How U Apply UR Lipsticks

LIPSTICKS
Experts argue over whether you should apply lipstick or lip liner first, so the solution is that you should just try it both ways and see what turns out better on you. The makeup masters all agree on this fact though: your lipstick and lip liner should match and blend together. 'Never' apply a lip liner that is darker to your lipstick in an effort to make the lip liner stand out. That was an awful, awful '90s trend and everyone was glad to see it pass.
Even girls who don't usually wear makeup have been known to slap on some lipstick from time to time. There are lip gloss (which comes in a little pot or tube with a wand) and frost, matte and cream lipsticks (which come in the famous lipstick stick). Try out all the different kinds of lipsticks to find out the ones you are most comfortable wearing (they are all quite different in texture).
Every beauty conscious woman must be aware of the shade of lipstick to be used which should be commensurate with the shape of her face, curves of lips, complexion and her clothes. Moreover, one must take into consideration age, colour of hair. Carelessness can damage the looks. Lipstick is considered a morale booster, and is essentially helpful in giving her self-respect and self-confidence.
How to apply Lipstick?
Lipstick is used to beautify lips but if applied shabbily, it looks ugly.
1. Before putting on lipstick clean lips with a piece of cotton wool swab dipped in cleansing milk. Lipstick does not gives lustre if lips are not clean. Do not use soap because lips have soft skin.
2. Put on foundation cream, let it dry
3. Apply lipstick by first drawing an outline followed by filling it in. Lipstick can be applied with a brush but it requires skill and practice. If lipstick spreads on lips, apply powder on lips, let it dry and then apply lipstick. Many times it is not very comfortable to apply it while standing, because hands may shake and spread it. So, it is more comfortable to use dressing table, rest your elbows on the dressing table.
4. Put on lipstick on the upper lip, followed by lower lip. Use lighter tinge first and then darker for glow.
5. After applying light tinge, keep a tissue a tissue between your lips and wipe off extra lipstick with tissue paper.
6. Then use dark colour.
7. Blend both the colours with a brush.
8. Use of vaseline or cream gives lustre to lips after applying lipstick.
CHANGE YOUR LOOKS WITH CORRECT APPLICATION OF LIPSTICK
Lipstick can change the look of lips - broad lips can be made to look thin and thin lips can be made to look broad and shape of lips can also be moulded to some extent.
- For a Small face use light shade on lower lip and darker tinge on upper lip.
- For thin Lips, apply light shade on upper lip and dark on lower lip. This will make your lips look slightly broader. You can also make your lips look broad by increasing the outline of your lips.
- For broad lips reduce the outline considerably.
- Uneven lips can be given desired shape according to your face by making an appropriate outline.
- For thickness apply two coats.
Tips for Choosing Colour of your Lipsticks
Choose colour as per your age, the occasion and the clothes you are wearing.
- Natural shades suit the girls.- Working women should not use bright shades while going to work.- Young women with fair complexion between eighteen and twenty-five should use pink shades.- Women with dark complexion between eighteen and twenty-five can use orange shade.- Women between twenty-five and forty should go in for lighter shade.
Lipstick according to Colour of your Eyes
- For brown eyed women, pink is recommended.- For black eyes, use light crimson.- For blue eyes, use scarlet and subdued brown.- For greyish eyes, use orange shade.
Lipstick According to the Colour of your Hair
- With black, orange shade will suit.- For grey hair, use pink.- For golden brown, use scarlet.
Lipstick As per Colour of your Dresses
- With orange shade of your dress, use pink lipstick.- With pink dress, use crimson.
You cannot match lipstick with each dress you wear, but try to match as much as you can.
Lip Liner
Lip liner goes around the perimeter of your lips and is used to define them and keep lipstick in place. Lipstick clings to the lip liner and is therefore less likely to rub off. Lip liners typically come in pencil form.
Why should a Lip Lining pencil be used?
A lip lining pencil has a harder consistency than a lipstick and is used to outline the lips so as to clearly define their shape. It is a great aid, if your lips are not perfectly shaped: you can make the lips appear thinner or fuller or you can draw an uplifted comer if your lips hang. The outlining of the lips in addition, prevents bleeding of the lip product into the tiny lines that are present around the mouth, giving the lips a sharp; defined outline.
Lipsticks and your Lips
Lipsticks are the most commonly used lip make-up. They come in a variety of colours. The colour of the lipstick you use should match not only with the rest of the makeup but with your dress and with the rest of you as well. Remember pale skins would need soft colours, while darker skins can carry off the more vibrant shades.
Why does the colour of lipstick change on the lips?
When your lipstick changes colour or 'turns blue' on your lips, after a period of wear, it is an indication that it needs to be reapplied. This change occurs because the so called true colour of the lipstick (the colour you see in the lipstick case or on the lips immediately after application) has worn out more quickly than those components of the lipstick which are responsible for the adherence and these chemicals generally have a slight bluish tone.
Habits like biting or picking the lips intensify the problem, since they help remove the true colour even more quickly. If your lips are not dry and clean, when you are applying lipstick, the colour loss is more rapid. You would face this problem less frequently brown or brick shades, since these pigments tend to keep their colour better than pink or mauve shades.
Lipsticks seem to come off rather easily nowadays as they are less heavy and less staining than they were before. This is because they contain more waxes and emollients to give them a sheer glossy finish - something which todays costumer wants.
Remove the Lipstick
Remove the lipstick before going to bed. It is advisable to use a good quality product. Sub standard product can spoil the skin

