Ambassador of the Month
Krista Gordon

Congratulations Krista Gordon, June's Ambassador of the Month!  Since 2004 Krista has come to HM for all of her skincare and beauty needs.  When asked what her favorite service is, Krista admits, "I'm a menu sampler!  Depending upon what I need I try new things and I'm always pleased with the service."  She sites Naomi's waxing and Kristie's tanning techniques as two of her favorites. 

When it comes to product, this Ambassador (like many before her) raves about Yonka's Masque No 1 saying that sometimes she uses the decadent cream on her entire body (hello luxury!).  She's also a fan of the La Natura line and DerMed for daily cleansing.
 
No matter what the service or product, Krista keeps coming back to HM because we do the beauty-related thinking for her, "After 5 years of coming to High Maintenance I trust that I'm always going to be taken care of and look amazing no matter what the service."  Thanks again for sending so many our way, Krista! Enjoy your $50 Gift Certificate to Hi-Spot!

A Word on Bronzer...

A good bronzer is key in any beauty regimine, especially in Seattle.  It wakes up pasty skin in the winter and adds a sun-kissed glow to your SPF protected face in the summer.  No matter what the season, selecting the right bronzer and applying it properly is key.  Here are a few things to keep in mind when adding color this season:
 
1.  Most bronzers come in a light, medium and dark versions.  Choose a shade that is no more than two darker than your natural skin tone.  Keep in mind, most women have naturally darker skin in the summer vs. the winter, if you're wearing bronzer daily you may want to adjust for the season.

2.  Unlike blush, bronzer can be applied to all areas where the sun naturally shines on your face (forehead, cheeks, nose and chin). 

3.  LESS IS MORE -- remember you're going for sun-kissed, not clown-like.  To avoid the latter, use a short, fluffy brush for applying powder-based bronzers (and be sure to blow off excess powder before application).  For cream-based product, use your finger or a makeup sponge and blend, blend blend! 

For more information or help selecting a bronzer that fits your needs, ask Miss Makeup, Kristie Stoffel after your next service with us.
