How to Stay Gorgeous after Midnight This New Year’s Eve!

Stay Gorgeous After Midnight – Aurelio Salon in NJ

How to Stay Gorgeous after Midnight This New Year’s Eve!

`

It’s the night to celebrate and make your first memories for the year ahead! A fresh glamorous makeup look can help you stay gorgeous after midnight this new years eve with a few simple steps.

Start out with a deep clean face, use Dermalogica Precleanse to remove excess dirt and makeup other cleansers fail to remove. Wash face as usual and apply a hydrating light-weight moisturizer like Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream, it gives enough moisture to replenish skin during our dry winter months. Even if you have oily skin moisturizing is essential to keep skin from producing excess oil. Skipping your moisturizer also leaves skin with an uneven canvas for proper coverage.

Next, apply a face primer or tinted moisturizer such as Beauty Addicts Mineral Sheer Tint. This can be worn as a base for a cream or powder foundation or can be worn alone. This sheer tint is an excellent base for makeup to stay all night.

For eyes that look awake even if you are not, conceal under eyes with half a shade lighter than your skin tone, we suggest Beauty Addicts Double Deception. The pallet has two sides, the under eye pallet will not crease and soothes the delicate skin with green tea and Vitamin E. Be sure to pat it on, rubbing puts too much stress on this sensitive skin. This prevents dark circles from showing throughout the night and keeps eye makeup from running. Be sure to check out the help over at Renee Rouleau when it comes to finding the best eye makeup remover so your perfectly applied makeup can be taken off with ease, whilst protecting your skin at the same time. It may just be the best thing that you ever decide to do.

Go ahead and pull out those special occasion sparkly shadows! This year we have been seeing metallic shadows on every runway, so sticking with bronze, gold, or silver is stylish way to add to your makeup look.

Be sure to stay away from dark shades under your eye, it tends to make eyes look heavy and tired. You can still have a dramatic look with bold liner and some false lashes. Create a dramatic cat eye with a long lasting liner and pat concealer under the line to keep it from running. To open your eye and add more drama, apply a light shimmery shadow to the inner corner of your eyes.

Finish your look with our holiday favorite, Sinful Lips by Beauty Addicts and bring on the New Year!

Baby It’s Cold Outside!!

Baby Its Cold Outside – Aurelio Salon in NJ

This time of the year, skin dehydration really takes a toll. Most of us forget that summer is not the only season to hydrate and protect your skin. Whether you are facing indoor heat dryness, or cold air moisture deprivation your skin is begging for some hydration! This is usually why skin cracks and bleeds during this season (ouch!) Let’s try to keep our skin in the best condition this season and follow these oh-so-important tips.

We will first begin with your cleanliness routine! Typically, people like to take showers with hot water during the winter since it is the opposite of the terrible weather conditions being faced outside. Here is a fact you may not have known. Showering with hot water actually strips your body of its natural oils. While you may be getting the best shower of your life, you also will be stripping your body of self-made hydration. Ironic, right? Warm water or even cooler water will help maintain the moisture in your skin.

When you get out, use a lotion, serum, or oil that penetrates deeper than the surface. Most products may only hydrate the top layer of the skin, but really don’t do much for underlying layers. A majority of people think to use a heavier lotion to intensely moisturize the skin. This has some truth to it, however it is not the most effective way to penetrate the skin. Try using an oil before you butter up your body. Using a product containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides or even an oil will be your best pick. These solutions go beyond the surface to effectively hydrate skin.

For cracked lips, a mineral oil can be effective for maintaining moisture but will not create it. If you’re looking to preserve your moisture then this is a fine choice for you, but if you are creating the moisture due to a lack of it, you must look for the ingredients mentioned in the paragraph above (containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides or even an oil).

