The dry difficult to use lip pencils of the past are now history with the newer products containing things like vitamin E and jojoba oil to nourish the lips. The new pencils come in a range of varieties like water resistant.<br /><br />Since the newer liners had a wider girth, there was the issue of sharpening them, this was solved with the double port sharpener that had an adaptor which when taken out would help the sharpener to adjust to the width of the liner. The adapter forms a thin casing around the port that it occupies and can conveniently be removed with a fingernail.<br /><br />There have been other improvements apart from the width. Some companies are offering all in one items to allow for lining and filling with one pencil. This sorts out the color matching problem and saves some money for consumers. The lines between a lip liner and pencil may never have existed but the line between lip pencils and lipsticks may be fading away.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq5v5ZG5Vj0EIc2aBlIasKe2YJZfoz8hs3C-GBVZsvLCVJ0g0TzAuqflxSb0JEh2JSrrUPUCDhEfLQ4gVjvkjozb3hG0Cn_-1CgRwqEMKmoOOgKdAQoZ-1NtPO0iHfMEssCCkuM4ATEmI/s1600-h/Bourjois_gloss_effet-3D-nudes.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq5v5ZG5Vj0EIc2aBlIasKe2YJZfoz8hs3C-GBVZsvLCVJ0g0TzAuqflxSb0JEh2JSrrUPUCDhEfLQ4gVjvkjozb3hG0Cn_-1CgRwqEMKmoOOgKdAQoZ-1NtPO0iHfMEssCCkuM4ATEmI/s400/Bourjois_gloss_effet-3D-nudes.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335735515563589826" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Everybody from fashion glossies to fashionistas are talking about models and movie stars using lip pencils.

The foundation market today is saturated with many types and brands of foundations. Foundation is the cosmetic product that women pay the most attention to. And remember, foundation is one of those products you wear every day, so making the right investment at the beginning will pay off. There are two keys to <strong>applying foundation</strong> - the first is to choose the perfect foundation shade and the second is to pick the right formulation for your skin. </p> <h3>Choosing foundation type </h3> <p> The reason for applying foundation is to get a smooth and even finish to your skin. Liquid foundation is most commonly used because it is easy to apply. However, compact foundations are excellent alternatives as they give an even finish, which doesn't have to be set with powder. </p> <h2>Types of Foundations</h2> <p><span class="style46"><strong>Tinted Moisturizers</strong></span> - These are a a cross between a moisturizer and a foundation, as they will soothe your skin while giving a little coverage. They are ideal for young or clear skins. Unlike other foundations, you can blend tinted moisturizers on with your fingertips. </p> <p><span class="style46"><strong>Liquid Foundations</strong></span> - These suit all but the driest skins. If you have oily skin, look for an oil-free liquid foundation to cover affected areas without aggravating them. </p> <p><span class="style46"><strong>Cream Foundations</strong></span> - These are thick , rich and moisturizing, making them ideal for dry or mature skins. They have a fairy heavy texture, so blend them well into your skin with a damp cosmetic sponge. </p> <p><span class="style46"><strong>Mousse Foundation</strong></span> - Again these are quite moisturizing and ideal for drier skins. To apply, dab a little onto the back of your hand, then dot onto your skin with a sponge. </p> <p><span class="style46"><strong>Compact Foundation</strong></span> - These are all-in-one formulations, which already contain powder. They come in a compact, usually with their own sponge for application. </p> <p><span class="style46"><strong>Stick Foundation</strong></span> - These are the original foundation, dating back to the early days of hollywood. They are best confined for use on badly blemished skin.</p> <h2>HOW TO APPLY FOUNDATION</h2> <p>Foundation is always applied downwards, to minimize the impact of facial hair.</p> <ul><li>Take out a small blob of foundation on the palm of your hand. As foundation dries up fast, dot foundation section by section on the face.</li><li> Start by dotting on the forehead and blend well with a damp sponge on fingers before moving on.</li><li> Now do it on your cheeks, then chin, nose and upper neck.</li></ul> <p>You may dilute the foundation by adding some astringent, toner or even water to make it sheer enough to let your skin show through. It looks more natural if applied like this.</p> <h3>HOW TO BUY FOUNDATION </h3> <p>Test foundation on the inside of the forearm-skin tone is closest to neck colour there, because it's protected from UV damage. Makeup should blend with the skin colour of the neck, not the face. If any doubt then buy one shade lighter than your facial skin tone. Don't make up your mind instantly. It takes about a minute for colour to dry and interact with the chemicals in your skin. The red pigments develop first so it will appear the pinkest at the beginning. Then go to the nearest source of natural light. (Even the most flattering uplift cosmetics hall tends to have colour-distorting fluorescent lighting.) If you have chosen the right colour, it will disappear into the skin.<br /></p><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step3</span></span>. <a href="http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/concealers.htm"> Applying concealer </a><br /><p> Concealers come in shades to match every skin tone. Choose a makeup concealer that is lightweight yet creamy. A stick concealer provides direct on-the-spot application. A quality concealer is texture-free, virtually invisible and vitamin-enriched. The best concealer will brighten and lighten dark areas, erase spots and even out skin tones. </p> <p>Quality concealers make skin flaw-free. Most concealers, including under eye concealers, can be used under foundation or on their own. Find a concealer that is water-resistant, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. </p> <p> <strong>Use Of Under-Eye Concealers: </strong></p> <p>Concealers are applied to cover dark circles around the eyes, thereby grweatly enhancing the appearance of the face.They are matched to the skin tone and are applied before using the harmony foundation. Concealers come in shades to match every skin tone. </p> <h2>HOW TO APPLY CONCEALERS </h2> <p> 1. In applying concealers, using the right makeup techniques is important. Concealers are of a denser composition than regular foundations and are generally available in sticks, tubes, pots, and creams. Concealers can be used to cover blemishes, dark spots, ruddy areas, marks, veins, freckles or under eye circles. </p> <p>2. Your concealer should be one shade lighter than your foundation (and only in extreme cases should you use a concealer two shades lighter). </p> <p>3. Using a concealer that is too light or too pink will give the appearance of `owl eyes'. In other words, it will emphasize the dark area instead of concealing it. </p> <p>4. Apply concealer with a small fine tipped brush for an accurate application. As with any other application, blending is the key. </p> 5. Always set your concealer with a sheer, translucent powder to prevent creasing.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step4</span></span>. <a href="http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/apply-eye-shadow.htm"> Applying eye shadow </a><br /><br /><p> Eyeshadows are certainly eye catching on the entire face. It is like fun to experiment with eye shadows, eye liners, pencils, paints,and powders but most women just want to know what is right for them. Always choose neutral colours for eyeshadow to subtly enhance your looks, or play with kaleidoscope of different shades to contrast with and dramatize your colouring. For those wishing to make their eyes the focal point of attention, eye shadows, eyebrow gels, eyeliners in the right style can do the trick. <strong>Follow below given steps on how to apply eye shadow. </strong>If you have brown eyes have a look at the selection of <strong><a href="http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/eyeshadow-for-brown-eyes.htm">Eye Shadow for Brown Eyes</a> </strong> </p> <h2 align="justify">How to Apply Eyeshadow </h2> <p>1. The first rule when applying eye shadow is to blend it well so there are no harsh edges. Put the very light shade (high lighter) on the space beneath the brows up to the crease of the eye lid. </p> <p>2. Apply the medium shade on the upper eyelid only. Use a lighter shade under the browbone to highlight the eyes.