 Your home right now but that doesn't mean you can't still feel fresh and confident. Your Everyday makeup should define your bone structure, hide any blemishes, and highlight those beautiful eyes without making you look overdone. So here is a short process broken down into three steps to give you a natural, polished appearance.
Step 1 of 3: Prepping Your Face Wash your face before applying makeup in the morning, wash your face so you'll be able to start with a fresh canvas. Use a cleanser or simply splash lukewarm water on your face a few times to wash away any debris on your skin then pat it dry gently with a soft towel. Consider exfoliating. It's not necessary to exfoliate every day, but doing so every few days is essential to keeping your skin looking fresh. Putting makeup on over dry, flaky skin defeats the purpose! Exfoliate your skin using either a small facial brush, an exfoliating scrub, or another exfoliating tool designed for use on the face. Focus on areas that tend to get dry and flaky. Apply a moisturizer. The last step before applying makeup is putting on some moisturizing lotion. This will help your makeup go on more easily and create a better final look. Choose a good face moisturizer that works with your skin type. Massage it gently all over your face. Don't forget your eyelids, lips, and nose. Step 2 of 3: Applying Foundation and Powder Apply a foundation that matches the tone of your skin. Choose a foundation that works with your skin type and matches your coloring. Liquid foundation is a fine choice for many types of skin. You can also use tinted moisturizer or BB cream. If your skin is on the oily side, you might want to consider a compact or powder foundation.
Apply a concealer that matches your skin tone or if you have dark under-eye circles, go one shade lighter. Apply a light amount of concealer using either a concealer brush or your finger by dabbing it under your eyes and gently blending it in. This will make your eyes look bright instead of sleepy. Apply a powder that matches your skin tone. Use a powder brush to apply the powder to your face in a circular motion. This will give your face a natural-looking finish and help set your foundation so that it stays in place all day. Apply a pink-toned blush that brings out the best in your facial coloring. Swirl a blush brush in the container, smile, and apply it to the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion. Step 3 of 3: Applying Eye Makeup and Lip Color Apply a neutral shadow pallet for a simple, everyday look. neutral tones are all good choices, depending on your eye color. Avoid bright colors, "smokey eye" pallets, and other bold jewel tones, as they'll look out of place during the day. Here's how to apply eyeshadow to make it look natural and pretty:

 Thankfully more people are increasing their hand washing regiments now that the CDC and health officials have emphasized that regular hand washing is imperative to helping curb the spread of COVID-19.
But there's one step we all tend to forget after washing our hands or applying hand sanitizer – that critical layer of hand cream. Ironically, by over-washing our skin, we can develop dry cracks in the skin, giving bacteria an entry point into our bodies. Here are some best practices on how to treat signs of over-washing like pain, redness, flaking and itching. Why is hand-washing so harsh on our skin? The outermost layer of our skin is composed of oils and wax and it acts as both a shield from the outside and a guard that maintains natural moisture in the skin. This natural barrier is broken down by the suds created by soap while washing hands, which doesn't discriminate between unwanted oil, germs, debris and natural oils in the skin. Not applying a quality hand cream can lead to dryness, redness, itching, flaking, discomfort and in severe cases, cracks in the skin. Those with pre-existing dermatologic conditions like eczema can experience worsening symptoms. How to wash your hands to avoid skin dryness Apply enough mild, fragrance-free soap to remove dirt, but avoid using so much that it creates a thick lather which tends to wash away healthy natural oils. Wash with warm, not hot water, for at least 20 seconds, patting your hands dry with a towel. Once your hands are dry, apply a moisturizer immediately. Keep small travel sizes of Glaminator Beauty Bod Butter in your car, purse, gym bag, and at your work desk to make sure it is within reach. Are there any ingredients to avoid when skin is chapped? Products that contain fragrance can be irritating to chapped, sensitive skin. Creams and ointments are better than lotions and try to avoid hand sanitizers with too much alcohol, as they can be drying to chapped skin. Are there other treatments to increase moisture absorption? Around bedtime before laying down for your beauty rest, apply our Body Butter and then cover with cotton gloves to increase absorption. You may also consider using a humidifier at night which raises the humidity level in a room that can help dry skin. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

