SKIN CARE TIPS

• Clear healthy skin is the perfect canvas for makeup. Use Sacha’s simple but effective cleansing routine: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize, Renew.
• For excessively oily skin use our Purifying Gel Cleanser to gently wash away the excess oils.
• Regardless of skin color or skin type you must use a daily moisturizer with at least SPF 15 sun protection. This is one of the most important makeup tips. For dry skin use Sacha’s Hydration Plus Daily Moisturizer. For oily skin use Sacha’s Hydrating Daily Moisturizer. These moisturizers can be worn alone or as excellent under makeup bases.

FOUNDATION MAKEUP TIPS

• For a great makeover you must start with the right foundation. Whereas eye shadow, lipstick, and blush accent the face, it is the foundation that sets the tone for a woman’s appearance. Sacha’s foundations are all yellow-based.
• If you are like most women, you have yellow-based skin and must wear a yellow-based foundation. Our Sacha Foundations are available in cream, liquid, or dual activ (powder and foundation in one). Test your foundation on the jaw line or forehead.
• Sacha foundation shades “jump” equally. On your jaw line, apply the shade you believe to be closest to your skin tone. Apply the next lighter shade above and the next darker shade below. The shade that disappears into your skin, is the correct shade for your complexion.

FACE POWDER MAKEUP TIPS

• Set your foundations with a Sacha Loose Powder. Keep your compact powder handy for touch ups during the day. If you ’shine’ a lot you should use an oil absorbent powder such as Sacha’s Ultra Matte Powders in Light, Medium or Dark.

CHEEK COLOR MAKEUP TIPS

• When applying blush use a darker shade to contour your face and “lift” your cheekbones. Apply from the earlobe downward to mid-cheek so you do not leave a”blob”of color on the cheek. Use light colors of blush to highlight.

EYE MAKEUP TIPS

• Use Sacha’s eye shadows to reflect your every mood. With a bit of practice you can easily master how to apply your eye shadow. When applying eyeshadow, remember that dark colors recede features and light colors highlight.
• Apply the lightest shade over the entire eyelid.
• Apply the medium shade on the lower eyelid.
• Apply the darkest shade in the outer corner of the eye to create depth.
• Apply eyeliner with short strokes, starting form the center of the eye and working towards the corners.
• Mascara finishes your makeup. If you have dark eyes use black, navy, dark brown or clear mascara.

LIP COLOR MAKEUP TIPS

• Choose a lipstick which reflects your personal psyche. There are 48 colors from which to choose in the Sacha range.
• Use a lip brush when applying lipstick. It will not only help define the contours of your mouth, but also helps to control the amount of color that is applied.
• Applying powder lightly over the lips before applying lipstick helps it to stay on longer.
• Use Sacha’s Vitamin E Stick under your lipstick to condition and protect your lips from becoming chapped and dry.
• Use Sacha Lip Gloss alone to give a light, natural but finished look or over your lipstick to enhance its color.
• For easy lipstick stain removal, apply glycerine to affected area and wash as usual.

NAIL COLOR MAKEUP TIPS

• Select a nail polish to match the general tones of your makeup. For instance if you used natural shades on your eyes, lips and cheeks, then your nail color should also be natural.

CAMOUFLAGE MAKEUP TIPS

• Use Kamaflage Cover Cream to conceal your skin blemishes. Kamaflage is yellow based and like our foundations will perfectly match your skin tone. Use it as a concealer or as a foundation.

Make Your Face Look Slimmer
Use your make up blusher cleverly to slim down chubby cheeks

Purchase two shades of blush, one of a deeper shade and one that’s lighter. To ensure the shades go together, purchase a compact with two coordinating shades.
Apply your usual foundation make-up or powder to cover any imperfections and even out your skin tone.
Apply the lighter shade of blush in circular motions onto the apples of your cheeks… how do you to find your apples? Just smile!
Next, following the line of your cheekbones, apply a sheer sweep of the deeper shade of blush.
Blend, blend and blend. The key with this trick is to create dimension, but you do not want a very obvious demarcation between your natural cheek color and the blush (i.e. think stripes!).
Sweep a small amount of the lighter shade across your nose and/or forehead as desired to add an extra “glow” to your complexion.
