Ten Important Makeup Rules

One always follow certain types of rules in life same goes for makeup too. But what are makeup rules?  There are no rules about what you choose to wear, but there are rules on how to apply makeup what to use etc.

If you follow the rules you can avoid any sort of infections.

1. Do not use someone’s mascara and eye-liner. Eyes are very sensitive to microbes. Using your friend’s cosmetic, you can infect your eyes. In this case your friend shares not only her mascara with you, but also microbes.

2. Foundation and powder tone should correspond to your natural skin tone. Such a disgusting spectacle – orange/brown cheeks and white neck. Shade foundation carefully, to make a passage “chin-neck” unnoticeable.

3. Moisten your skin before going to bed and before you apply make-up. Moistening is a pledge for skin beauty. Cosmetic falls dewy skin in a better way, and moistening before going to bed helps smoothing skin out, keeps its elasticity and health.

4. Do not use mascara longer than for 3 months. Microbes again! During 3 months of usage mascara accumulates huge quantity of microbes. Even if you forget about   microbes, mascara is probably dried up for this period. To avoid microbes coming into mascara, do not make “up-and-down” motions with a brush in a tube – although this way you “refresh” mascara, you also push microbes inside. Instead of it, turn brush in a tube several times to scoop more mascara, and then take out brush.

5. Use eye-liner or pencil rationally. Too penciled eyes look unnatural. If you cannot draw a straight contour with a firm hand, then probably you should reduce eye-liner usage to minimum and use only eye-pencil.

6. Do not forget moistening lips constantly. There is nothing better, than a fruity kiss with tempting soft lips. In cold weather you should definitely use lip balm to prevent peeling and dryness. Moistening will also be useful while lipstick and lip-pencil usage.

7. Do not forget removing make-up before going to bed. We all know we should remove make-up before the night. If you ignore this procedure, the process of skin ageing is accelerated. Make-up only dries skin. Eye cosmetic weighs eyelids down, what leads to premature wrinkle appearance.

8. Do not choose shadows matching your cloth color, if it is not white, black, brown or grey. If your cloth is pink, green, red, dark-blue and orange, do not choose matching shadows. This looks grossly and unnatural. Such combination works only for neutral colors.

9. Do not use blusher that is more than two tones darker your natural face color. Are you going performing in circus? Do not go too far with bright blusher and apply it in the form of circle. The main rule – apply blusher two fingers distance from nose wings towards cheek-bones.

10. Shade, shade and again shade. You should look natural. Nothing should be sharp or edgy. To shade shadows or blusher, use brushes.

Now few Do’s
Makeup should only go on a freshly washed and moisturized face.

Whatever you’re doing, you have to see what you’re doing. Have bright, even light in front of your bathroom mirror.

Blend. Blend. And did I mention…blend! You don’t want to see where color begins or ends. Whether it’s foundation, blush, or eye color: no hard, drawn lines. An exception to this would be eyeliner, but I prefer even that to be smudged.

Sexy Eyes – Just in 10 mins

Eyes are a a soul mirror, as they say. Eyes are defined as character traits by psychologists and eye doctors.  If you wish to learn about more about a person, just look into his eyes.  Men’s are usually attracted towards eyes of a woman and the first impression is what it takes to  initiate a relationship. Even your eyes show your confidence, and they are also a way to communicate or convey message. So, if you are looking to give you eyes a sexy and sensatious look, follow the tips given below and get yourself noticed.

Make-up tips

A woman can make eyes more effective and sight deeper and seductive through skillful make-up. So that you would look faultlessly during a day.

Apply concealer – Use concealer  to cover up under-eye circles or just the bluish discoloration just under your inner eye. Apply three dots of concealer to cover dark under-eye circles.  Start at the inner corner where skin tends to be darkest, then under the pupil and the third on the outer edge. Pat, never rub with your ring finger .

Apply eye base to your lid – Eye base is the secret to keeping your shadow in place for hours. Without properly priming your lid first, your eyeshadow will likely end up a greasy line in your crease.

Apply shadow – It’s great to use a three-toned shadow and build from lids to brow. Allowing them to blend into each other like a rainbow is gorgeous.

