Lipstick Trick For Novices

Step 1: The most important step is to prep your lips. There are three ways I'll exfoliate - with a toothbrush, a sugar scrub, or using a wash cloth dipped in warm water and massaging in small circles. Also, I recently tested out this powered lip buffer and it's amazing.


Step 2: Apply an emollient lip balm. This is the first thing I apply when getting ready, so that I can leave it on while I do the rest of my make-up and get dressed. The longer it stays on, the softer my lips become.


Step 3: Gently remove lip balm. Skipping this step will result in lipstick that doesn't adhere well.


Step 4: Apply foundation to lips. This acts as a primer and creates a neutral canvas. Make sure to smile when putting it on to fill in the cracks so the lipstick will apply evenly.


Step 5: Blot foundation.


Step 6:. Line lips with a pencil in a shade that closely resembles your natural lip color.


Step 7: Apply lipstick in a criss-cross pattern at the cupid's bow, the outer corners and the bottom of the lip.


Step 8: Working from the initial starting points, use a "connect-the-dots" method to fill in the rest of the lips.

Step 9: Blot lips and apply one final layer of lipstick.


Step 10: Using a small brush, apply concealer around any areas that need to be cleaned up.

Fashion and Style Lookbook: 8 Steps To Younger Looking Hands

Fashion and Style Lookbook: 8 Steps To Younger Looking Hands: They’re the hardest working part of your body, but your hands don’t have to show the strain Your face may be as smooth and glowing ...

8 Steps To Younger Looking Hands

They’re the hardest working part of your body, but your hands don’t have to show the strain

Your face may be as smooth and glowing in your forties as it was in your twenties if you’re blessed with good genes, but chances are your hands will still give away your real age. Here’s how to protect your hard-working extremities…

1 Use sun cream on your hands year roundIt’s ultra violet rays that cause our hands to age prematurely and get that leathery look, so by applying sun cream to hands in the autumn and winter as well as the spring and summer (you do do this, don’t you?) you’ll help protect exposed skin from sun damage.

2 Keep moisture levels topped upGet in the habit of moisturising your hands throughout the day. Not only are our hands exposed to the elements, they’re in and out of water regularly and denied the SPFs and other protective properties contained in the moisturiser or make-up we wear on our face (see point 8). Freshly moisturised skin looks younger and springier so it’s worth keeping a mini tube of hand cream in your handbag and on your desk at work.

3 Exfoliate and rejuvenateTo speed up the turnover of skin and slough away dead skin cells, you should try to exfoliate your hands two or three times a week. This process will leave your hands feeling smoother and silkier.

4 Disguise bony handsAs we get older changes in our hormones can leave our hands looking bony and sinewy. If you want to disguise the flaws for a special occasion, do as the stars do and use make-up. A pressed mineral powder is your best option for ensuring an even and natural cover.

5 Nourish nails from within
Nails are the last part of our body to receive nutrients so if you have a poor diet they will be particularly undernourished. For healthier looking nails you need to ensure that you eat foods containing biotin (nuts, fish and eggs), zinc (poultry, seafood, eggs and nuts) and selenium (Brazil nuts, fish, poultry, red meat and wheat).

6 Banish bumps and splitsThere are two types of nail ridges – vertical ones and horizontal ones. Vertical ridges are harmless and are a result of ageing but horizontal lines could highlight an underlying illness so see your GP. If you’re embarrassed by the ridges in your nails, buff them down once a week and use a ridge-filling nail polish and base coat to make them less noticeable.

7 Update your manicureThe short, square ‘squoval’ nail shape is the most suited to all age groups and looks great in both day and night shades.

8 Treat your hands as you do your faceWe all put so much time and effort into looking after our face and trying to prevent signs of ageing. We should be putting this amount of time and effort into caring for our hands too. The cheapest and easiest way of doing this is to use the same products on your hands as you do on your face.

