Do you know the Top 10 Makeup mistakes to avoid?

Are you wearing the same color eye shadow you bought 5 years ago?

One thing we cannot control is the passing of time, but we can control the effects of time on the way we look.  As skin ages, its color and texture change. A sixteen year old needs different skin care and make up than a thirty something; and a sixty something needs something different from her children. But all of us, regardless of age, can use makeup to look younger, brighter and healthier. 

Makeup and skincare are ever evolving and significant improvements have been made to not only add color to your face, but to protect, conceal, and heal your skin. Vanity is only one reason to wear makeup. Having healthy skin is another. Looking good is feeling good and feeling good is the best gift you can give yourself.

After ten years of working at being a stay-at-home Mom, I decided to do something for myself. From my earliest days of playing dress up, I have always loved makeup.

Prior to raising my family, I was a Sales Trainer with Estee Lauder and a Freelance Makeup Artist with Chanel, Smash Box, and Bobbie Brown. Those are all great lines and I learned a lot working with them. But I decided to start my own makeup line to reach out to women like myself.

Women who wear many hats at one time. You work, run errands, drive carpools and supervise homework. You entertain, go on dates or date nights with a significant other. Your daily lives are hurried, harried and demanding. Of course, you still want to look good while you do all these things and often the quickest way to do that is to rely on makeup techniques you learned years ago and makeup products you have always used. If this resonates with you, you are in a makeup rut!! L7 is just outside that rut.

Look at our logo. It’s not a big stretch beyond your comfort zone or out of the box to become today’s L7 woman. L7 allows you to treat yourself like you treat your work and/or your kids. It provides you with an affordable way to try it out, it gives you a caring touch and it helps you to replenish your look and your feelings of inner confidence.
