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

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.

Natalie Durkovich from Columbia Tribune has come up with these some easy beauty product recipes that are effective as well as inexpensive.

BEER
beer

Some of you may wince at the idea of using beer as a beauty product and that it’s a waste if it’s not going down your throat. But this should be worth a try.

Have dull hair? Dunk a bottle of beer over your head after shampooing. Beer is packed with proteins that plump up your hair cuticle, giving you that enviable natural volume while its vitamin B properties promote shine.

OATMEAL
oatmeal

Mmm…oatmeal. I usually prefer my oats with warm milk and a spoonful of brown sugar, especially in winter. But there’s a reason why oats are prevalent in many beauty products such as masques, scrubs, moisturizers, etc. Oatmeal has been clinically shown to relieve itchy, dry skin because of their soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits, not to mention it also helps soften the skin.

Place a handful of oats in a wash cloth and secure. Dip the washcloth in a bowl of warm water and squeeze until the water is murky. Splash the water on your face and let it dry before rinsing.

ORANGES
oranges

At the end of the month, I seem to find myself on my knees in front of the refrigerator, grimacing as I throw bag after bag of bruised oranges my husband insists on buying every week. But here’s something that may persuade me to lug these oranges out to my bathroom cabinet instead.

Oranges restore balance to dry skin and help stimulate skin surface circulation to soften rough skin. Squeeze half of the orange juice into a bowl and mix with ¼ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup olive oil. Rub the remaining half of the orange over the rough spots like elbows, knees, back of heels, etc, then follow with the orange scrub. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
