Not only can it cause you to feel &lt;a href=&quot;https://beautytipshalk.com/&quot;&gt;uncomfortable&lt;/a&gt;, it can make your daily facepaint a real so-and-so.

However, a moisture-locking primer can be a game-changing step for those with dry skin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;The layer of hydration can work as a barrier between your complexion products and any dry texture. This helps to reduce the risk of foundation and powder clinging to dry patches.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;Apply your primer after your skincare, as the first step in your makeup routine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;Tips for newbies:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;look for primers with hydrating, glow-giving, and “youth-focused” rhetoric and keep away from anything with “mattifying” or “oil absorbing” written on the packaging. I love the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Hydrating Primer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std&amp;quot;, sans-serif; line-height: initial; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Choose foundation wisely&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;There are plenty of ultra high-end foundations out there that promise to smooth and plump dry skin. However, you don’t need to shell out wads of cash for a good base.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;My favorite is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;still&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;Mac Face and Body ($35)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;. It’s still reasonably pricey, but worth it for the hydration, skin-like finish, and buildable coverage. And hey, you can always go for a tinted moisturizer or BB cream with a bit of oomph, especially if you’ve got reasonably clear and even skin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;A gel-based foundation or tint similar to this will glide over your dry skin as opposed to clinging to it like fuller coverage, more mattifying products will. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin are great to look out for as they draw moisture to the skin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;Tip:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;you don’t have to forgo full coverage with a light foundation! Use a lighter-coverage-yet-super-hydrating foundation over the whole face. Then, use a moisturizing, full-coverage concealer&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;where you need it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;to get that flawless look.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std&amp;quot;, sans-serif; line-height: initial; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;Opt for cream products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;When it comes to blush, bronzer, and highlight, cream products can revive dry skin. While many powders are so high-tech these days they don’t necessarily exacerbate dry skin, creams are still the smartest pick. The emolient ingredients and soft, skin-like finish of creams glide over dry patches and can even offer some light skincare benefits.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #160e4a; font-family: &amp;quot;circular std book&amp;quot;; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;Press cream blush onto the cheeks with your fingers, then follow with a rich and luscious highlight to pack a glow. Avoid glitter and large shimmer chunks like the plague as they can shine a light on dryness and texture. My top recommendation for blush is the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;Nudestix Nudies Bloom All Over Dewy Color ($38)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;.

T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: CrimsonText, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;he domestic goddess behind lifestyle site Eye Swoon, and husband Victor, music producer and techno DJ, their journey brought them to a superb destination: a 25-foot-wide Greek Revival townhouse in historic Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: CrimsonText, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;Rewind to 1996 and The Limelight, New York’s legendary nightclub, housed in a Gothic-style deconsecrated church, where Victor first laid eyes on Athena, then a young bartender. A basement apartment in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, set the stage for the next phase of courtship, quarters so cozy they shared a twin Murphy bed. “That’s love,” Athena jokes. By 1998 the two were engaged and exploring Dumbo, then an undeveloped neighbourhood with not so much as a grocery store.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: CrimsonText, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;“People thought we were crazy,” she says. Victor chimes in with a chuckle: “Our families were like, ‘You can go to Staten Island and get a house with property!’ ” They borrowed the money to purchase a loft, and so began the cycle of renovating and selling their homes though, Athena insists, “we weren’t flippers. The reason we became serial movers is because our needs kept changing.” When their son, Jivan, now 15, was born, they wanted another room, and so on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: CrimsonText, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;“Each time we amplified our space, it also amplified my interest in design,” Athena says, admitting that one early apartment was so stark that when Madonna, who was collaborating with Victor at the time, visited, she asked, “Where is all your &lt;a href=&quot;https://technorenovation.com/&quot;&gt;furniture&lt;/a&gt;?” With each new home, however, the spaces became more nuanced and layered. Eventually Athena enrolled at Parsons to study interior design, and in 2012 she launched a blog, EyeSwoon. “Cooking, decorating, and entertaining gave me a way to bring people together in my home,” she says.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: CrimsonText, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;The Cobble Hill place is the eighth home the couple have done together. “I’d reached a point in my confidence level where I didn’t want a developer choosing my bathroom fixtures and base moldings,” Athena says. “I was like, ‘Come on, Vic, let’s do a townhouse.’ ” Victor, accustomed to the openness of loft living, thought townhouses were “dark and narrow.” He told his wife, “If we do it, it needs to be a wide one,” which, he adds, “made it really tough within our budget.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: CrimsonText, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;The house they found had been broken up into separate units, and only three of the four tenants would grant access. “The parlor floor, which is the floor you want to see the most, was like, ‘Sorry, not a good day,’ ” he recalls. While the brokers tried to negotiate entry, he texted Athena. “I was like, ‘Babe, this is it. I’m blown away. We have to figure out a way to make it work.’ I’m texting and walking,” he continues, “and the next thing I know, I slam my head into this shelf with a nail sticking out and split my head open. The brokers start screaming. My broker was like, ‘Call an ambulance!’ The other broker was like, ‘You’re bleeding on the floor!’ ” An ambulance arrived, and he was told he needed stitches. “Vic’s like, ‘I just want to see the parlor floor!’ ” says Athena, laughing. “We were real committed. I mean, a 25-footer? We weren’t letting it go.” Adds Victor: “I walk back in with my head bandaged, and turn to the broker and say, ‘I bled for this home. You need to make this happen.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: CrimsonText, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.2px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://dottieholiday.blogspot.com/feeds/5429754361628712515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://dottieholiday.blogspot.com/2022/05/how-this-stunning-brooklyn-townhouse.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6155165920546586269/posts/default/5429754361628712515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6155165920546586269/posts/default/5429754361628712515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://dottieholiday.blogspot.com/2022/05/how-this-stunning-brooklyn-townhouse.html' title='How This Stunning Brooklyn Townhouse Became a Forever Family Home'/><author><name>Micah Costa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392553755784934826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155165920546586269.post-947596340818448942</id><published>2022-05-08T23:11:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2022-05-08T23:11:54.834-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Making Sense Of Cents – Best Financial Lifestyle </title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;&quot;&gt;Michelle Schroeder Gardner made our list of 20 best &lt;a href=&quot;https://lelylifestyles.com/&quot;&gt;lifestyle&lt;/a&gt; blogs for her no-nonsense and straightforward approach to managing money, making her financial advice blog easy for just about anyone to follow and implement.
