MOTHER'S DAY: FOR THE GRANDMOTHER

Posted by STETSON CREATIVE

Now on this day of celebrating mothers let's not forget that grandmothers are mothers too.  Most likely a spa day or a massage isn't what grandma is looking for, but what you can do, is put together some fabulous gifts that will make grandma feel 20 years younger.  From anti-aging serums to easy cosmetics, your grandmother is sure to love some of these Stetson Creative favorites!

FABULOUS AT EVERY AGE: 50'S

Posted by STETSON CREATIVE

You are at the age where pink lip gloss and green eyeliner starts to look a little silly, but you still want to look energetic and glamorous.  If you were smart, you have been taking care of your skin for AT LEAST the last ten years, but if not, there are some fabulous products out there that may work for you!


CORRECTIVE SERUMS!
There are hundreds (if not thousands) of products  out there designed to counteract fine lines, dark spots, rosacea, and more, so do some research and be aware that you may have to spend a pretty penny to find a serum that actually works.  Don't be sold by pushy sales people or flashy advertising; seek out an aesthetician who can give you some solid advice on which products to choose.  Boutique  skincare shops often employ these professionals and are a great resource!

HIGHLIGHTER!
Environmental stresses, oxidation, and more can start to leave your skin looking dull and lifeless, no matter how much you have moisturized and exfoliated for your entire life, so adding a luminous serum to brighten your face may just do the trick!  TIP: After foundation, tap concealer under the eyes, especially in the inner corners.  Then dab over laugh lines and blend.  Once you have set your makeup, use a  sponge to dab highlighter on your cheekbones, bridge of nose, and in the V of the upper lip, for a perfectly finished, luminous glow.

PETER THOMAS ROTH Un-Wrinkle Conceal and Brighten
This dual-purpose makeup provides a wrinkle-releasing concealer on one end, and a bightener on the other, for one stop to fabulous, younger-looking skin!

$35 - Sephora Stores www.sephora.com

LIPSTICK!
Choosing the right lipstick can really add that finished look to your face.  Avoid bright orange-based colors and trendy neons, and opt instead for blue-based lipsticks like a dusty rose or burgundy in a long-wear formula that won't slip into fine lines around the mouth.  TIP: For a flawless lip that lasts all day, fill in the entire lip with a lip liner that is one shade darker than your chosen lipstick.

CHANEL Rouge Allure
Luminous Satin Lip Color.  Try in #79 - Impertinente.

$32 - Chanel www.chanel.com

NAILS!
If you are still feeling youthful and ambitious, this is where you can still have fun without looking liked a clown!  Try the seasons trendy nail colors, but stay away from that matte nail color.  An ultra-shiny, professionally manicured nail will show the world that you still take great care with your appearance and that you are still a force to be reckoned with!

NARS Vintage Nail Polish
Limited edition vintage colors are the perfect accessory!

$17 - NARS Cosmetics www.narscosmetics.com

SPRING TREND: DARK METALLIC NAILS

Posted by STETSON CREATIVE

Think that your dark nail polish would go out of style this Spring? Think again....this season continues with the dark nail trend, adding shine to what was once matte, so try one of the hot Spring colors, or add a metallic topcoat to your existing shades.

TIP: This Spring, stay away from black nails.  instead, opt for navy, brown, and silver...a more stylish counterpart!

FRAGRANCE: VALENTINES GIFTS FOR HIM AND HER!

Posted by STETSON CREATIVE

Its creeping up faster than you think....that Hallmark holiday that most of us dread every year.. VALENTINE'S DAY! We all know that fragrances (along with chocolates and flowers) are among the most popular gifts for this holiday, so hopefully we can de-mystify finding the perfect fragrance for your special someone.

First of all, you are going to want to look at what you want this fragrance to say about your man (or woman).  Is this person easy-going and bright, dark and sophisticated, or down to earth and romantic? You also may want to consider sticking to a Spring/Summer fragrance for a Valentine's Day gift as these seasons are quickly approaching.  What I recommend, is knowing what their current fragrance is, doing some research on the scent story, and pick a fragrance in a similar range, but maybe with an updated appeal! The #1 rule of shopping for fragrance is make sure to GET A RECEIPT and KNOW THE RETURN POLICY in case your partner doesn't share your scent sentiment!
