Tips for Applying Eye shadow

Apply eye shadow primer from lashes to brows. It would help your eyeshadow last longer.

Most eyes look better when the emphasis is on the outer corner of the eye.

Applying foundation on the eyelids provides a good canvas to spread the eye shadow.

For round-shaped eyes keep the deepest tones toward the center of the eye blending upward from lid to crease.

Using a fine, blunt-ended brush, gently apply the base colour to the entire lid from the inside to the outside corner and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease.

A light eye shadow over the entire eyelid followed by a medium color on the inner half of the eyelid can create a pleasing effect.

Line upper and lower lashes with eyeliner pencil.

Don’t match your shadow with your eyes or your clothes so that attention remains with your eyes.

Neutral shades like browns and beiges look natural while brighter shades like blue and green look dramatic and artificial.

To make them look wider apart, keep the inside corners of the eyes lighter than the outer edges.

Not all women are blessed with perfect skin tone and attractive features but with some effective face make up tips most can reach closer to what they desire to become. Face make up is the best way to highlight your attractive features and cover up your facial flaws.

One needs to be familiar with the make up techniques to bring out the best in their personality. There are several brand cosmetics available in the market that when used skillfully can create wonders. Known to be the girl`s best friend, these cosmetics should be carefully selected and surely discarded on expiry. And if you want to learn the basic face make up techniques, then here are some tips that will help you get the right face make up:

Base or foundation:

Start with applying appropriate base and moisturizer on your face. Also cover ears, neck and nape portions that are visible. Use a tissue paper to wipe off the excess moisture, if any. Apply foundation dots across your face and blend it well so as to cover your blemishes and other facial flaws. Opt for oil-free products that contain salicyclic acid or tea tree oil. Now take some ice cubes and quickly rub them on your skin. This will close all the pores on your face. Now dab with a tissue and apply compact powder. Make sure to select a range that matches with your complexion and hence gels well with your skin tone.

Eyes:

Select eye shadow according to your dress and day time. For evening, opt for darker shades and for bright daylight occasion go for lighter color eye shadows. You can also try some golden or silver glitter, if you are going for some evening party bash but better avoid it if you are attending something more formal.

Now carefully apply eyeliner to define your eye shape. Use kohl along your eye rims and then apply mascara on your eyelashes. It is important to note that big eyes do not require much enhancement and hence eye makeup should be kept minimal but for smaller eyes you should go for thick eye lining and also darker kohl so that the eyes look prominent.

Lips:

Apply pencil lip liner to outline your lips. It will ensure that your lipstick or gloss does not smear. Now with a lip brush apply lip color on your lips. Go for color shades that will suit your skin tone. For lasting effect, you can apply some oil-free foundation on your lips before applying lipstick. After you fill in your lip with the lip color, apply some lip gloss. This will add sparkle to your lip make up. However, you can avoid gloss if you prefer a mat look for the occasion.

Blush on:

Now accentuate your features with blush on. Roll on the brush on the apt shade and gently apply it on the side of your cheeks. Try to keep it natural and hence avoid over use of blush on. Select right color shades that will suit your complexion. For instance, while pink and beige blushes will look good on fair skin, plum and bronze shades will complement darker skin tone and for olive skin tone copper, almond and warm brown shades will be the best.

Touch up:

Always remember to carry a lipstick, a lip gloss, compact powder, some tissues and a small mirror with you. You can give a quick touch up to your face makeup in case it starts wearing off. Lastly but most importantly carry yourself confidently.

Important tips:

Use good quality cosmetics that suit your skin type and skin tone, and discard expired cosmetics because their continuous use can lead to infections. For removing the make up use oil-free makeup remover that does not clog the pores.

If you carefully follow the above mentioned tips, you are sure to learn about the right make up for your face. Moreover, with time and practice you will also discover other important details that will help you to customize the face make up procedures to suit your facial skin and features.

