What is the benefit of a foundation primer? The benefit is that your makeup will go on smoother, stay on longer, and look fresher throughout the day. That means you can put your makeup on and go all day long without needing to touch up.

Elain's Perfect Finish Foundation

What do women want when it comes to their skin? They want it to look flawless.

Women desire smooth, youthful, and fresh looking faces. While makeup alone is not the answer - it all starts with a good skin care regimen - a quality foundation is quite literally the "foundation" to a beautiful makeup. Once you've prepared your canvas ( face ) by cleansing and moisturizing it, now it is ready for you to lay that foundation.

Elain Perfect Finish Foundation is a unique sheer, water-based formula that provides a lightweight texture and seamless finish. It helps smooth fine lines and imperfections. It is excellent for all skin types and gives you a soft finish all day. This gives you that solid foundation on which to build the rest of your makeup upon.

One of the benefits of this product is that it is mineral based so it does not clog pores or feel heavy. It glides smoothly on the skin and blends out very easily. You can choose from four versatile shades: Ivory, Beige, Natural and Sand.

Now achieving that flawless skin is not so challenging thanks to Elain Cosmetics!

How to Make Your Eyes Pop - Eyeliner and Your Eyes

How to Make Your Eyes Pop - (I) Eyeliner and Your Eyes

Makeup is a great way to express your mood, it is not permanent so you can change it as often as you like. You can change it by seasonal trend or according to your outfit - whatever makes you feel good about yourself.

One thing that can help you out is understanding your face - what is your best or favorite feature? Maximize that strength and build around it. Many women love to focus on their eyes but are not sure how to use eyeliner to make the eyes luminous. Let's start there.

Catherine Zeta Jones plays up her lovely honey colored eyes, upping the drama by rimming them with a smoky liner.

What about you...

1. If your eyes are close set (close together) - Line your upper lashline partially, start your line about the inside edge of your iris and slightly widen the line toward the outer corner of your eye, finishing just past the edge of your eye.

2. If your eyes are wide set (farther apart) - Starting at the inner corner of your lashline, begin with a slightly wide line and gradually taper it as you move to the outer corner of your eye. Stop your line just where the outer corner of the eye stops.

3. If your eyes are small - Keep your eyeliner close to the lashline and really emphasize the outer corner of your upper and lower lid to draw the attention outward.

4. If your eyes and eyelids are round - Use a thicker eyeliner all the way across the eyelid with the outer corner a bit fuller to create an illusion of less eyelid which helps bring visual balance.

5. If you have Asian eyes - On your upper lashline, begin by drawing a thin line starting at the inside corner and gradually thicken it as you near the outer corner. Finish by bringing the edge of the liner slightly beyond the end of your lashline.

You may choose to use a pencil or liquid. Whichever you choose, go ahead and play up those eyes! If you can't decide...try our Elain Duet Eyeliner which has both a pencil and a liquid liner in one product. Enjoy!

Classic Marilyn Monroe ala Elain

Marilyn Monroe is an American icon. Her sultry style mixed with innocence has been imitated the world over. Here we have recreated her most famous makeup look using Elain Cosmetics. The basic elements are a soft white eyelid, a neutral crease, strong black eyeliner, a dramatic arched brow, bold lips, and of course, the famous beauty mark.

We used our Silver Sparkle Stick as a base with Silver Star Catch Me Powder over it.
Passion Bond Electric Eyes was blended through the crease and slightly up on the brow bone. The lashline was defined with Duet Eyeliner in Black then finished with two coats of Luscious Lashes.

A sweep of Peach Beige Chic Blush onto the cheeks and Sexy Rouge Bijou Beam on the lips completes the look. The final touch is a light dusting of our ultra silky Absolute Powder.
