Know your Products!

I have recently received some calls from professionals who mixed HD products with non HD products.  HD is what it says it is: High Definition.  If you use HD concealer, then you need to use HD foundation.  If you use HD foundation, then you need to use HD powder.  If you don't, the HD cameras will pick up what looks like spotty makeup.

Makeup Forever does a great job of keeping you in HD or regular products.  These products are a little more expensive, but well worth it if you are working with a professional photographer...you don't, however, need to use HD products for your everyday makeup.  The eye really can't see the difference.  But, oh, that camera!

Just some of the tips you'll learn in Makeup Training by Laurie Aiello.

The Steve Nason Artificial Heart Fund

I am creating "The Steve Nason Artificial Heart Fund."  ALL proceeds go this cause.   The correct name for the device that Steve received is "The Heartmate II LVAD"  Herein "LVAD."  This device is a bridge to "Transplant."

This fund will help those who have an LVAD or are seeking an LVAD.  Education and resources to healthcare, quality of living and medications will be a part of this program.  In addition, help Steve with out of pocket expenses that are tremendous!

Hoping that you will join me in this cause, as we all know, heart health is the number one issue of all Americans.

Thank you in Advance!  Laurie