With the growing number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 growing nationwide it's very important to start with the basics and look after your own health first:
Check on Older Neighbors and Loved Ones Those over the age of 60 and those with preexisting conditions — like heart disease, lung disease, or diabetes are at the highest risk for contracting the coronavirus. Checking in on neighbors, friends, and relatives who fall under this category can make a world of difference. A simple phone call to ask if you can get them anything while you run to the supermarket or a conversation through a sealed door as a precautionary measure is all it takes to show that you care. Donate to Food Banks and Shelters If it's within your means, donating food and supplies to local food banks and shelters is a great way to help out those who might not have access to basic necessities. If you're looking to do even more, you can also volunteer through your local food bank to safely drop off care packages to those under quarantine. Support Local Businesses Most small businesses (like us) are feeling the economic impact of people social distancing to reduce their risks of contracting coronavirus. Businesses across the New Jersey have closed or are at risk of closure. But there are a few ways to help:
During a time where people are uncertain about their well-being, all donation amounts are appreciated. This includes food banks, social services, and organizations that help those who have been hurt economically by the virus. Here are a few organizations that you can consider donating to:

This supercharged natural ingredient can transform dry skin and frizzy hair to smooth and soft. Unsure of what shea butter is exactly and how it works? Here's what you should know about natural shea butter.
What is Shea Butter? Shea butter is farmed in several countries in Africa, such as Gambia, Sudan and Burkina Faso, among others. Shea butter is derived from the seeds of the shea (or karite) tree. It’s filled with beneficial fatty acids such as stereic, oleic and linoleic acids, as well as vitamins, minerals and catechins. Both refined and unrefined forms of shea butter exist, and it’s refined shea that’s made into shea butter. It has many benefits for both your skin and hair. Five Ways to Use Shea Butter For Hair and Skin 1. Used as a Moisturizer Shea butter can help to moisturize even the most cracked, dry skin. This is why it is an active ingredient in our Glaminator Beauty Hydrating Body Butter. Once applied to the skin, shea butter takes on an oil-like texture and is readily absorbed. It can help alleviate skin tightness and dry skin by restoring moisture to the area. Shea butter can be used as a moisturizer all year round especially in the fall or winter seasons when colder climates cause skin to become dry and/or flaky. GB Hydrating Body Butter restores hydration and soothes your skin in places where you may be experiencing skin irritation or excess skin shedding. During the spring/summer months, it’s the perfect product to use after a day in the sun to restore skin hydration and calm your sun beaten skin. 2. Used to Soothe Chapped Lips Suffering from chapped lips? No worries, Shea butter is here to help. Shea butter is perfect for any type of chapped skin you might be dealing with: which tends to be especially common on the lips, especially during fall/winter seasons. Our Hydrating Body Butter helps it heal by simply applying a little dab in the morning and the evening to make sure lips stay soft and smooth. 3. Used to Fight Dandruff and Scalp Irritation Shea butter has amazing soothing qualities, which helps calm your scalp especially if you're experiencing ongoing dry scalp. Use a small amount of shea butter and massage it into your scalp in a circular motion. If you suffer from dry hair you can also comb the shea butter through your hair and let it set in for up to an hour as pre-shampoo before shampooing. 4. Used for Softening Hands Shea butter is most commonly used in hand creams, since it can restore dry skin as well as smooth rough cuticles. Quick pro-tip for ultra soft hands: apply our Hydrating Body Butter right before bed time and slip on a pair of gloves or socks. Let the moisture sink in overnight. You’ll wake up with soft, moisturized hands that look and feel it, too. 5. Used as a Smoothing Cream for Frizzy Hair Coarse, dry, or frizzy hair (or all three) is no match for shea butter. If your hair always tends to get frizzy once it’s dry—or just feels more unmanageable than usual—use shea butter to touch up problem spots. Try smoothing down flyaway hair strands, giving hair a healthy sheen, or taking your frizz halo down a notch with it. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

Um, yes, please. At least it sounds great doesn't it?