EYE SHADOWS







Purpose of Eye Shadow
Eye shadow goes on each entire lid and sometimes in the space between your lids and your eyebrows. It comes in a variety of colours and also several different forms, including cream (good for dry skin), matte (good for oily skin) and pencil (good for all types of skin).
Different Forms of Eye shadows
Apart from colour, there is a choice of forms of the eye shadows. You can choose from pressed powders, pencils, sticks, gels, crayons and creams. Pressed powders are still the most popular form of shadows, because they are the easiest to apply and control. These are available in pearly and matt textures. The effect is not long lasting, but if you apply them with a wet brush, you can get a deeper effect and increase the staying qualities of the colour.
The cream based eye shadows are oil or wax based. They are best suited for dry lids and should be avoided on oily lids. Sticks are a firmer form of cream shadow and look quite like lipsticks. Pencils have, however, almost totally replaced sticks and crayons. They have a high colour and filling ability. Gels are suited for oily skins. These give a long lasting, subtle and translucent effect. Liquid shadows also have a long lasting effect, but are difficult to apply because it is difficult to get an even flow of colour with them.

Perfect Lips



Nothing impresses your friends more than a perfect lip line, because it is the hardest makeup application to do.To get it, avoid applying the lip pencil too heavily, which will be difficult to blend and soften into the lipstick. Keeping your mouth closed lightly trace the lip line with the lip pencil so it can barely be seen, but can be used as a guide line.
Hold the brush horizontally to trace along the lip line, and do a little bit at a time, backing up and going over it again. Don't try to get the whole line in one stroke. The best lip brush is a sable with a slightly tapered edge, not straight one.
This provides more control and a cleaner line.If you are really pressed for time, apply lipstick only on the bottom lip and press your lips together. Then, blend out to the lip line with the edge of a lip brush, not the tip, for a precise line, or use a dampened cotton swab for a soft, natural lip line.
When finished, instead of blotting the lips by biting a tissue, lay the tissue across both lips while your mouth is closed. This will imprint your lips, including the edges of the mouth where lipstick usually bleeds. Perfect!

7 Steps For Makeup



Avoid wearing too much
Makeup is meant to enhance features not bring negative attention to you. That's what wearing too much makeup will do; it will bring you unwanted attention. Don't wear too much of anything such as:
1. Eyeliner: dark, thick eyeliner will make you look overdone and will ruin the rest of your makeup.
2. Mascara: too much mascara looks fake and will flake. It looks especially bad if worn with thick eyeliner or dark blue eye eye shadow.
3. Foundation: Make sure your foundation is the same color as your skin. Foundation is meant to protect and give the face a smooth look. The magic word is blend.
4. Powder: The same holds true for powder - not too much. Also, be sure to blend your makeup so there are no obvious lines.
2. Lips
Apply lip liner to completely cover the lips, add color and your lipstick will stay on much longer. Make sure your lip liner doesn't show. Also, your lip color should match your skin tone; wear cool colors if you have cool coloring and warm colors if you have warm coloring. If you want to make your lips look smaller, keep your liner on the inside of your lips. However, if you decide to make your lips look larger, going outside the natural outline of you lips is a mistake. This can look quite messy and unnatural.
3. Appropriate makeup
Wear makeup that is appropriate for the occasion. If you are going to the beach you shouldn't wear the same or as much makeup as you would if you were going dancing. Also, when you are in daylight your makeup should be a lighter than when you are out for the evening.
4. Too little or no makeup
Some women don't wear makeup because they are not sure how to use it and are afraid of being overdone. If you are unsure, start will light colours in your shade. Start slowly and add one product at a time. Maybe start with foundation, add mascara, blush or lipstick. If you are not used to wearing makeup, using a lot a first may be a little too much for you, so start slowly. The bottom line is a little is better than none. If you are still unsure seek professional advice.
5. Overall look
When your makeup is completed it should look natural. That means avoiding colours that clash. If you have dark skin and hair you will look better in darker shades; light colours will make you look washed out. If your hair and skin tone are light, light colours will look better on you. Dark makeup will make you look older and harsh. If you have oily skin, first use oil control moisturizer and foundation. Then be sure to wear loose powder, keeping pressed powder with you for touch ups.
6. Hair color
Your hair color should also be in harmony with your skin. If you have dark hair and you want to add color, keep it close to the same shade. If you have light hair, use light colors. As you age your skin will lighten, so should your hair color. One last thing about hair color - if you do color you hair be sure you keep it up, don't let your roots show.
7. One last thing
Keep makeup looking fresh all day by doing regular touch ups. Don't let your makeup fade or crease. Smile!!!

