Create Perfect Smoky Eyes for Prom!

It’s Prom Season - one of the most exciting nights in a young girl’s life!  


Smoky eyes are always a popular option for prom night and much easier to achieve than you might think.  Forget the traditional blacks and charcoal grays; create a beautiful, dramatic look with our MistyBlue trio!







Prep

To ensure your eye shadow application lasts all night, apply concealer to eye lids as a primer. 







Eye Shadow

Step 1:  Apply the taupe color over the complete eye lid.


Step 2:  Apply the dark blue color on to the eye lid area to the desired intensity.  This color should only be applied on the eyelid itself, not too close to the tear duct or too high near the brow area.


Step 3:  Apply the highlighter color below the brow and at the tear duct area to clean and add emphasis to the darker shades.




Apply black eyeliner.  To add more intensity to your lash lines, apply it both inside and outside the rim and frame of the eye. 




Finally apply lengthening mascara with fiber extensions for eyes that pop.

Dr Johnson's Corner: Lighten Up with Restore


Dr. Ben Johnson, MD
Once again we have shown that Osmosis Skincare is a top contender when it comes to addressing various skin issues.  Not only is it possible to reverse aging but we can now also repair damaged cells and calm inflammation to begin the healing process. Restore™ is the first-ever treatment for aging, hyperpigmentation, and, specifically melasma because of its unique ability to focus on the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). This is where scar tissue builds up from the constant inflammation that occurs in the skin. Focus needs to be on healing this damage to remove the potential skin discolorations and reduce the progression of aging, disease and inflammation.



Research shows that the likely causes of aging are the accumulation of protein damage (from free radicals) found in the body. Protein oxidation occurs daily in all 50 trillion of our cells. Restore™ heals them in dramatic fashion both inside the body and on the skin.



Restore
Available as an internal supplement and topical serum, each provides its own advantages to healing and improving the body’s immunity. Restore™ Internal uses sublingual drops to correct inflammation and damage in every organ and cell in the body. It reduces the impact of most viral infections; controls yeast, fungus, and bacteria; corrects abnormal immune activity; and heals protein oxidation. Restore™ Topical works to heal the damaged skin cells that signal the melanocyte to overproduce pigmentation. Once the cell is healed, it allows the melanocyte to produce normal amounts of protective melanin. The most remarkable change in the skin results with the permanent removal of most hyperpigmentation.



Restore™ will give your client’s immune system the upgrade it needs, resulting in a reduced rate of aging and a return to complete wellness.

One-on-One with Osmosis Colour

By Robin McGee, President



The Introduction of Colour:



Having worked in the beauty business for over two decades and developing award winning makeup collections that have been distributed worldwide, it has been a complete joy to create Osmosis Colour.  This collection has been formulated and designed to offer performance, versatility, style and ease of application – all at a value.  We heard your concern regarding ingredients and you will find that we created categories free of titanium and bismuth while keeping our actives of amino acids, proteins, vitamins and antioxidants to enhance skin benefits in our products.




Formulation Highlights:


Our blend of minerals deliver seamless coverage and colors that will not oxidize or settle into pores making it easy for all skin types to use.


Our pressed base formulations come in a reliable compact so it’s easy to change your look with the season while still being environmentally kind.


To keep the collection versatile, we offer a variety of pressed base foundations in 11 shades with golden, natural, beige, and deep undertones. 
 

Our eye shadow trios allow for a simple wash of color across your lids.  Layer colors to increase intensity making it an easy transition for day to night.

Blushes in 4 versatile shades, you’ll want them all!






Specialty Items:

Lips are sensitive so keeping them hydrated is high on everyone’s list.  Our lip gloss formulation will do just that!  With an added hint of grapefruit and strawberry extract, your lips will stay fresh and your senses will too.
 

Defining and brightening the eyes always makes a positive impact; our Age Defying Treatment Concealer is the perfect combination.  A hydration stick to plump and smooth lines around the eyes (also great as a lip treatment!), coupled with our concealer that is flawless at hiding dark circles or skin imperfections … you’ll never want to leave home without it!