Start with a light color that almost matches your lid. Sweep the color across the lid and up to your eye brow bone. Follow with a medium color across your lid only. Build on this with a darker color in the crease. Blend the colors well.  Mally Roncal  – Makeup Expert

Follow with eyeliner – Dark eye-shadows work great as eyeliners. Wet a slanted brush, then dip in a dark eyeshadow. Line eyes as close to the upper lashes as possible from the inner corner to the outer corner. Follow with liner on bottom eyes, but only line from the middle of the eye out. Smudge the bottom line with a Q-tip or your finger. You don’t want a prominent line. For a smokey eye, use a brush to pat in a dark eyeshadow along the upper lid and below the lid. You don’t want a stark line, instead you want to blend it so it’s ‘smudge-y.’

Brighten your eyes with a highlighter – This step involves only the inside part of the eye. With a gold or pink highlighter (white is too bright), draw a v-shaped shape that follows the inner corner of your eye from top to bottom. Blend with your fingers. This will help make eyes ‘pop.’

Highlight your eye brow – Take the same highlighter and dab it on your browbone, concentrating on your mid-brow outward. Blend with your finger.

Curl lashes- An eyelash curler will make even long lashes look more gorgeous. For added effect, you can heat the curler under a blowdryer for a couple seconds. Test curler before applying to lashes because you could burn yourself.

Apply mascara – Place the wand of your mascara brush at the bottom of lashes and wiggle back and forth. Follow with another few sweeps of the wand. Apply to bottom lashes as well.

You sometimes feel helpless wit this answer, as everybody has some secrets. Here are some general principles which will help you out. So just try them and leave everybody gazing and feeling jealous form you.

- Keep a check on digestion.

Small intestines (on east medicine beliefs) are roots of our organism. If tree roots are strong and healthy then, the tree prospers, it is beautiful. And if roots are rotten, a tree withers, dries. The same is with our  intestines, if it is healthy, our organism prospers, and a person lives longer life. Healthy intestines depends on meal: fresh vegetables and fruits, pure water, less pastry, salads and porridges, and also camomile tea in the morning promotes skin beauty a lot.

- Enjoy a sound  sleep.

Incomplete sleep is the worst enemy of skin and hair beauty! Develop the habit of Early to bed Early to rise. Make shore you have a comfortable and cozy mattress and blanket which will help you go sound sleep. I have one acquaintance who values her beauty so much, that goes to bed at 9 o’clock in the evening. And she looks splendid at 36 years! Isn’t it  amazing!

- Develop the habit of walk – Fresh air is a friend of beauty
If you sit at office all day long, pass home on foot. Window should be constantly opened, and especially in winter. During week-end arrange long walks in open air. A person feels normal, if he receives about thirty cubic metres of fresh air per hour.

BATH -In our skin toxins and living organism keep on accumulated which ruins the beauty. Hence to keep your skin healthy and beautiful take bath daily, and keep your glow and youth preserved. Prepare a very salty solution in evening, impregnate a shaggy towel with this solution and squeeze it out a little. After you rub skin with a shaggy salty towel, and your body becomes red as lobster, you can consider that your skin is a live organism. Thus they advise using not soap, but corn flour, not harmful in hot space.

-Vitamins!

Dried fruits are good source of vitamins. So drink a compote from dried fruits, dried apricots and raisin them in oat flakes in the morning, and drink dogrose infusion regularly, it should be rather sour on taste, only then there are enough vitamins in it.

Some vitamins rich product : Several spoons of porridge, a tomato, an orange, a cup of tea and yoghurt. Here are some “wonderful products”: string bean and bilberry, broccoli and porridge, oranges, yellow pumpkin, soya, salmon, spinach, black and green tea, tomatoes, turkey, nuts and yoghurt. The diet involving the portions of above mentioned products will help you to forget old age and wrinkles.

-Internal spirit and state of mind!

The secret of youth preservation is in avoiding of ugly emotions. It is not less important, than all aforesaid! If you have not forgot how to joke and laugh, like in youth, if you are benevolent and envy to nobody, if you have a hobby, your old age will have a young beautiful face, and plastic operations will not be necessary for you!

And at last – “a youth elixir”. It is considered that this structure rejuvenates cells really powerfully, it is recommended to drink it since 30-year-old age. Mix and crush 200 grammes camomile, 100g immortelle, 100g John’s-wood and 100 grammes birch buds. 1 items of l. Draw 1 table spoon mixture in 0,5 l hot water (in a thermos), filter. Drink one glass of infusion with a spoon of honey in the evening before a dream and half an hour to meal in the morning.