</p> <p>3. And the darkest shade on the crease of the eyelid that is the place almost in the middle of the total eye area-above the lashes and beneath the brows. Blend both the colors well. </p> <p>4. With the tip of a fine brush, apply a little shadow beneath the eyes, along the lower lash line. Smudge it lightly to give your eyes a subtle, glamorous look.</p> <h3>Applying Eyeshadow Tip submitted by Pav</h3> <p> Purple eyeshadows tend to look stunning on brown eyes as does green on hazel eyes, gold on green eyes, and for blue eyes use a blue eyeshadow in a lighter shade than your eye colour.</p> <h3>Eye Shadow Kit and Colour Choice </h3> <p>Your eye shadow kit may contain 3 shadows-a very light shade (vanilla, very pale pink, beige, silver grey etc) which is the high lighter and which gives a light shimmer on the brow bone and highlights it. The box has two more shades of the same color. Light base shadows in pale pink, yellow, cream or beige look good on small eyes; spread over the entire lid with a touch of dark shadow in the outer corners, these accent the eyes.</p> <p>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. </p> <h3>Powder and Cream Eyeshadows</h3> <p><strong>Powder Eyeshadow</strong>: This is the most popular type. These come in pressed cakes of powder either with a small brush or a sponge applicator. You can build up their density from barely there to dramatic. Apply using a damp brush or sponge if you want a deep colour for an evening look. </p> <p class="style46"><strong>Cream Shadows</strong>: These are oil based and come in little pots or compacts. They are applied either with a brush or your fingertips. They are a good choice for dry skins that need extra moisturizing.</p> <h3>Stick Shadows and Liquid Eye Shadow</h3> <p>Wax based, you smooth these onto your eyelids from the stick. Ensure they have a creamy texture before you buy them, so they would not drag at your skin. Usually Liquid eyeshadow come in a slim bottle with a sponge applicator. Look for the cream-to-powder ones that smooth on as a liquid and blend to a velvety powder finish. </p> <h4>Picking Your Eye shadow Colors </h4> <ul><li>Eye shadow colors matched with skin tone, eye color and hair color is what makeup experts recommend and neutral looks good on everyone. </li><li>The first step towards applying any eye makeup is to pat some powder onto the eyelids to matte them and keep the powder eye shadow from creasing. If using cream eye shadow, this can be skipped as creams will clump and clog with the dry powder. </li><li>Eye shadows need to coordinate with eyes and hair, not than clothes. Browns, lavenders are best for blue-eyed, blonde haired women as well as light brown eyed-ladies. Smoky grays, bronzed pinks and silver toned peaches look good on women with green or black eyes. </li></ul> <p><strong>Eyeshadows Makeup Tip Suggested by Visitors </strong></p> <p> Try applying an eyeshadow that matches your skin tone. Apply to the lid all the way up to the eyebrow. Then apply a walnut colored eyeliner on the top lid, then smudge. Put on a dark brown mascara. You will look sophisticated, but very natural. </p> <p> NEVER wear red eyeshadow if you are a blue-eyed blonde. It seriously makes you look like da devil. Or the American flag which is worse. By Edward </p> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step5</span></span>. <a href="http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/apply-eye-liner.htm"> Applying eye liner </a><br /><br /><p>Eyeliner is a great way to flatter all eye shapes and sizes. Eyeliner should be applied after eyeshadow and before your mascara. An eyeliner adds depth and definition to the eyes, making them more dramatic and expressive. The earlier cake type of eye liner has now been somewhat replaced by liquids and pencils. The liquid liners are sold in bottles either with a separate small brush or in an automatic unit with the brush built into the cap. Eyeliner is applied for emphasizing eye shape and accentuating the lash line.</p> <h3><strong>Eye liner comes in two forms - Liquid and pencil eyeliner. </strong></h3> <p><span class="style46"><strong>Liquid Eyeliners</strong></span> - These have a fuild consistency and usually come with a brush attached to the cap. However, these are not as easy to apply as the ink-well sponge-tipped variety. To apply liner, look down into your mirror to prevent the liquid smudging. You should stay like this for a few seconds after applying the liner to give it time to dry thoroughly.</p> <p><span class="style46"><strong>Pencil Eyeliner</strong></span> - This is the easiest way to add extra emphasis to your eyes. A pencil should be used to draw a line close to your upper and lower lashes. It is a good idea to sharpen the pencil between uses, not only to ensure you have a fine tip with which to work, but laos to keep it bacteria free. Alternatively look for eyeliner pencils that come with a smudger built in at the other end. </p> <h2>Steps for Applying Eye liner </h2> <p> First apply <a href="http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/apply-eye-shadow.htm">eye shadow </a>, then move on to apply eyeliner. If you have never applied liner before and feel a bit nervous, try this technique. Sit down at a table in a good light with a mirror. Take your good eyeliner in your hand and rest your elbow on the table to keep your arm and hand steady. You can also give yourself extra support by resting your little finger on your cheek. These are <strong>some tips and instructions for applying eyeliner properly.</strong></p> <ul><li> Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. </li><li> Draw a thin line, try to draw as close to the base of your eyelids as possible. Start from the inside corner of your eye and work your way out. </li><li> Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open state. This creates a good angle for application, while allowing you to see what you're doing. </li><li> Experiment with lining the bottom of your eyes the same way for a more dramatic look. When lining your bottom lids, go in the opposite direction: start from the outside corner and work your way in. </li></ul> <h3>Types of Eyeliners and application tips </h3> <ul><li><strong>Pencil eyeliners: </strong> offer good consistency and are relatively easy to use. These can be testing by drawing with them on the back of the hand and ensuring that the pencil does not tug at the skin or leave thick globs. For a soft look, the pencil liner applied in a thin line over the natural lash line can be smudged with the fingertip or with a damp makeup brush to give the appearance of a dark shadow. </li><li><strong>Liquid eyeliners: </strong>Take practice and a steady hand to apply, but are sure to give a smooth, sensuous line to the length of the eye. They are generally limited to the top of the eyelashes, whereas an eye shadow or an eye lining pencil may be used under the lower lashes also. Usually sold in bottles with an application brush, one must allow the liquid eyeliner to dry before opening the eyes to avoid smudging. </li><li><strong>Permanent eyeliners: </strong>are comparatively more expensive and exclusive options, created through cosmetic surgery by micro pigmentation. This technique adds a defined line to the lid using a handheld device that punctures the skin several times a minute with a very thin needle to push color pigments to the desired position. </li><li><strong>Cake eyeliners: </strong>are applied with water on the top and bottom of the eyelid. For applying pencil and cake eyeliners, it is important to face a mirror with good lighting overhead and hold the head back while pulling the skin on the eyelids tight. This makes it easier to control the application of the eyeliner. </li></ul> <h3>Eye makeup tips and techniques for Eyeliners </h3> <ul><li>The purpose of an eyeliner is to make eyelashes look thicker and a dark liquid one highlights the shape of the eyes and deepens the look. </li><li>Lining under the eyes is recommended only for those with big eyes, as it tends to make the eyes appear smaller. </li><li>For using pencil eyeliners, it is best to softly draw a thin line