Who is That Woman in the Mirror Impersonating Me?
There comes a time in a woman's life when, sadly, she begins to avoid the mirror. Preparing for a day can be a dodgy affair since getting ready in the morning typically involves a looking glass. I know.
Lately I've been holding my eyelids up to put on eyeshadow and doing a lot more creative contouring to maneuver around what looks like the middle of my face collapsing.
 Every woman can say, "The inner me is younger feeling and acting than the outer me appears." When I looked in the mirror last week and saw the hands of time swirling around my face at hyperspeed I stomped my feet and said, "No! This will not abide! That old woman staring back from the mirror is impersonating me and
I will put a stop to this!"
Luckily for me I had a scheduled appointment with Grant W. Heinz, MD this morning for a little consult and after he listened to my whining for awhile, he had some surprising ideas. Nothing drastic, not a facelift. Just open up eyes, check. Fill out the cheeks, check. Trim the chin, check.
The idea of doing micro procedures to create a more natural outcome. I like it. I feel better already. I bought a new lipstick to celebrate. I went on a diet. I'm feeling a Spring Fever coming on!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Primers!
by Katherine Kahoun, CMA, CPCT
My friends and clients continually ask me how I get my foundation to look perfect and stay perfect
all day long, and why my eye makeup
never creases! Well here's my
Must Have beauty products that guarantee you long lasting makeup every time. They are all available at MAC.
After cleansing my face I apply my eye creams with
MAC's Fast Response Eye Cre
am being the last one on top. This product decreases puffiness and tightens those fine lines around the eyes.
Next I apply my skin care products followed by sunscreen (Coola Mineral Matte SPF 30 - see my blog for more about this fantastic sunscreen).
MAC Strobe Cream goes on last. This gives the skin a
magnificent luminous glow and the necessary moisture for foundation and concealer to go on smoothly.
TIP: I only buy the travel size because it's a better deal.
After the
Strobe Cream I apply my foundation followed by concealer and then set with loose finishing powder. Next, I use my powder contour kit, apply my blush and shape/fill my brows. Then I highlight underneath my brows, and apply
MAC Paint Pot in Painterly all over my eyelid as my eyeshadow primer. You will want to have your eyeshadow picked out and ready to go as soon as you're done with the primer as it starts to set right away. (The
Paint Pots also come in a variety of colors and finishes and can even be used alone as eyeshadows. They are definitely some of the best eyeshadow primers I've found.)
After I've finished applying all my makeup including lipstick and lashes if desired, I close my eyes and spray my entire face 2-3 times with
MAC Fix + Spray. This sets my makeup for the perfect finishing touch. It's honestly AMAZING and
all my clients absolutely love it as well!
 So now you have it, all my favorite makeup primers and my insider tricks for application. I know it seems like a lot of steps but cross my heart each one takes a minute or less to apply! And if you're still feeling a little confused or overwhelmed by this information, did you know that besides makeup application
I also do personal makeup shopping as well as individual and group makeup lessons? Please don't hesitate to contact me with any of your beauty needs at katiekahoun@gmail.com or 480-703-0267. I hope you've enjoyed my fave primers article. Stay tuned for more of my MUST HAVE beauty products coming soon in my future blogs.
Katie,
XOXOX

Spread the Word for the Sake of Our Children
It is difficult as a mother to conceive of innoculating your child against HPV when they still seem young and innocent. Yet the alternatives to declining this immunity to our girls and boys show grim statistics: Currently 26 million girls aged 12 years and younger live in the U.S. If none of these girls are vaccinated, data from mathematical models suggest that:
- 168,400 will develop cervical cancer and 54,100 will die from cervical cancer
- Vaccinating 30% of these girls would prevent 45,500 of these cases and 14,600 deaths
- However, increasing the vaccination rate to 80% would prevent 98,800 cases and 31,700 deaths
- For each year we stay at 30% coverage instead of achieving 80%, 4,400 future cervical cancer cases and 1,400 cervical cancer deaths will occur
- Not vaccinating means leaving more girls and boys exposed to potential HPV cancers in the future
FACT:
One person gets
cancer from HPV infection every twenty minutes.
The three vaccines for immunity should be administered to both boys and girls at the ages of 11 to 12, when the natural immune response is highest and before sexual activity begins.
Spread the word. Go the the website listed and find a local screening of the documentary on HPV entitled Someone You Love.
