Bright Eyes

2009-11-12T14:30:00.000-08:00

Don't let the holiday partying take its tole. Keep your eyes bright and looking wide awake, even after a long night. Use these tips and tricks to get your bright eyes bouncing back in no time. In order to wake up your eyes and avoid dark circles and puffiness from lack of sleep, try putting your eye cream in the refrigerator the night before. Let it chill over night and apply a thick layer in the morning. Remember to only apply to the orbital bone and up to the outer corner of the brow. Allow the cool cream to sit for at least twenty minutes. Try Mario Badescue Ceramide Eye Gel. Rub in your eye cream and get ready for makeup. But before you jump to concealer use Too Faced Mineral Water Pencil around the edge of the inner eye and on dark circles. The mineral water will help to hydrate your eyes, revitalizing them to their natural beauty.

Quick Trick:
Use a navy blue pencil on the inner rim to counter act reddness in the eyes.

Now you're ready to hit those Holiday Parties!!

Radiantly Ruby

2009-11-04T13:29:00.000-08:00

Ruby Red is not just for slippers anymore. This beautiful rich red seems to be popping up everywhere. It was all over the runways of the 2010 spring fashion week in Paris. Although we may be far away from Paris, we are not far behind this trend. Don't be afraid of reds anymore! Just make sure you choose the right color for your skintone.

Quick Trick:

To keep your lipstick from bleeding and lasting all day follow these simple tricks: Apply primer first, try Borderline by Too Faced. Then apply liner and lipstick. Get a tissure and separate the layers. Hold one layer lightly over your lips and dust a little bit of loose powder over the tissue. The right amount will penetrate the tissue setting your lipstick in place. Now you can apply your gloss and be radiantly ruby all day!

Is Eyelash Tinting good and safe?

2009-10-19T22:30:00.000-07:00

Eyelash tinting is a process of dying the eyelashes to make them appear darker. Eyelash colors are chosen based on the skin type and hair color, and may include shades such as black, blue, tones of brown or grey. The color of eyelashes should go well with the skin complexion. People who have a dearth of time and can't apply make-up daily or those who are sensitive to make-up products can go for tinted eyelashes. For those who wear contact lenses, tinting the eyelashes is the best form of make-up.

Time to get Ready for Halloween Make-up

2009-10-15T05:21:00.000-07:00

Is there a single other night as fun as Halloween? On that one special night all of society's normal rules are suspended. Fantasy becomes reality and everyone can become the hero of myth.

The key is to set the makeup. There are different styles of makeup for different types of costumes. A Zombie might want to bear a slightly green foundation, add in shading and use heavy eyebrows for a spookier look. A Vampire might desire a living dead look with a grey, ashen foundation. No matter how well the costume is put together, it’s nothing without the finishing touch of makeup!

There are many commercial products but nothing is cheaper and works as well as baby powder. So go for the best Beauty products which cares for your skin the same as you care for..

Energizing Your Face

2009-10-14T07:06:00.000-07:00

One of the easiest ways to reenergize your face after a long night is to take a shower. However, don’t just make this a regular shower. Before stepping in, apply a rich and creamy moisturizing facial mask or a thick layer of facial moisturizer. For the best energizing moisturizer go for Dermalogica skin care. Also add a layer of petroleum jelly to your lips. The combination of the facial mask or moisturizer with the heat of the water will cause your skin to become plump and soft. This is ideal for getting rid of creases and fine lines that can creep up on your complexion from too many late nights or those annoying lines that can appear from sleeping on your pillow. Afterwards, gently wipe off the moisturizer and petroleum jelly with a warm washcloth.

To have a truly healthy complexion, skip the foundation and powder and instead only apply blush and lipstick with rosy shades. Browns and beiges should be avoided when it comes to makeup colors since these can cause your complexion to look dull, tired, and less vibrant.