along lashes, next to roots. For a party look, the color can be lightly dotted along the lower lashes and for demure looks, the line be softly smudged with fingertip or a Q-tip. </li><li> Wash your eyebrow makeup brushes regularly with makeup remover or a mild gel <a id="KonaLink0" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/apply-eye-liner.htm#"><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12;color:#b00000;" ><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12;color:#b00000;" >shampoo</span></span></a>. </li><li> never apply eyeliner if your eyes are tired or infected </li><li>Do not apply thick eyeliner to small or close-set eyes. </li><li> Color of the eyeliner should be same as the the color of the mascara. </li></ul><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step6. </span></span><a href="http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/apply-eye-mascara.htm"> Applying eye mascara </a><br /><br /><p>Mascara adds a flattering fringe to your eyes - particularly if your lashes are fair. Applying Mascara is the final step in eye makeup. Mascara is applied on the eye lashes to beautify them. Different formulas and application of mascara can enhance your lashes in different ways. To make the eyes alluring, the use of the right eye makeup product using the correct technique is very important. For eye-popping appeal to this focal point of the face, the basic idea is to use complementary colors. Mascara adds volume and length to the lashes and make your eyes appear brighter and more beautiful.</p> <h2> How to Apply Mascara</h2> <p><strong>Are you looking for "how to apply mascara"?</strong> Here are some tips for you.. </p> <p>Start by applying mascara to your upper lashes first. Brush them downwards to start with, then brush your lashes upwards from underneath. Use a tiny zig-zag movement to prevent mascara from clogging on your lashes.</p> <p>Next, use the tip of the mascara wand to brush your lowe lashes, using a gentle side to side technique. Take care to keep your hand steady whilst you are applying the mascara and not to blink while the mascara is still wet. Comb through your lashes with an eyelash comb to remove any excess the wand has left behind.</p> <h3> Tips for applying eye mascara</h3> <ul><li> Select a suitable color. If you have blond or red lashes then go for brown mascara. Darker-lashed women can consider brown for a casual look, and black or brown-black for more pronounced or dramatic lashes. </li><li><strong>Before applying mascara curl the lashes to widen the eyes.</strong> Prior to your mascara, Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and apply all other eye makeup. </li><li> Begin with the underside of your upper eye lashes and then moving the brush slowly upward toward the tips of your lashes. </li><li>Wait for a minute for them to dry, and similarly apply a second coat. Let the first coat dry completely, then apply the second coat. Two thin coats look more natural than one thick coat.</li><li>Finally brush with a clean dry brush, to separate the lashes. </li></ul> <h3>Selection of eyeliner shades </h3> <ul><li><strong>For women with blue eyes</strong>, eyeliners in brown and rose tones contrast the blue of the eyes, making them appear more vibrant. Green eyes, on the other hand, brighten up with violet shades that give a dramatic look for evenings or stage makeup and look great in photographs. A mocha shade is a subtle, everyday look for all eye colors but especially brown eyes, which also give a smoldering look when green and gold eyeliners are used. </li><li><strong>Neutral shades</strong> in eyeliners are charcoal, black, and chocolate, good for all eye colors, except those with small eyes would do well to avoid these, as they tend to make eyes appear smaller. Thus, it is preferable to restrict dark eyeliner colors to the crease of the eye and highlight the brow bone with a light shade. </li><li>All eye shadows need to complement the eye and hair-color of the person and a bit of powder dusted on the eyelid prepares the eyeliner to set well and intensify the eyes. </li></ul> <h3>How to remove eye mascara</h3> <p> <strong>Mascara must be removed very carefully to avoid damaging the delicate skin around the eyes.</strong> While removing the mascara from eyes always avoid the colour from going onto the delicate area below the bottom lashes and close your eyes. Roll a cotton bud dipped in a cosmetic cleanser over the lashes, taking the mascara down onto the tissue. Repeat this till all the mascara is gone.<br /></p><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step7.</span></span> <a href="http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/powder-makeup.htm"> Applying powder </a><br /><br /><p> When it comes to powder, there is quite a variety to choose from. Makeup powder is the one important ingredient that goes into the durable setting given to poised, cosmetic charm and makes for long lasting makeup wear. Makeup powder can help makeup stay in place, give a shine-free, even finish to the eye, cheek, lip or cream products used and also provides a quick touch up-tactic for the skin tone. It is a versatile makeup product that is every photographer's delight and helps to give natural, even-toned look to faces in artificial or natural lighting, highlighting distinctive features and downplaying not so attractive ones. </p> <h2>There are two types of makeup powders: </h2> <ul><li>Loose Powder - Loose powder has a light, airy consistency and is preferred by professional make-up artists because it's less likely to streak on the skin. This type of powder gives your face a very smooth, matt look and lasts longer than pressed powders. </li><li>Pressed Powder - Pressed powder is treated under great pressure to create a compact, cake form. Oils are often added to the formula to ensure that the powder sticks together longer, but this can make the product streak on your face </li></ul> <h2>Beauty benefits of makeup powder </h2> <ul><li>Many women like to carry pressed powder for a middle of the afternoon makeup touching up, be it at the office or out in the market. When applying party makeup, experts advise that post blending in of foundation and concealer, the face benefits from a feather-light dusting of a loose layer of makeup powder over the entire face and eyelids. </li><li>The application of makeup powder calls for a clean, large, fluffy and rounded makeup brush that helps casually dust loose powder and give a natural, even toned finish to the face. </li><li>A brush is a better bet for applying makeup powder as opposed to using a sponge or powder puff as these put too much powder onto the face. </li><li>The right way of dusting makeup powder is to touch the full end of the brush into the loose powder, knock off the excess and brush it on using the same up and down motion used for applying foundation. </li><li>Makeup powder eliminates the excessive shine to a face and needs to be applied more liberally when combined with the use of a sunscreen, as a thorough application is necessary for adequate sun protection and non-greasy feel. </li><li>Makeup powder must always be applied after the foundation and concealer has been finely blended in but before applying eye makeup. </li><li>The same shade of makeup powder in a pressed compact is a easy touch up tool for women on the move and a small amount of powder on a cosmetic puff, applied to shiny areas where makeup has thinned, offers great coverage. </li></ul><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step8</span></span>. <a href="http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/makeup/applying-blush.htm"> Applying blush </a><br /><br /><p> Give your complexion a bloom of colour with this indispensable beauty aid - blush.

It is the earliest and quickest way to give your face a focus and create an instant splash of colour. To apply lipstick properly, it is important to have the right tools handy for the best application of lip makeup and get the setting right, in sync with the occasion. The first step is to choose the best shade of lipstick according to the skin tone. Like the colors of rainbow, there are shades of virtually every color when it comes to coloring your lips. With a lighter complexion, the lipstick is used more to subjugate your skin tone. Lighter shades make a fair complexion seems paler and dull.

