MAKEUP 101 - LIP TRICKS

Use lip pencils, gloss and concealer to transform lips.

1. TO MAKE COLOR LAST LONGER
Apply lip liner to entire lip area, use a lip brush to gently blend any hard lines around the edges and then apply a gloss or a lipstick.

2. TO TRANSFORM A LIPSTICK SHADE
Use a lip pencil as a base for lipstick to make it look browner, deeper or redder, depending on the shade of the pencil. For a shinier finish, use lipstick as a base for gloss.

3. TO MAKE LIPS LOOK FULLER
Apply a highlighter slightly above the natural contour of the Cupid's bow. Apply desired shade of lipcolor. Using a lip liner in a shade that matches lipcolor, follow the outer dimensions of the lips and trace around the lip line. Dab gloss on the center of lower lip.

4. TO MAKE LIPS LOOK THINNER

Highlight – a shade lighter. Contour – a shade darker. The Highlight shade brings features forward. The Contour shade makes them recede.

NARROW YOUR NOSE
Highlight down the center of your nose to the width that you want to appear, then place contour on either side of the nose. Blend well.

SOFTEN A HEAVY JAW LINE
Shade around square jawline to make that area recede and create a more oval shape. Blend borders with a base shade.

Avon Foundation for Women Announces Avon Walk for Breast Cancer's 10th Birthday Season!



It's time to dust off your walking shoes because the 2012 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer season is here. This year marks a very important milestone for the Avon Walk: its 10th Birthday! As we walk this year, we'll reflect on the great achievements in breast cancer research and care over the last decade, while continuing to take strides towards creating a world without breast cancer.

Since the Avon Walks began in 2003, they have raised more than $423 million through the dedication of nearly 160,000 participants, including women and men ranging in age from their teens to those in their 80s, from every walk of life. Many of those walkers were you, our dedicated Avon Representatives. In the last decade, Avon Walkers have walked 5.3 million miles—that's the equivalent of 210 times around the earth. All of that walking and fund-raising has enabled the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade to fund nearly 2.7 million mammograms for underinsured women in the U.S. and 1,800 grants for breast cancer research, clinical care and support services for those who need it most.

Funds raised at the Avon Walks also support life-saving breast cancer research that has contributed to an increase in breast cancer survival rates: five-year survival rates after a breast cancer diagnosis have improved from 70% in 1992 to greater than 85% today. We've made great strides already, but Avon and the Avon Foundation for Women won't stop supporting the breast cancer cause until we find a successful treatment for breast cancer.

The Avon Foundation thanks Representatives like you for the support you've provided over the years. In 2011 alone, more than 236 members on the "Team Avons" across the country raised more than $387,000! We encourage you, your families and your friends to join a Team Avon at one of the nine Walks during this special 10th Birthday year.

The 2012 season steps off on February 4 with Avon Walk 10th Birthday Parties in all nine Avon Walk cities. These Birthday Parties are a great way to get answers to all of your Avon Walk questions, hear from local beneficiaries, meet fellow participants and learn more about teams, fund-raising and training. For more information or to register for an Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, visit www.avonwalk.org or call 1-888-540-WALK(9255).

The complete 2012 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer schedule includes: Houston (April 21–22), Washington, DC (May 5–6), Boston (May 19–20), Chicago (June 2–3), Rocky Mountains (June 23–24), San Francisco (July 7–8), Santa Barbara (September 22–23), New York (October 20–21) and Charlotte (October 27–28).

We hope you'll join us at a 2012 Avon Walk!

Happy 20th Anniversary to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade!

The year 2012 brings much to celebrate at the Avon Foundation for Women. Not only does this year mark the 10th Birthday season of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, but it's also a milestone year for the enormously successful global Avon Breast Cancer Crusade?its 20th Anniversary!

The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade's life-saving work over the past two decades has placed Avon at the forefront of the fight against breast cancer. Today, Avon is the leading corporate supporter of the breast cancer cause globally. Much of this progress is a direct result of Representative support?in the form of selling Pink Ribbon merchandise; supporting the cause by walking in and supporting the Avon Walks; and by spreading the message of early detection to your friends and family. We couldn't have gotten this far without you, so THANK YOU!

Let's take a look at some of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade's incredible accomplishments over the past 20 years:

• Since the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade launched in 1992, Avon breast cancer programs in 58 countries have donated more than $740 million for research and advancing access to care, regardless of a person's ability to pay.
  
• Since the sale of its first Pink Ribbon product in the United Kingdom in 1992, Avon has raised more than $283 million through the sale of a wide variety of Pink Ribbon products.
  
• The Crusade has enabled more than 17 million women globally to receive FREE mammograms and breast cancer screenings; educated more than 100 million women about breast cancer; and funded promising research into the causes of breast cancer and ways to prevent the disease.
  

The field of breast cancer research and treatment has also improved dramatically over the past 20 years. Here are just a few examples:

• Twenty years after Avon began its efforts to fight breast cancer, five-year survival rates after a breast cancer diagnosis have improved from an average of 70% in 1992 to greater than 85% today for those with access to care. For breast cancers caught early, five-year survival odds can be greater than 95%.
  
• Advances in breast imaging?digital mammography, ultrasound and MRI?enable doctors to find tumors before a palpable lump can be felt.
  
• Surgical procedures have become less invasive and mastectomy is not always needed; rather, lumpectomy plus radiation has become the standard of care in most cases.
  
• Research conducted over the past 20 years has enabled scientists to better understand that there are different types of breast cancer, and develop new diagnostic tests to enable more targeted and individualized breast cancer therapies.
  

