On July 24, 2013, the Long Island Professional Women’s Network (LIPWN) and GEM Media Marketing Productions hosted, The Mind Body Spirit Stress Management & Health Expo LI at Carlyle On The Green at Bethpage State Park, Farmingdale. With over 50+ vendors, exhibitors and sponsors on display, including health and holistic practitioners, the emphasis was on natural and holistic health, personal growth, natural weight loss, nutrition, yoga, massage, spirituality, meditation, bio-feedback, psychic and spiritual advisory, Reiki, Tai Chi, aromatherapy, vegan health, complementary medicine and nutrition, and more.

The Expo was dedicated to helping individuals improve their overall health, well-being and QUALITY OF LIFE, with the proceeds benefiting The Maurer Foundation for Breast Health Education on Long Island.

I love the luminance and bronzed glow that can be created with the right cosmetics. Bronzer is a make-up accessory! To get a natural, healthy glow, be sure to use the correct shade and a formula that allows for flawless application.

If you use a liquid foundation, it is best to use a bronzing powder. Powder can set your foundation and help eliminate unwanted shine. When choosing a bronzing powder, make sure it is a “buildable” formula that blends well and layers exquisitely. Select a shade that enhances your skin tone and does not make you look too dark or orange.

My bronzer of choice is a powder made for women of all skin types and skin tones. No guesswork required. I recommend your formula consist of skin conditioners and antioxidants to soothe and heal your skin as well as look great. Apply with a kabuki or flat top powder brush. Lightly sweep on the areas where the sun lands on your face. Applying bronzer on these facial features gives you the sun-kissed look you desire.

sun-kissed and radiant all year long

“ Liquid body bronzers are great for an all-over body glow.”

Apply a liquid or cream bronzer with a foundation brush. A brush will give you even coverage and avoid streaking. Work bronzer into your brush. Gently pat the product into your skin. Highlight the cheekbones with a little on the nose, forehead and jaw line.

Liquid body bronzers are great for an all-over body glow. For dry skin, blend a little body moisturizer with your bronzer before you apply.

Enjoy your “Miami glow” and sport your sun-kissed look all year long!

Affirming your elegance…because it matters.