You’ve probably contemplated getting lash extensions a thousand times but before you go ahead and book an appointment, I want to share the good, the bad, and the annoying aspects of having selfie-ready lashes. Keep reading for all the details you seriously need to know. Are lash extensions worth it? Unlike gluing a strip of temporary fake lashes onto your lash line, semipermanent lashes are applied by a Glaminator who hand-adheres the extensions on top of your natural lashes. Because lash extensions don’t come in a strip, they are super customizable and actually look real. With proper care (keyword is care), they can last for up to six to eight weeks until they naturally fall out like your natural lashes usually do. Do eyelash extensions ruin your natural lashes? When done correctly, no, lash extensions will not damage your natural lashes. Lash extensions should never be stuck to one another, never double the length of your natural lash, or be too heavy for your natural lash strength. Those are the three main causes of natural lashes being damaged. At Glaminator Beauty Bar we take extra time to and training to make sure those things don't happen. Just so you know, it usually takes years of bad application and improper care for long-term lash damage to happen as a result. So please, only go to reputable, well-reviewed salons (no matter how good that Groupon deal is), and make sure your technician washes their hands between clients, wears a mask, uses sanitary pillow covers, sterilizes their tweezers, and uses disposable eyelash brushes. And yes, you are allowed to ask your technician to confirm all these things. How much does it cost to get eyelash extensions? In New York City, a basic set (typically 70 to 80 lashes per eye) can range anywhere from $100 to $400 plus gratuity, which is usually another 20 percent. And because eyelashes grow and eventually fall out, you have to go back every few weeks for fill-ins, which can cost anywhere from $50 to $165, depending on how many new lashes you need. Check Glaminator Beauty Bar Pricing *NOTE: The longer you go between fill-ins, the more lashes you’ll need to replace and the more it will cost you—and if you wait too long, your technician might just want to give you a brand-new set of extensions rather than a fill-in, which won’t be cheap. How do you know what size eyelash extensions to get? So you want Kardashian–level lashes? Awesome—but that doesn’t mean your eyes can handle them. The type of lashes you can apply all depends on the length and strength of your natural lashes. Wearing lashes that are too long or too thick for your lashes can actually cause damage in the long run, so you need to make sure your extensions aren’t too much longer or thicker than your natural lashes. When in doubt simply ask our Lash Glaminator's during the lash consult. We will help you make the best decision for your lashes, including what type of material you should get, like synthetic mink or synthetic silk. When it comes to density, curl, and length of your extensions, you’ll want to work with your tech to figure out which is the best option for you. Final Thought Okay, so there’s a lot to think about before you decide to get eyelash extensions. If you feel like mascara isn’t totally cutting it and you’re okay with the extra maintenance and cash that eyelash extensions require, it’s definitely worth finding a specialist and having a consultation.

Glaminator's unique hard wax blend was created to be loved by all types of skin & hair. Our premium low melting point waxes are produced using a blend of high quality resins and nourishing essential oils. The final result is a quality hard wax that you just can't get enough of.
