<p>Follow these steps to having Gorgeous Brows...</p>
<p>To make sure your brows are in tip top shape, you need to consult an expert.</p>
<p>Studio CARA is the top brow studio in Central Florida. The difference between a brow wax and a brow design is HUGE! And most places that offer brow waxing take less than 10 minutes to do it.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">At Studio CARA your first appointment will take about 30 to 40 minutes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">We pride ourselves on analyzing the face, the brow growth and your personality to create the perfect design for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">Leslie Christin has created the looks for many celebrities including Alana de la Garza, Elizabeth Hurley, Mary Stuart Masterson, and her signature makeup line CARA Cosmetics can be found in many Makeup artists kits, being used on such shows like:&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">Vampire Diaries, Suburgatory, Law and Order, Meet the Parents, Magic City and many more...</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Make an appointment to have your brows professionally designed, so they are not too thin or too bushy.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>Before your appointment follow these steps:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Let your brows grow out for at least 2 weeks if your shape needs some help! We need enough hair to work with to sculpt a beautiful brow.</li>
<li>About 1 week before your appointment, stop using any retinols and topical medications that will cause your skin to peel or thin.</li>
<li>Do not receive any peels or microdermabrasion treatments.</li>
<li>Get your brows shaped 2 to 3 days before any special event.</li>
<li>To keep your brows looking perfect we recommend you rebook for a brow redo every 3 to 4 weeks.</li>
<li>Don't forget to fill in your brows with a CARA eye brow pencil or a shadow like malta, ifni or havana to complete the perfect arch.</li>
</ul>

<div><span>
<div>The holiday time always makes me reflect and ponder over the passing year. As you some of you know, I am having a milestone birthday this year!!!! I am turning 50 and this is a WOW experience. What the heck have I done in those past 50 years???&nbsp;</div>
<div>I have been slowly doing an inventory of my years and I am realizing that I have done a lot, (even though I don't think so at times) and so much I am grateful for! &nbsp;And there is SO much more I intend on doing, discovering and creating.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>At the forefront of my mind, is to acknowledge that the past 15 years of my life and CARA Cosmetics' would not be complete without you.&nbsp;</div>
</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Thanksgiving is about acknowledgement. Everyone gives Thanks for what is most important in our life and I realized that this should be my daily affirmation.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;"><br /></span></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>My Thanksgiving wish is:</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">For everyone that I love to know it, to feel beautiful, to feel appreciated, to feel empowered, to feel successful, to feel healthy, to feel magic, to feel energized, to feel intelligent, to feel happy, to feel inspired, to feel respected, to feel honored, to feel kindness, to feel creative, to feel light and to feel free...</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">My deepest Thanks for being you and being a part of mine and CARA Cosmetics life. I look forward to a miraculous and abundant 2013 for all!</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Happy Thanksgiving with love,</div>

Making a gorgeous lip is not always an easy task and may require some skill and precision.</p>
<p>Here are some helpful tips that can make your lips smooth, gorgeous and brilliant!<span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.studiocara.com/storage/products/lips/lipstick.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1349840167709" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong>&nbsp;- Moisturize your lips the night before with a great lip treatment like Skinceuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>&nbsp;- In the morning, exfoliate your lips. Apply a little bit of the CARA Microderm cream and brush them with your toothbrush or your facial brush.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong>&nbsp;- Sharpen your lip pencil, - I love <a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/lips/">"Dune"</a> it is a great nude color that gives your lips fullness without looking lined.</p>
<p><strong>Note: You don't have to match your pencil with your lipstick color. Try mixing and matching some different shades.<span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 175px;" src="http://www.studiocara.com/storage/products/lips/lip-pencil.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1349839930291" alt="" /></span></span><br /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Longlasting tip-</strong>&nbsp;Fill your lip with the lip pencil and brush it with a clean lip brush. This will prevent the lips from bleeding and looking like the have the OLD School liner look.</p>
<p><strong><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 175px;" src="http://www.studiocara.com/storage/products/brushes/brush-6.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1349839871788" alt="" /></span></span>Step 4</strong>&nbsp;- Apply your lipstick with a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/brushes/">CARA Lip Brush</a>, it is made of the highest grade of kolinsky sable and it also has a cap, so you can pop it in your purse and keep your lips looking gorgeous and hydrated all day.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5</strong>&nbsp;- For an extra pout add a bit of gloss to the lower lip (especially for mature lips - make sure you don't overload on the gloss)</p>
<p><strong>Step 6</strong>&nbsp;- Give someone a big KISS!</p>

