MAKE UP TIPS FOR YOU

Take henna powder, around 4-5 tbsp if you want to apply it only around the area which has gray hair and more if you want to apply to your entire scalp. Make a thin paste of henna powder by adding juice of lemon, a tbsp of curd, a tsp of coffee powder (optional), the water of tea leaves and amla mixture which you prepared earlier. Add ½ tsp of mustard oil in this mixture to avoid dryness. Leave this mixture in an iron vessel for about 2 hours. During winter season you add a finely grounded paste of 2 cloves to elude cold. Apply the mixture on the hair carefully, cover gray hair completely. Leave this on for about 3-4 hours. (Some prefer to keep it overnight.) Then rinse off with water.

Mix coffee powder in the water and make a paste of henna with the water. Beat the egg yolk and mix this into henna. Also add brandy to it. Apply the paste and leave it on for 3-4 hours before washing it with lukewarm water.

If your goal is to cover grey hairs, try making a mixture of rosemary and sage. Mix the ingredients in water and allow them to simmer for about a half hour. Once it has simmered, remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to steep for a few hours. Apply to the hair and let it dry completely. Then wash and rinse your hair with your normal shampoo. When it has dried, you will see the results. If you want the hair darker, make another mixture and repeat the process.

Take 3 parts of litharge and 2 of quicklime, mix thoroughly; keep in a well stopped bottle. When used mix with water or milk, apply to the hair, and envelope in an oil-skin cap fur 5 or 6 hours.

The only things I can think of are peroxide and bleach for blonde, but both are not so good for your hair. Beet juice tends to stain your hands, but it would probably make your hair purple and come out the next time you wash it.

Dishwashing soap can effectively remove hair dye stains, especially when mixed with either baking soda or lemon juice. Simply rub over the area until the stains fade. If you want to be a red head, consider using kool aid for your homemade hair dye. This gives a very vibrant shade of red, depending on how it is done. Mix the powder with a little water and apply to the hair. Allow the mixture to sit on the hair. The timing will depend on how bright you want the color. You can reapply this mixture if you want the red to be a darker shade.

Milk Mask is one if the easiest and cheapest mask. Moist some cotton wool with milk and rub it on the face. Avocado is a naturally affluent moisturizer. Mush the meat of the avocado into a creamy texture. Massage into the face and neck. Leave on for 15 minutes and gently wash off. The best face mask made included fresh pineapple, organic oats and acacia honey. Take 3 tablespoons of oats and blend in mix till a fine powder. Add in a tablespoon of honey and three big slices of pineapple sheared into small pieces. Blend until a fine paste. Apply with a mask brush and retire for fifteen minutes – it may cause blemishes to tingle slightly but this is okay. Rinse with warm water.

Mascara is perhaps the most important but difficult type of makeup to use. Mascara is extremely useful because there are not many other products that can produce as stunning an effect as this type of makeup.

The time and effort needed to achieve this look is another matter altogether. Applying mascara perfectly can be a tricky process, but with the right mascara brush you will be on track to achieving the look you want.

Many people think that choosing the right mascara (one that will produce beautiful, thick, long, and well-separated lashes) is all about choosing the right brand, but this is not necessarily true. The mascara brush is at least as important as the brand of makeup. The mascara brush is so important that rather than patenting their mascara formulations, many top cosmetic companies actually patent their brushes, instead.

Another aspect of mascara to keep in mind is that for the most part, mascara formulas do not vary much from brand to brand, even when you compare cheaper mascaras with more expensive types. Unless you have particular mascara needs, such as sensitive eyes that require you to use a special hypoallergenic formulation, there is no need to spend large amounts of money on those expensive brands and varieties.

What type of brush do you need?

When you apply your mascara, the type of brush you use, the length of the bristles and the space between the bristles are a few important factors that determine how your lashes will look when you are done.

The shape of the brush is important too. You get a different effect with a curved mascara brush than you do with a straight one. So what type of brush do you need when you are hoping to recreate a particular effect?

To achieve the thick lashed-look your ideal brush has bristles that are fairly close together. If you have sparse-looking lashes and want to thicken them up, this brush is for you.

For longer lashes choose a brush with longer bristles. The extra length will help you extend the tips of your lashes, for a luscious, long-lash look.

To reduce lash clumping your mascara brush should have bristles that are spaced quite widely-apart. Note that this is the exact opposite of the type of brush that thickens your lashes.

