How to Create ~ the Princess look
Skin After preparing you face with Vitashield Cleanser, pH Normalizer and Moisturizer Treatment; prime the skin using the Motives Primer, apply using a triangle sponge. Then using the Mineral Brush, apply your Custom Mineral Powder or using the foundation brush, apply your Custom Liquid Foundation.

Eyes To create this eye, use the eye shadow brush to apply Sea Foam to the entire lid area, lash line to brows. Then using the crease brush, apply Thistle along the crease line, blending into the area above the crease line. Then take the eye definer brush and using Easter Pink, line the entire lower lash line. Using the eye liner pencil, black for a stronger look, Vintage for a softer look, create a thin line along the upper lash line close to the eye lashes. You can soften the look even further by smudging the eye liner with cotton bud. Then apply 1 to 2 coats of Nouveau Riche Mascara in black or Black Plum Mascara for the softer look.

Cheeks Using a triangle sponge apply the cream blush, Charm along the cheek bone, then blend on to the apples of the check and into the hollow of the cheek. To soften the colour and add a bit of shimmer, using the blender brush lightly dust the eye shadow, Easter Pink along the cheek bone. OR Lightly dip the cheek brush into your custom mineral powder blush, apply the colour, starting on the apple of your cheek, then blend along the top of the cheek bone.

Lips With this look you have several options for your lips. Start with the lip liner, Orchid either line just the outer edge of your lips, or fill in the entire lip area. Then use, Hope Lip Plumper for a high gloss shine. OR use the lip gel, Pink Mimosa for a soft shine.

The Customary Introduction Post

2009-03-18T16:49:00.000+09:00

Hello! Welcome to Christie's Motives. *grin*

My name is Christie McPartland and I'm the MBIC (Main Babe In Charge) of Christie's Motives, a business dedicated to making women look great and feel good about themselves, not only on their special day (whatever that may be), but every day.

Whether we're sisters, girlfriends, mothers or wives, we women so often put everyone else's needs and wants ahead of our own. We're selfless creatures that way. However, when we constantly put everyone else ahead of ourselves, we run into trouble.

Fact of the matter is, it's okay to put ourselves first sometimes. Really! In fact, it's more than okay. It's essential and we should do it a lot more than we realise.

When we feel good, our contentment and "joie de vivre" is contagious. Just by being around, we make others feel good. And when others feel good, there's no saying what can happen or be achieved. The world is our oyster and it's my personal mission to make everyone I come in contact with look gorgeous and feel good about themselves, and in turn, have them make others feel good too.

I firmly believe that if we have something of value to offer the world, be it money, talent or experience, we should spread it around so everyone benefits. Christie's Motives is me sharing my talents and passion with you! *smile*

In time, this blog is going to be loaded with some really cool stuff; make up tips, photos, freebies, inside scoops on new Motives(R) products and a whole lot more. But for now, thanks for swinging by to check me out and I hope you'll be back to see what I'm up to next!

-Christie