<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Leslie has created some "On camera makeup tips and Must Have products for fitness lovers"</strong></div>
<div><strong><br /></strong></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">For all you gorgeous ladies that are new to video or even the camera veterans; "High Definition Video" is now in full force and you want to prepare your makeup arsenal with the proper products right for you.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>As you well know, it is not the kindest of media, so I have prepared a list of tips and techniques that will make you camera ready every time.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">First off it is very important that you know what the camera likes and what reads best.&nbsp;</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>TIP 1</strong>: DO NOT USE HIGH SHIMMER, GLITTER OR FROSTED EYESHADOWS.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>TIP 2</strong>: REMOVE SHINE FROM YOUR FACE. CAMERAS EXACERBATE SHINE.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>TIP 3</strong>: DO NOT USE FROSTY OR OVERLY SHINY LIPSTICKS AND LIPGLOSSES.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>TIP 4</strong>: EMPHASIZE A HEALTHY SKINTONE WITH PEACHES, CORALS AND WARM PINKS.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Step 1</strong>: Prepare your canvas with an oil free foundation such as&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/face/">CARA Perfecta Base</a>. This all mighty high-coverage foundation will cover your flaws in a cinch! Just apply it with the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/brushes/">CARA Kabuki Brush</a>&nbsp;for an airbrushed look. (a little bit goes a long way)</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Step 2</strong>:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/face/">Concealer</a>&nbsp;is key, always, always use concealer! Even if you think you don&rsquo;t have dark circles under the eyes, the camera loves concealer. It is amazing how this will make your eyes look open, awake and bright! Apply concealer about 2 shades lighter than your skintone with the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/face/">#3 CARA Concealer brush</a>.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Also try using CARA Concealer over the eyelids &ndash; it acts as an eyeshadow base. Make sure you apply our&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/face/2011/9/20/hi-definition-loose-powder.html">CARA High Definition loose powder</a>&nbsp;lightly before putting on your eyeshadows. Attention all you heavy handed girls -Don&rsquo;t overdo it! CARA concealer is high coverage and pigment packed, this little container lasts for 8 to 12 months.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Step 3</strong>: For that long-lasting flawless finish I use&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/face/">CARA Mineral Base Compact</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;I always use 2 different shades: one for contouring and one for brightening. The shade BR-3 is perfect for all you tanned girls to accentuate under the cheekbone and jawline.</div>
<div></div>
<div>To highlight over the cheekbone, forehead and bridge of nose O-4 shade is gorgeous. You can also mix the 2 colors together to achieve your perfect shade if needed.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Step 4</strong>: For gorgeous long lasting eyes, I first curled Jaime&rsquo;s lashes and applied a coat of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/eyes/">CARA Lash Thickener</a>(allow it to almost dry) then I applied 2 coats of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/eyes/">Jet waterproof (black) mascara</a>.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Step 5</strong>: For video, lip color should be a little brighter. &nbsp;Jaime&rsquo;s lip color is a fresh gorgeous peachy pink&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/lips/">lipstick CATALINA</a>, topped off with&nbsp;<a href="http://www.caracosmetics.com/lips/">Aurora lipgloss</a>.&nbsp;</div>
<div></div>

<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>Eyes:</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">First Beijing was applied to the outer half of the lid and Juneau was applied to the inner corner of the eye with a #4 brush. Then, blend the two together so a wash of color is achieved across the lid.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Next, Kenya was used along the crease with a #14 brush. Using a #14 brush in the crease will give you a more prominent crease, if you prefer it more blended, a #15 brush can be used instead. &nbsp;</div>
<div></div>
<div>Using the #15 brush from the centre of the eye, blend Taos into the outer part of the crease. To add more smokiness and depth a little bit of Lisboa was added to the outer corner of the eye with a #13 brush.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Next the Brown eyeliner was applied along the lash line and smudged &nbsp;with a #13 brush with Viena to diffuse the line. Juneau was added to the very inner tear duct area of the eye to make the eye pop! With a swipe of the amazing lash thickener, and Jet mascara, you are all set for a night at Carnival!</div>

<div></div>
<div>Face:</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Under the foundation Inca Skinshimmer was applied along the orbital bone, the nose bridge, and in the cupids bow &nbsp;to give an all over bronzey glow. Taos was used to give a slight contour along the cheekbone (Brush #2B) with Congo laying on the apple (#2 Brush). If the bronze glow needs to be more intense, you can add Inca Shimmer Powder over those areas where you put the liquid skinshimmer. Finish off with the HD powder to mattify any oily areas.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Lips:</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Take the Dune lip pencil and trace the natural lip shape. Next, depending on skin tone, either use Nude, or Odyssey to give the lips a nice neutral base, and then make them luscious with the Elara lipgloss!!</div>

<p><strong>Alison Corvi, (<a href="http://www.studiocara.com/enter-contest/">Studio CARA's shopping spree contest</a> winner for March 2012) had some great feedback we thought our CARA Fans would love to hear! She shared with us...</strong></p>
<p><em> "I love your cosmetics! I'm a recent graduate (a year ago) from&nbsp;Paul Mitchell School in North Haven, CT, and have been using the contents of my kit for my own personal use. I'm wondering why I didn't use them sooner much after graduation? I love the way we were set up with warm, neutral and cool color palates. That clearly has helped me to visually see make-up application in a different light, not only for my own use but when I apply to others as well. While my focus is strictly hair at this point, I do have occasion to help friends with their make-up application and would love to expand my color palates with more. Thank you, Leslie."</em></p>
