Stuck inside? Be sure to check out Self Made, a 4 part movie on Netflix about the first female millionaire, Madam C.J. Walker:
While I knew that Madam C.J. Walker built her haircare empire and made millions, I didn’t know that she had a consistent adversary, Addie Munroe, who tried to tear her down at every step, nor that her husband cheated on her with one of her top salesgirls, nor that her daughter (played in the movie by Tiffany Haddish) was gay. All the tidbits you wouldn’t find in a Wikipedia write up were in this movie!
Entrepreneurs, female entrepreneurs, and black female entrepreneurs in particular will find so much to relate to in her story. In the end, all we see are Madam Walker’s accolades, with no idea of all the setbacks she experienced. What was clear from the movie was that Walker was strong minded, tenacious, and faithful.
Another great lesson from this movie is the importance of marketing. Even though we found out in the end that Walker stole her initial hair growth recipe from Addie Munroe, Madam Walker was one of the best marketers of her day. She was able to take the same product created by one of her rivals, but build it up and promote it to the point where it not only created her a fortune, but she also took credit for it.
In addition, Madam Walker knew the importance of marketing and story telling for posterity. While doing my own research, I discovered that Walker’s adversary, Addie Munroe (real name Annie Malone) was just as successful as Walker, making millions with her original ‘hair grower’ products. But while Walker stressed to her offspring to keep her name and story alive via books and stories, Malone died with no offspring to carry on her legacy. The movie revealed that Walker’s biological daughter was gay and uninterested in having children, so Walker adopted a young lady, who later went on to give birth to A’lelia Bundles, who carries the name of Walker’s daughter and also wrote the book the movie is based on.
Entrepreneurs, take note! Marketing is key to keeping your legacy alive for generations to come. SEO, PPC, press release distribution, social media marketing are examples of the most popular marketing strategies. For example, you can hire the best press release service to distribute your content to many publications and let people all over the world know your brands.
As the years fly by, we can’t help but take note of the little details that provide an outer coating to show the world that yes, we are certainly getting older. It can be a bit daunting, and you have to admit that it can really get you down sometimes when you look in the mirror to find that your once youthful face is starting to develop fine links and dark circles under your eyes. The good news is that there are ways for you to hide and take care of both.
Read on to discover some beauty tips that will help you create a natural look while hiding wrinkles and dark circles.
Moisturize
The skin needs moisture to maintain its texture and health, and as we get older, we tend to lose elasticity in our skin. This is why when you find that you begin to develop wrinkles and dark circles, this is also a sure sign that your skin needs hydration and moisture. So the first thing you need to do is drink a lot of water and fresh juices. Another important factor that you need to implement is to have the right moisturizer.
People who swear by the Korean skin routine, which is an intensive skincare regimen, find that Korean wrinkle and dark circle creams are the most effective. If you have a look at this review, you’ll get a better insight into what kind of moisturizer would work best for your dark circles and wrinkles. It’s important that you get one that is suitable for your skin type so that it does the job right and so that you can see proper results effectively.
Consider an organic eye cream, to target the fine lines and wrinkles as well as the pigmentation issues around the eyes. Eye creams are specifically formulated to be more nourishing than regular moisturizers to help the area around the eyes, as these areas are known to have the thinnest skin. Generally, organic or natural eye creams also leave out toxic ingredients that have the potential to harm the skin.
Get The Right, Light Foundation
Before you put on any kind of makeup, it’s important that you have the correct foundation. It’s different when you start getting wrinkles and dark circles, because not only do you need proper coverage, but you need a foundation that isn’t too thick. This may seem tricky, but you’ll find that there are many foundations available now that are light, allowing your skin to breathe while also providing sufficient coverage for your dark circles. If the foundation is too thick, then this will only accentuate and highlight the wrinkles. Another important thing to keep in mind is to stay away from powder because this too only makes the wrinkles stand out. You want the foundation to be as light as possible so that it makes it easier to cover the wrinkles in a way that makes it look natural.
Apply Make-up Differently
When you have dark circles and wrinkles, you have to approach applying makeup in a completely different manner so that you can hide them effectively while still making it look natural, and giving your appearance that boosts that you love so much. For example, you might feel drawn to putting on false eyelashes to give you a more youthful look, but the truth is, false eyelashes are heavy and will draw attention to your eyelids, and this is something you don’t want to do when you have dark circles and wrinkles. Instead, stick to using a curler and a strong mascara to give it a more natural look and not put too much weight on your eyelids. Find yourself a decent concealer to ensure that the dark circles are covered well without having to pile on the layers because this will only make the wrinkles by the side of your eyes stand out. There are ways to apply orange or green concealer before adding the natural tone which offers even more coverage if the dark circles are tough to cover using only concealer. Remember that you want to go for a more natural look on your face now so that there is a toned and smooth look in general. This is guaranteed to keep the coverage of dark circles and wrinkles looking more natural.
The fact of the matter is, we’re going to have to confront dark circles and wrinkles at one point or another in our lives. The good news is that after taking the tips mentioned into account, you won’t have to worry when you finally get them. There are plenty of ways to do damage control to keep the wrinkles and circles at bay by sticking to a proper skin regimen, moisturizing and hydrating. As for the coverage itself, you just need to make sure that you get the right kind of makeup for your skin type and also understand which colors and consistency work best to give you that overall natural, wrinkle and circle free look!