Our water resistant brow gel is the perfect answer for shaping, filling in or coloring brow hairs.  It also works great as a liner, especially when laying poolside or hitting the beach.

As we all know, our customers have a very busy life style.  While balancing family, career and personal demands, we still want to look and feel our best but be smart about how and what we spend our money on.  These demands and the importance of value drives the customers, so we made it a part of the blueprint for our collection.  We designed the brand to achieve multiple benefits and results in every category offered.

This is Colour for the multigenerational beauty era –
“go ahead and share with your mom or daughter”. 
Get started now and enjoy
being you and being beautiful!

Dr Johnson's Corner :: Osmosis Introduces Colour!


It was important to me to offer a mineral makeup line that would be an extension of Osmosis Skincare including the benefits of amino acids, proteins, vitamins and skin protection.  Along with these great benefits, I wanted our makeup to perform at the level Osmosis Skincare does and meet the expectation of our customers.



I employed a team that had many years of experience in working with minerals on the skin.  Through their expertise, they have formulated Osmosis Colour combining minerals that include Zinc, Mica, Iron Oxides, and Titanium Dioxide along with skin nutrients at specific levels to provide excellent results in a range of categories.



This launch of Osmosis Colour combined with our skincare will enable you to provide a high-performing, result driven beauty and skincare regime for your clients.


Best Regards

Rethinking the "Peel" with Facial Infusion

By Corporate Educator, Jamie Palmer, RN



The Osmosis Facial Infusion brings you a revolutionary facial treatment that will have you rethinking the “peel”.  No longer must your clients avoid the sun, damage their skin, or experience pain for beauty.  Vitamin A is the best anti-aging ingredient we can offer our skin and Osmosis uses the most active, least irritating form:  Retinaldehyde.



The Osmosis Facial Infusion has 2.0% Retinaldehyde present (the highest amount available in the market) and is the only non-acid peel that will infuse the dermis with fibroblast stimulators, immune boosters, antioxidants, pigment lighteners, and calming anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial ingredients.  This powerful combination rejuvenates the skin by increasing collagen production, fighting free radical damage, scavenging scar tissue and helping reduce hyperpigmentation making it an amazing treatment for any skin type or condition. 


For full protocol and Before & After results, visit our website.


While Facial Infusion increases nourishment to the skin, natural cellular turnover is increased allowing for an effective, yet gentle resurfacing of the epidermis.  Deep wrinkles will begin to diminish and elasticity and firmness will increase as your skin is infused with essential proven ingredients to help reverse aging and improve the health of your skin.



As the days are getting longer and your acid peel clientele is diminishing, bring them back in with the Facial Infusion that will give them the results they are looking for while not sensitizing their skin to the sun.

Dr Johnson's Corner - DNA Repair for the most sensitive of skin!

Lately we have been telling you about some remarkable new products that are revolutionizing skincare as we know it. This month we are excited to introduce the NEW Catalyst Plus+, an aloe based gel formulation that can be used on the most sensitive of skin.

    
It’s very important to understand what is going on with Catalyst and Catalyst Plus+. As you may know, Catalyst is the first ever DNA repair serum on the market. It corrects and improves skin tags, actinic keratoisis and other skin disturbances that require DNA repair, along with dramatic lightening results to pigmentation and scar tissue revision.     

What’s unique about Catalyst Plus+ is that rather the using 10% L-Ascorbic Acid as we do in Catalyst, we’re using 20% Ascorbyl Glucoside in the new Catalyst Plus+ formula. After long and extensive research I determined that Ascorbyl Glucoside is the most stable form of Vitamin C. The neat thing about this is that it is a sustained released product, giving your skin the time it needs to break apart the glucoside from the L-Ascorbic Acid, and delivering fresh Vitamin C into your skin.

Catalyst Plus+ is a wonderful addition to the strategy and treatment of hyperpigmentation used in combination with Restore Topical and Restore Internal.     

Now you can achieve all of the great results you saw with Catalyst for all skin types!