-Drink within a month. A repeated course – in five years.

The sixth rule (small, but important). A woman’s neck and hands give out her age.

We often forget about our hands. We get used to their look and not always can seize an opportunity when wrinkles appear too obviously. Skin of hands suffers from temperature drops much stronger, than cheeks, covered with protective and foundation creams. We wash dishes and forget putting on gloves.

Our great-grandmothers wore thin gloves in spring and autumn knowingly- they protected skin of hands, prolonging its youth. Ideally you can start a season of gloves, as soon as temperature in the street goes down to +4 degrees. So a purchase of thin graceful spring gloves is not overindulgence, but banal protection.

DO’S

- Keep Yourself  Warm
This indirectly helps and keep away the bacterial and viral infections. Cold condition decrease your immune, increasing the chances of cold,flu and pneumonia.

You don’t feel as thirsty as in summer, so the water intake tend to decrease in winter, one tend to consume hot drinks like tea and coffee. But, caffeine also draws water from the system causing dehydration. Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water per day.

- Exercise Regularly
with shorter daylight time, we tend to wake up late in the winter and slow down. Our fitness routine is usually put on the back burner. Make an conscious effort to follow a daily exercise routine. An extra 20 mins of physical activity helps to improve circulation and keep those extra pounds at bay.

- Massage Your Hands And Feet
To prevent chiliblain ( small, itchy, blue swellings ) in extreme cold temperatures, as are prevalent in Northern part, massage your palms, fingers, toe and heels with warm vegetables oil.

- Get At Least Eight Hours Of  Sleep
Managing the recommended eight-hours of sleep is crucial as a lack of it lowers one’s immunity and energy level during winter. Avoid alcohol and nicotine for a good sleep.

- Take care of hands and feet
This is a must for everyone. Foot care is important for diabetics to avoid infections that can lead to gangrene.

- Keep a regular check on your blood sugar
As exercise tends to decrease in winter and infections are on the rise, this is a potential time for elderly diabetics to fall easy prey to obstinate infections that get exaggerated if one’s blood sugar is uncontrolled. A regular check of blood sugar is recommended for diabetics.

- Get checked for anemia
Low hemoglobin can predispose you to infections and other winter ailments. Improving hemoglobin adequately keeps you better poised to avoid and confront infections.

- Have plenty of vegetables and fruits
Winter is the season especially in humid cities for good seasonal vegetables and fruits. Feel free to binge on them as they improve immunity and keep the body in supply of its requirements of anti oxidants, vitamins and minerals.

DON’TS

- Don’t forget vitamin D
Those in very cold places are at risk of not getting vitamin D during winter, when the UV radiation from the sun’s rays is weak. A vitamin D supplement of 200 IU is recommended.

- Don’t forget to moisturize
That winter wind is damaging to our skin, so the best beauty secret is to moisturize as frequently as possible. Everything from your hair to your skin starts to feel scaly so stock up on thick luxurious moisturizers and use the chapstick! Moisturized wipes will be useful if you have a cold.

- Don’t get into the “eating only high calorie food” loop
When the environs are cold, many of us fall back on carb and fat heavy comfort food like pasta, thick creamy soups etc. However, this will not only hinder your weight loss goals but also make you lethargic and sleepy.

- Don’t overlook sunscreen
Summer is not the only time to worry about using sunscreen. Surprisingly, skin damage is a great concern even in a snowsuit. Wearing at least an SPF 15 when outdoors in the winter is recommended. The glare from the snow can be so harmful, so it’s good idea to wear goggles.

Perfect Day Wear Makeup Tips

Perfect makeup require a perfect finish in order to look legitimate. When selecting your make up, make sure you use proper lighting. For day wear, use natural light or a very white light. And for evening wear, a very slight blue light to apply by would be ideal. Never apply makeup by a yellow light. It will make you add too much make-up and the effect will not be good enough.

Tips are for day-wear makeup

1. Make up selection – Choose your foundation and compact powder to match your own skin tone. Never choose a shade more than one shade darker or lighter than your own skin tone.

2. Cleaning - Clean your face from any natural or added oils and creams – this will allow your makeup to stay even, and look natural.