Reapply to help a longer lasting finish. </p> <h3>Makeup kit essentials for applying lipstick properly </h3> <p>The essential items for applying lipstick properly is having the right shade of lipstick handy with a lip brush, lip base/balm, lip liner and gloss, depending on individual taste. </p> <p>A lip liner defines the lips and prevents lip color from bleeding, giving it durability. They are available in pencil form and should be matched with the shade of lipstick used. </p> <p>Gentle brushing around the lips with a soft toothbrush helps to exfoliate dead cells around the mouth area and give a clear, defined shape to the lip line. </p> <p>Applying a touch of foundation/lip base onto the lips helps lipstick stay on longer and a neutral or lipstick matched liner used to outline the lips after this. The lip liner must be started from the center of the upper lip, drawn into a line towards each corner and follow the edge of the natural lip line. </p> <p>The color can be filled over the lips with a lip brush in slow, deliberate strokes and lipstick that has a formulation for transfer-resistant color stays for a longer time. </p> <p>If the lip pencil is chilled in the fridge for a few minutes before application, it glides on smoothly and the outlining of the lips is easier. </p> <p>Lip conditioners used in lipsticks give it longer staying powder and are ideal for party wear or all daywear too, while keeping the lips moist and nourished for hours. </p> <p>After the first application is over, the lips must be stretched and the liner repeated lightly again, blotted with a tissue and lip color re-applied with a lip brush for a no-budge, no-smudge, luscious lip wear. </p> <p>Making the mouth round as an 'o' prevents lip color from spreading onto the teeth. </p> <p>Liners and gloss are best avoided for a lip that is too full, but just a hint of lacquer brings a glow to the face. </p> <h3>Lipstick Tip Submiited by Visitors </h3> <p> Go over your lipstick with an ice cube for lasting results.</p> <p> When applying lip gloss, or lipstick, apply lip balm or chapstick first.</p> <p> To make lips pink take lip balm and brush with softly to your lips.</p> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --><br /><br /><br /><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->way2successhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16876938086887038581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336107850212933472.post-82918626651708816262009-04-25T20:25:00.001+03:002009-04-25T20:27:27.543+03:00How to Stay Safe at the Nail Salon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://z.about.com/d/beauty/1/C/J/1/Opi.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 55px; height: 84px;" src="http://z.about.com/d/beauty/1/C/J/1/Opi.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />While the chances you'll get an infection at a nail salon are pretty low, it takes only one to make you wish you were more cautious in selecting a salon. Risks include nail fungus, bacterial infections, plantar's warts and even herpes. <p> To insure you're safe, make sure your salon follows the following procedures and make sure you know what to watch for. </p><h3>Don't Get Those Cuticles Cut</h3> Your cuticles naturally protect your nail bed from bacteria. Since that's their purpose, it's<br />best they be left alone or pushed back with an orange stick with its tip covered in a piece of cotton. <h3>Salon Visits Should Never Be Painful </h3> If your manicure or pedicure hurts, make sure to tell the technician. At no time should the procedure hurt or sting. <h3> Bring Your Own Tools to the Salon </h3> It's a great idea to purchase your own nail tools, both steel instruments (clean them with hydrogen peroxide) and non-metal tools. Files, buffers, nail brushes and orange sticks are made of porous materials, which more easily harbor bacteria. Since wood products can't be sterilized, these tools should be used only once.<br /><h3>Beware These Tools at Your Salon </h3> Don't allow credo blades, razors, callus graters and cuticle cutters to be used during a visit. Again, these can cut skin allowing bacteria to enter. <h3> Look Around for Warning Signs</h3> Glance around the salon. If there is dust, debris or clippings on the floor or caught in corners, that's a warning sign that cleanliness is not of upmost importance. <p> Also look for the salon's license, which should be posted on the wall along with the technician's licenses. </p><h3> Check Into Proper Sterilization Techniques </h3> Many salons use UV sterilizers, which look like toaster ovens, to sterilize tools. These won't kill bacteria. <p> The best way to sterilize tools is with an autoclave or disinfectant labeled "tuberculocidal." Disinfectant is the turquoise-colored water in glasses usually kept at stations. If you're really concerned about sterilization, ask to see the bottle the disinfectant comes in and make sure it's properly labeled. </p><p> Still concerned? Get your manis and pedis done a medi-spas, which are overseen by a physician. </p><h3>Are Footbaths an Infection Risk?</h3> Foot baths in salons are a debatable as a health risk. According to Kevin Winthrop, MD, in a 2002 article on WebMD, you're not likely to get an infection from a footbath because salon technicians clean them after every use. <p> But some experts state simply cleaning footbaths after every use is not safe enough. They believe debris caught in the mesh catch under the drain can be a health hazard. They suggest salons use plastic liners or Hefty bags in their footbaths. </p><p> So what should you watch for? Footbaths should be washed with hot, soapy water and sprayed with a disinfectant after each use, according to an article on nail salon saftey in the December, 2006, issue of Self Magazine. </p><p> Really concerned? Bring your own tub liner. </p><h3> How to Wage a Complaint </h3> If you suspect that your salon is violating your state's laws, you can file a complaint with your state's cosmetology licensing board.

Always remember that practice makes perfect, ladies.</p> <p>The secret of the “tricky” <a title="liquid eyeliner" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/how-to-apply-liquid-eyeliner-flawlessly/">liquid eyeliner</a> lies in the mastering of few techniques that we will graciously share with you just days before the hottest part of the summer.<span id="more-1504"></span></p> <h2>Proper make-up foundation</h2> <p>You need to give a base coat of foundation and <a title="powder" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/how-to-apply-powder-foundation-properly/">powder</a> for the eye make-up to adhere to. Even if you don’t want to wear foundation, just apply it to your eyes and always use liquid eyeliner after <a title="eye shadow" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/how-to-choose-and-match-the-perfect-eye-shadows-with-the-color-of-your-eye/">eye shadow</a> application.</p> <p>The foundation is needed so that it can even the color of the <a title="skin" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/category/skin/">skin</a> around the eyes and create a smooth, oil-free surface for the make-up.</p> <p>We strongly recommend that before applying the eyeliner, you slightly sweep the lightest shade across the entire area from lash line to brow. For your eyes, select eye shadows in compatible shades – you cannot go wrong with a pretty shade of white, pink, beige or peach, no matter what your skin tone is.</p><h2>Choosing a brush</h2> <p>Forget about the thick brushes. It takes a professional to handle them properly and even they use them mostly in <a title="body" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/category/body/">body</a> art. You will achieve a far more precise and fine eye line, if you use a thin brush.</p> <p>There is a wide variety of products and brands on the market so you are free to experiment with something new and compact such as liner brush.</p> <p>Liner brush is an extremely thin and flat brush with thick and short <a title="hair" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/category/hair/">hair</a> span. Its resemblance to the drawing brushes, used by artists, turns make-up application into an easy and somewhat artistic experience.</p> <p>However, this brush requires a more specific type of eye shadows –those that are long-lasting with a creamy structure and have the effect of the regular liquid liner. These shades come in a variety of nuances and can be found in almost every cosmetic store.