Not To Prime Before Applying Your Makeup Is A Crime - Checkout 10 Best Face Primer

"Not to prime is a crime! It helps finesse your foundation, helping your skin to stay flawless longer
Now that we've converted you into a primer believer, here are tips to help you choose the best one for you:

Skin tone: Primers come in different hues to address specific skin concerns. Green-colored primers will combat redness from rosacea or acne. Mauve/light purple counteracts sallow undertones, while pink helps brighten complexions.

Skin type: First, figure out whether your skin type is oil, dry or combination. Then, choose a primer that is suited for those needs.

Once you've got the right formula, apply the primer after your moisturizer. If you apply it before your day cream or sunscreen, those water-based products can't penetrate through to reach your skin. "If you smooth [the primer] on after, your skin can absorb your moisturizer before the primer forms a slick film on top of it.







Smashbox


This primer has a fiercely loyal following - so much so that the brand has launched an entire range of alternative versions to suit every different skin type and requirement. The original is second to none, and gives skin a soft-focus finish and silky texture.







Benefit


Devoted to making large pores look less noticeable, The Porefessional's oil-free formula and long-lasting results have made it a Benefit bestseller ever since its launch in 2011.



Chanel


Chanel's Le Blanc De Chanel Multi-Use Illuminating Base manages to mattify skin whilst also providing a dewy glow without even the slightest hint of sparkle or shimmer, as well as evening out discoloured areas. Also great mixed with foundation for extra radiance and staying power.




Laura Mercier


The clue is in the name - this primer is all about luminous, youthful skin. Use all over the skin for a dewy glow, or apply to cheekbones, the bridge of the nose and the forehead for a subtle but noticeable radiance.




Clinique
Clinique's range of six trouble-shooting primers each target a different skin concern, from sallowness to redness. The colour-correcting formula for dullness in darker skin tones has a subtle bronze tint, to avoid the chalky finish that some primers can leave.




Hourglass

This lightweight primer glides easily on, leaving a velvety finish and keeping make-up in place all day long. Plus the SPF protection saves an extra step.



Bourjois


If shiny skin is your nemesis then look to Bourjois's mattifying formula, which refines pores and smooths skin for easy make-up application with no caking.




Urban Decay

If keeping eye make-up in place is your aim, Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion is the one for the job. Lightweight and easy to apply, it prevents liner from budging and keeps shadow from creasing.




MAC

This beauty classic promotes even skin tone and creates the ideal base for make-up, plus it noticeably reduces oiliness



Eve LomMore than just make-up, Eve Lom's Flawless Radiance Primer brings together multiple plant extracts and vitamins to moisturise, nourish and protect as it works. Add to that an easily-absorbed formula and clever light-diffusing particles and you've got pretty much the perfect primer.

10 Foods That Can Help You Get Amazing Skin

Dreaming of having a flawless face that requires little to no makeup? You may want to change your diet.

When it comes to getting great skin, doctors say eating foods that can promote a gorgeous glow is just as important as getting a good night’s sleep.

While there’s no overnight cure for blemish-free features, there are 10 specific ingredients that you need in your overall diet to improve your skin's appearance.

Want to let your inner beauty shine through? Find out how you can eat your way to gorgeous skin now:

Kale
Kale is a rich source of vitamin K. It also has anti-inflammatory benefits that helps you stay less bloated, which can prevent puffiness on the face. “The sulfur content in kale aids in reducing redness and flakiness, and vitamin K helps ward off cancer, while keeping circulation healthy,” explains Dr. Jessica Krant, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. “This helps us maintain our glow and also removes toxins from our bodies.”

Mangos


“Mangos boost collagen production for smoother, youthful-looking skin,” explainsDr. Marina Peredo, associate clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. “Because they contain carotenoids, they can also improve skin tone and color, giving a rosy glow to dull skin.”

Tomatoes

In a 2012 study, it was concluded that women who ate a diet rich in tomatoes had increased skin protection, reduced redness, and less DNA damage from ultraviolet rays, which can cause wrinkles. While you shouldn’t give up on SPF, doctors say this juicy fruit should be part of your overall diet for better looking skin. “Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that protects the skin against UV radiation,” says Dr. Julia Tzu, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University.

