Makeup Tips for Redheads



Having red colored hair won’t make our choice easier. Specially if it is the natural hair color, which means a bright skin tone and perhaps some freckles. But that doesn’t mean there’s no chance for redheads. You just need to know which colors and makeups work for you and which won’t. Don’t forget that red hair provides a fairy tale look, specially if you have blue or green eyes. Just fallow these few tips and choose from the various perfect makeups for redheads.

Flawless Skin

Usually redheads have pale skin, so try to use the foundation and powder that matches the skin tone. Of course, if you want to hide your freckles, you’ll need a product that perfectly covers them. Make sure it works before you buy it and try it out.

Of course, you don’t HAVE to fide them. Freckles can look youthful and fresh, so if you don’t really have problems with them, embrace the beauty of nature. They are quite in trend lately.

Find the one that’s best for your skin type and finish it with a translucent powder for a matte finish. Hide your flaws and don’t forget to protect your skin from the sun damages. Use sunscreens for the best protection of your skin. You need to pay more attention to this than any other skin type. To make sure you have the necessary protection, use a moisturizer that contains SPF.

Basic Colors in Redhead Makeup

For the best effect, choose from the brown or green, earthy shades of eye shadows. It will emphasize your eyes and make the red hair look glamorous. Also, a plum, golden and reddish colors will make a hot look for the formal occasions.

The mascara should be brown also, because the black makes the contrast to strong, so that it will make the skin look even more pale.

As for the eyeliner, use a brown, gray, or purple eyeliner and avoid black ones. Everything is about having a soft look, without to much contrast that makes the face look overdone.

Lips and Cheeks

For your lips, try the nude look, a tinted lip balm or a lip gloss. Keep it natural, so that you’ll have a fresh look. Having red hair is already a sophisticated part of your look, so don’t try to make it to complex. For a formal occasion you can opt for darker shaded lips, but than leave the eye makeup more simple. It will add drama to the entire makeup.

And for the final touch, use a peachy shaded blush or coral ones, to keep the look fresh and natural.

Red hair has a unique elegance and glamor which doesn’t need to much makeup to emphasize the look. They are considered the most charming and attractive women. Have a look at the celebrities makeup and get inspired. Many of them opt for the red hair trend and create gorgeous makeup to match with it: Ashley Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Marcia Cross, and many others.

A Natural Skin Care Thanaka (thanakha), Traditional Make Up and Eco Friendly Solution of Chemicals

In modern day Myanmar, people still use the traditional cosmetic known as Thanaka, as a daily cosmetic and skin conditioner. Thanaka is made from the branches of the sandalwood tree, (linoria acidissimia) When ground, the bark of the Thanaka tree, it is claimed, acts as an astringent, sunscreen and antiseptic.

Thanaka: The Burmese Beauty Secret.

In Myanmar, Carla Sommers discovers the beauty secrets of the Burmese and finds that beauty is not only skin deep at times, but that one prized beauty product comes not from the factory, but the forest….

Every culture and society had its own notions of beauty. From the pale faces of the Japanese geishas to the tattooed features of the Maoris. To enhance our perception of beauty there are many herbal and man-made preparations that, over the centuries have become de rigeur, from Egyptian kohl eyeliner, to scented hair oils and nowadays, makeup.

I n modern day Myanmar, people still use the traditional cosmetic known as Thanaka, as a daily cosmetic and skin conditioner. Thanaka is made from the branches of the sandalwood tree, (linoria acidissimia) When ground, the bark of the Thanaka tree, it is claimed, acts as an astringent, sunscreen and antiseptic.

It is a common sight on the streets of most towns and cities to see people with swipes of powdery yellow paint on their cheeks, noses or arms. The yellow comes from the juice of the ground bark. There is nothing so unusual about using bark preparations for beauty purposes in Myanmar – hair is made extra glossy by boiling an extract from the tayaw shrub and even elephants get a body scrub with sticks of the aptly-named Soap tree!

In 1904, a French traveller to Rangoon (nowadays called Yangon) described how

“All about (the) small buildings and on the steps of the intensely decorated pavilions…are… sellers of …aromatic barks”.

It is applied in strict routine; first to the ears, then to the throat, the face, and lastly the rest of the body.

Women sometimes mix it with cream, then take a coarse toothbrush and stroke lines through it, while young men may dab it on a blemish, here and there, sometimes giving the impression of a yellow Dalmatian!

The pale dusty powder can range from palest primrose to deep ochre. Children and babies seem to be daubed in it, sometimes with circles painted on their cheeks and stripes along their noses! Even in the cinema posters the local movie stars are portrayed wearing their beloved Thanaka!

Women may use a leaf template to make an elegant stencil on their cheeks, or some carefully paint a square, however most folk just smear it over their faces or bodies, and at night they appear quite ghostly, especially if their lips are painted with lipstick.

Thanaka is a prized wood, in 1958 The Forest Act (a product of the former British colonial government) added Thanaka trees to its list of protected trees such as teak, stating:

“no person shall collect or remove for trade purposes…Thanaka wood and bark”.

The cosmetic appears in many forms; in its raw – and highly prized – state it will be sold in markets in small 10- 18cm long branches and logs. These are ground vertically, round and round, on a special flat circular whetstone with a few drops of water, producing a milky yellow liquid that is then immediately applied to the skin. While wet it is virtually translucent but in an hour, it dries to a rich yellow crust.