</p> <h2>And finally…</h2> <p>Bring your eyes to a half-open state when you apply the liner as this is the only way to prevent the tremor of the eyelid muscle.</p> <p>You do not need to try and apply the liquid liner all in one long line. It is highly recommended that you follow the Triple Technique, instead of spending half an hour in front of the mirror in timid attempts to sweep the brush across your eye lid.</p> <p>The Triple Technique consists in painting a few small dashes onto the lash line, the inner, middle and outer corner then going back and connecting them.</p> <p>If needed, go back and repeat the lines.</p> <p>If you are trying to achieve the cat eye look – starting at the inner corner of your eye, slowly draw a thin line across your eyelid and extend that line past your lash line.</p> <p>If you use brush liner to apply all of the abovementioned techniques, you will also achieve a sexy look, but with a far more natural effect.</p> <p>Regardless of your choice of products, don’t be afraid to experiment in the privacy of your own home.way2successhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16876938086887038581noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336107850212933472.post-49656790867535738542009-04-11T19:56:00.001+02:002009-04-11T20:00:27.083+02:00Acne<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/acne-scars.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 434px; height: 277px;" src="http://www.beauty-advices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/acne-scars.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Acne is a <a title="skin" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/category/skin/">skin</a> condition characterized by plugged pores, inflamed <a title="pimples" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/how-to-get-rid-of-pimples-and-how-to-treat-pimples/">pimples</a> and deeper lumps that can appear on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. The disorder is most common throughout the teenage years when appearance is of particular importance. <a title="Acne" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/acne/">Acne</a> is rarely a serious medical condition, but it often causes emotional distress and can be upsetting to the patient. <p>The reason acne occurs is the sensitivity of the <a title="body" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/category/body/">body</a> towards the increased level of the male hormone testosterone, which is present in both males and females. This stimulates the oil (sebaceous) glands of the skin to enlarge and produce and excess amount of sebum (oil) – natural substance, which lubricates and protects the skin.<span id="more-1511"></span></p> <p>At the same time, acne occurs when <a title="hair" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/category/hair/">hair</a> follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells that dissociate from the inside surface of the sebaceous glands. The sebum produced by these glands accumulates with the dead skin cells in the follicle and solidify as a soft plug. This plug may cause the follicle to bulge and produce a whitehead or it may be open to the surface and darken, causing a “blackhead”. The sebum stimulates bacteria, which live on everyone’s skin and generally cause no problems, to multiply and cause surrounding tissues to become inflamed. Inflammation near the skin’s surface produces a pustule; deeper inflammation results in a papule (pimple); deeper blockages and inflammations inside follicles produce lumps beneath the surface of the skin called cysts.</p> <p>Certain medications, such as oral contraceptives, antibiotics and corticosteroids can aggravate the condition of the acne. For some women, acne can be an indication of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or hormonal imbalance, which can lead to abnormal menstrual periods, sterility, excess hair-growth and overweight.</p> <h2>How to avoid scaring or other damage to the skin</h2> <p>Don’t pick or squeeze blemishes as this might cause infection or scarring. <a title="Cleanse" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/facial-cleansing/">Cleanse</a> the skin with a soft cotton pad, dipped in herbal infusion or ethereal oils. Touch your skin only if your hands are clean.</p><h2>PROPHYLACTICS</h2> <p>You can avoid or control acne with good basic skin care and the following self-care techniques:</p> <p><a title="Wash" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/how-to-wash-your-face-properly/">Wash</a> problem areas with a mild cleansing bar or a gentle lotion that doesn’t dry the skin. Of the many available brands, oil-free, water-based moisturizers are generally a better choice.<br />Ultraviolet (UV) rays in moderation are good for your skin as they can cure acne. However, keep in mind that during summer it is recommended that you avoid exposure to the sun in the period 10:00AM – 15:00PM.<br />Carefully choose your skin products – avoid oily or greasy sunscreens, hair-styling products or skin products that contain benzoyl peroxide. Ensure that the products are labeled “noncomedogenic” or “water-based”.<br />Try to decrease <a title="general" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/category/general/">general</a> <a title="sweating" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/excessive-sweating-we-all-hate-it/">sweating</a> – don’t stay in places that are too hot and wear fabrics that allow the skin to “breathe”.<br />Avoid consuming too much salt with your food. Salt causes the cells to loose water, which can aggravate the condition of the acne.<br />Apply <a id="KonaLink0" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/acne/#"><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" ><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" >tea </span><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" >tree </span><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" >oil</span></span></a> directly on the blemishes on a daily basis. If the oil is too concentrated, you can dissolve it in water.<br />Keep your hair clean and off your face. Also avoid resting your hands or objects on your face. Some hair products such as hair-gel and hair-spray can be the reason for the condition in specific facial areas (the forehead). Stop using them for a couple of weeks to see how it affects the acne.</p> <h2>TREATMENT</h2> <p>Aromatherapy: Some ethereal oils control the production of sebum. Amongst them are the Cedar Cone oil (not recommended during pregnancy) and the Atlantic White Cedar (should be avoided during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy). Lavender and geranium oils have antiseptic and <a id="KonaLink1" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/acne/#"><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" ><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" >healing</span></span></a> qualities, while those of camomile and bergamot reduce inflammation. Try the following procedures:<br />Add 2 drops of Cedar Cone and 2 drops of Atlantic White Cedar oil in a glass of water. Apply the mixture on the skin every 2 hours.<br />Add 2 drops of Juniper oil to a table-spoon of Jojoba or Sweet Almond oil and stir. Apply directly on the problematic skin areas.<br />Add 2 drops of Bergamot and 2 drops of Atlantic White Cedar to 5 tea-spoons of Jojoba oil. Add the same mixture of oils to a face-cleansing lotion. Apply the oil mixture in the evening and the lotion – in the morning.</p> <h2>ACNE AND DIET</h2> <p>It is proven that acne is not caused by foods. However, it would be wise to keep a diary of the consumed foods throughout the day to <a title="determine" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/how-to-determine-your-skin-type/">determine</a> whether some of them can cause acne.<br />Some women experience acne if eating chocolate just before their menstrual period.</p> <p>Generally people who suffer from acne have less <a id="KonaLink2" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/acne/#"><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" ><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" >vitamin</span></span></a> A in their blood, which is why foods rich in vitamin A and ?-Carotin are highly recommended. However, any vitamin intake should be closely monitored by a health care specialist.</p> <h2>HERBAL THERAPY</h2> <p>Mix dried roots from Dandelion, Burdock, Nettle, Yarrow and Echinacea and prepare a potion. Drink 1 glass once or twice a day.<br />Boil up 2-3 tea-spoons dried basil in a glass of water.