For even coverage across your entire lash line, go for a curved mascara brush. These help you achieve more even coverage because they can coat more of your lashes at the same time.

To help you cover all your lashes including those hard-to-reach lashes at the corner of your eyes, choose a straight brush.

There are so many different brush types these days, it seems like it is difficult to achieve lashes that have it all. What does this mean exactly? The eyelash look which is generally the most sought after are eyelashes that are long, thick, well-separated with even coverage across the entire lash line. Sounds impossible, if you need five different brushes to achieve it!

These days you can buy replacement brushes at your local beauty store, so if your favorite mascara formula comes with a brush that does not suit you, it is not too difficult to locate a replacement brush that will help you achieve the look you want.

Another important point is that you really do not need to have all your bases covered when it comes to mascara brushes. It’s all about personal preferences. You have the ability to choose from a wide range of different brushes, so there is no reason why you couldn’t buy a small stock of several different brush types, and then use whichever type will help you achieve the look you want for any particular purpose.

If it is more important to you to thicken your lashes, for example, use a brush with close bristles, and pay special attention to the application process to reduce the possibility of clumping. If you prefer to use a clump-reducing brush, apply two or three coats of mascara to help thicken your lashes.

What else should you look for when shopping for mascara?

The brush is perhaps the most important factor to consider when choosing mascara, but it’s not the only thing. Here are some quick tips to think about the next time you’re buying mascara.

If your lashes are brittle and prone to shedding, or you have sensitive eyes, try a hypoallergenic mascara formulation, or one which contains lash conditioners to help your lashes stay healthy. Try lengthening mascara if your lashes are thick and short, or thickening mascara if your lashes are sparse. Waterproof mascara is a must if you’re attending a potentially emotional event such as a wedding, or if you’re planning to swim. Try the Earth & Water Mascara Duo from E.L.F. – this fantastically handy mascara set includes both regular and waterproof mascara in the same tube.

Bridal Makeup

A wedding is a once in a lifetime event. Wedding Day is the most important day in the life of a woman and every young girl desire to look at her best on this blessed day in her life. You will be photographed more on this day than any other day in your life. Your photographs and possibly the video will be viewed and treasured for many years and generations of your family. You’ll be the center of attention–Guaranteed

Make-up starts with great skin. So to look great on the wedding day it is important to take care of certain things before the wedding ceremony. Brides must look fabulous but also natural for the most important day in their lives but remain true to themselves; otherwise they will look like a stranger in their own wedding photos… So true and something you must take in mind if you are preparing your own wedding with cherished attention in each and every detail, but you have forgotten how important emphasizing the care of your skin and the right makeup for your face can be.

Bridal Makeup Tips

Bright and neon colors must be avoided… they simply scream out of photos, but do not go to the opposite side. The bright day of your wedding it is not proper to use gray. All the effort put in to making your skin look radiant will go to the trashcan because gray makes skin look ashy.

Drink around 8 to 10 glasses of water everyday. If you can drink more as it will keep you hydrated and flush out the toxins from the body. And it is very important to drink water to have a glowing skin.

Avoid food or any substances that could give you oily skin, swelling and irritation. Try to avoid spicy, deep fried and junk food. It is better to avoid red meat, alcohol, and caffeine.

A hair stylist will be able to look at your face shape and go through styles to suit you. In general rounder faces should choose styles with their hair up high, heart-shaped faces will look less angular with a hairdo that creates width at the chin, and for brides with long faces styles that add width and volume to the sides of their faces.

Use heavy-pigmented cream foundation and layer it with powder foundation to make the skin look smoother.

Choose lip liner that blends easily with lipstick for that soft glossy look that looks good in photographs too.

Thin and small lips look more sensuous with light lip colors while fuller lips can use deep shades.

Makeup can change the shape of your face! Well, not really, but it can surely create an illusion. If you have a round face, a darker shade of foundation should be applied on the sides to make your face look slimmer. Also if you have small eyes, opt for the smoky eye effect to make you eyes look bigger.

Use sheer color for covering the skin in red color and then use moisturizer in olive green or yellowish green for neutralizing the skin.

Angelica asked:

have brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin, what make up looks would go well with my description? and any tips for cute hairstyles?

Spring is definitely the season of renewal and the time to revitalize your skin, your make up and refresh your regimen,” says Ms. Harrington. “Glowing, gorgeous and glamorous skin is the essence of a fresh look and make-up will only enhance it.”

