Alluring Eyes, How To Apply Eye Makeup To Achieve A Gorgeous Look

Gorgeous eyes are something that many girls strive towards by using eye makeup. The problem is that there are many mistakes that can be made along the way that can spoil a look entirely. If you want to follow suit then there are a number of steps you can follow to get it right.

What you will need
Before embarking on any makeup mission you have to make sure you have the right tools. You will need eye pencil, liquid eyeliner and eye shadow. The liner and pencil are meant to define your eyes. The shadow is there to add that extra shimmer and accentuate your eyes.

The colors
The traditional color for eye makeup has been black and brown, but if you want to experiment you can get other colors or colors that glitter then that’s fine. Remember that it needs to complement and bring out your eyes, not overpower them so choose your colors carefully.

Applying eyeliner
When using your eye pencil you can graduate your eye by extending the line towards your eyebrow. Some women prefer eyeliner on the top lid and the bottom, while others will choose to have it on the bottom only. Whichever one you choose, make sure you apply it slowly and allow it to dry before putting on the shadow.

Eye shadow
For a great set of alluring eyes a good color eye shadow to use is gold, bronze or light pink. This will also depend on your skin tone and the color of your eyes. To apply your eye shadow use the special brush and apply it so that it covers just your eyelid and not the section below your eyebrow. If you want to have a two toned effect you can do so by having one shade on top of the other.

Cleaning Makeup Tools – Why, How To Clean Them – 2010 & 2011 Tips

Cleaning Makeup Tools – Why, How To Clean Them

Women are often more than happy to go on shopping sprees buying the latest and hottest makeup, but many tend to forget that even their makeup tools need to be cleaned and maintained. If you wear makeup it is a good idea to learn how to clean your brushes.

Why clean them?

Whenever you use your makeup brushes you get a little bit of makeup stuck on them, whether it is powder or liquid. This causes the bristles of the brush to stick together, causing your makeup to have a streaky appearance, and further than that you won’t be able to apply it evenly or smoothly. Chances are you will have different shades of makeup, so when you change from one to another you may just end up with a whole new color altogether. These brushes can also harbor bacteria, which can lead to breakouts. Cleaning your brushes will keep them in good working order and it will make them last longer so you won’t have to keep buying new ones.

How to clean them

All you need to clean your brushes is warm, soapy water. Try using an antibacterial soap to get rid of the bacteria. Leave them to soak for a while, shape them while they are still damp and allow them to dry. If you do need to get rid of excess powder then do so gently. Scrubbing the brushes will damage them and eventually cause them to fall out and lose their shape. Lipstick brushes are a bit harder to clean because it ends up stickier than the rest of the lot. There are usually special cleaning solutions for this available at the cosmetics store.

By taking the time to clean your brushes you can save yourself loads of time, money and keep your skin healthy.


Lipstick Dos and Don’ts, 2010 & 2011 Tips

Lipstick Dos and Don’ts

Lipstick is one of the most commonly used and misused items of makeup available on the market today. Not only can it cause great benefits, like giving your lips beautiful color and protecting them from harmful UV rays, but it can cause great destruction, like drying your lips out, clumping around the edges and sticking to your teeth. Using lipstick doesn’t have to be a horrible experience, however. With the right know-how on the dos and don’ts of using lipstick, any woman can turn into a professional.

DON’T overdo the lip liner. This is one of the most common mistakes. Using lip liner is only acceptable if it is much lighter than your lipstick color and cannot be seen through/around the borders of your lipstick area. DO use a lip liner to fill in your lip surface before applying lipstick to give it both better color and staying power.

DON’T pile on the lipstick in hopes it will look better. Doing this will only make it that much easier for the lipstick to stray to cigarettes, coffee cups, and your teeth! If the lipstick doesn’t look good the first few times over your lips, it isn’t going to, so wipe it off and move on to a new color.

DO buy lipstick that advertises its ability to be fully applied in two-three coatings. Also, DO run your finger outward with your lips around it after applying to bring off any excess that always strays to the teeth, to avoid embarrassing situations and not-so-subtle hints from strangers.

Tips for Applying Eyeshadow That Lasts, 2010 & 2011 Ideas

Tips for Applying Eye Shadow That Lasts

Eyeshadow does wonders for our eyes – it can play them up, play them down, help you look younger, older, more vibrant, and much more. While using eyeshadow can be a joy in its benefits, what is sometimes bad is when you apply your eye shadow, only to have it wear off or clump an hour or so later. There are some things you can do to keep your eye shadow lasting longer and just as vibrant as when you first applied it.

One of the best things you can do before applying eye shadow to help it stay longer is to take care of your skin properly. By keeping the area clean and hydrated by moisturizing, you ensure your eye shadow has the cleanest surface possible to apply to. So start with a clean canvas. Next, it is important to prep the area with makeup. Try using a cream based foundation or concealer, or eye shadow prep cream on your entire lid before you begin. Depending on the type, this will both help the eye shadow stay longer and create a light colored canvas for your eye shadow to stick to, which in turn helps to make the eye shadow stand out more brilliantly in the color it is supposed to be.

Finally, applying the eye shadow is as important as anything. Try using an eye shadow brush rather than the sponge-tip applicator that comes with the eye shadow. This turns the shadow into powder before it hits the eyelid, creating a more adhesive material.
