About: Lift Cosmetics

Here on the Lift Beauty Boutique Blog, I write about numerous product lines, but predominantly when discussing make-up I refer to Lift Cosmetics. 

So, here's the basic info about Lift Cosmetics...

Lift Cosmetics was developed with the consumer in
mind, by two Canadian makeup artists Emily and Lauren. 

Lift Cosmetic products are price
conscious as well as skin conscious.
Fortified with anti-oxidants, vitamins and
proteins to strengthen your skin, Lift Cosmetics
are as good for your skin as they are easy to
use. With a wide range of colours to choose
from you are sure to find the look that’s perfect
for you and your skin. 

 Lip Glosses: Lift Cosmetics Glosses are loved for their easy application, shiny appearance, long lasting wear and non-sticky finish. With antioxidants, proteins and oils that moisturize and repair much like a balm, you lips are sure to notice the difference.

Hint of Mint Lip Glosses: Hint of Mint Lip
Glosses are formulated with all of the same
enriching ingredients and benefits as our
original Lip Glosses. These super hydrating

Glosses have the added benefit of Aloe,
Vitamins C and E and have an appealing
Spearmint scent and flavour.

Lip Plumper: Our Lip Plumping Gloss uses
peppermint extract to plump your lips naturally
with a gentle tingle. This formula also
features the moisturizing benefit of Avocado
and Jojoba Seed Oil.

Lipsticks: Lift Cosmetic Lipsticks are enriched with Vitamin E, Anti-Oxidants and other lip pampering ingredients to ensure proper hydration. The long lasting formula is available in a wide range of rich colours as well as matte and gloss shine formulas.

Mineral Lipsticks: These are a relatively new addition to the family. These lipsticks have a high concentration of Vitamin E which acts like a treatments for your lips! But not only that, they are infused with Tangerine and Vanilla Oil for moisture and a wonderful light scent.

Eyeshadows: Lift Eye Shadows are triple-milled for a silky texture to allow for the smoothest application and extreme blend-ability. These Shadows are oil-free, and can be used wet or dry,and are available in matte or pearl finishes.

*We have our Classic Collection (seen in picture above) of our most popular colours that are available year round. Four times a year we launch limited edition collections that stray from our Classics.

Blush: Similar to Lift Eye Shadows, our Blushes are triple milled for an easy and blend-able application. These silky blushes are available in a wide spectrum of colours and finishes, matte, shimmery, pearl or pixie.

*We have a Classic Collection of 15 Blushes that range from highlighters to contours and everything in between. Just like our eye shadows we launch limited edition collections periodically over the year. 

Super Lash Mascara: Our Super Lash Mascara is a treat for your lashes,with conditioning ingredients such as Vitamin E and Keratin. Not only does our mascara take care of lashes, it also extends and thickens them for a more youthful look. With the large applicator wand this mascara will coat lashes in one quick sweep while the conditioning properties keep lashes soft all day long so the mascara doesn’t flake.
*also available in waterproof  

 Lash Primer: Our ultimate lash primer will help add length and thickness to your lashes, while also enriching and conditioning them with soy protein. This product is applied before mascara, to protect the lashes from breakage. We condition our hair, we should also condition our lashes.

Brow Gel: This clear non-sticky gel dried super fast and will keep your brows in place all day.

 Flawless Finish: One of our best sellers! This oil-free creme to powder foundation evens skin tone. Flawless finish can be used as a concealer or a foundation leaving the skin with a gorgeous dewy look. FF has an oil absorbing formula which helps with problematic skin. 

Camo Concealer: Our rich and creamy formula covers skin imperfections
with ease. Camo Concealer is water (tear) resistant and easy to blend with a tone of pigment making it simple to cover scars, birthmarks or hard to conceal areas and tattoos! 

 

Dual Powder: Our full coverage compact powder can be used wet or dry. It's perfect for any skin type and lasts forever! It's formula prevents settling into fine lines and looks super natural.

 

Lift Bronzers: Our bronzers come in a generous compact! Triple milled for extremely blend-able and layer-able application.  Our bronzers are oil-free and can be used on the body or face!

Love that Dewy Look! But Can You pull it off with problematic Skin?

Since the early Age of 13 I have been cursed with the plague of BAD skin!

I remember my 2 childhood BFF's and I obsessing over our skin DAILY!

It seems they have both grown out of it, but I still have problematic areas on my face.

For the past 12 years I have been using pressed powder to cover my blemishes and even out my skin tone! I have been faithful to my powder but have always been jealous of those girls with a DEWY-GLOWING finish to their skin!

 Hayden Panettiere is one of the many celebs who's been wearing her make-up with a dewy finish! How Gorgeous!!

The Dew makes the skin look so healthy and moist, I figured because of my problematic T-Zone, I would never be able to rock the dewy look! 

That was, Until Last Week...

I believe it was early on a Wednesday morning when in a rush to get to work I dropped my precious pressed powder on my hardwood floor! It shattered EVERYWHERE!!!

Not only was I upset about having to clean up the floor, but I kinda panicked about having to leave the house with my blemished skin EXPOSED!

It was then, that I started hunting threw my make-up stash in hopes of finding some sort of remedy for my problem! 

I found a LIFT Cosmetics' Flawless Finish Compact! I know my fellow Lift Beauty Girl; Lauren uses the product daily and our clients RAVE about it, but to be honest I personally never gave it a shot because I was dedicated to our Duo Powder.

Our Flawless Finish is a cream foundation with a bunch of benefits:

It's a 3 in one - conceals, blends like a foundation, and sets itself with a glowing finish - Not only does it make your skin look healthy and glowy, but it has antioxidants in it, so its good for your skin!

Okay, I used the "FF" all over my face and felt totally fresh and glowy for the first time EVER! So exciting. My road kill powder compact had a tiny remnant of DUO so I figured I would use it to set my problem area (my t-zone) and my eyelids. I finished my cheeks, lips and eyes and went to work feeling fresh and looking DEWY!!


Each client that walked threw the door made a different comment all pertaining to how "healthy" and "bright" I looked! Great day for my confidence!!! I haven't gone back - FF, I love the Glow you give me!

*Read tomorrow's posts to get MORE tips and tricks on how to get that "Dewy look without having to use tons of bronzer and shimmer! Lets keep it looking natural for summer.