Now last but certainly important is your face! Using a cleanser with a chemical exfoliant and a gentle mechanical exfoliant (beads or a scrub of some sort). This will regenerate your skin by removing the dead skin cells from the surface. Once you’re done exfoliating, use a lightweight serum on your skin and use your moisturizer afterwards. The serum helps preserve the moisture in your facial moisturizer. If you are worried about your skin getting greasy and breaking out, only use the moisturizer during the day and wash your face with the exfoliant before you sleep. This will allow your skin to breathe while you sleep.

Winter is a time when you not only get chapped lips and cracked heels, but also suffer from flu and cold. And if you are following the above-mentioned tips for maintaining your beauty, why not consider taking care of your overall health? Following some simple tips like washing your hands regularly, maintaining cleanliness throughout your home, and retaining indoor air quality could prove beneficial in the long run. The last one is particularly important because poor air quality can lead to the growth of bacteria and fungi, which can prove fatal, especially during winters. Therefore, for improving your air quality it is important to clean and repair your HVAC devices at regular intervals. Yes, it could be a difficult task, but you can contact HVAC service providers like Premier HVAC Services ( you can go to the site from here) who can make the work seem like a cakewalk.

Fighting Fine Hair!

Fighting Fine Hair – Aurelio Salon in New Jersey

A constant battle that frequently crosses a hairdresser’s chair is the guest with ultra- fine hair. If this is you, pay close attention! Here are a few tips you can follow to fight the battle against dull, flat strands.

1- Do not overload on product.

Believe it or not, you’re doing your hair an injustice. Instead, support your locks wisely, and stick with a light weight root booster. Also choose thickening products which contain a plumping agent to expand hair from the core. Being selective and conservative will take your hair to new heights!

2- Blow-Drying with a round brush.

Utilize tools created by hair genius’ such as Sam Villa. Ventilated ionic round brushes are your “go-to” brush. When drying hair, take the round brush at your root and lift hair away from the scalp. This will allow you to dry hair and create maximum volume where you need it most.

3- Use hot rollers!

That’s right. We’re going old school! This will help set your hair in a manner that will promote voluminous hair. This will not only create volume by the root, but also give the rest of your hair fullness with over- sized curls. Basically you will look like a “foxy lady”.

4- Using the correct shampoo and conditioner.

It is important that you are treating your hair with respect by using the best professional hair care products. If you’re trying to create volume and light weight body, using a heavily conditioned shampoo will not be the best for you. Your goal is to make your hair as light as possible to promote lift and life! Choosing a shampoo such as AddVolume by KMS California will assist your hair with that goal. If your next concern is conditioner that can protect while still being weightless, try FreeShape conditioner- also from KMS California. This has active heat ingredients that activate when heat touches it (blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, etc.)

5- Getting the proper haircut.

Getting a regular trim when you have fine hair aids the illusion of full hair. When you have breakage and split ends, it creates a thinned out appearance. So set up some appointments at your local salon to ensure you don’t let your hair grow scraggly. Adding some layers will enhance movement in your hair styling as well. With a layered haircut it will be easy to use these tricks for a fuller appearance.

Go ahead fine-haired friends! Try these tips out and see which tricks work best for you.

Sea foam green to stunning rose gold!

Sea Foam Green Hair to Stunning Rose Gold Color – Aurelio Salon in NJ

This particular client was quite the challenge. She came in with about 4in of new growth with old highlights on her ends that were a faded mint green. She had, months before, colored her hair herself at home to make it lavender. The green was the faded out result.

I proceeded to touch up her highlights with formula A. After this part was processed, I rinsed and shampooed with DualSenses Fade Stop Shampoo. I tried to loosen up the color on her ends by using Malibu Crystal Gel for 15min under the dryer.

Next, I rinsed out the Crystal Gel and toned the hair with formula B for 10min. I then rinsed out the toner and shampoo with Elumen Wash. Next, glaze with formula C. Process for 15min under the dryer. Rinse out until the water runs clear. Shampoo using Elumen Wash again, and then apply Elumen Lock and process 5min. rinse and condition with Elumen Treat.

To stylep; use Elumen Care, Glamour Whip and Elixer. Blow dry smooth to enhance softness, shine, and brilliance of the color.