The truth is that green tea isn�t going to miraculously turn you from an ugly duckling to a supermodel overnight. But it can do these things: </span></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;">It helps your gums stay healthy so your teeth don�t fall out.<br />It prevents cavities and bad breath.<br />It helps you look young by smoothing out your wrinkles and by reducing damage to your skin from UV rays.<br />And it helps you lose weight.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;"><span>Now, lest you think these things aren�t important, think about this: when was <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;font-family:Arial,Verdana,Tahoma;font-size:12;" class="IL_LINK_STYLE" >the last time</span> you saw an overweight person with black teeth, missing teeth, wrinkles, and bad breath, and thought, �Man, they�re HOT!�</span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;">I think I�ve made my point.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;">It�s all true, though, I�m not making this up. It turns out that humble old green tea can do all kinds of wonderful things for you to help keep you beautiful. </span></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;">Here are some of the things that green tea researchers have found:</span></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;"><span>Acids and bacteria in your mouth are the main causes of <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;font-family:Arial,Verdana,Tahoma;font-size:12;" class="IL_LINK_STYLE" >periodontal disease</span> (soft, bleeding gums). Green tea contains �catechins.� Catechins keep the acids in check and they prevent the bacteria from reproducing. The result: your gums stay nice and healthy and pink, and your teeth stay in. </span><br />Cavities and bad breath are caused by the same things (acids and bacteria)... So the catechins in green tea fight cavities and bad breath, as well.<br />The Vitamin C in green tea helps your gums heal.<br />Catechins aren�t just for killing bacteria and getting rid of acids. They also reactivate dying skin cells! That makes them very good for smoothing out wrinkles.<br />Green tea contains anti-oxidants (cancer-fighters) that reduce the damage that the UV light in normal sunlight does to your skin. This slows down the aging process and helps you look younger, longer.<br /><span>Finally, if you�re like 2/3 of people in �modern� society, you�re concerned about your weight. Well, green tea can help you keep it under control. It�s those darned catechins, again. They help decrease body fat and speed up fat oxidation. Studies also show that the theanine and <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;font-family:Arial,Verdana,Tahoma;font-size:12;" class="IL_LINK_STYLE" >caffeine in green tea</span> combine to help keep your body from making more body fat. </span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;"><span>Of course, you have to use <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;font-family:Arial,Verdana,Tahoma;font-size:12;" class="IL_LINK_STYLE" >common sense</span> with this. You can�t suck on lollipops all day long and drink a cup of green tea and expect it to protect you from cavities. Likewise, you can�t eat a steady diet of doughnuts and pork products and just drink a cup of green tea and expect to not get fat. </span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;"><span>The best way to go is to take care of yourself by eating right, exercising, <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;font-family:Arial,Verdana,Tahoma;font-size:12;" class="IL_LINK_STYLE" >brushing your teeth</span>... Yada, yada, you�ve heard this all before. But you might want to add a new habit to all of that.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;">You can start drinking green tea every day. A little green tea drinking session can be your you-time. Your time to relax. Your time to refresh yourself. Not only will it help you stay sane, but it may help you stay beautiful. </span></p>way2successhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16876938086887038581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336107850212933472.post-43659111199131426482009-04-03T15:26:00.001+02:002009-04-03T15:31:51.095+02:00Eye Cosmetic Safety<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFuR1N7YNKsU62XN8G-j0Wgrmrgps3QjIL3pNG4-gvd5kj18Nlak33aB3c9yLUZL7EZiEaHJG5aT2u7zOtQvibmGhtLcp_FzovmuEKIB7KoQasIiAE9TcRtlgmvDWowxnxfPf5wBV7vqU/s1600-h/conseils_03_00_01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Your <a title="fragrance" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/perfumes-for-all-seasons-how-to-match-your-fragrance-to-your-mood/">fragrance</a> can say a lot about who you are- whether you are a shy romantic or the life of the party. Some women choose a signature sense and wear it regularly, no matter what the occasion or season of the year. Other women prefer to have an assortment of choices in their perfume collection and they choose a particular <a id="KonaLink0" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/perfumes-for-all-seasons-how-to-match-your-fragrance-to-your-mood/#"><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" ><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:12;" >scent</span></span></a> according to their mood, the occasion or just on a whim. There are no hard and fast rules regarding perfumes, but some fragrances are more suitable to particular occasions than others are.</p> <p>One way to begin the process of choosing a new perfume is to consider the season of the year. Perfumes react to the environment and will behave differently according to the time of year.</p> <h2><strong>Summer Perfumes</strong></h2> <p>• In the hot summer weather, your perfume will evaporate quickly. You can counteract this by choosing a light, airy fragrance and applying it more often. Summertime is perfect for light florals or citrus scents. Stay away from anything too heavy or overpowering in the summertime. Those types of scents are better suited to winter wear.</p><h2>Winter Wear</h2> <p>• Cold winter air will cause your perfume to react in the opposite manner- it will cling longer and evaporate more slowly. Winter is a perfect time to choose a richer, fuller fragrance. It will develop more slowly and last much longer than the same perfume will when worn on a hot day. Warmer, intimate scents like musk and deep, rich spicy tones are the perfect addition to a winter wardrobe.</p> <h2>Springtime is in the Air</h2> <p>• Spring and autumn are transitional seasons and your perfume should reflect that. In the spring, we are surrounded with reminders of new life bursting forth and perfumes can join in this celebration. Try choosing a light floral or tangy citrus scent to express the joy of this season.</p> <h2>Autumn Aromas</h2> <p>• In the autumn, life begins to settle down and the long, beautiful evenings are a time to reflect and relax. This is the perfect time to begin the transition between the light summer perfumes and the deeper richer aromas of wintertime wear. Perfumes with a light undercurrent of spice or cinnamon are perfect for the fall. You can increase the intensity of the fragrance as the weather turns colder.</p> <h2>Match Your Perfume to the Occasion</h2> <p>You can also match your perfume choice to the occasion. No matter what you are doing, a light scent of a beautiful perfume can enhance the impression you leave with those around you.</p> <h2>In the Office</h2> <p>• For everyday office wear, stick to a sophisticated, yet light scents. Florals and fruity aromas work well, but choose lighter intensities and use a light hand when you apply them. Many people have strong sensitivities and allergies to perfumes and in an office setting; the combination of many different perfumes can lead to headaches or nausea.</p> <h2>Date Night Fragrances</h2> <p>• When it’s time to go out on the town or on that special date, Orientals and woodsy perfumes add an air of mystery and seduction. Speaking of seductive scents, scientists have shown that scents with a base of vanilla, basil or cinnamon have a more seductive draw than heavier musks.</p> <h2>Calming Perfumes</h2> <p>• For those times when you want to relax and stay calm, lavender and vanilla bases bring serenity and tranquility to the forefront of your emotions.</p> <h2>Weddings and Celebrations</h2> <p>• Weddings and other celebratory ceremonies are perfect occasions to wear your favorite florals. Again, however, remember that there will be many women present, all wearing different scents. Go easy on the perfume and reapply a light spritz more often.</p> <p>Perfumes are a fun way to express yourself and your mood. You can wear your favorites whenever you like, but by considering these tips, you can match your fragrance to the season or the occasion with a little more ease.way2successhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16876938086887038581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336107850212933472.post-72267877988280136152009-03-25T10:04:00.001+02:002009-03-25T10:07:04.591+02:00Patterns Gone Wild: The Hottest Shorts of 2008<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.totalhair.net/articles/fashion-style/qtr2-08/images/thumbs/women-short-shorts-dt_2423343.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 299px;" src="http://www.totalhair.net/articles/fashion-style/qtr2-08/images/thumbs/women-short-shorts-dt_2423343.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span class="body">There was a time when plaid was the last thing in the world you would see on the runway, but ladies, today is not that day. In the summer of 2008, shorts are going plaid, checked and just plain color crazy. From boys designs to girls designs, the color is as important this summer as the cut!