3. Base - Apply a foundation first to all parts of your face, blending it over and down your throat. Make sure it is blended well over your skin.

4. Application – Apply the final compact powder with a very soft makeup brush. The brush allows a natural look. It also allows even application. Work the brush downwards. Never brush in an upward motion as this can cause packing on your skin that appears to look like lines.

5. Eyebrows – Natural eyebrows only need a slight brushing. If added color is needed, use the exact color of your own eyebrow. A soft eyebrow pencil is excellent for adding color that looks natural. If you use a hard lead pencil, it will color your skin, and not the eyebrow hairs. For added shape, use a brush and add color lightly.

6. Eye makeup – In the case of eye shadow, choose a color that will enhance your eye color. (If it is for evening-match your clothing) applying eye shadows is an art. Use at least three colors all from the same color group. Start with your eyelid. Apply the lightest color there, medium in eyelid crease the darker color up to meet the eyebrow. Also apply the lighter color to the edges of the darkest color at the edges away from the center. After you have applied all applications, use the tip of your finger and blend it all together slightly.

7. Eyeliner – Use a medium brown or black. Use a tube liquid. It applies smoother and more evenly. Apply it to the edge of your eyelid above your eyelashes. Use long strokes to apply and make sure it is very close to your eyelashes. This brings your eyelashes and your eyelid into one. (If evening-you can extend the line at the side as a fuller look). Day wear should stop even at the edge of your eye.

8. Eyelashes – Use the browns or blacks. Using mascara with a brush, apply the mascara in full long strokes working upwards. This also will help the eyelashes to curl up instead of straight or down. Allow it to dry for a few seconds and apply again. A third layer may be used. Then, using an eyelash comb, slightly comb your eyelashes to part the hairs individually. Use can also use an eyelash curler to add make your eyes attractive.

9. Blush – This is optional, but many women use it to enhance the cheekbone line. Use a light rose color or a color of your choice. Use a soft brush, working from the high part of your cheekbone, work the brush toward your ears. Work the color at least one inch from your nose bridge. Blend with the brush. Never make it to dark, just a slight blushing look is enough.

10. Lips (Lipsticks, glosses and liners) – Choose a colour that will blend well with your blush. Use a shade darker for the liner, fill in with the lipstick and cover with a nice gloss for that wet look. Lips are very easy to do. Never-make un-natural peaks, but to make lips more supple looking; you may apply the colour and liner slightly above your own natural lip line. If you have deep lines in your lips, add more colours then use a lip brush to smooth the lines. This will hide any unwanted lines.

How To Prevent and Remove Blackheads – Blackhead Removal

If you are someone who has an extremely oily skin, you are well aware of the painstaking task to remove blackheads or continuously trying to prevent blackheads forming.

Faced with dust and pollution, dirt forming a layer on your skin can clog your pores and form white heads. Negligence in your skin care routine on a daily basis or monthly facials can turn these while heads into blackheads which look quite prominent on the face and ugly.Removing such blackheads becomes mandatory to keep your skin look young, vibrant and fresh.

To keep your skin looking smooth and blackheads free, follow the steps mentioned below.

Cleanse Your Skin
Follow a good daily routine for your skin. Washing your face twice a day is of utmost important.
Wash your face before going out and use a good moisturizer with SPF to protect your skin. Follow the procedure of cleansing using a foaming cleanser, tone with a mild toner and use a good moisturizer cream before your sleep. Do not go to sleep without cleansing your face or it will result in blocked pores and hence blackheads. Added to this, exfoliate your skin twice a week to remove dead cells from accumulating on your face. Do not do this daily as it can make your skin extremely dry by stripping away the natural oils.

Remove Blackheads
If you have spotted a few blackheads already, it’s time to clean your pores. You can use a pair of tweezers or a blackhead remover to do the task. You can use a hot towel on the face or expose your face to hot water steam which will make the blackhead removal easier. Tweeze it by squeezing around the blackhead or apply pressure around it by using a blackhead remover. Use alcohol wipes or tee tree oil (melaleuca oil) wipes or wash your face with an antibacterial soap to close your pores and prevent it turning into a blister.

