"Shadow Shields"



Check out another AMAZING and super INNOVATIVE product I just discovered:)

Shadow Shields

Innovative and unique, Shadow Shields are a dependable solution for eliminating messy “raccoon eyes” caused by dreaded eye shadow fallout. Being hailed as “The Red Carpet Secret Beauty Product,” and as “The Best New Find…,” Shadow Shields are giving women everywhere the confidence they need to apply eye makeup, while making the job of a makeup artist a little easier! “This is a great product for real women doing their makeup! Many of my clients struggle with doing a dark, smoky eye and not getting shadow all over the place- this product is great for them!” ~says Lisa, FORD Modeling Agency Makeup Artist, Chicago.
Shadow Shields are disposable, light-weight adhesives that easily attach under the eye to catch falling makeup residue and prevent the need for unnecessary touch-ups! The adhesive on the back of the shield is strong enough to hold it in place so users can keep their hands free, while also being gentle enough for the sensitive skin around the eyes.
“They are great! And a fabulous alternative to the usual powder-under-the-eye trick!” ~says Mally Roncal, celebrity makeup artist.

Benefits• Protects under eye area from eye shadow fallout
• Self Adhesive
• Saves Time
• Eliminates Mess

Helpful Tips





• Remove only top corners to apply. If more adhesion is needed, remove entire top strip.
• Application of shield doesn’t have to be directly on lash line- it can be applied under the bulge of the eye or wherever most comfortable.
• When applying shield, allow backing to crease-it will form a small lip, helping to catch the fallout!

Tips for cheeks with Cynde Watson


Tips for cheeks with Cynde Watson

• When selecting a blush shade, choose one that matches the natural tone in your cheeks when flush.

• When applying gel or cream blush, smile then on the apples of your cheeks. Simply use three dots of color to start, then build to desired intensity.

• Always keep your blush and lip color shades in the same color family. This doesn’t mean you need to match the colors exactly – just make sure the tones are the same.

• To give the appearance of lifted cheeks, add a shimmer highlighter over your blush or on the height of your cheekbone. Be careful not to overdue shimmer on the skin as you want a healthy-looking glow; not one that looks greasy or oily.

• Bronzers help enhance the skin's radiance to give skin a warm sun-kissed look. Bronzers can also be used to correct skin tone imperfections by using them to help balance uneven skin and as a contour to sculpt the jaw line and nose.

• All women can benefit from adding a little color back into their skin or correcting skin imperfections. I love bronzers because they provide a “quick fix” to help skin look radiant, flawless and healthy.
