This month, I'm turning a year older. October is my birth month so it's very timely that I write about Rae Morris' Timeless Makeup. (can anyone guess how old I am?) It's a step-by-step guide to looking younger and aging with grace. It's a go-to resource book on things about fine lines and evolving skin. Surely, our skincare and makeup techniques when we were in our early twenties won't really be as effective ten years after (no I'm not thirty!); so if you're the type who feels a bit lost at what you're doing--Timeless Makeup* is the book that can help you adapt to the changes in you body and skin.
It has very useful tips from the basics of skincare to the technicalities of choosing the right foundation shade and formulation for your skin type. It has itsy bitsy trade secrets on making fine lines less noticeable (or the ways your makeup choices can sometimes make fine less more visible--and how to avoid those common mistakes); while it also discusses a rich and healthy wellness outlook that is in keeping with feeling good about the self and about the changing world around you.
Professionals and non-professionals of the makeup world has mountains of new lessons waiting for them between Timeless Makeup's pages. If you dare to accept the inevitable evolution of your beauty, you should pick up as early as now and understand the ways you can make aging more beautiful for you.
Speaking of beauty... I would like to launch a birthday giveaway alongside this beauty book review. Because October is my birthmonth and I love lipsticks, I'm giving away two lovely lipsticks from one of the most timeless beauty brands out there, Guerlain. I'm keeping things simple and luxurious this time around. I know a lot of you would like to own a Guerlain lipstick so here's your chance to win two Guerlain lippies!

I love reading beauty books. There's always a few new things I can learn from them! =) and I'm surprised to hear you aren't in your early 20s. I thought you were! Haha :D~
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway~
i am! OMG did i make myself sound older? omg that would be the day, if i ever sound older. talk to me on the phone and i swear, i have gradeschooler voice. when im kinikilig, i turn kinder haha
Deletebeauty timeless secrets? I love using Olay as moisturizer. I apply it after I take a bath and before putting on powder. For facial cleanser, I found a new love by the name of Pevonia :)
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to switch to Olay to give it a shot cause my mom swears by it and i do love their eye cream, but i always end up opening a diff brand whenever i use up my moisturizer :D
DeleteI am definitely joining.. :)
ReplyDeleteIts been months since i am wanting and saving up for a lippy but i always set aside the want. Kids needs at school comes first. :) For now I work on my ever dependable lip balm which I got from one of the contest on Facebook :).
My beauty secret.. no specific brand really.. im very adventurous when it comes to different products to try on. The one thing i always do is spend at least 40 mins taking a bath which I enjoy so much. scrub .. scrub! :)
good luck magzdc! :D wow 40min baths are a luxury for me! at night, maybe but in the morning omg i always am in a rush!

Deletethanks for the recommendation! i'll start saving money na! heheh :)
DeleteI don't really have time beauty secret. but i believe that i always wash my face before i sleep.
ReplyDeleteI love using homemade salt scrub to brush off dead skin cells. I do this by mixing some iodized salt, drops of olive oil (or mineral oil) and some lavender scent. It leaves my skin velvety smooth and soft. Try it, Kumiko Mae! =)
ReplyDeletehi!!:D i love to use baking soda to exfoliate my skin..& it works for me,. & also lately, i use human heart Nature sun Flower Oil, it's very effective.. it helps diminish my stretch marks & dark spots.. :D
ReplyDeletei use facial mask twice a week & exfoliate my skin so that it will stay soft & clean ! i joined your giveaway :D
ReplyDeletehmmm if you talk about timeless beauty secret I probably don't have one. but Eskinol Facial Cleanser has been in my skin care routine for a while now and has made my skin smoother.
ReplyDeleteI always put MAC lip conditioner before applying lipstick and at night before going to sleep.It reduces dryness and lip lines.Kissable Lips here. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kumiko Mae,
ReplyDeleteIm joining and hoping to win this for my wife. I know she will love this. I remember she told me about this giveway and i searched it up on her facebook, She will be surprise if ever.
thank you.
I guess my timeless beauty secret is to wear moisturiser and SPF to ward away dry skin that can cause wrinkles. I guess the best timeless beauty secret, though, is to smile! It instantly makes you young.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you're like me, in your mid-20s (I'm 24, so around that age).
My timeless beauty secret is moisturize moisturize moisturize! From the eye to the lip to the body! Especially the eye, you are never to young to put eye cream (if you don't have fine lines yet don't go for anti-wrinkle because it might backfire). Also drink lots of h2o! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Kumiko Mae!
ReplyDeleteMy timeless beauty secret is I cleanse my face before I go to bed, moisturize it and I take vitamin E.
Wow, thank you ,this is amazing!^^
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Kumiko Mae! :D