HERE'S WHY: 1.HARD WAX STICKS TO THE HAIR, NOT THE SKIN Unlike soft wax, which requires the use of cloth strips, our custom hard wax blend is the only material we need to get your skin silky smooth. It dries and shrink wraps itself around the your hair transforming into a flexible strip. The wax only attaches to the hair follicle and not your beloved skin. This creates an easy , more pain fee removal process. 2. HARD WAX HURTS LESS You now know our custom hard wax blend doesn’t stick to skin, making the removal process is considerably more comfortable. Instead of worrying about rashes, cuts, and irritation to your skin, you will only feel the actual removal of the hair. 3. HARD WAX DOESN'T DISTORT YOUR HAIR FOLLICLES Just like soft wax, hard wax removes the hair from the root, so it takes longer for the hair to grow back compared to shaving or other forms of hair removal. But, what's unique about using our custom hard wax blend is its ability to remove hair from any angle. With soft wax, if the esthetician pulls the wax off in the same direction as the hair growth, it can distort the hair follicle. But what happens if the hair doesn’t all grow in the same direction? At Glaminator Beauty Bar this isn’t a concern because the hair follicle can be removed from any angle with no risk of damage to the hair follicle or your skin. 4. HARD WAX IS MORE THOROUGH Finally, hard wax can be reapplied to the same area in the same waxing session. With soft wax, if a few hairs are missed, the esthetician will likely use tweezers to complete the process. When using hard wax, if there's a few stray hairs left behind a Glaminator will simply apply a thin layer to those areas and peel again with minimal pain and minimal plucking!

Now, which is the best wax, hard wax or soft wax?
Waxing salons use different types of wax and the real difference lies within the quality. One type of wax does hurt less than another. I should mention we highly recommend going to a salon who puts their clients first. Unfortunately, some just care about how much money they spend on the wax, compared to the quality, safety and comfort of their customers. Here is a little information on the various types of wax used. Our goal is to keep our Glam Friends educated so they know we have their best interest at heart. Which kind of wax does Glaminator Beauty Bar use? Keep reading to find out! SOFT WAX Soft wax is applied to the skin in an extremely thin layer. It is very good for removing those finer hairs. After applying the wax it is then removed by placing a muslin strip on top of it and ripping it off. Soft wax adheres to the skin, meaning it removes layers of dead skin when it is being pulled off. This is why you cannot wax the same area twice with soft wax. The risk of lifting and pulling off live skin is greatly increased when this occurs. You may be left with results of bleeding, scarring and scabbing to the skin. With soft wax, there is the slight chance of being burned because the temperature needs to be higher in order to use the wax properly. The wax itself is very sticky so it can also be difficult to remove it all from the applied area. Many tend to think soft wax hurts a little bit more than hard wax because of this feeling. Soft wax is very popular within the waxing industry because a lot of wax doesn't have to be used on the area to get the job done. Soft wax also costs significantly less than hard wax which means the businesses have a higher profit margin. HARD WAX Hard wax (also known as strip-less wax) is applied to the skin and does not require a strip to be pulled off. Once the wax dries and hardens on its own, it can be removed directly since it does not have that "sticky" issue like soft wax. Hard wax adheres to the hair only, not the skin. This means the Esthetician can go over the same area multiple times without the risk of also lifting and pulling off the skin. The waxing session is known to be less painful since the wax is not tugging at the skin when it's being removed. Hard wax will solely pull out the hair resulting in a much more comfortable experience for the client. Hard wax requires a lower temperature to work properly which lessens the chance of a client being burned or feel any sort of pain. Depending on the area being waxed, more wax may have to be used meaning it may be more expensive for the business to use. However, isn’t a quality wax worth spending a little more money on compared to a cheap painful wax? We think so! Hard wax is especially great for sensitive areas like Brazilian waxing, bikini waxing, facial waxing and underarm waxing. At GBB, we use a custom blended hard wax. You will quickly see why everyone that has been Glaminated loves our wax over the rest! We invest in premium, high quality hard wax because we want to ensure our Glam Friends have the best experience when they come in for an appointment.

