In today’s trying times, many of us can identify with Elizabeth Taylor’s famous quote, “Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick and pull yourself together.” We wholeheartedly agree that adding a pop of color to your lips can make all the difference in your attitude - after all, to look good is to feel good! 

There are so many colors and formulas of lip color out there, but choosing the perfect one doesn’t have to be daunting! Here are a few tips and tricks to make sure you find one that’s just right. 

💄 Do you have a cool (pink) or warm (yellow) skin tone? The quickest way to tell: check out the veins in your wrists: are they blue (cool) or green/blue (warm)? Cool skin tones are often fairer, and warm skin tones are golden or olive. If it’s really hard to tell which you are, you may be neutral. Lucky you!

💄 If you have cool undertones, lip colors with blue or pink undertones, like cranberry or plum, will probably look best. For warmer skin, try more earthy shades like brick reds or terra cotta. Neutral skin tones can rock almost any shade!

💄 Wish you had fuller lips? Glosses such as Lip POP will make your lips appear larger, and creamy, matte formulas, like our Lip LIQ, are longer wearing. Lip stains have major staying power, and our Lip DYE can be layered on to go from subtle to bold. 

💄 The easiest way to select a shade that you know will be flattering is to choose one a shade or two darker than your natural lip.

So, let’s start a fun social media movement! Put your favorite lipstick on, snap a selfie and use the hashtag #ifeelpretty. Don’t forget to tag @elevecosmetics!

Highlighter is one of the best beauty products out there because a tiny amount makes a huge impact. Think of it as a spotlight on your face! When you apply it correctly, it instantly makes you look radiant, and who doesn’t want that!?

How often do we actually stop to show ourselves some good old-fashioned self love? As women, we often get wrapped up in taking care of everyone around us and don’t stop to pamper ourselves! Even if you put all your energy into your work or family and feel like there’s not enough hours in the day, taking time for yourself is a crucial part of a happy and healthy mindset.

💞 One easy way to treat yourself is taking the time to do your nails! It’s so much easier to feel put together when you have a fresh coat on! Our Nail Pop {Nontoxic Nail Polish} is not only chip-resistant, but it’s also free of the top ten toxic ingredients found in most nail polishes! Gigi {Pearlescent White} and Clara {Sheer Pink} are the most perfect versatile shades that make this self-care step a no brainer!

💞 Maybe a lip plumper is the little splurge you deserve. Our Lip Amp {Lip Plumper} is formulated to stimulate collagen production, while also moisturizing and volumizing your lips! This beauty is guaranteed to add a pop to your everyday look and is also perfect for a flirty Valentine’s Day lip.

💞 Introducing a powerhouse product into your skincare routine is a little something extra you could do for your skin’s health. Our Organic Golden Beauty Oil {Cell Renewal Power Treatment} is a highly concentrated blend of 15 supercharged ingredients that will leave your skin feeling refreshed, repaired and glowing! 

Taking the time to focus on yourself is so important! Even if it is something as simple as freshly polished nails, perfectly plumped lips, or a new holy grail skincare product! 

Properly exfoliating your skin may be the answer to your prayers. Not only does it help remove dead skin cells but it allows your other products to work more efficiently! 

🌺 Exfoliating your face is like giving yourself a fresh canvas; it evens out your skin tone and is a good preventative tool. It will clear clogged pores and leave you glowing. Also, since you are removing dead cells, it stimulates collagen production, which means tighter and younger looking skin!

🌺 Keep in mind, exfoliating using harsh abrasive products can lead to irritation, which can cause more breakouts or even enhance aging. Using our gentle TEN {The Perfect Night Cream} will ensure that your skin is getting the love and attention it needs! It has a combination of four different acids at a total of 10% concentration. This state-of-the-art complex is unique in the skincare world and is sure to work wonders on your skin.

🌺 Also, since it’s a moisturizer, TEN will do a multitude of other things—such as tighten pores, diminish wrinkles, prevent acne, and fade dark spots, all while keeping your skin supple!

Preventing skin damage and restoring your skin’s youthful glow doesn’t have to be challenging. Taking the clean beauty route will ensure you feel good about the products you’re using, and your future self will thank you!

Protecting your skin from environmental elements is just as important as moisturizing. Applying an SPF should be something you do rain or shine! Adding this simple step into your routine will help prevent damage, which means not having to correct and conceal later down the road. In fact, studies show that UV rays are responsible for 80% of skin’s aging!
