• KILLER CHEEK BONES

     



    Moment of clarity: some of us can front a battle with our cheekbones worthy of the deadliest ‘Game of Thrones’ episode… and some of us could be the fourth chipmunk in Jason Lee’s most questionable roles (yes, it was more than one).

    For the former, kudos to you and your parents for granting you the bone structure that the latter would kill for and for the latter, kudos because full cheeks are a wonder as you age (a win-win situation is hard to come by these days!).

    Nevertheless, we always want what we can’t have; BUT fortunately, what we can’t have we can always fake!

    So take a look at our step-by-step guide on how to get those ice cutting cheekbones.  Remember, if you want to go head to head with Leigh Lezark in a bone structure competition executing step 1 is a MUST.

    NOW GO!

    Step 1

    -     Select one of the two Get Glowing! Cheek Tint and Luminizer that compliments your skin tone. Get Lit/In the Pink blush duo is best for fare to light skin tones and Goldrush/Afterglow Bronze duo is best for medium to dark skin tone.

    Step 2

    -     Apply blush or bronzer to your cheek using your ring finger or a brush. Layer the color for a more dramatic look.  Repeat on the other cheek.

    Step 3

    -     Now, to create an illuminating look, apply Luminizer of Get Glowing! Cheek Tint and Luminizer in either Get Lit or Afterglow, on the contour of your cheekbones towards your temples and underneath your eyebrow.  Also, to brighten up add a dab at the inner corner of the eye, and at the top of your cupids bow to give the appearance of much fuller lips. Remember, product will go from a cream to a powder finish as you blend it out to give you that finished look.

    Step 4:

    -     Even out your cheeks and add more makeup as desired using the technique above. If you want to create a more intense look, layer on the product. Layering on the product, you will be able to create a more intense look.  To even out the look and get a long lasting look you can lightly brush on a translucent powder over the just applied Get Glowing!

    Step 6:

    -     Prepare yourself for killer skin, killer cheek bones and absolutely killer compliments!

  • Digital Makeover Anyone? A Letter..

    Since our launch in 2010 is has been a seriously crazy/ exciting/ rewarding time for BFR and as far as we can tell, 2012 will be even better!  First, we must apologize for being a little “distant” lately. But unlike ex boyfriends and one-sided friendships this IS for the best, we promise.  At BFR we have been working nonstop to enhance our digital footprint in an effort to make you fall in love with us even more. We are not only the re strategizing our social media activity, interaction and blog but we are also working on the complete re launch of our website. Yes, we are making over our digital identity, but we are doing it in a way that remains true to BFR and therefore you as our customers.   Though we might have disappeared, hopefully you noticed that we jump started our social media activity lately and in a few short weeks the complete re launch of www.beautyforreal.com  will seal the deal.  The name of the game is getting to know you better.  As our customers, you are our inspiration, and in reality our best product developers.  So what we do, we do to help you and that is something that we at BFR want to continue, especially digitally.

     We want to use Facebook and Twitter not as promotional platforms but as a bridge between us.   We have so much respect for you and all that you do.  When you are busy juggling 20 balls in the air, we notice. When you can’t get that smoky eye just right, we understand, and when nothing but a strong red lip will make you feel better, we want to be the one handing you the gloss. But, like all important relationships, for this conversation to work it cannot be that dreaded ‘one sided friendship’. We need YOU.  YOUR engagement with us is what will make this go round.  Share with us, interact with us, have a relationship with us!  In the next few weeks you will find that www.beautyforreal.com has a cleaner look, is an easier shopping experience and offers multiple chances for us to connect.  A digital bond like never before.
