FALL TRENDS

Bye Spooky mood, we are ready for new makeup trends!

While we will always enjoy the timeless neutral palette and the natural beauty look, consider breaking from your usual routine and diving into bright tones! Everyone can find something that illustrates their personality. Ranging from delicate and feminine tones to eye-catching bright and bold hues!

Smokey Eyes! Smokey eyes are always in style, as they really should be! Smoked-out eyes are sexy, and sensual and go perfectly with a simple nude gloss.

Blush Party! Forget about barely visible contouring and try creamy, rich blush. This year, pink cheeks and temples are really popular. Some people even use lipsticks to achieve the desired smooth and silky appearance.

Metallic Eyeshadow! It is a remarkably simple way to add a touch of sparkle and shine to your look. By the way, celebrities love this look this season!

Fall is one of our favorite seasons, and we hope you enjoy trying out these cute fall cosmetics ideas that we intend to use for ourselves.

HALLOWEEN MAKE UP

It is almost Halloween so it is time to get ready! Most people think costumes and candy but we think MAKEUP! A great Halloween costume is not complete without makeup. Thankfully, it is easier than you think.

Halloween is the rare occasion when people won't bat an eye if you wear strange, extravagant makeup. It is the only time of year that you can use anything and anything, wild contact lenses, glitter, and fake blood. Seriously, everything works when we talk about Halloween makeup. Remember that bright red lipstick in your collection that you never had a chance to wear, well that might be just the right time to try something bold!

The most important tip is: make sure to stick to the long-wear makeup, nothing is more terrifying than make-up that does not last all night.

A good idea is to use an inspirational photo. Using one is helpful, as well as a trial run beforehand. It always turns out better the second time around. Professional stylists and makeup artists can help you be the star of the Halloween party this year.

Do you know what you are going to be this Halloween? If you need help bringing your costume to life, let our make-up team at Primp help you.

AFFORDABLE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS IDEAS

Numerous studies show that job stress is far and away the major source of stress for American adults.

Employee Wellness Events can help alleviate stress in the workspace.

• We all need a break! During a demanding workweek, a 10-minute break to unwind and recharge can seem impossible, especially when you need it most. It is simple to access physical, mental, and emotional wellness right at your office with corporate chair massages.

• Create an amazing atmosphere. Employees spend a lot of time with their co-workers. The more they enjoy it, the happier the workplace will be. A Wellness Event could be a great opportunity and atmosphere for employees to come together and a great productivity booster for the entire office.

• There is always something for everyone! Everyone can be pampered with different services, including Chair Massages, Mini-Facials, Manicures, Pedicures as well as Hair Styling and Make-Up demonstrations. Even a 5-minute hand massage works wonders.

• Event packages can reduce your overall expenses.

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE MAKE UP

I really do love Fall, especially in New York City. There are so many seasonal events, hidden parks, and unique experiences you can only enjoy for a few months each year. I love sweater weather, scarves, comfort food, leather boots, and coffee in my favorite mug. But I need to confess, there is one thing I have trouble getting excited about. It is Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The warm cozy Fall in a cup just does not do it for me.

But in my makeup!? That’s a different story. I love Pumpkin Spice makeup — the famous mix of spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.

First prep your skin with your favorite moisturizer ( recommend SPF) and let's dive in!

• Start with priming your lids to help eye makeup go on smoother and last longer. Use a fluffy brush and a light shade as a transition into the crease.

• Apply a slightly darker shade into the crease using a blending brush

( use a fluffy blending brush after each step to make sure everything is seamless)

• Then apply a dark shade ( deep orange or brown) to the outer corner of the eyelid. Blend and build it up until it's as vibrant as you want it to be.

• With the wet/dry eye brush apply shimmer eyeshadow to the center and inner third of the lids, taking it close to the inner corners. You want to make sure to blend everything in the outer corner for a smooth transition.

• Using the crease and blend brush, apply darker shade eyeshadow across the lower lash line. Blend out using windshield-wiping motions all the way across.

• Time for a liner! Apply dark brown or black eyeliner pencil to the lash line, then use a brush to smooth it out after applying and wing it out a bit.

• Add your favorite mascara and a quick brush to your eyebrows

• Enjoy your smokin-hot Pumpkin Spice Latte Makeup look!

FALL NAIL CARE

One of the best ways to express your love for the fall is to dive into the array of Autumn​​ nail polish colors. Orange, green or brown can shine differently when you go with fun trendy nail polish. The leaves on the trees are changing and here we come with deep teal, forest green, gothic white, dusty red, or milk chocolate! I also like to make sure my nails are a part of my new fall beauty routine.​​ Just like our skin is affected by colder weather, so are our nails. Thick lotion or oils is my go-to, to save my nails from getting brittle or breaking.​​

As much as I love to experiment with fun nail colors in the fall, I always let my nails breathe and recover from my obsession with nail polish. Just a few days of rest can do the trick and do not forget to moisturize the nails during these breaks.

Considering all the changes from the outside (temperature and humidity level) we might want to give ourselves some help from within. There are so many good foods full of calcium, iron, and antioxidants for nail strength and growth. Make sure to include dark, leafy greens, like spinach, broccoli, kale, and collard greens in your diet. And no matter the weather we are ready to shine!

FALL SKIN CARE ADVICE

It is officially Fall! The season of pumpkin spice lattes, caramel apples, sweaters, spooky ghosts and... dry skin?! Here are some suggestions to take care of your skin and some new daily skin care practices to try.

As you may know, your skin's hydration is directly impacted by the air moisture content. So it is easier to maintain smooth, plump, and healthy skin in the summer when it is warmer and more humid. In the summer, we also tend to eat healthier and exercise more, which promotes blood flow and keeps our skin healthy. In the transition months like September, skin loses a lot of moisture in the environment when the air is less humid. Here are a few tips to transition your skincare routine from summer to fall without causing a skin freak out.

-Continue to use your Sunscreen! The amount of UV radiation you are exposed to from the sun is not always correlated with the temperature outside. Keep your skin protected!

-Easy on exfoliation! Exfoliating is great for removing dead skin cells and smoothing out the skin, but over-exfoliation can irritate the skin, especially when it is exposed to harsher weather.

-Moisturize, but extra! Switch those lightweight gel moisturizers to something more dense and creamy. When the air is cold your skin barrier may need extra help from a richer consistency moisturizer.

Come fall, we have prepared a skincare mini makeover and maybe it is time for a new wardrobe, too!
