The 10 Makeup Brushes Every Women Should Own.

I love this article. I found it on Huff Post Style, The 10 Makeup Brushes Every Woman Should Own – by Sarah Kelsey. This article is as direct as it gets, which I LOVE. After reading this article you will know what makeup brushes you need, why you need them and how having the right makeup brushes will make your makeup journey a bit easier. Helping make your beauty journey a bit easier is The Achievable Fashion Beauty Reports mission, so I am thrilled to report this article to you.

Now that will you know what 10 makeup bushes you should own, I am sure your next question will be, where do I purchase these 10 makeup brushes? Part of the answer to that depends on your budget. Achievable Fashion caters to everyday ladies, for the most part everyday ladies stick to strict budgets when shopping.

From experience I can tell you expensive does not always mean better. If you are building your makeup brush set from scratch, I suggest getting what you need inexpensively. Then over time add higher priced bushes into your kit one at a time. You may never see the need for more expensive brushes and that is ok.

Elf has a large selection of budget friendly brushes.

Beauty.com has a large selection of brushes if you are looking to invest a bit more.

Apply Color Theory to Eye Shadow – Beauty Report Article of the Month!

I have found the first Achievable Fashion Beauty Report Article of the Month! (I am so excited!)

Let’s review who gets the coveted Article of the Month Award. As you know, I spend my time trolling the web and flipping through magazines to find useful information that will help women along their fashion and beauty journey. I decided to do this because whenever I needed fashion or beauty information I would search for hours only to come up with a bunch of nonsense. Nonsense that was geared for the ultra-young, ultra – rich, ultra – beautiful and ultra – thin.

I became overwhelmed, confused and annoyed every time I needed information on either fashion or beauty. Because I was overwhelmed, confused and annoyed I thought others might be too. Because the fashion and beauty world seemed to cater to the “Ultras “of the world I decided to create a website that would cater to everyday women, which I affectionately refer to as the masses! With that, I have made it my job to sift through the sea of fashion and beauty information, throw out the nonsense and report the useful stuff, you know the stuff we real ladies – the masses – can use. Whatever article I feel is the most useful of the articles I find each month gets the coveted Article of the Month Award!

Any who, back to the first ever Beauty Article of the Month. I love this article, “Handy Hint – Makeup Color Wheels.” I love it because I don’t think many of us know what we are doing when it comes to selecting eye shadow. I know that before I began researching makeup, what colors to wear, how to apply, should I wear shimmer, etc. I had no clue what I was doing. All I knew was that some days my eye makeup looked good and other days it did not. I had absolutely no clue why it looked good sometimes or why it looked horrid other times.

When it comes to making our eyes look amazing there are many things we need to know. One of the things we need to know is which colors work best for the color of our eyes. Although there are not hard core rules these days when it comes to eye shadow color, there are some definite colors that will highlight your eyes and make them pop! Utilizing color theory when selecting eye shadow will have your eyes standing out, not the eye shadow.

Although using color theory when selecting eye shadow color will have our eyes looking there best, color theory is not something we usually associate with eye shadow. We are taught and think color theory when it comes to art, but rarely do we apply this knowledge to our eye shadow selecting. And unless we have taken art at some point, we may not have a clue about color theory. Thus the reason for all the incorrect eye shadow colors being touted around town! When you apply color theory to selecting eye shadow colors, your eyes look their best!

I love this article because it explains how to apply color theory when selecting eye shadow colors. After reading this you will have a clear understanding of what eye shadow colors will work best for your eye color.

This article is named Article of the Month this month because it is information every women can easily apply to themselves making their beauty journey a bit easier.

The Rules of Red Lipstick – Good Housekeeping Magazine

Okay, have you ever looked at a classic beauty with red lips and thought, “I could do that?”Then you did it only to look like a fool… I have. In fact I can’t seem to get red lips right.

I have dark hair, dark eyes –so dark you can barely see my pupils – so one might think red would look great on me. A no-brainer. Not so much.

So I figure if I, an intelligent woman who happens to be in the beauty industry has a hard time getting red lips right, than perhaps some of you do too. Which is the very reason I decided to share this article –“The Rules of Red Lipstick” – Good Housekeeping Magazine with you.

I am thinking I may even wear lips to a holiday shindig this year!

Enjoy!
