Motives Custom Blend foundation is designed to match skin tones perfectly and provides the desired coverage and finish by employing an advanced combination of bases, toners, enhancers, and modifiers that conceal any feature for a truly signature look. It sets a new standard in customized cosmetics with a simple process of choosing a base, adjusting with toner, then adding personal touches from an extensive selection of modifiers and enhancers that adjust the foundation texture, coverage and finish to meet any need or preference.

For a more natural coverage, a thinner can be added to dilute the base for a sheer finish.  A Hydrator can be added to a foundation to help restore moisture in dehydrated skin.

For those with t-zone shine or oily skin, a Mattifier imparts a flawless, shine-free, powder finish for camera-ready makeup as it absorbs any surface oil.  An Oil Control enhancer helps manage oil production for 8-10 hours by utilizing botanicals with astringent, purifying and cleansing qualities.

Need a lift? Skip the syringe! Fringe Benefit plumps fine lines, restores radiance and re-texturizes the skin, while Ultra Firming botanical complex uses soy protein for an instant tightening “flash” effect that lasts throughout the day.  It's almost like having liquid Botox.  Something everyone should include is the buildable Sunscreen Additive, which provides a lightweight, non-greasy SPF protection from harmful UV rays.

For those in need of extra coverage, Coverage Enhancers are used to increase the foundation pigment from medium coverage for slight imperfections such as rosacia, freckles and dark circles, to maximum coverage for camouflaging more severe problems like hyper-pigmentation, post-surgical bruising or discoloration, scars and tattoos.

Motives Custom Blend Foundation Bases and Toners can create the perfect shade for an individual’s skin by matching and neutralizing natural undertones. All seven Bases come in an oil-free formula, perfect if you are looking for an oil-free foundation.   They are paraben free and are 11% pigmented, which means more coverage in an age defying, lighter weight texture. Toners are intensive concentrates that come in 12 colors such as Yellow/Red which imparts peach undertones and Pearl which gives movement for that dewy glow.  These Toners provide the control to color-match any skin tone, adjust the foundation and create any shade imaginable in a talc-free formula that will never turn your foundation chalky. 

Custom blend foundations retail for $39.99 to $44.99.  (Foundation price is determined by modifers needed).  They are available for purchase through BeautyToYourDoor.com For additional information about our products, please visit www.BeautyToYourDoor.com or contact us at 413-629-3080 or 888-457-8797

When you change your hair color, do you change your makeup, too? Yes.  I find that changing a hair color is also a perfect opportunity to experiment with lip, cheek and eye-shadow colors too. (Your foundation, which needs to match your skin tone, should always stay a constant!!) Anyway, the rule of thumb, learned from a celebrity makeup artist-friend: If you’re taking your hair in a brighter direction – strawberry blonde, coppery red or rich chestnut – a shift to softer, neutral shades on your eyes and lips can look amazing. (I love our bestselling Motives Lip Shine in Radiant Glow)  Alternately, if you’re going blonder or darker, you can get away with bolder, more dramatic hues: red lips or a lush smoky eye.

Happy New Year!  The New Year brings us all a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the past year and again, make a resolution to do something to empower ourselves.  One way women can empower themselves is through the use of makeup.  It has been proven that when you look good, you feel good and it helps boost your confidence.  Empower yourself today with a personal consultation and make this Year a Beautiful Year with Beauty at Your Door.  Contact us today at 413-629-3080 or toll free at 888-457-8797
