Make up Don't Break Up

November 29th 2008 18:25
Make up or War paint
There is a lot of different beliefs regarding make-up, in my opinion less is more. When your are young mother nature has given you a beautiful wrinkle free complexion so why hide under layers of oil or water based artificial pigment. Let you natural beauty shine through remember make-up is only to improve on what was given to you at birth. I have been a fully qualified cosmetologist for about 15 years now and I have advised this to my younger clients. Teenagers through lack of confidence pile it on thinking that they will hide all their imperfections when really they had just highlighted them, you see that is what make-up is a highlighter it draws attention to the good bits. A young girl starting out a bit of lip gloss and some mascara that’s all you need. At night in your room maybe with friends practice eye shadow and blush, make sure it is a friend who will tell you the truth. I used to have make-up parties when my friends were sleeping over we had great fun, trying to improve each other or just making a monster out of each other. Give it a try girls you need to hide nothing so this is your time to shine.

Getting older it happens to us all, I am in my 30’s and noticing some new lines that were not there before. Don’t think you can fill them with make-up it does not work remember in my previous paragraph you will just highlight them. His is when you take the focus off them, pay attention to your eyes but not too heavy just define them more with eyeliner and the brow bone should be a light shade. Define your lips more with lip pencil it also stops colour bleeding. Your blush should be minimal just highlighted. When your eyebrows are perfectly tweezed, your eye shadow is applied well along with definition created with the eye pencil, your cheeks hollow highlighted with a light blush maybe some highlighter at the top of the cheek and the most perfectly defined kissable lips ever you will be giving the stars a run for their money.

Getting on a bit believe it or not you use less make-up. My most important tip is lighter shade off lipsticks is the way to go because darker shades make you look older, try it you will see for yourself. Do not fall into the trap of too much powder I call them scone ladies, you should use a base near to your skin colour, lightly defined eyes and definitely lip liner because of colour bleeding. If you follow these steps you can embrace getting older because that brings its own beauty, the kind that shines from the inside.

Hair Today Not Gone Tomorrow

November 29th 2008 18:22
Hair
It does more than keep your head warm.
Hair can show a quiet, confident, trendy etc. Person. The colours you can get nowadays are exceptional, but also remember get advice because skin tone and lifestyle plays a big part, instead of complimenting you it can go horribly wrong. Each person is a individual and therefore will suit different things. Have a good look at yourself in the mirror, notice your colour of hair especially base tones ( (the actual colour black, brown. Red, blonde) then notice the natural highlights (best seen in daylight) Hair is made from the 4 basic pigments Black, brown, red, blonde whatever pigment you have most of is your all over colour. Highlights you will notice more at the front, hair is always that bit lighter at the front because of the elements. Now that you have got that sorted out what colour should you go for.
A major change blonde – black this be a disaster if not done right. You have to use red pigment to avoid it turning green “not pretty” and the same vice versa.
Any colour can be achieved if you have got the confidence to try it and a change is as good as a holiday so go for it. Some people you have to strip the colour out of the hair completely in order to get the desired result.
Hair come under the fast growing cell category, it does not stop keeps on going as long as you do that is how when receiving chemotherapy it falls out. Chemotherapy targets fast growing cells like cancer in order to stop them and unfortunately stop the hair cells too but still a small price to pay because it usually grows back in.

Hairdreessing, Beauty & Therapy

November 29th 2008 18:17
In other words I am a Cosmetologist.

Cosmetology explained
You have you hairdresser some which are very good and unfortunately some who are very bad. Qualified hairdressers cut, perm, colour, style and are basically your confidante. Beauticians on the other hand manicure, pedicure, give facials, wax and again are your confidante.
Cosmetology incorporates the 2 but cosmetologists have to know anatomy, contra indications of certain treatments, We can do various massages and I have also been blessed with healing capabilities, the chemical reactions that happens during procedures etc and of course your confidante but anything you tell a cosmetologist is sacred we have signed the official secrets act so you will always be secure in the knowledge whatever you say will not go any further.
We are not doctors and cannot help you with medical procedures. We can advise you best course of action if it includes anything that we can do for you. It is only advice though always back it up with your doctor.
Cosmetologists want the best for you we will not sell you any lotions or potions because the human race is so diverse you are already using the right cream etc. The stuff we use can only be used by trained professionals.
We can advise on skin conditions, hair conditions, skin and hair procedures, make-up and maintenance to name but a few. You can be secure in the knowledge that you are in good hands we want the best for you and you alone. Cosmetologist’s love the human form and are always amazed at the way it can heal it’s self. You will always have a good friend someone you can talk to, confide in and lean on.

