Flawless Faces For All Races: Finale Episode 6

October 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

It’s been a beautiful road with Flawless Faces For All Races, but unfortunately the fun of beauty and playing with new techniques in this webisode series has come to an end. The objective of this series was to teach everyday women how to properly do her own makeup using innovative products combined with the right tools. Giving you the ability to enhance your natural beauty has been a remarkable experience. I have seen first hand what this series has done for a few of my clients (Sheila, I’m talking to you!) who watched every video and, with amazing results, they are using the techniques displayed in the series for their own flawless look! I thank each of you for joining me on this journey and hope everyone picked up new beauty tips along the way!

It is my pleasure to present to you the finale of Flawless Faces For All Races with Toni, an african american female in her 20s experiencing oily skin, dark circles, and dark spots. Check out products from Cargo Cosmetics, Cover FX, and Sigma Beauty in action to resolve her issues.

Stay tuned for a HUGE sweepstakes announcement  to win product from all 3 sponsors with a 1 hour consultation by me over video chat!  Tip:  You must watch all 6 videos! If you missed any, watch all of the Flawless Faces Webisodes here!

In the meantime check out this Special Offer From Sigma Beauty: Use promotional code PREMIUM to receive $20.00 off the Sigma Premium Professional Brush Kit.

A big thank you to Portlight Productions for an amazing project well done and to Modelogic for a great casting of fabulous models!
