Best Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair

Best Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
Every bride-to-be wants to have long tresses of hair. Probably this is due to the fact that long hair seems classic and timeless. Who wouldn’t want not to look best on the most important day of the lives? Bride-to-be want to look timeless that in after 15 years brides can still say they love their look.

Long hair is suitable to almost any kind of facial shape. It is actually a versatile style. It all boils down to you play with it. Let’s say, you have a round face, you can balance the shape by slimming down through visual illusion of having many layers on the jaw area. Many brides-to-be start maintaining their hair even months before the big day. Brides can start making their hair healthier by having deep conditioning treatments and regular trimmings. To achieve bone straight hair you need to blow dry your hair and after that, use a flat iron to straighten it out but be careful just to use small section s in your hair.

Other women love to have half up and half down hairstyle. You can create it by spritzing volumizing spray at the roots before blow drying it. You can use a large barrel curling iron to create loose waves. Hair can be teased at the crown and gather the hair in the crown area to have a half ponytail. Secure it with elastic and bobby pins.

You can take the old Hollywood glamour with you when you walk down the aisle for a retro look. Create this look by curling one side of the hair inwards and towards the face. Put some pin on that hair and make sure that the other side is a bit straight. Finish it off by setting it with a light hold hairspray. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

 


How Long Should You Keep Your Makeup?

How Long Should You Keep Your Makeup?

It is easy when we deal with food. It has expiration dates. Not like what we have in our make up. It doesn’t have the tag that tells us when to toss it out.

We need to know whether our makeup needs to be changed or not because of the bacteria that may be living in it or maybe it needs to be changed because it has lost its effectiveness.

Let’s take a moment and check out how make up should be and which ones to toss out now.

If it smells, throw it out.
Obviously, if your make up is not what it used to be, it is time to throw it out. Chances are the make up has overstayed its use.

Avoid buying in bulks
Those big sizes do not guarantee that they will still be fresh in six months unless you have a big family to share it with.

What to toss within three months
Makeup kits that easily harbor bacteria are the ones you need to toss out in three months. These would include sponges and razors. High –quality sponges will last up only up to three months even if you wash it after every use. The cheap ones should be tossed after one time use. Razors should be thrown out after six usages or if the blades are no longer sharp. Do not keep the razors in your shower.

What to toss after three to six months
These makeups is used near the eyes so you need to take care of them. Throw them out within six months to avoid infection. Eyeliners should be sharpened before you use them. Mascaras on the other hand, dry up after three months. It is recommended that you throw them out at that. It is a breeding ground for bacteria. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS


Makeup Removal, Step by Step

Makeup Removal, Step by Step

Makeup is great, and girls all over the world use it, whether it is a simple dash of eyeliner and some blush, or a grand effort to make a bride look gorgeous. Unfortunately at the end of the night you have to remove your makeup. If left on for long periods it can lead to clogging of your pores and skin irritation. Here are some steps you can use to get the job done right.

1. You will need soap as well as baby oil or shampoo. This is because there are two different types of makeup. Soap will help get off non-oily makeup, while baby oil will help with the oily makeup. You may also be able to get special removal kits at the cosmetics store.
2. The first thing you should do is remove your eye makeup using a face cloth or a cotton pad with a bit of eye makeup remover. Gently wipe from one side to another under your eyebrow until the makeup is off. You can’t simply use water in this case because eye makeup is designed to be water resistant.
3. If you have any waterproof eye makeup on you can use baby oil to get it off.
4. Next, use warm water to gently clean your face and neck. Don’t forget to clean behind the ears, as makeup can also end up there. Use special face wash, and not ordinary soap because that will dry your skin out.
5. You can then use a towel to dry your face. Do so by patting gently. Have a look on the towel and see if there are any traces of makeup, which you can then clean.
6. Once you have done this, you can resume your usual beauty routine you would follow before bed. This may include toner and moisturizer.


Makeup Does Not Have To Be Inexpensive, 2010 & 2011 Tips

Makeup Does Not Have To Be Inexpensive

You hear all about these palettes of makeup that cost thirty dollars for four colors. It turns out to be a lot smaller than what you expected, doesn’t last long on your eyelid, and you hate the colors. But the thing is—you don’t have to deal with expensive eyeshadows and glamorous, overrated lipsticks. It’s just a matter of finding something inexpensive and worth your money.

One thing to keep in mind is that less expensive eyeshadows don’t have as much pigmentation—but that doesn’t mean that you can’t figure out a means of using this to your advantage.

How? PRIMERS! Eyeshadow primer, face primer, and various other types of primer are a great way to make your makeup pop without having to spend a bundle. There are plenty of ways to get your makeup to last.

Eye primers can get a bit expensive—but that’s another story. You can take advantage of samples and use alternatives. Some are: chapstick (this honestly doesn’t sound like a good idea, but it is worth a shot), concealer, Milk of Magnesia (for those with oily eyelids. If you don’t have oily eyelids, steer clear.), Vaseline, and even an Elmer’s glue stick (also not recommended) or you can find a cheap but good primer for only a dollar or two. Some eyeshadows come with primer, depending on what you buy. Keep in mind that these are usually tiny.

Face powder is also a cheap makeup primer. It doesn’t last too long, but it does help a lot.

Also, use the proper brushes when applying your makeup. Brushes normally only cost a few dollars and some come with your kits. For eyeshadow, especially, try and find a good brush instead of the applicators that come with the makeup. You may not get as much color pay off the second you apply the makeup, but as you apply a little bit more at a time, you can layer it as dark or light as you want.
