Care for SkinType 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Caring for Normal Skin TypeHowever, though, normal type of skin is not really problematic, it still needs sensible care and gentle treatment.

Whats Your Skin Type 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Do you know whats your skin type? Most of us don't really bother.It is really very important for you to be able to identify your skin type. This is to enable you to look after your skin correctly. Also the selection of your cosmetics to a considerable extent is influenced by your skin type.

Makeup :: Applying Face Blushers 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I simply love Blushers. Its a must have, to create an instant radiance on the face. Let me share some tips on Blusher Application.Please remember to :-Go for a light shade of blush color for the daytime and a dark one for the lovely evenings.-Select either cream blush or powder blush depending upon the suitability of your skin. Cream blush is considered good for the dry skin whereas the powder blush is good for the oily skin.-Make sure that before applying the blush you are finished with application of powder, foundation and eye makeup.-To use a round brush (with powder blush, of course) because it gives better effects as compared to the brush that usually comes with the blush.-Look into the mirror and give a smile so that your cheekbones are raised and place the blush on the apple of your cheek. Then brush up your cheekbone toward your hairline.* In case you have a fuller face you should apply the blush at the outside of your face near your temples.* In case of high cheekbones you sho Read more:Makeup
Lipstick :: Tips and Tricks 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Lipstick - Tips and Tricks !Tip #1:Lipstick done? You might notice there's still a bit of lipstick down in the tube. You can dig it out and put it in a small plastic container. Use a lip brush to apply.Tip #2: Never use a test lipstick on your lips. It's just plain unhygienic. Instead, test lipstick on your fingertips. It's a closer fit to your lips than the back of your hand.Tip #3: Use liner on your lips as a base.Lipstick will last longer if you fill in your lips with the liner first. If you're using light lipstick, try a nude liner. Then slick your lipstick on top.Tip #4:Never use a dark liner with light lipstick. Defined lips are great, but make sure the liner matches the lipstick or gloss. Dark liner and light lips is tacky.Tip #5: Keep lipstick off your teeth with this trick. This is a trick I learned years ago from my mom. After applying lipstick, take your index finger and pop it in your mouth, then pull it out. The excess lipstick will come off on your finger rather than Read more:Lipstick
Makeup :: Applying Eye Shadows 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I found these 8 simple steps to making up your eyes for evening.Time Required: approx 10 minutes#1. Prep your eyes.This step is needed only if you have darkish undereye circles. Apply 3 dots of concealer under your eye. Start at the inner corner where skin tends to be darkest, then under the pupil and the third on the outer edge. Blend with a brush or your concealer until it disappears.#2. Apply a base shadow Next, apply an off-white or cream base shadow from your lip up to your brow bone. Use a medium-sized fluffy brush . This allows a base for the color to stick to.#3.

BEST Shampoo for Hair Types 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Uh ohhh..its been a while since my last post..Been very busy catching up with holidays :)I was thinking to get a haircut, so I come up to share info on hair products, at this time around for my Beauty Talk Blog.How do you choose the right shampoo for your hair? Let me guide...if possible.1. COARSE, CURLY HAIRCurly hair is almost always dry hair and here’s why: oils produced in the scalp don’t travel as easily down the hair shaft as they do with straight hair.Creamy, moisturizing shampoos work best for this hair texture. Look for shea butter & coconut & macadamia nut oil in your shampoos. These tend to coat the hair shaft, trapping water inside. Conditioners: For extreme hydration, use deep conditioners. You’ll want to look for products that contain cetyl or stearyl alcohol, panthenol & methicones, silicone or dimethicone, or essential oils & botanicals such as avocado or jojoba oil.!! Extra tip: Remember to never, ever, ever wash curly hair every day. You’ll only d

Hair Blowing Tips 2007-03-13 07:30:00 Guide on how to blow-dry your hair. * Start by washing your hair. * Comb with a wide-toothed comb to remove any tangles. Partially blow-dry your hair to get rid of excess moisture. * Spray a volumising tonic on your hair, or a handful of mousse spread from tips to ends for extra oomph. (for volumised effect), or straightening balm for straighter/sleek effect * Pin hair up and take out small sections at a time to blow-dry. Hold the dryer in one hand and a styling brush in the other. * Place the brush underneath the first section of hair and position it at the roots.

Determine Your Face Shape 2007-03-13 07:16:00 I encountered this cool article, on how to determine your face shape. Im oval, wats yours?Knowing Your Face Shape
Knowing your face shape is the first step to choosing a hair style that takes your look from ordinary to fabulous. What does face shape have to do with it? Everything. To get the most flattering hair style for you, you want to avoid repeating your face shape with your hair style. For example, a short puffy hair style will make a round face look rounder. A long and straight hair style makes a long face look longer. The object is to strike a balance that is the most complimentary to your natural features while creating interest. You should choose your hair style based on your facial proportions.To determine if your face shape is oblong, oval or round, you will need to measure the length and width of your face and calculate a ratio of length to width.You can do this with a mirror or a picture. Measure for length from the point where the forehead meets the hairline to the bottom

Eyeliner Tips 2007-03-28 10:05:00 How to Apply Eyeliner?I love eyeliners. They can make my eyes look bigger and defined. I can tolerate both liquid and pencil types.But do you know how to apply them? Here some tips for you :)1 Choose an eyeliner appropriate for your eye color. Brown, navy and charcoal accent light eyes well, while brown and plum shades flatter brown eyes. Make sure your liner complements the color of your shadow.2 Consider the type of look you're after. Pencil eyeliner gives your eyes soft definition, while liquid versions offer precision and drama. You can also moisten dark eye shadow and apply it with a small, flat brush.3 Prepare a cake liner or a dark eye shadow by applying a small amount of water to your brush. Or, if you're using a pencil eyeliner, ensure that you've sharpened the pencil adequately.4 Move the wet brush gently through your cake liner or dark shadow. Hold the brush or pencil as you would hold a pen.5 Tilt your head back slightly and bring your eyes to a half-open
French Manicure, anyone? 2007-04-25 06:45:00 STEP 1Exfoliate your hands by massaging them using a small amount of body scrub. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly. One of the main causes of chapped hands is not drying them properly after washing.STEP 2File your nails. If they are brittle or tend to split, keep them flat across the top with smooth, rounded edges. When filing, move in one direction, from outer corner to centre-sawing movements can damage the nail plate. Choose a nail file with a fine surface that glides over the nail.STEP 3Coat hands in a layer of sweet almond oil, to norish and soften, then wrap in a warm towel and relax for 15 minutes. Unwrap, and gently push back cuticles using a rubber hoof stick (available from most chemists). Never use cuticle clippers, as they can nick the skin.

Mascara Tips 2007-05-22 03:12:00 Mascara for muo ?Here's the compilation of great tips on mascara! * Tip #1: How to use a lash comb. For some, lash combs are simply too fussy. But for some makeup artists, they're a great invention and keep lashes glob-free and perfectly separated. So how to use? Apply mascara at the lash base. Then wiggle the lash comb through to the tips of your lashes. Not into the lash comb? Get rid of clumbs without them by removing excess mascara from the wand. Wipe wand on tissue, this eliminates blobs BEFORE you start. * Tip #2: Try a clean mascara wand. Sweep a clean, fresh mascara wand through lashes when they're wet. When you finish a mascara, clean the wand in a capful of eye makeup remover, then wash with soap and dry. Keep it clean by washing it whenever you wash your makeup tools. * Tip #3: Don't shy away from colored mascara. Basic mascara rules are simple: Black works for everyone but can be harsh on blondes. Blondes should opt for brown/black by day and reserve black for Read more:Mascara
