  CAN I USE THE CRÈME FOUNDATION WITHOUT THE LIQUID TINT?  
  You can go without the Liquid Tint but know that your face won't match your neck. The tint evens out the natural tones of the skin and matches your face and neck color. The oil-free Liquid Tint also helps to set the Crème Foundation. With these 2 products, you will be assured of 24-hr wearability if you avoid touching your face during the day.  
 
  WHY DOES MY FOUNDATION AND SMILE SMOOTHER SETTLE INTO MY WRINKLES AND CREASE UNDER MY EYES?  
  If the Crème Foundation and Smile Smoother crease under your eyes then it hasn't been set enough. Pat gently under the eye with your finger or Egg Shaped Sponge to blend out the creases. Don't swipe, it will remove the Crème Foundation and Smile Smoother. Then with the Chiseled Shadow Blender brush lightly dust the Professional Setting Powder over the area. The Professional Setting Powder will set the Crème Foundation and Smile Smoother keeping it from creasing.  
 
  WHY DOESN'T MY MAKEUP LOOK AS FLAWLESS OR AS LIFTED AS IT DID WHEN I HAD MY LESSON?  
  First question...Are you using the Skin Treatment? If you are using the Skin Treatment daily and in the correct order the makeup will be easier to apply, look smooth and glow. If you are using the Skin Treatment regularly then not enough Crème Foundation is being applied. If you are applying enough foundation, your skin will be evenly pale with no freckles or discoloration showing. The Liquid Tint is used to add color. If you don't see a difference when you are using the Contours and Neutralizers, you are probably not applying enough or you are blending them away. Apply more product until you see the difference you saw in your lesson. When you see a difference....stop!  
 
  WHY DOES MY MAKEUP LOOK CAKEY?  
  If you are using another brand of powder, then your makeup is likely to cake and look unnatural. My powder is specifically formulated. It is finely milled so that it will go on as a soft veil and set your foundation and Contours and Neutralizers. Other brands of powder are usually made for coverage which will cause your makeup to look cakey.

If you are using my powder with the makeup and still look cakey then it could be that you are not exfoliating your skin daily. The build-up of dead skin cells will cause the powder to grab to that layer and look cakey and dry. Exfoliate daily!
 
 
  HOW DO I TELL WHAT COLOR CRÈME FOUNDATION I USE IN THE WINTER WHEN MY SKIN IS LIGHTER?  
  You will use the same color Crème Foundation in the winter as you do in the summer. Your skin undertone will never change (yellow or pink tones), therefore you will always use the same color foundation. Just change the amount of Liquid Tint that you use. Apply enough Tint to blend and match the color of skin on your neck. Should you become darker in the summer, add more Liquid Tint.  
 
  WHAT MAKES CHRISTI'S BRUSHES AND TOOLS DIFFERENT THEN OTHERS ON THE MARKET?  
  My one of a kind makeup brushes are specifically designed to last for years with proper care. Re-creating your look at home makes it easier when brushes and pigment levels are designed to work together. Each brush is hand made with the specific width, length and sable or pony hair in the perfect firmness or softness to give you goof proof application.

Also my Precision Brow Planer™ is designed with a specific length for easy use and the tip is designed to remove each hair precisely and smoothly, even removes peach fuzz below the brow and facial hair which gives your eye makeup and face a more flawless look.