The arrival of spring brings more hours of sunlight and the glow of the new season. Barbara Harrington, Independent Distributor with SeneGence International® SenseCosmetics, has some special skin and make up tips to get you out of winter’s gloom and into radiant, look for spring.

Here are some make-up tips for obtaining the glow of the Spring Season:

Tip 1: Make sure you moisturize: Even though the gloomy, dull winter months have passed, it is still important to moisturize in all seasons, even in spring, to balance pH and promote cellular renewal. “Many people think that it is vital to hydrate your skin only in the winter months, but it is essential to moisturize so that you nourish your skin and maintain its health all year long,” says Ms. Harrington.

Tip 2: Lighten up with lighter colors: Think about moving up a shade in shadow and blush hues for a clean spring look. “Dark colors can really weigh your face down during summer months,” says Ms. Harrington. “Right now warm, neutral colors are in….but….. Pink is the hot color of the season. Look for warming things up with gold tones, keeping with the season with anything pink, and in addition, plum and turquoise are in style for this season’s fresh look”. SeneGence® has an entire line of long-lasting, smudge-proof eye and blush products that provide a healthy spring glow, while nourishing your skin.

Tip 3: Your skin doesn’t stop at your neck: Remember to exfoliate and moisturize consistently to leave your entire body smooth and ready for the elements. “With bathing suit season almost here, it’s important to make sure that you exfoliate and moisturize to keep your skin radiant and smooth,” says Ms. Harrington. SeneGence’s® SeneDerm® Moisturizing Body Cream with SenePlex® and Shea Butter helps make your skin healthy, radiant and hydrated. “It lasts all day with just one application while drawing moisture to the skin,” says Ms. Harrington.

Tip 4: Glow with a year-round tan: Use a bronzer or self-tanner for a sun-kissed glow without the harsh, damaging effects of the sun. According to Ms. Harrington, SeneGence’s® Shea Butter Body Bronzer gives your skin a glow for the spring without having to battle the sun’s damaging UV rays. It’s long-lasting and anti-aging patented formula sets it a part from other self tanners on the market. “Using a bronzer or self-tanner is a safe and healthy way to liven up your skin and create a natural-looking, luminescent glow,” said Ms. Harrington.

Women want to look their best at all times. As an epitome of beauty, they persistently try to look young and beautiful always and makeup helps them achieving this to a great extent. Famous Roman Dramatist Plautus wrote, `A woman without makeup is like food without salt`. Makeup has become a necessity for every woman today. It`s a misconception to think that makeup or precisely face make-up makes one look beautiful.

Face make-up is a way to highlight the features we love and want to draw attention and also to cover the not so good features. It`s a fact that no woman is satisfied what she has been blessed with. Face make-up takes cares of many of the facial flaws including the not so higher cheekbones, less prominent jaws and less evenly toned skin.

Though we can`t change our skin we have been born with, we can certainly improve the existing look of our skin especially the face with the face make-up. But face make-up is an art. If the face make-up is not applied properly, then the entire make up done would go waste and the beauty of the woman can be hampered to a great extent. The secret to a good face make-up is not to do too much or too less makeup.

The ideal face make-up involves applying the right amount according to the required occasion. There are different makeup tricks for different occasions. You just can`t imagine going to a business meeting with your face painted with too much makeup. Similarly for a theme party, you won`t be able to turn heads towards you unless you look something different. The following face make-up tips will be helpful to bring out the real beauty that is hidden behind your face no matter what the occasion is.

Know your skin type:

Before applying face make-up, it`s very important to know the skin type because, makeup tips and products vary according to different skin types.

Foundation:

Foundation is the base of face make-up. For normal skin, you need to choose a foundation specific for normal skin, while for dry skin a alcohol-free double-duty foundation is required. For oily skin, water-based foundation is ideal. There is a special trick for applying foundation. At first clean your face with a normal cleanser (toner for oily skin) and then apply moisturizer on the face and leave the cream to be absorbed for 2-3minutes. Then apply foundation by putting small dot on the forehead, cheek, nose and chin area and blend it well with your fingertips.

Concealer :

If your skin has acne, red spots, black heads, or pimples, you can cover these flaws with a good concealer. If you are blessed with a good and blemish free skin, you can skip this part of the face make-up.

Blush:

After applying foundation and concealer, for a mat finish you can apply some translucent powder to prevent shine and to help set the underlying foundation. Or you can opt for blush to make your face look refreshed. However, the color of blush must match the skin, lipstick and hair color.