<br /><br />A few of the coolest cuts include:<br /><br />• The Bermuda – The Bermuda short is both comfortable and flattering. The stripes allow for a thinner look of the leg.<br /><br />• The Mini-Skirt – Yes, I said it. The mini-skirt is in again this year. The short short provided a lot of lean lines for those with great legs, but they tend to take away from the overall look of the leg. So, the mini-skirt is the best choice for all those Tina Turners out there.<br /><br />• The Short Short – To go back on what I just said, the short short is still in style this year, but keep it with the youngest of wearers. Young girls can pull of the short shorts with a short sleeved fitted shirt with no problem.<br /><br />No matter the cut of the bottom, the color is what matters. Plaids are in as are bright colorful designs. The more color you put in the bottom of the outfit the more flair for those beach house rendezvous. Think color, think cut, think style and make a statement this summer with color.<br /></span>way2successhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16876938086887038581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336107850212933472.post-36578870709051288452009-03-25T10:02:00.001+02:002009-03-25T10:04:51.680+02:00What are Spring 2009 Fashion Trends?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.totalhair.net/articles/fashion-style/qtr1-09/images/thumbs/29396PCN_Cox39.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 293px;" src="http://www.totalhair.net/articles/fashion-style/qtr1-09/images/thumbs/29396PCN_Cox39.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span class="body">The true fashionista knows that when you are lining up your next season’s wardrobe to align with the trends, you need to follow suit with what the runways are telling you. True, runway collections are generally shown almost three seasons ahead of time, so it is easy to forget what the designers saw ahead for us last Fall when the Spring collections were shown. Fret not, use this handy guide as a refresher on what Spring trends for 2009 should look like as you begin to prepare your closet space.<br />Color palettes on the Spring runways were vivid. Think jewel tones with a bit of a push. This Spring’s fashionista is going to be a strong woman and reflect that in her color tones. Go bold with bright blues, fuschia, bold yellows and bright greens. These colors WILL dominate and add instant freshness to your outfit. What a way to climb out of the winter blahs!<br />When you are thinking garment structure, designs modeling futuristic motifs lead the packs on the runway. Look for eccentric cuts and lines, asymmetric shapes, and toned down metallics. Go metallic by night in matte golds and silvers, and let your bright colors dominate the days.<br />And if you like the asymmetry trend, you will be happy to know that one is not leaving any time soon. You will find this in tops, dresses, skirts, necklines, and even shoulder lines. The one shoulder dress is sticking around, and you know that is because it reveals just enough to maintain the balance between sexy and elegant. The beautiful thing about the one shoulder is there is NO figure this silhouette does not flatter.<br />You are also going to see a lot of ethnic influence in Spring 2009 trends. Designers are getting inspired by the exotic destinations they get to visit, so you will see this in bold patterns, animal print, and big floral influences. These are married with a softness and femininity that balances each trend. Designers Diane von Furstenberg, Emanuel Ungaro and Duro Olowu have managed to capture this essence in their collections with a sense of exotic that you simply can not ignore this Spring.<br />When you are choosing your Spring wardrobe, let this year’s trends be a lesson to you. The Spring fashion trends this year are all about giving up the old and bringing in the new. Any fears you had about trying trends are to be tossed out with your Spring cleaning. Go bold with big bold colors, in cuts and lines that are structured and contemporary. And, don’t be afraid to let a little animal love into your life.

You can save time and money by giving yourself and family members those touch-up haircuts between visits to the real hairdresser.<br /><br />Did you ever make paper dolls or cut patterns in paper? It is as easy this to trim hair. A trim is simply cutting off the ends of small lengths of hair. Anyone can trim bangs or hair between hair salon visits. There are just three things you need to know in order to do a professional - looking touch-up between cuts.<br /><br />First, always use extremely sharp scissors. The type of shears you use is not that important as long as they are razor sharp. To test the sharpness of the shear, hold a piece of thread in one hand and let it dangle in the air. If your scissors can cut through this with ease without pulling the other end to make it taut, then they are probably sharp enough to trim hair.<br /><br />Second, prepare the hair first by thoroughly combing or brushing out all the snarls and tangles. Thick hair and long hair may need to be wet first. Make sure no hairs are hidden behind the ears or nape of the neck.<br /><br />Lastly, always remember to cut off less hair than what you want the finished length to be. Hair will shrink after being trimmed, especially if it is wet when you trim it. Curly hair, "cowlicks" (erratic hair growth), and bangs will shrink the most.<br /><br />If you are trimming short hair, don't be afraid to bend the ears while cutting. Ears are flexible. If you are trimming your own hair, be sure you have a mirror for the front and another for the back. When finished trimming the hair, shave the remaining hair off the back of the neck with a razor or small clippers. Sometimes this simple step is all that is necessary to maintain a well groomed appearance between haircuts.way2successhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16876938086887038581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336107850212933472.post-6344730983624241552009-03-23T18:22:00.002+02:002009-03-23T18:25:45.685+02:00Top 5 Beauty Myths You Need to Recognize<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXP7rGPSkFr3Edk3csTWVqELKOliQitzCaiS9_3iEkAdAOBiMXZHAIq92-THGGAKbEDmKMx2YQnMZmlcC6ON6Axi8ii4mfPwxpHa4uNr6dFeTyuZDw5sdNh8EaxQrtk1RG5WlrUWm1jE/s1600-h/bobbymn070500009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 168px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXP7rGPSkFr3Edk3csTWVqELKOliQitzCaiS9_3iEkAdAOBiMXZHAIq92-THGGAKbEDmKMx2YQnMZmlcC6ON6Axi8ii4mfPwxpHa4uNr6dFeTyuZDw5sdNh8EaxQrtk1RG5WlrUWm1jE/s400/bobbymn070500009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316420183629361858" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span class="body">There are beauty secrets and then there are beauty myths. It is the beauty myths that fuel the market. Beauty manufacturers will take these myths and play off them in order to trick women into buying a product or service they normally would not buy. Let�s cut out the crap and get down to the myths you no longer need to believe.<br /><br />Myth 1 � Laser Hair Removal and Fair Haired Maiden<br />If you have fair hair you may have been told you cannot get laser hair removal. That is simply not the case. Gray hair lacks pigment and thus cannot be lasered, but that means nothing in regards to blonde hair. Blonde hair on every spot of the body can be lasered and effectively with up to a 90% loss of hair! Yeah!<br /><br />Myth 2 � Leaving the Lemon to Hair Lightning<br /><br />I read online the other day that rubbing lemon juice on your teeth will make them whiter. Ha! Who wants to rub acid on their teeth enamel? Lemon juice is citric acid and just like any other acid it eats and eats. In this case, the enamel on your teeth. Not a great idea ladies!<br /><br />Myth 3 � Organic is Only for Food<br /><br />Not! The skin needs vitamins and nutrients too. If you had to choose between that chemical rich, processed facial cream and one that was created with organic, natural ingredients, which would you choose? Uh, the natural one!<br /><br />Myth 4 � Fake Nails Kill Real Nails<br /><br />Ladies, this is not true, plain and simple. The artificial nails used on your fingertips are not what is to blame for nail damage. The glue used to attach the artificial nails to your root nail is not to blame for the damage. So, what is to blame? Your nerves! That�s right, the damage done by artificial nails has nothing to do with the nail itself, but with the removal process. Picking, biting, peeling and eating off those nails causes the damage.<br /><br />Myth 5 � Cutting Hair Often Makes Hair Grow Faster<br /><br />Though many women with slower hair growth wish this were true, it is a MYTH! Your hair will naturally go through cycles of growth and cycles of shedding. No matter how many times you cut your hair, it will not grow any faster. But, keep cutting and Britney Spears may give you a call to have lunch with her.</span>way2successhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16876938086887038581noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336107850212933472.post-73515220001787310902009-03-18T20:43:00.002+02:002009-03-18T20:43:55.605+02:00Home Mask For Weak And Dry Hair<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/home-mask-for-weak-hair.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 269px;" src="http://www.beauty-advices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/home-mask-for-weak-hair.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />A good remedy for weak and <a title="dry hair" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/how-to-treat-dry-hair-properly/">dry hair</a> is the <a title="hair mask" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/professional-hair-masks-the-best-remedy-for-lifeless-and-damaged-hair/">hair mask</a> with lemon juice.