Water


Drinking water daily is a no-brainer, but if you tend to suffer from dry, flaky skin, chances are you’re not hydrated enough. And tight skin is more prone to wrinkles and other signs of aging. “Once you realize you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated, which takes its toll on your skin,” explains nutritionist JJ Virgin, author of “The Virgin Diet.” “Proper hydration means you sweat more efficiently to keep your skin glowing and looking fabulous.” Virgin recommends starting your day with a glass of water and always keeping a bottle near you to ensure you’re drinking throughout the day and night.

Salmon


Some medical experts love salmon for its ability to enhance smooth skin. “Omega 3 fatty acids are important because your body does not produce it,” says Dr. Stafford R. Broumand, New York-based plastic surgeon and associate clinical professor of plastic surgery at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. “Fish is a great source of omega 3 fatty acid because it aids in the functioning of different types of cells in the body, including the skin. Healthy fats help to support the production and building of elastin and collagen, which in turn will help maintain supple, youthful-looking skin.”

Coffee


Got cellulite? You may need to up the java intake. According to Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, co-director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, D.C. coffee grounds can help minimize the appearance of those unsightly dimples thanks to the caffeine that can dehydrate fat cells. It’s even a key ingredient in a beauty product that reportedly “improves the silhouette.” If you're on a budget, Tanzi advises mixing up your own scrub.


Avocado

“One of my best tips is to start by eating a bit of avocado every day as part of your salad, or even throwing half of an avocado into your morning smoothie,” says New York City-based celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas. “Avocados supply the skin with healthy fats and phytonutrients to hydrate from the inside out and bring back your glow.”

Red Bell Peppers


“Red bell peppers are very high in vitamin C,” explains health coach Lori Shemek. “Vitamin C aids the body in the production of collagen, a very important skin supporter that prevents sagging skin. Vitamin C also helps prevent inflammation that can accelerate aging.”

Blueberries

“For acne-prone skin, foods rich in antioxidants, like blueberries, will help the body eliminate toxins, clearing up the skin,” says Dr. Frank Lipman. Eat them alone or add them to Greek yogurt.

Chocolate

Contrary to popular belief, chocolate is actually good for you, so long as you eat it in moderation and score the best quality. “Dark chocolate contains very high levels of flavonols, a highly potent form of antioxidants that firm and protect skin,” says Shemek. “Ensure that the chocolate is at least 70% cacao — the higher the percentage, the better for your skin. A couple of squares should be enough.”

The 5 Rules of Daytime Eye Makeup

Brazen liner, glamorous glitter and mega-lush lashes are a few of our very favorite things, but we know—much to the dismay of our drama-loving hearts—that they’re not always appropriate for daytime settings. To help us walk the fine line between what’s suitable and what’s overkill for the office.







1. Avoid Black & Glitter“First, I believe makeup should be fun and highlight your beauty. However, if you work in a corporate or conservative setting, ‘too-much’ eye makeup is not work appropriate. For example, a dark smoky eye is a no-go for everyday wear at the office. Avoid using colors like black, dark blue or anything glittery,” Chavez advises.


2. Master Subtle LinerIf you love liner, but don’t want to look overly done Chavez has two great techniques for subtle liner. “Dash the eyeliner pencil into the lash line—it will make the lashes look fuller,” or “use a cake eyeliner (a water activated, usually potted liner) with a stiff, flat brush. Apply the eyeliner under the lash line for a ‘non-eyeliner’ look.”


3. Lighten Up Your Smoky EyeIf you love yourself a good smoky eye, don’t feel like they’re completely banished for daytime. If you opt for “more subtle tones like plums, greys or browns you can create a lovely daytime smoky look. Apply the darkest tone close to the lash line then blend upward toward the crease. You want to create a sunset effect. Then finish it off with a couple of coats of black mascara,” Chavez says.


4. Keep it SimpleIf you need inspiration for the perfect daytime eye makeup, Chavez shared her recipe. “First, I apply a skin tone eye base to brighten my eye. Second, I apply eyeliner under the lash line to make my lashes look fuller. Third, I fill in my eyebrows. The eyebrows frame your eyes, so never forget to define them. Lastly, apply several coats of mascara. It's a clean, fresh look for everyday.”


