My Pixi Beauty Makeup Makeover by Pixi’s Colleen Lota

Q. Tell us how you created the “big eye” effect on me with the Pixi Products, including the new  Eye Bright Liner.

A. I used the Pixi Eye Bright Liner on the inner waterline of the eyes and is designed to make the white around the eyes appear whiter and brighter.  This product is hypo-allergenic, paraben free, mineral oil free, and waterproof-safe for all eyes even contact wearers.

 Q. I noticed when you put the color on my cheeks, you just brushed on 2 strips, pointing down, with blush on them on each cheek.  Can you explain that technique?

A. I used the Shea Butter Lip Balm Natural Rose on your lips and cheeks.  Placing two stripes or an “x” on cheeks, then blending out with your fingers, gives you a perfect lip and cheek colour instantly.  This is the best way to achieve a simple and natural look using one product that is multi-purpose.

Q. There seem to be multiple ways to use the NEW Quick Fix Powder.  Seems like it would work on the eyes, as well as the nose and chin.  Can you talk about the many uses of it?

A.  The Quick Fix Powder is an amazing product!  This product comes with a sponge applicator that you can apply directly on the skin (from product to face).  If one decides to use a brush with this product, one can simply twist off the component that separates the sponge from the product itself and can use a powder brush with application.  Another way to use this product is to use as a highlighter under the eyes, after coverage to set the makeup in place, as a touch up throughout the day as a powder blotter, and even on the lips to help mattify a lip colour.  Endless possibilities with this product!

Pixi Glow Tonic is an exfoliating facial glow tonic that is gentle and effective.

If you haven’t checked out Pixi Beauty lately, you’ll want to.  The brand has introduced a new Pixi “Glow Tonic.” The Glow tonic contains ginseng & fructose. This gentle formula helps tone, firm and tighten the skin. It also removes dead skin cells for healthier looking skin. The product is Alcohol free. I’ve been using it after cleansing on cotton pad or even tissue.  The product offers these supper powerful key ingredients: aloe vera, ginseng and Glycolic Acid-5%. According to Pixi, the products is suitable for all skin types, but try a bit on your hand or arm first before putting it on your face.
