Make Up Products You Shouldn’t Live Without

There will come a time that we’ll face the mirror and be thankful for something – thank God for makeup. We are all grateful for a miracle in a compact, the instant glow, and instant enhancement in some point in our lives. Our concerted efforts to looking young can never be complete without finding and using the perfect set of make up products that will highlight your features – not hide it. Believe in yourself, you are more beautiful than what you think. There are make up products that will complement your natural features, minimize imperfections, and conceal age-related skin problems.

What’s even better is that all make up products have gone more high-tech. Gone are the days when you need to satisfy your self with a foundation that is two tones lighter than your skin or an profusely red blushes that beats the rosiest of all lipsticks. Now you and your skin can indulge from a make up product that is made from organic products, a concealer that magically banish an under eye circle that reflects your party ethics, and even give you.

If your interest with make up products is a direct result of the visible signs of skin aging, chances are you are quite unsure of what your colleagues and even friends will think. But that doubt will soon be gone because chances are you will be the prettiest flower even if you have bloomed late.

Laying The Foundation

Women of age need to follow the only rule when it comes to applying foundation: your skin needs to highlight maturity. No, not looking young. Sure, it is tempting to pile up on anti-aging products that will erase time’s effect on your skin; but relying on a pile of make up products is terribly the worst foundation. Women of age only need subtle cover and a lot of color. And getting the right foundation eliminates both tasks in an instant.

Concealing Imperfections

And by that we mean the art of applying the most powerful and flattering of all foundations. Gone are the days when you have to look like you have a dust of Spackle in your face. Concealers today are lighter and creamier, which comes in a variety of shades that are sure to match your shade.

But with a lot of shade options comes confusion – which shade should you choose and would end up like your second skin? The general rule: Pick one shade lighter than your natural tone, notes Laura Geller, makeup artist and owner of Laura Geller Make Up Studio in New York. Choose a product that it packed with a wand or comes in a pot, according to Geller. These concealers are essentially sheerer and lighter than stick concealers, which are notoriously known for looking chalky or too thick when applied.

Blush To Get That Glow

There are a lot of things to be thankful for as we get older. But the one thing that most of us will have difficulty accepting is the fact that our skin becomes more sallow with time. But with the right blush, women of age can get back the rosy glow that time has stole from them. The best blush color: Shop for warm shades that essentially contain more yellow than red.

Warm shades of pink and peach are essentially flattering for all women. If you are sporting some hints of gray, wearing warm shades of pink, plum, rose, and even mauve simply flatter all women, no matter what skin tone she has.mm

Makeup Tips

Before applying any makeup, you should clean your face with water, which has a pinch of soda bicarbonate in it. Then apply ice cubes on the face. This enables the makeup to last longer.

Concealer is used to hide dark circles around the eyes, and is also used to cover blemishes and scars. A beige concealer is ideal for dark skins and one with natural tones for fairer skins. This should be spread evenly using a dry sponge or your fingers. Now, apply the foundation.

Foundation is used to enhance the colour of the complexion. Three basic types may be used, depending upon your skin type. For dry skin, liquid foundation works best whereas semi-liquid is best for combination skins. Foundation can be applied with a sponge and blended into the hairline and along the jaw for a natural finish.

Translucent powder is used to dust the face. This helps that the foundation to stay on longer. Excess powder should be brushed off. Blusher should be blended evenly along the cheekbones.

Lips

The lips should be outlined with a lip liner so that the lipstick does not bleed. Lipstick is then applied and blended with the lip liner. Then dust your lips with powder so that the lipstick lasts for a longer period of time, and then apply the last coat.

Eyes

Eye shadow colours should be selected carefully, light shadow is applied on to the lids to create a base. Darker eye shadow is then used at the outer corners of the eyes, to enhance the eyes. A kajal or kohl stick can be used in the inner eyelid to make the eyes appear even more dramatic. Mascara applied to the lashes increases this effect. Eyebrows should be sharp and tidy and should be free of all traces of makeup.

Makeup Geek Weekly Challenge: Ashwarya Rai Inspired Look...

Makeup Geek is a wonderful makeup blog/website. I'm sure you've already heard of it, but I just found it about a week ago. I've watched some great tutorials, read some helpful tips, and discovered that they have a weekly makeup challenge on their forum. I decided to join in for the first time this week.

From the Makeup Geek site...