Stemming from experience, our own guests here at Glaminator Beauty Bar are more actively self-educating. They are checking labels for ingredients, watching videos and becoming curious about clean beauty, which often involves using ingredients that you might find on your plate rather than synthetically made in a lab. All you should want to do is show off your beautiful healthy skin. Here’s what you can expect to see more of in the future: 1. Clean Beauty, for Better or Worse, is Sticking Around Clean beauty is a vague term. Anything with organic or natural ingredients can be marketed as “clean,” but the problem is that none of those terms are regulated. “Organic” can mean multiple things, but typically, it means no pesticides were used or that most of the ingredients were grown organically. 2. Sustainable, or Green, Beauty will Remain on Trend The green, or sustainable, beauty trend, also called eco-beauty, is part of a larger life philosophy, an approach to self-care that emphasizes not being so engrossed in the mirror that you kick the earth to the curb. “Sustainability is a very positive movement from beauty to fashion and beyond. The term green beauty has taken on many meanings, but the most common ideal is a complete avoidance or minimization of synthetic preservatives and synthetic fragrance. Green beauty isn’t just about the ingredients in your skin care — it’s also about the packaging. An increasing number of beauty companies are transitioning packaging away from single-use plastics, for instance, and creating recyclable containers. 3. Skin Care will Get Even More Personalized, Thanks to Technology Technology will make it easier to deliver more personalized product formulas. For now, though, the customization is generally limited to quizzes, which can help identify your profile and skincare preferences. While these approaches to customized skin care are still fairly basic, DNA testing and AI are becoming more frequently used. Many at-home beauty devices, for example, use apps to diagnose skin issues and educate users on their skin type, which, eliminates the user error and misdiagnosis that can occur in other personalization profile quizzes. Until tech is mastered, your individualized skin-care regimen can be achieved from a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist who can examine your skin and discuss your goals and challenges.

From it being a painful process to the notion that your natural lashes will all fall out and cease to grow back ever again. As your trusted beauty experts we are here to try to set the record straight. We offer both lash extensions and lift and tint services so we see the process ourselves. If you have ever considered getting them done, read on! MYTH #1: Your eyelashes will fall out Honestly, your eyelashes fall out anyways. Most times you just don’t realize it because they’re small and fine, but our natural lashes fall out every four to six weeks just like the hairs on our head. Eyelash extensions only get a bad reputation because it’s more noticeable to spot natural eyelashes that have shed when they’re glued to long, thick, synthetic, and solid black fibers, and many don’t realize the process is normal and not a result of extensions. Myth #2: Your eyelashes will never grow back Your eyelashes will, in fact, grow back. How? Because of the lash shedding cycle, new natural eyelashes are always growing in, that's why you get "fills.” If new eyelashes weren’t always growing back, there would be nothing to fill. So, if eyelash extensions really made your eyelashes stop growing, refills wouldn’t even be possible, because there has to be a natural lash for the extension to adhere to. Myth #3: Eyelash extensions hurt Take it from Glaminators who have gotten them done several times: Nothing about the process hurts! It’s not a matter of tolerance levels; there simply is no pain involved in the eyelash extension process. If you are worried about someone using tweezers close to your eyes, you might feel anxiety, but pain is not part of the process. Myth #4: If you stop extensions your lashes will be thinner or shorter Getting eyelash extensions does not affect the natural growth cycle during or after you decide to stop getting them applied. Many feel that their natural lashes get thinner or shorter afterwards, but it's likely not the case. You get trained and used to waking up every day with thicker, dark, curled, longer lashes so, understandably, you think your eyelashes are thinner and shorter after the extensions have ended. In actuality, that is not the case and getting extensions has no chemical effect on the thickness or length of the lashes you were born with. Just like it was something you had to get used to when you first had them applied you'll also have to get used to not having them on again. That, or keep your extensions appointments. Myth #5: You must occasionally take breaks Many think that you have to take breaks from getting extensions in order to let your natural lashes breathe or redevelop. The idea that it’s not good to get repeated extensions because your eyelashes need breathing room is a mere myth. Your eyelashes wouldn't know that extensions are being applied to them, and they continue to shed off like normal, and a new natural lash will grow back, But it is completely up to you whether or not you wish to take a break. The only recommendation is to have your lashes applied by eye lash professionals. Myth #6: They take forever to be applied That depends on your definition of "forever." It can take forever if the lash technician you’re seeing is just starting out or is inexperienced and untrained. But eyelash professionals who fully specialize in eyelash extensions can perform a full set in just an hour. If you found this article helpful then let me know in the comments section below.
