According to my question from
Examiner.com about foundation;
check out difference in colors between my summer, and winter foundation! Crazy!
And I am a person who tries to stay away from the sun
:)
But what to do when you are in period “in between”? It’s simple! Instead of going and spending money on another
shade, just like a “pro” use back of your hand as a palette, and mix your summer and
winter color in proportions 1:1. It really works :)
I like to add a dab of my favorite
moisturizer, for super hydrating effects.
Hope that helps!

Couple weeks ago, I had an opportunity to answer few questions that I've been asked by FeeBee Baker from
Examiner.com. Feebee is a former model manager from Detroit, has modeled for and
worked with Gigi Hunter, Ms. Petite Michigan Pageant, and
Detroit Institute of Art amongst others. She currently operates her own fashion entity that includes designing,
styling and working as a fashion writer. She currently writes fashion
articles for two online publications as well as weekly updates on her
blog Feebs Fashion Forward.

And this is what she asked me;
"What is the biggest mistake you see with women when it comes to makeup?"
Aleksandra: Women are afraid of any changes,
they tend to stick up to their everyday routine and apply the same
products and the same colors on a daily basis. Just the little changes
in the style of makeup, applied with new tones and shades could make an
enormous difference which could make them look fresher and feel younger.
"Is there anything women should do differently for their skin or makeup as the weather changes?"
Aleksandra: Foundation! Lots of women forget
about the fact that with the winter season our skin tends to get less
sun rays, and that makes us paler. Let's make sure not to apply same
shades of foundation through the year. During the winter, I recommend to
use more natural and softer foundation tones, which would not turn our
skin to orange (compared to the rest of our body). During the summer;
feel free to play with bronzers and darker powders to achieve this
beautiful sun kissed - summery look.

Hello, and welcome to my blog!
First of all, thank you for stopping by :) My name is Aleksandra Waibel, born and raised in beautiful city of Wroclaw, located in Poland. (English is my second language, so on the start I am apologizing for all grammar mistakes - I'll do my best :) ). Moved to USA 7 years ago, with head full of ideas, and dreams which with every day I am slowly realizing. I have a husband named Andy, and 5 furry kids ( 2 dogs, and 3 cats ). I am a crazy animal lover, I'll pick any stray from the street! As much as I love animals, I love Make-Up. I've been a Make-Up geek for over a decade now. Even earlier in my childhood, my favorite activity was going through my moms cosmetic bag. My first serious gig, was a wedding Make-Up application for my friend wedding (I was 14 years old when I did it! ). Then I've worked at the local burlesque, mostly with males. I loved to put Make-Up on this guys! see how slowly they transforming in to beautiful woman's! After I moved to USA, I stated working at the
Christian Dior Make-Up counter. with in about a year, I became a manager - and I hated it. No creativity, just pushing products!. It was all about numbers, and I didn't feel like pulling them. I just wanted to sell my talent, not $200 cream I really didn't believe in - so I quit :) and I became a freelancer. I don't want to make this first post, super long and boring, so to make long story short; with in 4 years of doing whatever I am doing on my own, I am super excited and happy with the place I am right now :) I still climb my ladder, and with every day, every photoshoot and wedding, I am still learning and I still want to get better. I decided to start this blog because; I believe that all of us have right to know all make-Up tricks, and things that allow us to feel beautiful. I will try to share all my knowledge, and whatever I've learned so far, so that any of you will be able to use them on daily basis. I will review my favorite products, looks, brands that I had a chance to try for many years, on endless photo shoots or movie sets. I tell you what is worth to spend over $50, and what doesn't. Of course, this is only my personal opinion! I will gladly answer any question, so go ahead and shoot me an email.
Till next time! :)
