A Fond Farewell to the Ultimate Blog Challenge

Picture

Thank you so much for being with me this month! As always, I love connecting with my favorite blogger friends, and reading all of your posts.
​

Blogging and COVID-19


Was it just me, or has this been a quieter blogging experience than usual? I have wondered about the impact of our pandemic on blogging, in general.

One benefit I love about doing this challenge is getting an increase in traffic. More people come to see me! :)

But for this challenge, and the April one, I haven't had quite the same increase I usually do. Most of the time, I am astounded at what happens as a result.

Still, I am grateful for every one of you who have come to say hello, and have read my posts. I think the #stayhome experience has made our conversations even more valuable to me.

Makeup Looks and Outfit Formula Ideas for Each Color Analysis Type


As we wind down our makeover month, here at the Life in Color blog, we'll use today's post to combine all three of our makeover topics: color analysis, beauty and style...
Picture

Makeup Looks & Outfit Formula Ideas for Each Color Type


We've talked about color analysis for women of color, introduced each color type: deep, light, warm, cool, clear and soft, looked ahead to creating a fall capsule wardrobe using the Pantone fall & winter color palette for 2020, and explored makeup tips both for women of color and women over 40.

In this post, let's look at makeup recommendations and looks, and outfit formula and color combination ideas for each of the six color homes.

​Watch these videos. Don't let the number of them scare you.

Each one is about 10 seconds long, so your time commitment is a minute or less. 

Take note of which  colors you know you can wear, or color combinations you like but haven't yet tried. You may even get more of a sense of which color home might be yours.
​


​Questions to Consider...


(1) Which type seemed to hold the colors you know serve you best?

(2) Which color combinations appealed to you most? 

(3) Do you know what that combination would look like in your own color palette?

(4) Which makeup looks would you like to try?

(5) Would any of the makeup looks go with clothes or colors you already own?

See you tomorrow!

​Love, Jeanine

Pucker Up: Lip Color Makeup Techniques & Tips for Women Over 40


​Unfortunately, aging often means that our lips become less full. Here's why...
As your lips age, your skin’s thin protective barrier becomes even thinner. Unfortunately, this affects your lips ability to retain needed moisture. Because it shows aging quickly, special attention is needed to combat the loss of moisture, collagen and circulation. Lip volume reduces as estrogen declines during menopause, typically around age 50-55. - ​UneFemme.net

Anti-Aging Tips and Techniques for Your Lips

Whether you were born with a thinner upper lip or as a mature woman you have been losing the collagen creating a thinner upper lip, here are tips to help you have the appearance of plumper lips! No surgery, no injections, just a couple of makeup tips for the fullest lip look possible! - Cindy Lee

​Watch this video for tips on how to make your lips look plumper...  

How to Choose the Right Lip Color

Picture

One problem women of color often have with buying makeup, in general, is finding makeup that gives them enough color support.

And lipstick can be challenging because it's such an overt & noticeable part of your look. You shouldn't have to put up with lipstick or glosses that aren't quite right.

Watch this cute video to get an idea of what these lip colors could look like on you...
​

Which one do you like best? And which tips will you use?

See you tomorrow!

Love, Jeanine

    ​Hi, I'm Jeanine Byers :)

    I'm an author,  Christian image consultant, proud former homeschool boy mom of a college student, Hallmark movie fan and big cuppa tea drinker. 

    I believe that creating your signature style is a spiritual calling. It's about seeing yourself as God does and delighting in your own beauty and style.

    I'm specializing in color analysis and signature style for black women.

    As women of color, we often aren't analyzed correctly when we receive color analysis. And all of our lives, we have been given sometimes subtle, and sometimes more overt societal messages about not meeting the cultural standards of beauty.
    My mission is to help you discover, embrace and celebrate your own beauty and style. 

    Thanks for dropping by! I'll see you soon.

    Love, Jeanine
