Look Good Feel Better Seminar

So Monday, Aubrey and I attending the Look Good Feel Better Seminar, a collaboration between the American Cancer Society, Professional Beauty Association, Look Good Feel Better Foundation and P&G Beauty.  It’s a free workshop offered to those in treatment, where they talk through beauty tips (clothes, wigs, makeup) and they give you an awesome swag bag! It was such a great experience, I got some great tips (check out a few below) and got to meet some other amazing ladies going through the same thing.  We also had an awesome instructor!

Look Good Feel Better Workshop

Tips:

• Clothes
  • Wear jewel tones, navy, browns – not light colors during chemo which can wash you out
• T Shirt head wrap
  • Take an old T Shirt and cut across just below the sleeves to make a band then you can tie it into a head scarf
• Wipe Up
  • When putting on lotions or removing make up, wipe up not down.  It’s like a quick face lift instead of always pulling down on your face
• Be Clean
  • Cleaning brushes is important. Contamination of make up is a big no no
  • Try to use disposable applicators instead of the brushes that come with make up
  • Use an alcohol spray on your good brushes and even on your compacts
• Mascara
  • Throw it out every 60-90 days (so my 2 year old mascara should probably be thrown away?)
  • Swirl when dipping in the mascara, don’t stab in the container – you’re not trying to murder people
  • Buy disposable mascara applicators
• Powder
  • Use brush on powder to set in make up
• Brows
  • We got a lesson on recreating brows – as mine will most likely fall off, so this was key
  • We learned how to draw to form a natural line
  • Prosthetic eye brows are also available