"I found this beautiful picture of Ash’s look, and think it would be beautiful on just about everyone! You just need silver and a rose-ish colored eyeshadow with some black liner and you’re good to go for one hot, sexy look! I’d love to see you all try this one, so bring it on MUGS! Post your pictures here in our Weekly Challenge:Ashwarya Rai"

Okay, so we can all agree that I don't look anything like Ashwarya. But that's not really the point is it? The idea is to draw inspiration from this look, which I did. I was intrigued by the use of a metallic silvery tone mixed with a burnished rose. In my opinion, this color combination is everyday wearable with just a bit more oomph!

*The interpretation would have been more literal had I used a black liner on the waterline but I have allergy eyes so I decided to forego liner underneath.

The two main colors I used in this look

Here's what I used:

• Awe (Aromaleigh elemental lustre) – lid
• Glossed Over (The She Space) – crease/v
• Sunny Disposition (Aromaleigh eye plush) – under brow and to blend out crease
• Ice (Aromaleigh pure matte) – inner corner
• Drama Queen Topaz (Aromaleigh mineral liner) – mixed with sealant and applied to top lash line
• Glorious (Aromaleigh pure rouge) - cheeks
• Pinkish Bronze gloss (Wet n Wild I think) - lips

"Let's Go East (Middle-East, Far East, you choose)" was selected as this week's challenge. Here are some gorgeous photos of Asian Bridal Makeup from makeup artist Mahnoor to use as inspiration in creating your own makeup looks. The colors are rich and lush and the application is flawless.

Latest cosmetics Trends

Every day you wake up and start the same routine and the ending goal is to be attractive - maybe more attractive than yesterday. Maybe you put on some mascara; maybe some gloss and some blush and look exactly the same as you do daily. Every now and then, it’s time for a cosmetics revamp to keep your look fresh and modern. This season makeup is bold and dramatic. Here’s our tried and tested picks to add some critically sexy colors to your look

Wet/Dry Eyeshadow:

Try Bourjois wet and dry eye shadows. Watch what a little water will do for that nock ‘em-dead look.

Glitter Eyeshadow:

Try some powder eye shadows from Manic Panic. These richly pleasing long-wearing eye shadows are packed with pigment and micro glitter. Buy single colors or paint box palettes.

Coloured Eyelash Mascara:

Be daring and try some Stargazer Mascara. A range of colors are available. Colors like turquoise, violet, red, white, blue, and pink. If you just want a hint of color on the lashes, apply it just on the tips.

3D Mascara:

Have you seen the latest mascara from Revlon? It’s called 3D Extreme and will give your lashes extreme fullness. If drama is what you want, you’ll get it-as well as curvier, visibly longer lashes. It doesn’t cake or flake and comes in waterproof too.

Mood Swing Lip Gloss:

This ought to change your mood. Too Faced carries a ‘mood swing’ lip-gloss with a secret blend of oils and extracts help keep your lips smooth & sinuous, revived, and protected from the sun. I’m sure you remember those ‘mood rings’ of the 90s that always stayed the same murky color but don’t bother- your lips will look anything but gloomy.

Sooth and Shine Lipstick:

Face atelier’s lipsticks feel and look so good. They will sooth your lips and make them shine. They contain antioxidants, essential oils, and provide sun shield.

Meke up tips for Teens

As a teenager, you spend a lot of time trying out and wearing different types of make-up. Look for allergy-free or non-allergenic products.

Cover up your blemishes and highlight your face with strictly oil-free foundations. These products are usually gels designed for oily skin. They contain alcohol, or witch hazel to assist in drying the skin. Stay away from water-based products as most contain oil that helps the product stay on the skin. Opt instead for oil-free products that contain salicylic acid or tea tree oil to aid in acne treatment.

Cream-based blushers, eye make-up and shimmer liquids are very oily and may add to your skin problem. Oil-free powders are the way to go. Mascara comes in all different types depending on what you want, but remember, longer-lasting varieties require eye make-up removers which are generally oil-based. Try using a generalized, non-comedogenic (doesn’t clog pores) oil-free make-up remover to take off your make-up. Replace your mascara regularly, since bacteria builds up and application can lead to eye infections.

Lip glosses are tempting and come in a variety of shades. To make them shiny and soft, large amounts of oil are used. This can cause them to smear. Try outlining your lips with a pencil liner. It’ll keep the lipstick or gloss in place. For a longer lasting effect, try applying oil-free foundation to your lips and using a lip crayon. This will make your lipstick last for hours without having to re-apply.

Chapped lips and winter weather seem to go hand-in-hand. The dry seasonal air and indoor heating systems rob your lips of moisture. Natural lip balms are very popular. They have no petroleum, instead they contain beeswax and plant oils and come in fruit flavors. Some lip balms contain paba-free sunscreens for added protection. Don’t use your lip balm too often. Your lips will become dependent on it and will stop moisturizing themselves.