Eye shadow:

Eye shadow is the most creative part of the face make-up. Before applying eye shadow, it`s good to apply a neutral concealer matching the skin tone of the eyelid. Remember, the color of eye shadow should match the color of eyes. Start with the lightest shade from lash line to brow line which will ensure a smudge-free application.

Mascara:

Mascara application accentuates the eye make-up. But be careful not to overdo. You can use brown mascara for a softer and flattering look.

Lip makeup:

Lip makeup is a very important part of face make-up. Before applying lipstick, draw the outline of lips with a lip liner. Apply with a single coat first and then go for a second coat to make your lips a fuller look. Soft matte colors in pink, peach, berry, or coral make the lips appear luscious.

Many people think a girl has to be drop-dead gorgeous to be really successful at flirting with a guy. Actually, anybody can do it. What you need to do is to learn how to flirt with a guy correctly in order to impress the guy you like and also show the guy that you like him, and you may be get surprised when you find out that he likes you too.

These flirting tips for girls, teen girls and ladies in all walks of life is just some guide for you to go out and find that special someone, in case, you have your own style, just incorporate some of the tips here and I guarantee, you’ll be irresistible! So, here are the 5 tips on how to flirt with a guy:

1. Be conscious of your appearance

If you want to flirt with guys, the first thing that you need to pay attention is your physical appearance. It is not always necessary to dress provocatively, but you should wear something that looks elegant, clean looking, comfortable, and at the same time makes you feel confident. Remeber, you don’t need to have millions of expensive clothes to look beautiful because some simple fashions never go out of style. Try sporting dark, slimming jeans, a simple solid colored tank or cami, some chunky bead necklaces, or a cute sun dress.

Be sure that you shower and clean yourself regularly. You should also wear deodorant, shave frequently, clean your ears, brush your teeth and hair, and you could try to paint your nails. Also, try to wear your hair in a style that makes you feel pretty and use a perfume that smells sweet, but is not too overpowering.

2. Ensure That You Are Alone

Don’t stay in a group. A guy may find it a little uncomfortable to approach you if you are in a large group of people. No man can bear a rejection in front of a herd. Also, he may feel that he can’t approach you because of your friends.

So, ensure that you are sitting or standing alone for atleast some time, so that he can approach you easily. Also, try to minimize the distance between the two of you. For example, you can sit at the chair ortable next to him.

3. Act Right

There are multiple ways to act flirty, here are some of the best suggestions:

Compliments

Be sure to compliment them on things that are true. Sometimes people will make up compliments just to talk to someone, but that is the total wrong thing to do. You really should compliment on things you really like, so you sound more sincere naturally.

Eyes contact

The eyes can be your most effective tool for flirting. It’s possible to make a guy’s heart skip a beat by giving him a playful, lusty, or lingering stare. Here is how to do:

If you’re walking by someone you’ve got the hots for, give him a 2-3 second stare and then slowly glance away (slow is important). Smile just as you start to look away. He’ll get the message.

Additionally, when you’re talking to a guy you like, take a second to momentarily break away from his eyes and pause on his upper body or chest. Let 2 seconds pass. Then slowly move your eyes back up and make eye contact again. This will give him chills of excitement. He’ll realize that you were checking him out…and he’ll love it.

Hair Flip and Twirl

If you want to catch a guys attention, flip your hair casually over your shoulder, twist it and then untwist it, tuck it behind your ears, or run your hands through it.

Soft Giggle and Smile

According to polls, a laugh and a smile are the sexiest things a female can wear. If you perfect your smile and laugh to be seductive and sweet, you will find some great results. Practice forcing a natural smile and laugh, it can help through awkward situations.

Magic Touch

You can learn to brush a guy in such a way that you send tingles up and down his spine. Casually tap him while laughing, rest your head on his shoulder if you’re tired and hold his hand when you’re nervous; it will give him a sense of manliness and you a touch sweetie-pie, no pun intended.

4. Move Closer to Him and Start The Conversation

Approach him and start a light conversation to get things going, but don’t make it too obvious that you like him. If he approaches you, look him in the eyes as a sign of affection and confidence. The best opening line is saying hello. Talk about what you have in common, talk about your surroundings, ask a question, ask for help, state an opinion.

5. Get To Know Him

After he has come up to you and both of you have started talking, just try to find out whether he is your type or not. Is he one of the pushy ones or will stop at the line you draw. If you feel comfortable with him, carry on with the evening. Incase he is not your type, just excuse yourself politely from his company. However, remember that you are the one who led him on. Now if you don’t feel upto it, don’t get outrightly rude.