5. Wear What You Love The most important rule to keep in mind? “Never wear anything you are not confident in. Makeup should bring out our inner confidence. If you love bright shadows go for it, but be sure all colors suit your skin tone and compliment your eye color,” Chavez says. When in doubt, tone down the glamorous looks you love to interpret them for day, and do you, girlfriend.

How To Care For Your Natural Hair Under A Weave

While a weave affords you a lot of versatility, and protects your hair at the same time, you can't neglect your own hair while wearing one. Taking care of your hair when it's weaved away will ensure that once the weave is removed, your new growth is healthy and lush. So when wearing hair extensions, you need to:

• Shampoo and Condition

Yes, you still need to shampoo your hair on a regular basis. Concentrate the shampoo on your scalp and work it in with the balls of your fingertips. Then work the shampoo down the weave hair, but do not ball it up on the top of your head. Instead, work your fingers straight down through the hair to the ends. Let the water help guide the shampoo down. It's important to keep the weave hair as straight as possible to prevent matting and tangling.

• Apply Oils to Your Scalp

Your hair and scalp still need nourishment. Work natural oils beneath the weave onto your scalp and massage them in. If the weave is made of human hair, getting a little product on it won't hurt it, but synthetic hair doesn't require additional products, so you'll have to be careful not to get oils on it.

• Don't Neglect the Weave

Also, when caring for your hair, you must care for the weave hair as well. Just because you'll eventually remove it doesn't mean you can neglect it. Besides cleansing, weave hair needs to be combed to work tangles out. It should be secured at night, either under a satin cap or scarf.

• Remove it After Six to Eight Weeks

Your hair will likely grow about ½ to 1 inch beneath the weave. Near the end of the recommended time frame for wearing it, the hair growth will cause it to be looser. Listen to your stylist's advice on how long to leave a weave in. If you extend this time too much, not only will your weave begin to look old and ragged, your new growth may begin to mat and loc.

Simple Stretch Exercise If You Are Stuck At Your Desk All Day

We know we should take time away from the office or computer daily to get outside, go for a run, or hit the gym. However, for busy professionals who are just lucky enough to have a moment to step away from their desk to scarf down lunch in between meetings and deadlines, sometimes those things just aren’t a realistic possibility.


Sitting in these static positions all day can leave your neck, shoulders, back, and hips feeling tight and most likely out of their proper alignment. In light of that fact, here are 5 stretches you can do every day (and anywhere) to combat these stubborn aches and pains.

Chest Opener

You need this one if you spend a lot of time hunched over a keyboard. Rest your chin onto your neck and reach your arms behind you until your hands meet. Interlace your fingers and lift your arms up until you feel a stretch in your chest and front shoulders. Hold for 10 seconds, release, and repeat.





Hip Release


Tight hip flexors are a common problem for people who sit in a chair all day. Kneel on the floor and step your left leg out in front of you at a 90-degree angle, placing your left foot flat on the floor. Press your hips forward until you start feeling a stretch. For an added stretch, raise your right hand above your head. Hold for 10-15 seconds and then switch sides.





Trunk Rotation


Lie on your back with your arms and legs open and relaxed. Bring your knees to your chest, and then let them both slowly fall to one side of your body, while keeping your upper torso neutral and your arms on the floor. Hold for 10-15 seconds and then move to the other side. Repeat 2-3 times.






Shoulder Rolls


Practice rolling your shoulders forward and backward several times to loosen up your upper body. Do 10 reps each way, rest and repeat 2-3 times.
Head-to-Toe Stretch


Stand up and reach your arms high over your head until you feel a stretch. Hold for about 8-10 seconds and then reach your hands down to your toes. Hold for 8-10 seconds and repeat.

8 Tips For Wearing And Caring For Hair Extensions

1. SHOP AROUND


Let’s start off these tips for wearing extensions with shopping for hair extensions. You have quite a few options when it comes to #hair extensions, you can get them done professionally at a salon or do it yourself! There are also #different types of hair extensions such as synthetic and natural. Most people tend to choose natural hair extensions since they #look and feel more like real hair but it’s totally up to you.