Keep your hair off your face
If you have oily skin, don’t add to it by oiling your hair and letting it be. If you must oil your hair, do so two hours before your head bath. Oily hair left long time can see the oil seeping down on to the face and shoulders and can cause ache and blackheads. Keep your hair away from your face by pinning it back or using a head band to keep your fringe or bangs away. Hair playing over your face causes blocked pores by adding more dirt from hair to face. If you can, we suggest you grow out the short hair framing your face to prevent blackheads.

Cleansing Masks
Using daily cleansing masks can prevent blackheads as it provides deep cleansing of the pores and removes dirt embedded inside. Also, applying cleansing daily removes excess oil from the skin which can hold on to dirt and dust and automatically keep skin blemish free.

How To Use Moisturizers To keep Wrinkles At Bay

Wrinkles can be every woman’s worry as she grows old. Do not try absurd methods or numerous products to remove wrinkles or stop them from coming. Botox and facelift’s and many other scientific methods are today’s favorites for getting a much tighter and younger looking skin but if you cannot take needles in your face and still want to prevent wrinkles, simply add a couple of good moisturizers to your skin care routine.

How to use moisturizers to keep wrinkles at bay? We’ll tell you.

Most women pushing 28 to 26 start experiencing dry skin and do not understanding that the trick is to keep your skin hydrated. For the very first step that anyone needs to follow is of cleansing, toning and moisturizing. A lot of women ignore this and do not understand the basics of skin care. You go out and face the sun, pollution and dust which settles on your skin and gives it a gritty, dry and tanned look or oily, ache prone and blackhead effected surface.

When using any moisturizers, it is not about buying the expensive one but which is for your skin type and what works best for you. Oily skin is always better off as its takes time to age. Most women who experience wrinkles at an early stage have dry skin by 28 and even more drier looking and feeling skin by 36 or more years of age. Use a moisturizer that has SPF as you do not want the sun doing your skin harm and also drink lots of water. A moisturizer will only hydrate and prevent it on the top but to make your skin glow from inside and prevent any wrinkles from forming, drink a lot of water every day.

When buying a moisturizer, tread the ingredients printed on the back. Look for either of these as they are very effective anti aging ingredients – Aloe, Beewax, Alpha Lipoic Acid, lanolin, Selenium. Separate your day and night moisturizer. While your day moisturizer is supposed to act in defense from the sun and pollution, your night one is supposed to repair and nourish your skin as you must have noticed it is always of heavier components. An unknown fact, women do not realize when they sleep the skin repairs itself.

Moisturizers penetrate your skin to the lowest cells and prevent wrinkles or repair present ones. They also further the growth of new cells which give your skin an even newer and young look. Some of the known products are Neutrogena’s healthy skin anti-wrinkle cream, Garnier’s anti wrinkle lift, Olay regenerist.

Make sure you consider your skin type/ profile while selecting products or else you will end up doing irreversible damage to your skin. Improvise your skin care regime earlier on to prevent wrinkles forming in your 30s and 40s.

Pros and Cons of Breast Augmentation Surgeries

Breast Augmentation or Breast Enhancement is a boon by medical science to a lot of women. There are a number of reasons why someone would go for breast implants or what is popularly known as a ‘boob job’. Women recovering from cancer and mastectomy go for reconstructive breast surgeries as it the final step of recovery.

Women who have size difference between the two breasts also contemplate the option as the want the perfect breasts. Apart from these two reasons, most of the time, women who go in for breast implants are those who are not happy with their breast size. It’s said that “God has created everyone the way they are” but before you go for any breast surgeries do your research about the pros and cons. I am listing the possible Pro’s and Con’s of breast augmentation but the final call is in your hands only.

Pros of Breast Augmentation Surgeries

As mentioned above, women dealing with mastectomy can go in for breast augmentation which is also referred as cosmetic surgery. Breast cancer can really be tough on women and can make them insecure about their appearance post chemotherapy. Reconstructing the shape can bring about certain resemblance to their earlier appearance.

If you are someone who is almost flat chested or are obsessed with bigger breasts and want them, guess what, you can have them. Medical science has improved so far than you can go from no-breasts to big buxom in hardly some time. Breast implants are of a number of kinds and you want to make sure you get the right ones meant for you.The difference lies in the implants i.e. saline or silicone and the method of insertion i.e. from the armpits, from side of the breast and from the belly button. Only the belly button insertion method leaves no scars and also takes lesser time to recover.

