I don’t wish to sound redundant but I can’t emphasize strongly enough how important it is to consistently use sun block on your face. I had three clients this past week who believe their foundation has enough protection to protect their faces from the sun. Unfortunately, it is not! I highly recommend a higher level of sun screen and always carry a tube with you as in the heat it will need to be reapplied during the day.

For the past several years I have been invited to be a guest speaker at the Make-up Designory School, known as MUD. I enjoy sharing my experience and advising students how to approach the business and achieve their goals. As a token of their appreciation, they give me a few of their products to try. My favorite is their black eye liner pencil and I just placed a new order for my kit. Needless to say, I’ve tried every brand on the market and highly recommend the MUD product. You can purchase it at their store or order online: www.mudshop.com

I greatly appreciate everyone who took the time to come to the opening. Fabulous turnout! www.lorincoleart.com

One of the nicest people whom I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. “Rest in peace!”

Dear Blondes, In my opinion, the best root touch up I’ve ever come across is Roux Tweentime. Unfortunately, they discontinued the ash blonde claiming it was not making enough profit. Numerous inquiries finally led me to call Revlon to look into the matter. I was advised that the more people who called in,the greater the chances that they would redistribute the product back onto the market. Please call: 1 800- 933 4303 to hopefully rescind their decision. Thank you, L

Apparently, the price of makeup sharpener’s has risen in price and their longevity is decreasing. The art stores sell perfectly good sharpeners for one half the price.

For those looking to get rid of lines, wrinkles and considering lip enhancement, keep it conservative. If you choose to go heavy on the injections, consider that the skin will stretch and sag if you discontinue your procedures. My advice moving forward is to commit for the long haul.

Many root cover ups tend to look flat and don’t quite blend into hair color. By adding a touch of a shimmering eye shadow in close proximity with your hair color you’ll find it blends in better.

The price of makeup brushes have gone up and many people simply can’t afford them; however, there is another alternative. Go to an art store and check out their brands! Better yet, wait for their brush sales and you will get a good 50% off.