Bridal Makeup



  • All brides want to look special and fabulous on their wedding day while looking true to themselves. And this is possible only with the right bridal make-up where you will not look like a stranger in your wedding photographs.
    Though you don't usually wear make up, it is better, and needed to bend rules a bit on the wedding day to wear make up to make your skin flawless and glowing. When applying bridal make up, it is better to first use a transparent gel. This gel, or primer works not only as part of the foundation, but also forms a barrier between the skin and make up to make the make up stay, and colors to stay true.
    When applying bridal make up, it is important that you aim for a natural look while defining your eyes. You can shape your eyes with eyeliner where smudgeable powder liner is the best bet. Make it a point to avoid harsh lines and to curl your lashes by holding the curler against the dry lashes for a few seconds. After this, about 2-3 layers of waterproof mascara have to be applied. If you have a professional working for you, you could consider having false lashes in the corners for enhanced bridal make up.
    When applying bridal make up, you have to choose your eye shadow carefully by avoiding trendy colors. Blue eye shadow may look nice now; but once the photos grow old, the color tends to fade. Never use bright colors for eye shadows as they tend to scream from photos while you have to avoid gray colors as it makes the skin look ashy. Instead it is better to choose a true color where neutrals provide the best effect.
    1.In bridal make up, use lip liners to frame your lips, and to hold the color. Remember to choose a natural color and not something dark. It is always better to brush the lipstick on while adding a small amount of gloss in the center of the bottom lip for a special glow. Make it a point to avoid pale colors as it makes your lips fade into the dress. Whichever color you choose for the lips and eyes in the bridal make up, it is important that there is some balance between the lips and eyes.
    2.If you love to have a tan, it is better to avoid tanning when the wedding day nears as it tends to make things look artificial and harsh in wedding photos. The tan clashes with the bridal make up. Though it may cost a bit of money, it is better to have a professional apply your bridal makeup where you will realize the value of the money you spend from the photos.
    3.to avoid makeup for a few days before the wedding day, and before applying bridal make up as it gives your skin some rest. And most important of all, lots of sleep prior to the wedding day will enhance the effects of any form of bridal make up.

face cleansers


Cleansing: Face CleansersAlways tuck your hair before applying the cream to avoid making the hair greasy. Apply cleansing cream in generous quantity on cheeks, chin, neck and forehead. Massage the cream into the skin in a light upward and outward movement, concentrating on the creases near the nose, under the chin area, neck, earlobes, around the corners of the mouth. Use a moist cotton to remove the cream as the dry cotton absorbs the moisture from the skin and we do not want to loose that moisture. Repeat the cleansing process two or three times until the cotton wool comes out clean. The cleansing must be ideally done twice a day, once in the morning and again before going to bed.

Whenever you wash your hands, while bathing as well as otherwise, make sure to dry the nails properly and apply a hand cream or lotion, using it on the nails as well. This is because soap makes the nails dry and brittle.

skin care


SKIN may not be something that most people think of as an obvious feature. But if it looks blemished or is in bad condition, no amount of make up elsewhere on the face will disguise this fact.
Words such as vitality and health spring to mind when describing beautiful skin -it is a real asset no matter what age you are. It's plain to see why such a highly coveted canvas (and largest organ in the body) deserve the very best of care and attention.