2. ATTACHMENT THEORY


Next, you’ll want to figure out what type of #hairextensions you’re going to want to wear - clip-on, heat fusion, cold fusion, skin weft or microbead. There are so #many different ways to attach hair extensions to your hair, but if you’re just starting out and want to try the simplest method, try clip-on extensions. You just clip them on to add some volume and length, style and then clip them out when you’re ready to retire for the evening!



3. BRUSH IT OFF


Now let’s talk about caring for extensions! Once you pick out what type of hair extensions you want to wear, get yourself a good brush and/or comb. Wide tooth combsare a must-have for caring for extensions as well as a loop bristle brush. The wide tooth comb can help you detangle your hair and the loop brush can help preserve the life of your #hair extensions.



4. WASH AND WEAR


Cleansing and conditioning is essential to keeping your hair clean, soft and shiny so of course we want to do the same for your hair extensions! Extensions can accumulate product build-up and residue like your natural hair so it’s important to keep them clean. As far as the type of shampoo and #conditioner to use on extensions, there doesn’t appear to be one perfect brand or type. But as a general rule, #hair products with lots of silicone or conditioning oils are to be avoided.



5. RUBBED THE WRONG WAY


Another tip on washing hair extensions is to be very gentle with them. Always wash #hair extensions separately and avoid twisting, scrubbing or rubbing them while you wash. Also, when applying shampoo and #conditioner, always apply in a downward motion and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and gently squeeze; don’t ring excess water out.



6. HEAT UP


Typically, you only want to use heat tools on 100% human hair and when you do, make sure you start with the lowest heat settings first to avoid damage. Experts say that overusing blow dryers, curling irons and flat irons can shorten the life of your natural hair extensions so keep that in mind when you’re styling them! For best results, treat your hair extensions like you would the natural #hairon your own head!



7. STORAGE WARS


Another one of the important tips on caring for extensions is to properly store them. If you wear clip-on extensions, you’ll want to remove them at night and lay them out flat. If you wear semi-permanent or permanent hair extensions, make sure you wrap your hair in a silk scarf or braid your hair to prevent tangling and knots. Bonus points if you also sleep on a satin pillowcase which is much gentler on your #hair than cotton!



8. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY


Lastly, as much fun it is to change your #look with hair extensions, don’t ignore your body! If your hair extensions are causing damage to your hair or scalp or you find that your hair is falling out or thinning, it’s #time to take them out and give your scalp a rest. Extensions shouldn’t hurt or damage your hair or scalp as long as you take good care of them but there is a #chance that they could damage your scalp.


There is so much information involved when it comes to caring for and wearing hair extensions! These eight tips are just the tip of the iceberg but hopefully it provided you with a brief overview on what it’s like to care for hair extensions? Do you wear #hair extensions? What are your #hair care tips?

Met Ball 2015: What Celebs Wore.

BEYONCE has outdone Kim Kardashian’s and Jennifer Lopez’s barely-there looks, wearing a dramatic see-through dress to the Met Gala today.

Leaving very little to the imagination, Queen Bey sported a floor-length Givenchy gown that was completely sheer apart from strategically-placed embellishments.

She teamed the racy gown with quite possibly the world’s highest ponytail and completed the look with winged eyeliner.

Beyonce, 33, completely overshadowed Kardashian’s and JLo’s attempts at naked dresses — they bared their most famous assets in daring designs that featured as much flesh as fabric.

The annual Met Ball, officially known as the Costume Institute Gala, is the most glamorous event on the A-list’s calendar, sort of like the Oscars of fashion.

Anna Wintour has banned fashion’s A-list from taking selfies and posting on Instagram from inside the Met Gala.

“The use of phones for photography and social media will not be permitted inside the gala,” guests were told, according to Page Six.

A source told the New York Post the social media blackout was “solely to do with guests’ security and enjoyment of the event”.
