For the face

Luminous skin with hints of soft shimmer along the cheekbones, under the brow bone and at the temples. You can mix in an illuminating product with your daily moisturizer (don’t forget the SPF) or try just a tinted moisturizer for a lighter effect instead of foundation. Shimmer may also be applied to décolleté and collarbone. Softly bronzed skin with a hint of peach/pink on the "apples" of the cheeks. Bronzer is a must have for spring.

For the eyes

Shimmering shades of beige and coffee, for night use shimmering shades of white and charcoal or black to create a Smokey natural eye look. Also in for spring season are shimmering metallic shades for eyes in bronze, turquoise, magenta and bright metallics.

Soft shades of peach, coral, rose and fuchsia in creamy lipsticks and in shimmering lip glosses.

Fall is about the smoky eye look


Fall is about the smoky eye look sultry and sexy; create wide-open, smoky eyes with this simple how-to guide.

What you will need:
- Cream style concealer or heavy foundation
- Eyeliner pencil in black, dark gray or dark charcoal brown
- Powder shadow in dark brown or gray
- Powder shadow in ivory or light beige
- Black mascara
- Eye shadow
Brush
- Cotton swab or applicator sponge



Creating the look:

1. Cover the surface of the eyelid with creamy concealer or with a heavyweight foundation. This will form a smooth base over which to apply the eye makeup and will help it to last longer.

2. Using the pencil eyeliner, trace a thin line along the top lash line from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. Next, trace the bottom lash line from the inner to outer corner. Use a cotton swab or applicator sponge to smudge the lines so they are not stark stripes and to remove any clumps left by the pencil. The farther the color is from the lashes, the more it should fade.

3. Lightly brush the powder shadow over the surface of the lid, including into the crease. Brush outward and with an upward motion. Stop short of the brow line and do not pass the outer edge of the brows on the sides.

4. Sweep a little of the light powder shadow across the brow bone, blending lightly. Start the light shadow a little inside of the inner corner eye. This brightens and opens up the eye.

5. Finish with smoothly applied black mascara.

Eye make-up tips


Eye Shadow

Depending on the hues you wish to use, you can get a little colourful and creative with the wide selection of products for eyelids on the market. No longer do you have to sift through dozens of shades of eye shadow powder looking for the perfect blend now you can accessorize your eyes with a beautiful array of powders, creams and glittery dustings. Traditional eye shadow powders are very easy to use with small applicator brushes and foam pads. For a dimensional look, blend two colors of powder or one color of powder atop a cream shadow base.
With cream-based eye shadows, less really is more. The cream shadows generally come in small squeeze tubes that really enhance the look of your eyes with a light application across the lid, reaching up to your brows if you wish.
Not sure about colors? Go with something neutral, the first couple of times until you get the hang of it. Apply a light dusting of bronzer or other shimmery transparent color for a gentle hint of color.

Mascara

When selecting mascara, many factors come into play, with each brand’s newest addition to the line claiming bigger and better benefits. From thickening to lengthening to blackest black, waterproof and curling, each mascara product has a special offering of its own. Considering your own lashes, choose one that best suits your needs.
If you wish to avoid that scary-looking metal eyelash curler that appears more like an ancient torture devise, opt for a product that contains a curling formula. Choose the color you want to wear - black, brown or even navy blue. With so many options available, you can add a couple types of mascara to your collection and change your look as often as you like!
Generally, applying two coats of mascara will give enough definition to lashes to really make a difference. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second in an effort to prevent clumping. If some of the mascara accidentally brushes onto your eyelids or underneath, simply use a q-tip to remove it. This may necessitate touching up your eye shadow a bit.

Eyeliner

To really define your eyes, apply a thin line of eyeliner in black or brown, khaki, plum or navy. To properly apply the eyeliner pencil or liquid liner, gently pull the corner of your eye outward, forming a straight line along your lashes. Starting at the inside corner and working toward the outside, delicately trace a line with the pencil angled toward your lashes.
Be careful how much eyeliner you apply, as a little really does go a long way. For a dramatic look, thicker and darker is very acceptable. For a subtle definition, stick with a lighter application.

Why is inner Beauty more important


I beleive than Inner beauty is more important than Outer beauty because Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

I believe that compassion, understanding, inner strength, forgiveness, humor, love...etc., are SO much more important looking Beautiful on the outside. Of course we can go in search of outter beauty but If we have that inner peace we can reflect beauty on the outside.

Is it ture to say " We are human beings , We need both. In face outer beauty doesn't last for a long time as inner beauty. But the first impression we have towards some one is due to his outer beauty … and then Inner beauty plays the major role in the permanent impression.."


I would suggest we seek both Inner beauty and outer because in my opinion as we look good we feel GREAT, and as we feel GREAT we look FANTASTIC!!!


Here are some quotes to ponder on........

What are Grandparents


The experience of being a grandparent is unique for everyone. Grandparents often speak of the joy of being with their grandchildren. At the same time, grandchildren appreciate the fact their grandparents love them no matter what. For some grandparents, seeing grandchildren may be difficult due to divorce, remarriage, or geographic distance. Whether you are a grandparent, step-grandparent, or a grandparent raising a grandchild, you are an important person in your grandchild’s life.

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life.


Everyone needs to have access both to grandparents and grandchildren in order to be a full human being. ~Margaret Mead

"What you focus on expands"

Focus on what you want

"What you focus on expands" . Another way to say this is "Energy flows where attention goes." Keep the energy of your life flowing towards what you really want:


Regardless if it is negative or positive. If you focus on negative then that is what you will recieve. Focus on the negative and life will get worse. If you focus on positive then that is what you will recieve. Focus on the positive and life will get better. This is not an overnight solution, this is a life solution. If you focus on the good you will see a difference within a month to a year. Do not dwell on the negativity of the past or your past events. Focus on what is good for you moving forward and focus on the good of the future that you can bring to yourself and others surrounding you.



Simple phrases that summarize the Law of Attraction:

What you focus on expands
You reap what you sow
Birds of a feather flock together
Whatever you want wants you
What comes around goes around





The Law of Attraction is bringing to us,
not the things we should like,
or the things we wish for, or the things someone else has,
but it brings us “our own,”
the things which we have created by our thought processes,
whether consciously or unconsciously.





If Like Attracts Like, Start Attracting What You Like!



Why not put this profound power to your advantage instead of unconsciously “living by default?” In this light, the Law of Attraction is about consciously and deliberately creating the condition of your life. It’s about attracting what you desire by changing yourself; changing yourself by changing your thinking.



The Universe is like a genie in a the lamp, tell the Universe what you want ( only once), believe you have it already and wait for it's manifestation.
