Spending time with Senior Artist Jane McKay from MAC cosmetics is like sitting down with an encyclopedia of makeup.

Her knowledge is so vast that I could barely keep up writing all tips she was sharing with me.

I hope you read part one of this incredible feature and here’s part two!

5) What about ethnic beauties? How can Asian women, Latinas and darker skin beauties work with makeup trends as they age?

* It’s very important that you choose a concealer and a foundation that will help achieve an even look. Ethnic beauties usually have a hard time at it with dark spots on their face and it makes such a huge difference when you even out the skin.

* Ethnic beauties MUST invest in the right foundation and the right texture for their skin.

* Ethnic beauties usually have a yellow undertone and using pink will seriously brighten and open the face.

I’ve been wearing MAC Cosmetics for a long time now. I mix some MAC colours with my other makeup items and I cannot remember when was the last time my makeup bag didn’t include at least three to four MAC products.

Lately, I’ve been wondering if MAC Cosmetics was a line that was still appropriate for women over 35. When you look at a cosmetic line like Bobbi Brown where all the colours are greyed down it’s easier to see how women of a certain age would gravitate towards that line.

MAC Cosmetics has much brighter and bolder colours and I wanted to understand how women needed to approach the line as they age.

I met with Senior Artist Jane McKay for a little MAC education.

During my meeting with her, I had some precise questions and she in return had very precise answers. She also managed to give me a 15-minute face that completely hid all of my hyperpigmentation spots (you’ll see the photo at the end of part 2).

I’m going to deviate a bit from the normal beauty, skincare, nutrition and wellness post to focus on a few things that are very important in helping us age well: hope and goals.

A few days ago, I wrote a very short post after president-elected Barack Obama had won the 44^th presidency because there were so many things happening that it was still hard for me to make sense of everything.

Like pretty much everyone, I’ve read pages upon pages of content on the Internet and I’ve watched more hours of CNN than permitted to catch up on all the highlights.

History has been made and it’s safe to say that the world has erupted in joy at the victory of Barack Obama and the final chapter of George W. Bush’s extended (and highly destructive) presidency.

I didn’t follow each speech, each slander, each Hollywood celebrity who was supporting Obama, each foreign president who wanted to see Obama in power or each allegation that he is associated with terrorism or Satan. These elections belong to Americans, but as a black person it was almost impossible not to sit in front of my telly filled with emotion in amazement at what I was witnessing. The entire campaign I thought this would never happen … I kept thinking the odds where too great … America was not ready … but I was obviously wrong.