Guys, is the fear that your moobs may resemble upside down icebergs in the near future keeping you awake at night? Do you fear to jog on the street because there is a small earthquake where your chest should be? Or do you simply think it’s sexist that only women should be allowed to wear bras and men aren’t– after all, men were the ones that invented the skirts, right?

Wish Room Man Bra
OK - I don't know if this guy is embarrassed about his sagging moobs or he's staunchly refusing to wear the bra


Well, fear no more because a Japanese company has come up with a brilliant idea to keep your moobs in check. Now, you can do your step aerobics with great enthusiasm, walk around with your chest out with no fear of jiggling and feel darn-right attractive in the process. That’s right, men, Wish Room has heeded your wishes and come up with the men’s premium brassiere, the Man Bra.

Wish Room Man Bra
A variety of colours in The Man Bra - ooh la la!


The bra comes in two sizes (A85cm and A90cm) and you can choose between three attractive colours. Feeling virginal? The white bra will have you covered. What about adding a touch of, er, feminity? Go for pink. And to complement any evening wear, black is the way to go. The bra straps are adjustable, look oh-so-comfortable and, above all, offer all the support you and your precious man boobs need. Just ask the guy in the picture.
Wish Room Man Bra


So no more embarrassment about getting naked in bed because, trust me, when you flash your Man Bra, your sagging moobs will be the last thing on your partner’s mind.

The bra costs 2800 Yen (AUD$45) so what are you waiting for? Get your dad or grandfather what he REALLY wants for Christmas.

Men opting for women's hairstyles

Zac Effron
Zac Effron - teen hearthrob with a swoop fringe popular among women
I remember having to constantly fight with my bro for bathroom time when we were teenagers. Not because he took too long in the shower (which he did) or too long shaving (which he did) or too long staring at himself in the mirror (which he did). But because to him, doing up his hair was an hour-long art complete with hairsprays, gels and a hairdryer. When I finally got into the bathroom, it was into a grey haze of chemicals and heat that knocked me out once or twice.

Now it seems I would have to re-live that again if my bun in the oven turns out to be a son. It seems men are becoming bored with their hairstyles. After sporting bowl cuts, shaved heats, crew cuts, etc, men, according to Kenneth Frost, a leading international hairstylist, now want to exercise their artistic abilities on their more feminine haircuts. We’re talking long manes, wavy, coloured, spiked, the works. Frost is in India for the month of July, ‘educating’ the locals on how to wear their hair through a series of interactive workshops with a special focus on men’s longer and more feminine hairstyles.

At last I have found a natural beauty range that won't require any real estate as collateral. Natural Instinct makes a huge array of products ranging from conditioner to dish washing liquid that doesn't contain any chemicals or animal derivatives. All that practicality for a bargain price of $20 a litre, you can slap it on all year round, a little more clean, a little more pure, and a little more prosperous.

The Aesop You & Your Dog Cleansing Kit is one of the most bizarrely adorable playthings I've come across. For dog lovers who always wanted to smell like their dogs, and vice versa, this product is for you. The pack comes in a little red (or green) box which includes two massive bottles: one for the two legged and one for the quadruped.

Of all the ridiculous products that cram our shelves right now. Of all the gimmicks that try to pry our hungry hands away from our hard earned cash. Of all the marketing tricks and packaging tactics of the beauty industry. We will all be tempted to give in to some of these fads once in a while.

Looking at the Philosophy shower range, it is difficult to resist paying a ridiculous dollop of money for a plastic bottle filled with fragrance enhanced soap. It's hard to forsake yummy names like "Gingerbread Man", "Frozen Lemon Custard", and "Waffle Cone" and the incredibly realistic scents of these soap products.

As consumer demands, economic conditions, and medical skills dramatically increased in Asia, there has been a huge wave ofcosmetic surgery among teenagers; the target market is getting dangerously young.

This is especially common in South Korea.Seoul has long been notorious as "the" place to go for a slice of beauty. The kids are not knifing themselves behind their parent's backs either. Instead of tucking their chidlren into bed, these parents are nipping and tucking them into better shape for employment or college instead of nurturing healthy self-esteem at a young age.

CRAZED, but good-looking.

April 21st 2006 20:15
As the age of consumerism overwhelms us, our intellects may be less than impressed by our increasing obsession with aesthetic qualities.
Our rational selves observe in horror as we launch into another detailed analysis of our pore sizes and follicle structure, and embark on another rampage into the world of skincare & cosmetics on the quest for beauty.
As great thinkers of the 18th century have it, the essence of beauty incorporates unity, order, proportion, and symmetry. There is an essential beauty which is absolute, a natural beauty that exists in all things being, and a beauty instituted by man. The latter order of beauty is what our society encourages us to seek.