Tips to select a Designer Prom Dress

While opting for a designer prom dress, one has to be pretty confident that it will show her off at her best. In fact, whether buying a cheap department store gown or a beautiful designer prom dress, a girl can find it difficult to get one that suits her. Buying a formal gown normally leaves a girl at a loss even if she is an expert of buying jeans and T-shirts. It’s because most girls will be trying it for the first time.

One has to be very cautious while going for a designer prom as it is too expensive. A slight mistake can cost her a lot. An expensive designer prom is not a guarantee of beautiful looks. It has to be a perfect choice considering the personality of an individual. Instead, even a normal and cheap department store gown may look better, if properly chosen. If one follows some guidelines, she won’t have any problem in buying a perfect designer prom that would seem to be made for her.

While choosing a prom dress, the first thing that has to be considered is the size. If it doesn’t fit you, it’s futile for you no matter how nice it is. Therefore get your measurements right. You will have to remember that prom dresses run at least one size smaller. So pick dresses a size larger. Then only you will get a perfect fit.

Point to be noted that different styles of dresses complement different body shapes. Therefore one shouldn’t be predetermined about a particular style of dress. It’s necessary to keep an open mind and try out different styles to find the one that flatters one’s figure the best. It has been noticed that some girls often find themselves look fabulous in a dress which had been rejected by them previously.

A dress often looks better when worn than on a hanger. Hence, there is a chance of getting deprived of a well suited dress, if one rejects it instantly only because it doesn’t look good enough on a hanger. Instead, she should try the dress on. It may bring a change to her decision when contrary to her beliefs, she finds her gorgeous enough in the mirror.

As they say, eat according to your choice and wear according to the choice of your well wishers. It’s always preferable to seek the opinions of your kith and kin as they have been observing you since quite a long time and know what looks better on you. But of course, you are the one to take the final decision.

It’s always advisable to seek the help of the sales persons. They are the people having a meticulous knowledge about the dresses and are also familiar with the current trend. So it’s good to have a chat with them about your choice. They will definitely come out to assist you as they better know the confusion prevailing around the designer prom dresses.

Accessories should be decided according to the dress and not vice versa. Hence one should give a backseat to the selection of accessories till the designer prom dress is finalized. Afterwards, she is free to accessorize her dress keeping its color and also structure in view.

It will be a wise decision to buy the dress one or two months earlier. It gives enough time to make any alteration if required.

Becoming the perfect personification of beauty is almost… nearly… not, truly it’s impossible, and even movie stars know that. The key to really looking gorgeous is not to become perfect, but rather to highlight your already-there assets. I mean, what would this world be like if J-Lo didn’t stand up for her impressive back side? What about Angelina Jolie’s famous plump lips and Tyra Banks’ large doe-eyes – can we really live without those? Recently, even the celebs themselves are taking up a more positive stance in regards to beauty. Actresses like Jennifer Love Hewitt and Keira Knightley have spoken up for maintaining their natural beauty despite what Hollywood may consider as flaws to the perfect image.

Saying thus, here are the 3 top beauty tips on how to achieve that Hollywood-esque glamour, without drastically changing your look.

1. Most beauty tips start from within, and so will this one. But no, we are not talking about personalities just yet. We mean that you have to take careful consideration of the food you put inside your system. We are not asking you to ditch food entirely so that you could fit into the near impossible size “0.” After all, Drew Barrymore and America Ferrera are 2 actresses who look G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S even though they are not in that category.

Rather, we want you to look at food as an ally to achieving beauty.  For example, completely eliminating fats in your diet will only make your hair, nails and skin look sallow, dull and brittle.

One of the best skin care tips we can give you then is to go on an appropriate diet. And when we say appropriate diet, we mean a diet that is approved by doctors, dieticians and / or nutritionists. Not all diets are applicable to all body types, you know. An appropriate diet can help you lose or gain pounds (whatever your body needs,) and at the same time, give you that lustrous glow that only comes from being healthy from within.

2. If you want to know some healthy hair secrets, you could also ask the health professional what natural ingredients you could use to enhance you hair type. Eggs and olive oil are great as moisturizers, but there are other botanicals you could use.