Dried tablets of Thanaka in varying sizes are also available from street peddlers, who also sell it in the pre-fabricated form of a strongly fragrant soft paste, like a putty, though many point out that this is the ‘poor man’s’ Thanaka. The most prized Thanaka comes from the region around Mandalay, some say towns like Saigaing on the banks of the Irrawaddy, produces the best logs, others claim Shwepo Thanaka is the best.

Whichever Thanaka you choose, the liquid works fast at tightening the skin and covering blemishes. In hot, arid climates like that of Pagan, dry European skins may find it too astringent, but as an impromptu herbal sun screen it is invaluable.

Even if you do not buy a stick to take home, the sight and smells of the unique yellow-painted faces of the Burmese people are an unforgettable part of the memories of Myanmar, as are the smiles of this great nation of gentlefolk.

 You may either apply homemade or commercial scrub that will remove all dead cells from your skin.

 While buying a pore minimizer consider your skin type and current skin problem to choose the right remedy.

When Men Date Multiple Girls

make up tips for girls
Men enjoy risks, according to psychologists thus dating multiple girls gives them an intense feeling, at the same time men consider it as an approach to date efficiently. Yes, it puts men in a lot of risks, but that’s how they want it.

Studies in a certain university show that forty five percent of men at one time had been in dating multiple girls and was in a relationship wherein they and their dating partners is free to date other people.

On the other hand, almost all girls are not comfortable with their steady dates seeing other girls. A fact is, girls are jealous individuals and infidelity is never accepted.

According to psychologists, a relationship helps one to understand and discover one’s self more deeply and learn how to interact more effectively with others; being in several relationships enables one to learn more.

Dating multiple girls can without a doubt give rise to uncomfortable and risky situations and can be a great strain. That is why one should think twice before doing it, or else, be totally prepared of whatever consequences that will result from your actions.

One reason why men date multiple girls is that to them, there is no “Miss Perfect”. It is by dating multiple girls that men can delight in each unique individuality that every girl brings. To some men, this is an excellent approach wherein one can discover their likes and dislikes from girls and relationships.

You get to know each person well and then you get to choose!

Dating multiple girls can be really worth it once men are truly sure about the girls that they want to spend some time dating and importantly, if the girl that they are dating agrees that their dating is not mutually limited to each other. Simply put, being honest can save one from a lot of stress when dating multiple girls.

The man should set things clear from the very start by letting the girl know that they should not be entirely committed to each other and that he still wants to date other girls; this sets the record straight and keeps both of you from trouble.

However men has to keep in mind that this kind of arrangement has to work both ways; the girl that you are dating, is free to date other men as well. Then if are uncomfortable with this, or even insecure about the situation, then you should only commit to date only one girl.

Having a commitment with a girl one has everything that there is to gain. However, when you are unsure, never expect the girl to understand you.

Keep in mind that you should only date multiple girls for the reason that you simply must and never do it for the reason that this can be an exciting game to play or to boost your ego. The emotions and consequences are more than enough to exercise so much caution when dating multiple girls is concerned.

On the other hand, should you decide on being a player, there is one simple and considerate thing to do and that is setting your own rules and making it known to each girl that you are dating right from the start. If she accepts this, then good for you. If not, then find another one. Simple. You don’t have to be a snake and lie and worst, play on the girls emotions.

When you are not yet ready for a commitment or still in the process of finding the right girl for you, then casual dating of multiple girls is never wrong. As a matter of fact, it can be an intelligent decision. You are able to know a lot of girls, learn their behaviors and know if they are compatible with you and your life style. Just be honest and tell them exactly what you feel and what you want, so that there will be no need for you to sneak and no hearts will be broken.

Along the way, you might find the right girl that will stand out from among the rest. Then when you are ready, it is better to go ahead and spend some time with her exclusively. You don not want to loose her do you?

Proper skin care is very important in achieving a beautiful makeup look. Start by cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your skin. This allows a nice palette with which you can then apply makeup. You´ll feel better about yourself too. It´s all about personal hygiene.

Most women are unsure what type of skin they are. How can you tell? First, ask yourself if you have any oiliness, dryness, or signs of aging. If you are oily all over, you are an oily skin. If you are oily in the T zone and dry on the cheeks, you are probably a combination skin. If you are moderately to extremely dry on the cheeks you are a dry skin. If you have signs of aging, more than likely you have a dry skin.

Once or twice a week you should incorparate a dedicated exfoliator into your regime. These work by sloughing off the top layer of (mainly dead) skin cells and encourage cell renewal. This will brighten up the complexion considerably making it feel very smooth.

Astringent : A clear liquid that lifts off that last layer of dirt from the skin, tightens the pores and neutralizes excess oil; to be used after cleansing, before applying the moisturizer. It usually contains alcohol which helps clean the skin and inhibits the growth of bacteria. It can also be used throughout the day to counteract any buildup of oil on the skin. A toner, used for the same purpose, does not contain alcohol. You can use either.

Toning is essential for removing the dirt, make-up and oil that cleansers fail to remove. Some people take this step as optional. But people with oily skin and combination skin can greatly benefit from toning. Because it acts as an extra step to eliminate oil, it also lessens the chances for pore blockage leading to acne.

Tips for skin toning

Potato is a effective skin toner especially for dry skin. Rub a piece of potato alll over the face and then wash well with cold water.

A piece of cotton should be used with astringent lotions.

Take Two tablespoons of lemon juice and mix with 1 tablespoon glycerine and three tablespoons of rose water. Rub this juice on the dry skin.
