ABOUT A BEAUTY GEEK
01 May 08
My name is Janine Falcon and I’m a beauty geek.
What’s a beauty geek? A person who gets a major lift from the feel-good aspect of beauty as well as the beauty learning — skin care, hair care and makeup ingredients, how they work, why they work, how they work together, what works better than what, what works best for whom, how-to tips — and the enthusiastic sharing of related info with just about anyone, anywhere, anytime. Sheesh.
My beauty background includes several years on the beat at Canadian Living and Homemakers magazines, a stint as a plus model, and a successful side gig as a freelance makeup artist with a freshest-looking-you approach. I’m the first former magazine beauty editor in Canada to have established a beauty blog, and I’ve popped up on the ’08 season of “Canadian Idol” to talk grooming with the guys (here, have a wee peek at Part One — sorry, sound’s wonked — and Part Two). I’ve also stopped by “Canada AM” and local chat shows in Ottawa, York Region, Peel and Kitchener Waterloo to talk about Pantene and smart beauty spending and saving. As well, my byline’s appeared on beauty and related stories for Canadian Living, Homemakers, Fashion magazine, Chatelaine magazine, Metro news, CanadianLiving.com, Homemakers.com, Best Health Magazine, BestHealthMag.ca and the Look Good, Feel Better 2009 magazine.
While I love a new lipgloss as much as the next girl, really I’m all about solution-oriented beauty for all ages, stuff that delivers glowing skin, glossy hair, foolproof fresh-faced beauty, and compliment-attracting style whether you’re a teen, in your 20s or swingin’ 60. Kind of a geek, see?
Well, you will. *grin*
You can reach me at j9falcon@gmail.com, by the way. I’d love to hear from you.

Excellent beauty blog. I know you’re just the geek to guide us all through the maze of beauty products out there. I’m going to pick up some Posietint, will let you know if I glow! :)
