There is no denying that Beyonce has a great canvas to begin with ,  we've seen her without a drop of makeup on and she looks even more radiant than she does in full on glam.  In a recent interview with The Cut (Nymag.com)  Sir John , (Celebrity and Editorial Makeup Artist as well as the newly appointed Celebrity Makeup Artist / Ambassador for L'Oreal Paris ) gave a insider tip to obtaining a great glow.

Sir John mentioned that we can use Eye Cream beyond the eyes,  and use it on the entire face.
"I'm a skin-care junkie. I like to use eye creams around the face. I also like to use face creams on the body. I approach the body from head to toe as if the whole body will be seen. Most women concern themselves only with the area from hairline to the chin. It's not about that. It's about bringing the conversation of skin care into the décolleté, onto your back, and into your legs."  said Sir John .  Three options I like are 1.  Volante Skincare Transformative Eye Creme ($85) , 2. Tarte maracuja  c-brighter eye treatment ($38) , and lastly 3. Burt's Bees Brightening Eye Treatment ($20).  I've used all three of these eye creams personally ,  recently covered the Volante   I have been satisfied with the results of all three.

Sir John also commented on glowing from within , with the superfood Kale:

"But get your skin into good condition; drink kale. Kale is very high in vitamin K and it increases circulation and helps cell turnover. If you approach your makeup with a holistic approach to health, everything else seems a bit easier. "

You can also check out the new book The Beauty Detox Power , by Kimberly Snyder ( $19/Amazon) for great recipes ( that go beyond just the use of Kale)  to rejuvenate from within to get that glowing radiant skin.  Remember : SKIN is IN .

Happy Friday  + Get Glowing !! 

8 hours of sleep in a bottle - VOLANTÉ’s Transformative Eye Crème

Life sometimes gets in the way , and although we may want to get a full night of sleep - its not always that easy.  I can attest to that myself.  My little secret to ALWAYS looking refreshed and bright eyed ( when I really felt like anything but) has been  one thing - Eye Creme.  My current obsession is the Volante Skincare Transformative Eye Creme.  It does come with a hefty price tag at being $85 , but a little goes a VERY long way and it really is worth the investment.  I am a self proclaimed Makeup Snob, but I make a point to invest the time in a great skincare regimen .  This Eye Creme has 7 Vitae , which is a patent-pending blend of botanicals that comprise the most potent anti-inflammatory (anything anti inflammatory is a  MUST for under eyes) topical available without a prescription.
 Especially as we get older its much more vital.  Sleep is the best beauty routine , I will never say this will replace actual rest -  BUT  this Eye Creme really does improve the appearance of my delicate eye area despite my sleep deprivation.  My sleep routine has improved some but this is still in my regimen.  I love to use it before I apply my makeup -  the best thing to do is make sure it sets first then continue with your application.  I've noticed my under eye makeup does not crease and settle as much as it once was.  I love it at night before bed,  ( always make sure to use the ring finger , it is the most gentle).  I've been meaning to review this from about two Months ago, again I said  REAL life get in the way , but better late then never !  For more information , please check out VolanteSkincare.com .

Skin is In !  Take the best care of it !