Lastly, if he’s intrested in you, dont just go immediatly to be “best friends” or “boyfriend.” Just start hanging out with him, and become friends, slowly become best friends, until it becomes even more! You want to make sure it is the right guy for you, and you know what he likes! Good Luck, Girls !

Face shape is the deciding factor to choose a new hairstyle. People often follow the latest hairstyle without thinking whether that would look good or not. Face shape differs from person to person and there’s a particular hairstyle that would do wonders for it. Many of us actually don’t know the shape of their face. To find out the shape of your face, do the following measurement:

1.Measure your face with tape of ruler.

2.Measure your face across your jaw line and then across the top of your cheekbones. The measurement should extend from one edge to the exact point on the other side.

3.Measure across your forehead at the widest point. The widest point is about halfway between the eyebrows and the hairline.

4.Measure from the tip of your face line to the bottom of your chin.

5.Record the measurement

Result: You have a Round Face if it is as wide as it is long. This may vary a little but generally the measurement is close.

The haircut of the round faces should be to minimize the roundness of the face and increases the appearance of length. The hairstyle should compliment the appearance and basic geometry of the individual. Read through our hair styles for round faces:

1.Long hair is better than short hair on round faces. Length elongates the face.

2.Layering in long hair makes face look longer.

3.Opt for short hairstyles that add length to your face, or those with the sides cut short or close to the face.

4.Layered bangs give the illusion of length to the face.

5.Long, side-sweeping bangs are universally flattering, but work especially well on women with round faces.

6.Curl around the crown is also good. Keep it away they should be kept away from the cheeks.

7.A bob cut above the chin looks nice for women with double chins.

8.Cropped hair is the best to make a short neck appear longer.

9.Gentle waves deflect the roundness of the face.

10.Wispy ends are flattering to a round face than blunt cut. One-length ends, widens the face.

11.Full side-swept bangs, hair worn below the jaw and one lightly flipped look good. 

12.Wavy hair can mask roundness.

13.Sleek, graduated layers from the lips down remove bulk and weight from the sides.

14.Wispy, tapered ends de-emphasize roundness.

Bella asked:

I just died my hair dark brown, and it used to be light brown/dark blonde and am having trouble with make-up now.
I used to do smokey eyes, but with the dark hair it makes me look like a vampire. Any suggestions? Thanks. I have a wedding tonight and am wearing a black dress.

The daily battle of what to wear each morning could be tiring and could really ruin your day. If this is already happening, then it’s time for you to consider shopping for new teen clothing. Shopping for new clothes should always be fun and exciting experience, but often, it is not.

Choosing what to buy and what not to buy could be a little stressful. If you are about to go on your next shopping spree, then check out this article as it might help you find what you are looking for and help you build a respectable wardrobe.

General Shopping Tips

It is very easy to get confused when it comes to fashion, with it being so quick to change. What is important to remember though is for you to invest on classic and skimp on fad. This basically means that you have to invest in good classic pieces that are timeless. While trendy clothes and hip items might be the hottest thing right now, ask yourself if these will still be fashionable in a couple of months, even weeks.

If it’s not, then don’t spend a whole lot of money on these pieces for you will just end up not wearing them after sometime. Spend on items that you constantly use and are a staple in your wardrobe like a pair of good structured jeans or a black dress.

If you have a current favorite style or color of clothing, then use that as a guide in buying your next items. If they look good on you, then what you will buy will most probably look good on you as well and will blend with the rest of your wardrobe.

Fit is very important and there is no one generic fit so find out what fits your body perfectly. Take note of your best features and highlight them as well as downplay the areas that you want to hide. If you have toned arms, then show them off with sleeveless tops. If you are proud of your legs, then draw attention to them by wearing miniskirts, shorts and capris. One great way to draw attention to an area is through the use of bright colors while hiding an area would entail using darker colors. Horizontal stripes make you look wider while vertical lines make you look taller.

Hold up the clothing to your body before going to the dressing room because by doing that, you can establish if that clothing suits your skin color and style. Move around once you’ve tried out the clothes just to check out how the clothes move with you.

When it comes to pants, it is best to ignore the printed kinds and just go for what fits best. The cut is also very important, however, remember that flairs make your hips looks slimmer but it will make your legs look shorter. Have extremely long pants altered because it will make you look shorter. Tapered skinny pants will make you look curvier while the straight leg cut will make you appear to have longer legs.