Although much progress to end breast cancer has been made, the battle has not yet been won. Therefore, the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade will persevere in its mission until breast cancer is eradicated. You can help the cause by continuing to sell Pink Ribbon fund-raising products; walking in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer (or supporting friends who are walking); and talking to your doctor about breast health and your breast cancer risk. Thank you for being In It to End It with us as we continue our commitment to ensure that all women have access to high-quality care.

Avon Continues Global Efforts to End Violence Against Women and Honors International Women's Day

The statistics are staggering: one in three women worldwide has been a victim of domestic violence?physical, sexual or emotional abuse?at least once in her life. In the United States, a woman is battered every nine seconds, and more than three women are murdered each day by their husbands or boyfriends.

To empower women and help provide women everywhere with the right to live peacefully in their own homes without violence or abuse, the Avon Foundation for Women launched its Speak Out Against Domestic Violence initiative in the U.S. in 2004. Since that time, the Avon Foundation has made great progress in its efforts to raise awareness of domestic violence and to support the victims. To date, the Avon Foundation and Avon global philanthropy have donated nearly $40 million across the globe to end violence against women.

Over the past five years, the Avon Foundation has taken part in a series of International Women's Day activities to help call attention to women's issues worldwide. From cohosting the Global Summit for a Better Tomorrow at the United Nations in 2007 and 2008, and launching the Avon Global Center for Women and Justice at Cornell Law School in 2009, to initiating the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Women in 2010, the Avon Foundation has renewed its commitment to ending domestic violence every year.

The special Avon Empowerment products that Avon Representatives sell are a critical source of fund-raising for the Speak Out Against Domestic Violence initiative. The first of these products were launched in 2008, and new ones have been introduced each year to raise crucial funds for programs to reduce domestic and gender violence around the globe. The products feature the infinity symbol, which represents lives with unlimited potential when free from violence.

For this year's International Women's Day, the Avon Foundation and its Honorary Chair, Reese Witherspoon, will join more than 1,500 activists and advocates from more than 90 countries who work in shelters or programs dedicated to assisting domestic violence victims and families at the 2nd World Conference of Women's Shelters, held February 27?March 1. At the conference, the Avon Foundation will recognize best practices in communications from around the world that focus on ending violence against women, and Reese Witherspoon will present a special communications award to four organizations. Reese will also introduce the 2012 Empowerment product: the elegant Circle of Support Necklace.

This gorgeous silvertone necklace features a series of interlocking infinity symbols, and is priced at $5. Avon will donate 100 percent of net profits ($3.71 for each necklace sold) to the Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program.

"Each year, in recognition of International Women's Day, the Avon Foundation offers a new Empowerment product that provides a tangible way women and men can help end the devastating impact of violence against women," says Carol Kurzig, president of the Avon Foundation for Women. "To every Avon Representative who sells this Circle of Support Necklace?and our other breast cancer and domestic violence products?we offer you our heartfelt thanks for your dedication and commitment. We could not accomplish our goals without your support. You are the reason we are saving lives."

HAIR STYLING BASICS WITH THE PROS

Client question:  I can achieve really voluptuous curls, but the ends look a bit frazzled and it's never shiny like the celebs! Is there anything that would give me super-shiny locks?

The advice from our pros:
PUT A LITTLE DRY ENDS SERUM ON YOUR FINGER TIPS AND APPLY DIRECTLY TO DAMAGED/ROUGH ENDS. YOU WILL NOTICE AN IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE AS THEY WILL INSTANTLY APPEAR CONDITIONED AND HEALTHY. 
IT CAN SOMETIMES BE HARDER TO CREATE SHINE ON CURLY HAIR, BUT I FIND THAT MIRROR SHINE SPRAY PROVIDES A NICE REFLECTIVE SHINE ON ALL HAIR TEXTURES WITHOUT LEAVING HAIR WEIGHED DOWN OR GREASY.

MORE HAIR CARE BASICS WITH THE PROS

Client question:   I color my hair, and even though I use conditioner every day and get regular cuts, it still looks damaged and lifeless. What can I do?

What the pros say:
Every time you color your hair you are opening the hair cuticle, which causes your hair to look and feel rough and damaged. Use a daily, in-shower, color protection treatment like Advance Techniques Color Protection Lock-In Treatment, which will smooth and seal the hair cuticle to help maintain color longer and leave hair looking shiny, smooth and vibrant.

LET'S TALK ABOUT HAIR CARE BASICS.

Ok, probably the most basic question that is asked is what's the best way to shampoo?  Should I use conditioner every time I wash my hair? 


There are so many products out there, it just gets really confusing!

Here's what the pros say: 
FIRST, YOU NEED TO SELECT AN APPROPRIATE SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER BASED ON YOUR SPECIFIC HAIR NEEDS. ADVANCE TECHNIQUES OFFERS A FULL-RANGE OF SHAMPOOS AND CONDITIONERS THAT ADDRESS A WIDE-RANGE OF HAIR TYPES AND CONDITIONS.  I RECOMMEND MY CLIENTS SHAMPOO AND CONDITION EVERY TIME THEY WASH THEIR HAIR. THESE ARE THE TIPS I GIVE TO MY CLIENTS:
Gently massage your scalp when shampooing. It's relaxing, helps remove buildup and, most importantly, stimulates your scalp to promote healthy hair growth. Use warm water, not hot, when washing hair. Hot water can be drying to both scalp and hair. To get the most out of your conditioner, make sure to squeeze excess water out of hair prior to applying. If hair is completely saturated with water, it is hard for your conditioner to effectively penetrate the hair. Finally, after applying conditioner, rinse hair with cooler water to help seal, or close, the cuticle and lock in the benefits of your conditioner.