As for hair styles and hair colors, one of the biggest mistakes you could do is to do your own hair. It may sound strange, but if you want to capture that Hollywood-esque glam, let the pros handle it. Ask your hairdresser what hair style will accentuate parts of your face that you like. If you have those really gorgeous eyes, (brilliant irises, or a large wide-awake pair,) hiding them underneath loads of bangs will diminish your beauty.

Jennifer Aniston for example, accentuates her sleek, chiseled jaws and slanted cheekbones with her definitive layered locks with the sun-kissed highlights. On the other hand, drastic changes can also be beneficial. Pop sensation Rihanna, continues to make waves with her suddenly short do.

3. As far as make up tips are concerned, the mantra now is light and glowing. Gone are the days when dramatic heavy-lidded eyes and overly rouged cheeks are considered a la mode. If you want make-up that can hide flaws (like dark rings around the eyes,) you could try some base concealers, and then go for mineral-based make-up instead like foundations and blushes.

This simple combo will not only hide undesirable spots, but it can give you that flawless, vibrant look. Just remember to apply the same to your neck area to complete the look.

Summer here we are. It’s time to have tank-top and shorts but how about your fact? The makeup in summer should be light and is mostly aimed at protecting the skin from exposure to sun rays. Here are some tips to keep your skin healthy, make your makeup last longer and keep you looking fresh.

Let your skin breathe and use sheer makeup that serve more than one purposes. It is important to keep the humidity locked in as sweating dries skin out. So, lock away your foundation for the season and use a light moisturizer with sun block instead. Lightly dust translucent powder all over your face after you have applied your makeup, especially over your eyes. Shimmer. Bold, bright and sparkly colors reign supreme this season. For daytime drama, sheer yet shimmery eye shadows and lip colors in bronze, gold and rose are sexy and office-suitable. For night, metallic shadows from silver and gold to midnight black, lipstick in glittery red and frosty fuchsia and super-wet gloss. Day or night, finish your look with a touch of bronzing powder across your cheeks. If you prefer to be a natural beauty, body shimmer lotion on bare skin leaves you looking sun-kissed and irresistible. In case, you haven’t taken the precaution already and the damage is already done, use a foundation with the shade of your tanned skin to cover the area under your eyes and blend it well with the rest of the face. Then use nude or light brown eye shadow to give them a natural look. Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner to keep from getting black smudges around your eyes.

As we approach that time of year again, many young shoppers begin to look for just the perfect dress to make prom night perfect. It is important to make sure what you choose is going to set your dress off to the best advantage. Your hair do should be one that makes you look sexy but in a subtle way. You do not want to choose something that is wild and draws attention to your hair rather than to you. The choices you make for your special night should be ones that will make you look your very best and that blends in well with the rest of your features.

You want to make sure that everything you choose is going to go well with your dress. In most cases you will choose your dress and shoes first, and you want to choose a dress that is going to go well with your complexion. If you have fair skin, you don’t want to choose a dark color that is going to draw attention to your features rather than enhancing them. Darker colors are fine for those who have olive skin or darker but not for those with fair to medium skin. It’s important to choose a dress that will not make your skin look pale. Pastels are the best colors for those who have a fair complexion while those with a dark complexion can choose darker colors with both dress, nail and lip colors.

You do not want to make the mistake of overdoing your make up just because it is your prom. There is no need to choose an eye shadow that is the exact color of your dress, especially if your dress happens to be a bright color. Subtle and earth tones always look better no matter what time of the day it may be. You always look sexier if you wear just enough make up to enhance your features rather than change them. You do not want to draw attention to your make up but to your face and the rest of your features.

Your hairstyle needs to be one that fits in with the shape of your face. You don’t want something that is going to uncover flaws or make a round face appear rounder or a chubby face look like you are overweight. Whether you have long or short hair you want to make sure you choose a style that will make you look subtle and sexy rather than one that makes it look as if you just jumped out of the shower and put a hairstyle together without any thought. Your prom is a special time and you want to take time to look your best.