On a dry <a title="skin" href="http://www.beauty-advices.com/category/skin/">skin</a> the face powder clogs the pores making them visible. However, on an oily skin powder doesn’t last long.</li></ul> <ul><li> When choosing a nuance, remember that brighter shades are not face-flattering. Bright colors accentuate wrinkles and signs of tiredness.</li></ul> <p>Our advice: apply a small amount of foundation in the chin area, which is close to your natural skin tone. Fixate it with a sponge by gently tapping on. Then apply powder in a peach-pink nuance with a big brush.</p> <ul><li> Don’t restrict the foundation application only to the chin area. This will result in an unnatural effect of a mask.</li></ul> <p>The trick is to use a damp makeup sponge and apply the foundation starting from the neck and going up. After that tap off excess foundation for fixation and do not apply any powder on top.</p> <p><span id="more-1609"></span></p> <ul><li> Applying eyeliner on the inner rims of the eyes doesn’t make them look bigger. On the contrary - it makes them smaller and less sparkling.</li></ul> <p>To add depth to the eyes put tiny dots at the base of the eyelashes on both eyelids and then join them up. Ideally the line should always be applied as close to the base of the eyelashes as possible and accentuated with eyeliner.</p> <ul><li> Don’t apply rouge cr?me after face powder.</li></ul> <p>This would result in two bright spots on your cheeks.

There are many colors and tools to experiment. Find your look and remember, applying make-up is an art which makes you look your best. </p> <p>Start with a clean face. </p> <p>Apply the foundation with your fingers or a Q-tip in dots in areas of your face. With a cosmetic sponge, spread the foundation until it is well-blended into the skin. Be sure to check and make sure that you do not have any lines showing underneath the chin area. </p> <p>Next, you will need to apply concealer to any blemishes or under-eye circles that you may have. You can use a shade lighter than you skin-tone. When applying concealer to the undereye area, pat gently into the skin and do not rub. Using your finger, pat the concealer into the skin on the blemish areas also until you can no longer see the concealer. </p> <p>Now it is time to set the previous applications by applying translucent face powder. Get out a big, fluffy powder brush and dip it into some loose facial powder. You can then apply the powder over your entire face. </p><p> Use a lip pencil to outline the lips and make them stand out. The next step will be to apply lipstick with a lip brush. A lip brush makes the lipstick look professionally applied. If you put the lipstick on first, it will set the scene for applying your other make up. </p> <p>Apply a neutral color eye shadow over the lid and up to the eyebrow. Next put a lighter shade on the brow bone and blend it in. Use a blending brush to sweep softly over the lid to blend the shadow in well. Next, apply the eye liner. The best way to line the eye be to use an eye pencil and draw a line underneath the lashes. Take a Q-tip or a liner pencil and blend the liner to get a smoky affect. Last of all, pay special attention to your eyelashes. Use an eyelash curler and curl the lashes for a few seconds. This will open up your eyes and make them look more beautiful than ever. At this point, apply a coat of mascara to the upper lashes and then the lower lashes. A second coat may be used but let the first coat dry first. </p> <p>Blush colour should match the colour of your cheeks after exercise. When selecting colours (particularly foundation) this should be done in daylight to give you the truest picture. </p> <p>Always blend your make up in well to avoid streaks. Make sure you cleanse your face well before applying any makeup, this ensures an even look all over. Keep brushes clean by washing them in warm water and soap. It is worth investing in a selection of good quality brushes as this will save you time and effort in the long run. Do not use any make up that you have had for over 2 years - it is a false economy and will be hard if not impossible to achieve a natural look. </p>way2successhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16876938086887038581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336107850212933472.post-35731277341772693252009-03-10T20:25:00.001+02:002009-03-10T20:26:35.973+02:00Combination Skin Care Tips<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.totalhair.net/articles/beauty/qtr1-08/images/thumbs/combination-skin-care.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 202px;" src="http://www.totalhair.net/articles/beauty/qtr1-08/images/thumbs/combination-skin-care.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span class="body">Combination skin is one of the hardest skin types to care for and treat. The dreaded �T� zone of facial skin, offers double trouble for those trying to treat both dry and oily skin at the same time. Generally, a �T� zone references the forehead, nose and chin being oily and the cheeks being dry. Those suffering from the taunts of combination skin need to focus a daily skin care regime that addresses both the oily and the dry characteristics.<br /><br />Facial moisturizers are the easiest choice when planning a facial skin care regime for combination skin. The �T�zone areas can be treated with an oil-free moisturizer. This moisturizer will work a dual function and rehydrate the dry areas of the face as well. Due to the dry aspect of combination skin, moisturizers should be applied multiple times a day, making sure to remove makeup before applying moisturizer.<br /><br />Cleaning combination skin is a bit harder than moisturizing. The oily section of the face or the �T� zone will need a cleanser strong enough to remove the unwanted extra oil on the face. But, this cleanser will remove too much oil to be used on the dry sections of the face. The solution is easier than you think.<br /><br />A daily washing regime for combination skin will consist of two cleansers. The first cleanser will be appropriate for dry skin and the second for oily skin. Wash your entire face with the dry skin cleanser first and rinse. Then, wash only the �T' zone with the oily skin care cleanser. This will allow the moisture to remain in the driest parts of the face, while cleansing the oil away from the �T�zone.<br /><br />Combination skin is often characterized with larger than normal pores, as well. These pores, when not treated properly, remain open after washing and showering and trap dirt and dust when they close. This dirt and dust, over time, will result in blemishes on the face. Using two astringent solution after washing the face or showering will help to close the pores on the face before they have the chance to trap any dirt and dust.<br /><br />As with the previous method, clean the entire face with a dry skin astringent and follow up on the �T� zone areas with an astringent created for oily skin.<br /><br />Combination skin requires a combination of methods to retain beauty and evenness. By utilizing a great oil free moisturizer and treating each section of the face for the problem at hand, will result in smooth skin sure to please.</span>way2successhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16876938086887038581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336107850212933472.post-12048340137399658922009-03-10T20:21:00.001+02:002009-03-10T20:24:56.967+02:00Celebrity Beauty Tip--Pouty Lips<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.totalhair.net/articles/beauty/qtr4-07/images/thumbs/pouty-lips-adriana-lima.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 219px;" src="http://www.totalhair.net/articles/beauty/qtr4-07/images/thumbs/pouty-lips-adriana-lima.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span class="body">Pouty lips are a trademark of celebrities and you can guarantee the look is not a natural one.

Water is a natural rehydrator which can help cleanse your body of harmful toxins as well as leave your skin feeling refreshed.<br /><br />The next step to get rid of your winter skin is to ex foliate the skin. Using a lufa or scrub you can remove your dried winter skin with one of these methods. Once you have removed the dry skin you should next rehydrate the skin from the outside in. Using a moisturizer you can replace the oils in your skin that you have washed away when you showered. After exiting the shower apply moisturizer while the skin is still wet. Do not towel dry simple pat dry.<br /><br />By following these few simple steps you can have soft supple skin this summer season. Remember to take your Omega-3, ex foliate your skin and keep well hydrated with water for a fresh rejuvenated look.

There is a spontaneity about summer that is unlike any other season. From office to pool, dinner to jacuzzi, your mascara needs to move with you without fail.
