wash our hands often, mask up,do our part in social distancing and above all practice patience! What about you?
It is time to celebrate 🇺🇸 the redwhite and blue or even if you don’t celebrate it in your country let’s celebrate YOU! Mask on or mask off at home get out that red lipstick and celebrate America and happy to be alive too!
Lipstick 💄 is happiness, lipstick gives instant gratification. Lipstick gives your face a lift! 💋
Happy 4th! If you live in America. If you don’t you can still enjoy the beauty of a gorgeous red lipstick!
These two (a lipstick and a blush) I think are a winning combination. They give us a pop 👄 of color and can lift our spirits and even change our mood. We all need a little boost now more than ever. Don’t we?
Pink in any shade gives us a healthy rosy glow!
Something nude, brown or wine just quite won’t do.
Moving forward together into the summer yes we will and should be wearing face covers or masks. We do it to protect others and they protect us to stop the spread of the virus. But when you aren’t wearing a face mask at home or in your own backyard, enjoying your family or enjoying a burger on the grill…. A little color can go a LONG way. I hear from my clients, friends and on TV how people are in a bit of a limbo state and some are depressed. We need to take a moment, enjoy and address by the little things. Don’t give in and get depressed. Surround yourself with beauty while the world is having a moment. Color your attitude.
We need to be our own makeup artist whether in the beauty business or if you are the girl next door,mom or working girl…we owe it to ourselves to be pandemic pretty.
Make the world prettier again with a pretty state of mind and one tube of lipstick and a swipe of blush at a time!
PS
They say wearing PINK can make you look up to ten years younger!
