Chris ScottMakeup Artist/Trainer, Virtual Stager, Best Selling Author, Gourmet Chef, and creator of Running Fork Comfort Catering·Makeup GourmetMany of you have joined us for Chris Scott’s previous holiday presentations, which have become a familiar and enjoyable part of our seasonal webinar lineup.

This year marks the fourth installment in his holiday entertaining series. Chris brings a lively, playful energy to his presentations that keeps people engaged from start to finish. He mixes clear instruction with storytelling, humor, and practical hosting ideas, which makes his sessions feel more like being in the kitchen with a very creative friend than watching a traditional demonstration.

“The best makeup application book ever!!! Everything is explained, and if you do the techniques used you really do notice a difference and get a professional look…“
Paying respect to your anatomy with makeup produces the best and most clear results. Once you understand your anatomy, where makeup goes is unmistakable. When makeup is in the wrong place on someone’s face, that is all that we notice. When everything is in the right place, we notice the person, not the makeup.
“I’m not sure I can adequately convey how helpful this book is. I read it over the weekend and today, for the first time in my life, I felt completely confident that I had correctly applied my makeup. And 12 hours after I’d applied it, it was still in place and looking perfect. I’ve read many other books and watched lots of tutorials (about 30 years’ worth), but nothing makes as much sense or is as easy to understand as Face with a Heart. Certainly for me, no otherguide has netted such immediate and obvious improvement in my proficiency. The system Chris Scott has devised is entirely unique, utterly logical, supremely effective, and has forever changed the way I do my makeup, and the way I feel about the result.“
That is why to understand your true beauty is to understand your true anatomy. It takes the mystery out of why and where makeup goes. Thus the result you wish to achieve is always at your fingertips.
Great book! I’ve been using the techniques in this book for a few months now. I’m surprised every day with the compliments I receive –I.e., my skin looks brighter, I look much younger, even that I look beautiful. I’m only sorry I didn’t understand before how to put my efforts to better use. It’s much more satisfying to put on makeup now. Also, I don’t look like I’m wearing too much makeup. I have a casual, natural look. Great book. I especially like the specific techniques, the overall principles to them, the best brushes to buy and what step are ok to skip if I’m short on time. BTW, I’ve purchased some products from the author’s website and they’re better priced than I’ve found elsewhere and the quality is great.

The appearance of healthy mature skin is only skin deep.
Our top layer of skin, which is an ingenious evolutionary system of constantly replicating fresh new skin cells to replace dead and shedding skin cells, is where the appearance of healthy skin lies.
Give your skin a reason to replace surface dead skin cells with fresh young skin cells, and it will.
The benefit of fresh surface skin cells is a smoother, healthier skin, both in appearance and in skin’s primary function to protect the body.
The trick is to keep water from evaporating out of the top layer of skin.
Hyaluronic acid are cells that absorb up to 1,000 times their weight and size in water. They exist mostly in the joints of our body to keep joints lubricated and moist.
A topical layer of hyaluronic acid applied to our skin before moisturizer will keep the water already in our skin and retain water from your moisturizer. This is a brilliant concept for healthy looking skin.
Enriched w/ Sodium Hyaluronate, Collagen and Retinoids, this emollient serum hydrates the skin leaving it soft and supple, while Anti-oxidants and soy proteins help protect against environmental damage. Size: .5 fl. oz. (15 g)
Cruelty free | Paraben free | Sulfate free | Gluten free Recommended for: All skin types. Made in USA
Solution #2: Exfoliation
Winter kills off surface skin cells faster. A surface of dead skin cells leaves the skin appearing ashy.
To avoid this, gently exfoliate weekly to remove the surface dead skin cells and reveal the fresh and healthy looking ones underneath. Exfoliation, merely by the fact that it speeds up the shedding of dead skin cells, encourages skin to produce more healthy fresh skin cells which increase the appearance of healthy skin.
Gives skin a professional, spa-like exfoliating facial. Contains microdermabrasion scrub that safely and efficiently removes dead skin cells leaving a silky smooth texture that is ready to welcome rejuvenating new skin cells. Size: 3.0 fl. oz. (85 ml) Cruelty free | Paraben free | Sulfate free | Gluten free Recommended for: All skin types. Made in USA
Solution #3: Glycolic Acid
Alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic acid work by removing the top layers of dead skin cells. Glycolic acid also seems to help reverse sun damage to the skin.
Apart from dissolving dead skin cells, glycolic acid also flattens the skin’s surface, leaves it feeling even and makes wrinkles less noticeable.
This luxurious, oil-free crème helps exfoliate dead skin cells while you sleep.It helps remove signs of aging, dryness and uneven skin tone. Besides facial skin, this cream is ideal for hydrating and repairing the décolleté area. Always use SPF 50 over cream when using on the neck during the day. Glycolic Content: 4.31% Size: 1 oz. (28.35 g) Cruelty free | Paraben Free | Sulfate free | Gluten Free Recommended for: All skin types. Made in USA
Bonus Solution: Mist
A simple spritz of water will refresh the appearance of surface dry skin. Unfortunately as it evaporates it takes moisture from your skin with it, making skin even drier than before.
A mist packed with humectants (moisture seeking natural extracts) not only refreshes skin, it attracts and holds onto moisture. This keeps surface skin more hydrated, can be used anytime, even over makeup, and promotes an essential oil sense of wellbeing.
A refreshing mist with natural extracts that soothe and soften the skin. Instantly rehydrates and refreshes all skin types and aids in restoring tone and elasticity as well as setting makeup. Use throughout the day as needed. Size: 4 fl. oz. (118 ml)
Cruelty free | Paraben free | Sulfate free | Gluten free Recommended for: All skin types Made in USA
