Before holiday time when we may be out more often to parties (not me) and holiday activities, any makeup questions for @Shanus? 

***Also making lists for Sephora sale.....

Hi,

Yes, something I've been wondering about.........Linda of Elysee Cosmetics used to say on her shows, 'see, I have no lines on my face at rest, but when I smile they are visible.' Well, now that's my story! LINES! But not at rest! So, my question is, what the heck does it mean???

@Judaline   You've reached the age, like some of us,  when skin has lines whether or not we're smiling.

If the lines are just beginning, you may choose Botox to paralyze the muscles involved or do as I do and accept the aging process with grace, moisturize a lot and maybe begin a retinoid/retinol routine.

Doing that-I have my mother's exact lines now!  I guess it was destiny!

@Judaline   I honestly believe genetics can be interrupted.

Hello my beauty buddy! Thanks for doing this! Your the bestest! My question is this: When applying skin care and makeup how much time do you allow to pass between steps? I hear beauty bloggers say… I allows my foundation to set down before I applied the next step. How much time is needed? Thank you!!

@Franklinbell   Great   question, bestest. I always allow skincare to settle in for about 20minutes. It goes on after shower, soI then do hair, dress, whatever. In a rush,I do have a small battery pink fan....Amazon..meant for the purpose of drying each layer (or hot flashes. Lol).

I let a liquid or cream foundation dry down for about 15 minutes before applying other makeup especially if powders. Cream products can be applied sooner.

@Shanus! Thanks! I need to make a few changes in my routine! I guess I can answer a few emails in the process! My boss will be thrilled! Lol I will look into the fan. I need a few for stocking stuffers for my friends that have experiencing a few private summers!

I don't want to be a buttinsky, but lots of beauty lines suggest "cocktailing" the serums. I do this a lot. It saves wait time. Plus, they say 'apply while skin is still damp' (from cleansing). So I do it real fast. hahaha.  Everything else? Whatever Shanus says.
