How-To: "No Makeup" Makeup with Kathy Genchi
Makeup; most women wear it, not all woman love it. Makeup can become heavy and sticky throughout the day and in some cases, can even cause break outs. Despite its disadvantages, makeup has consistently been an essential part of almost every woman’s daily routine since Egyptians first started wearing copper and lead ore around their eyes to impress the gods. We’ve come a long way since then and styles continue to evolve overtime. The newest trend is the “no makeup” look consisting of neutral tones and very little dark contrasting colors around the eyes and cheeks.
Julien Farel Make Up Artist, Kathy Genchi says “The “no-makeup” makeup is for the women who want the look of effortless beauty. This is highly recommended look for the warmer seasons. It all begins with good skin care and light color correction of the skin imperfections. Makeup is then used subtly to enhance the eyes and a rosy glow is given to the cheek. You will have a beautiful polished look. This look is perfect for any women who wants their inner beauty to glow!”

Stay fresh and clear this summer by trying out this refreshing new look! Follow the step to achieve your effortless beauty.
