QUESTION: What are the the best (and low cost) foundations out there for oily type skin? I have very oily skin and liquid foundation seems to make it worse. Or maybe it’s just the brand I’m using? YVETTE’S ADVICE: Hello Chica. It could be the brand but it could mainly be the ingredients, too. If you use an oil based foundation this will intensify the problem because you are adding oil on top of oil. A solution to that would be … Read more →

"She Doesn't Know We're Doing This…Shhh."

We love all of our SoLa fans. Without you there would be no SoLatina. When we launched SoLatina as a Facebook page back in 2010, we really didn’t know what to expect. We just wanted to provide an outlet and platform for single Latina moms like ourselves to come together because there was really no other place for us to do so online. When we decided to start adding professionals to SoLatina, the first person we immediately thought of was Yvette … Read more →

QUESTION: Hi Yvette. I have a question for you. I am Mexican and dark-skinned. All my friends say I should wear bright red lipstick when we go out to the club because it will look good on me. I’ve tried it a few times and even though I get compliments, I think it looks awful on me. I have dark skin so I think a darker shade will compliment my lips and skin tone better. Am I right or are my … Read more →

QUESTION: How can I get my eyebrows to grow back? I’m 25 and had a waxing accident at the salon. YVETTE’S ADVICE: Hey chica. Sorry about your eyebrow situation. Unfortunately, waxing is a “do or die” type of thing when it comes to perfection. If it goes wrong once, then it’s going to last forever. Your eyebrows will grow, depending on the rate that your hair grows, so if your hair grows slowly then so will your eyebrows. What many people … Read more →

Hope you are having yourself a lovely day! So, some of you were informed recently that I was coming out with my own makeup line called “ZombieGlam”. I voluntarily decided to put it on hold, though, because when I do things I like to do them as right and as perfect as possible. In the process of educating myself, buying ingredients to experiment with, researching, contacting the FDA about requirements, etc. I came across a few issues that I would like … Read more →

Red is the HARDEST color to keep on your hair, hence the fact that I only last a … Read more →

QUESTION: I cannot get the black dye out of my hair that I put in it. Even bleaching it doesn’t work. I think it might be because of the oil I put in it. I need advice! YVETTE’S ADVICE: Hi. You gave me a great clue! “Even bleaching it doesn’t work”, which leads me to believe that you have dyed your hair with Henna dyes. As sad as it sounds this is one of the worst things that could happen … Read more →

QUESTION: I bleached my hair a few weeks ago and now my hair is breaking. Do you know any Latina home remedies for hair breakage? YVETTE’S ADVICE: Unfortunately, breakage occurs automatically with bleach (at least 80% of the time) because the natural proteins and keratin of the hair are stripped out (key words: protein and keratin). Any treatments rich in protein and keratin will help your hair reconstruct itself or at least become stronger against future damage. I have found that … Read more →