Think your breasts do not look perfect? Do you have a difference in the way both nipples look? With age some women will notice that their one breast droops lower than the other. Given the movies and the pedestal women are put on, you are supposed to be perfect and hence most women compare themselves to actresses or models. Well you could say this is unfair but thanks to breast enhancements, women can satisfy their own physical appearance with cosmetic surgery.

Cons of Breast Augmentation Surgeries

1. Scarring: Consider going in for a breast implants very carefully. Even the first meeting you have with the doctors will stretch long. They will probe you to know your motivation for going through the surgery. If you think you will have everybody admire you, that may happen but for yourself understand that you will always have the scars. If you ask us, for people to think you look great, you do not want to put with scars all your life.
2. Anesthesia: Most women do not have a problem with the local anesthesia, but if you happen to be sensitive and run a risk of getting allergic, consider before. Allergies to anesthesia can prove fatal and there have been cases in the States where women have died because of it.
3. Infection: This is the worst of all. It can so happen that after you get your breast implants, you can develop certain infection which will need immediate removal of the implants and can prove to be more painful a process in entirety. It will be quite a while before any doctor will again think about put your breast implants back in.
4. Rupture: Implants can often rupture as well. To any one reading this, we are sure it sounds life threatening. Well it is and is fatal in most cases. A ruptured breast implant needs immediate removal and that is exactly why it can prove fatal.
5. Loss of sensation: Think before you go in for any breast surgeries. Reading all cons actually shows that it is not really worth it and to state another risk – you can lose sensation in your breast or nipple area. Some women say it’s only during the recovery period that you don’t feel anything. But to consider the worst case scenario, some women also say that it results in loss of sensation permanently.

We leave the decision to you. Though the breasts are a very important part of the feminine form, it is mostly a mental block that you may have about being flat or less feminine. I would love to hear your opinion or experiences. Please leave me a comment and let me know.

How To Hide Under Eye Dark Circles In Few Steps

Dark under eye bags or dark under eye circles are every woman’s nightmare. Eyes being one of the main features of the face need special care. Dark circles are caused by either genetic problems or due to lack of sleep & eye problems.

You may think that dark circles are for women above a certain age but that’s just a myth. If you are a student who studies under the lamp late and don’t get enough sleep, you too will develop dark circles soon.

There are two ways you can conceal dark circles, either by makeup or by natural remedies.

Concealer forms an essential part of applying flawless makeup. Concealer come in different shades, depending on your skin tone and amount of coverage needed, buy a pink or yellow tinted concealer. Green shade concealer is for red spots or severe coverage and hence is not needed for under eye dark circles. Use a shade of concealer lighter than your skin tone. If you are dark complexioned, you can easily use mauve or tan-colored concealer.

When buying a concealer try it before buying against your complexion. Your concealer and foundation together can easily hide your dark circles. Buy a cream based concealer and use a sponge or brush to apply it. Cream concealer doesn’t need that much settling as it glides easily. Make sure it is not cakey. Apply concealer only where needed and then apply your foundation over. Use a sponge or even your fingers to do your makeup.

Some women might choose to go the other way by apply foundation early and then concealer as your may not need that much coverage. Concealer is made of a better composition than foundation to provide more coverage. In this case once the foundation is applied, see how much concealer covers you’re under eye dark circles. Settle your make up with translucent powder to avoid it looking shiny in places and voilà you’re done.

A helpful tip for your eye makeup to look even better without dark circles is that once you apply your eye shadow and liner, apply a hint of added concealer to your dark circles if needed.

If you are someone looking for a permanent solution, natural remedies will be of use to you.

Drinking the right amount of water helps fade dark circles. Also eating the right kind of diet is necessary. If you are stressed most of the time and have been compromising on your diet it’s about time you added the necessary vitamins to your diet. Vitamin C and E include anti oxidants that are essential for radiant skin.

You will notice that were you to visit a dermatologist, you will be given additional multivitamin supplements to take immediately. Also, sleep is critical for beautiful eyes. Not only will you end up with dark circles but also puffy eyes if you do not catch 8 hours of sleep every day.

Apart from these, if you still want a permanent solution and fast, cosmetic surgery is the last option. I would love to hear your opinion on how to hide under eye dark circles. Please leave me a comment and let me know.
