—————Editor’s Note——————<br />
An Ode to New<br />
Beginnings<br />
Someone wise once said that the journey<br />
of a thousand miles begins with a single<br />
step. And so it is that we are making this<br />
first step which will hopefully<br />
lead to many greater steps.<br />
It is truly a beautiful feeling to<br />
see this first issue going to publication.<br />
It is my hope that this<br />
will be the first of many.<br />
It was only fitting that the first<br />
article of the first issue clear up<br />
the question of Who is<br />
Sarayna? and give some background<br />
information on<br />
Sarayna Designs. In this first issue you will<br />
find information on choosing a make up<br />
artist for your big day. We also give the<br />
411 on selecting the right foundation, what<br />
brushes to select for your kit as well as<br />
pointers for maintaining healthy skin.<br />
In light of the editorial photo shoot at the<br />
centre of the issue we decided to make<br />
brides the focus. So whatever the beauty<br />
query, we have our brides covered!<br />
In pretty much the same way<br />
as the vision for Sarayna Designs<br />
is continuing to evolve,<br />
so too will the heart and soul<br />
of this publication. As we add<br />
new endeavours to our portfolio,<br />
the magazine will reflect<br />
these changes.<br />
In our next issue we will be<br />
introducing a column for<br />
those who want to write in<br />
with beauty related questions.<br />
In addition, feedback received from you<br />
our valued readers and subscribers will<br />
be published in the magazine. There is so<br />
much more to come so do join us on the<br />
journey.<br />
Happy reading!<br />

Who is SARAYNA?<br />
“It provided me with the<br />
outlet I needed to share my<br />
talents with the world.”<br />
“The dream has taken on<br />
a life all its own and like<br />
a slave to my passions I<br />
can do nothing but relent<br />
in submission.”<br />

Who?<br />
Who is Sarayna?<br />
Sarayna is the name of my unborn.<br />
Or to be more accurate,<br />
the name I intend to give to my<br />
first daughter (albeit not yet<br />
conceived). Beyond that, it is<br />
also the name I give to my creative<br />
force, somewhat of an alterego,<br />
if you will.<br />
What?<br />
What is Sarayna<br />
Designs?<br />
Sarayna Designs Inc. is a fullrange<br />
creative company. We<br />
offer makeup services and<br />
workshops and have also<br />
launched a line of decorative<br />
pillows. There is also lots more<br />
in store for the coming months.<br />
When?<br />
When was it started?<br />
The business was originally<br />
launched as Sarayna<br />
Designs Makeup Artistry in<br />
May of 2009 but has been reregistered<br />
as a full range creative<br />
company as of 2011.<br />
Why?<br />
Why did you start Sarayna<br />
Designs?<br />
I have always loved art and creating<br />
and was always challeng-<br />
ing myself with various mediums.<br />
Designer Patricia Field said,<br />
“Don’t ask what you can do.<br />
Ask what are you good at.” For<br />
me that pretty much sums up<br />
the why and so when I had to<br />
make a choice, I chose art and<br />
formed Sarayna Designs. It<br />
provided me with the outlet I<br />
needed to share my talents<br />
with the world.<br />
What Next?<br />
There are lots of plans in place<br />
regarding the way forward.<br />
Much of it is still being ironed<br />
out as I go along. The dream<br />
has taken on a life all its own<br />
and like a slave to my passions<br />
I can do nothing but relent in<br />
submission. I have my sights<br />
set on a line of cosmetics and<br />
clothing and more that I can’t<br />

mention just yet. The ultimate<br />
goal though is to make<br />
Sarayna Designs a brand in<br />
and of itself that provides products<br />
and services of international<br />
quality and standards.<br />

FOUNDATION 101<br />
TOOLS<br />
A good foundation<br />
brush or<br />
sponge wedges<br />
are crucial if you<br />
want to<br />
apply your<br />
foundation properly. Also, don’t<br />
overlook your hands—the best tools<br />
at your disposal. Your natural body<br />
heat warms the foundation as you apply<br />
it<br />
Lesson 1: Decide on a product<br />
What’s your skin type? How much<br />
coverage will you need? Are you<br />
comfortable with a full face of make<br />
up or just want to try something<br />
really light and simple?<br />
For many women the thought of finding the right<br />
foundation is as daunting as going on a blind date<br />
to find a mate. You don’t know what to expect,<br />
you’ve quiet likely never tried it before and if you<br />
have, the last time you did it was a disaster! But<br />
not to worry. Unfortunately, we can’t give you any<br />
advice on the blind date but as for the makeup,<br />
we’ve got you covered.<br />
Lesson 2: Choosing your shade<br />
Now that you’ve decided on what to buy the next challenge<br />
will be to determine the perfect match for your<br />
skin tone.<br />
CREAMS<br />
These tend to be popular among professional<br />
artist but there is no reason<br />
everyone can’t learn to master using<br />
them. They generally come in compacts<br />
or stick form. The coverage is<br />
fuller than that offered<br />
by liquids but<br />
can still becontrolled<br />
based on application.<br />

LIQUIDS<br />
Liquids are a good bet for those looking for minimal<br />
coverage. These come in various forms.<br />
Tinted moisturizers are very lightweight. As the name<br />
suggests, they are really moisturizers with a hint of<br />
colour.<br />
Light to medium coverage foundations that allow you<br />
to control coverage based on the amount you use.<br />
POWDERS<br />
These can be pressed or loose.<br />
Pressed powders, in a compact, are<br />
easier to carry around for during the<br />
day touch ups. Powders can be used<br />
over (liquid/cream)<br />
foundation to set it<br />
or they can be used<br />
alone for minimal<br />
coverage.<br />
