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.

Fall is about the smoky eye look

2009-09-02T17:31:00.000-07:00

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

2009-07-21T04:06:00.000-07:00

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

2009-07-08T16:19:00.001-07:00

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........

It's beauty a kind of radiance. People who possess a true inner beauty, their eyes are a little brighter, their skin a little more dewy. They vibrate at a different frequency.” Cameron Diaz

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.”Sopiah Loren

“Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it” Confucious

What are Grandparents

2009-07-05T17:07:00.000-07:00

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"

2009-07-05T16:18:00.000-07:00

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.

Bridal Makeup Tips

Bridal Makeup Tips
Wedding Day is the most important day in the life of a woman and every young girl desires to look at her best on this blessed day in her life. Here are some tips to make you look gorgeous:
Use heavy-pigmented cream foundation and layer it with powder foundation
to make the skin look smoother.
Use powder foundation on neck, ears and chest too so that you don't seem to have a painted face.
Use a concealer shade similar to the foundation and blend both well.
Learn some camouflage makeup tricks and buy its products to use on your big day.
If you have combination skin, use water based foundation and a dry sponge.
Hide the under eye circles by applying concealer. Blend it towards the nose and use downward strokes.
For a perfect eye shape, use a small brush to blend a medium tone color from just below the brow arch downwards in a semi-circle motion.
Use light peach eye shadow as eyelid base.
Choose lip liner that blends easily with lipstick for that soft glossy look that looks good in photographs too.
Place the focus on the face either on eyes or on lip and underplay the other with neutral pink or brown shades.
Thin and small lips look more sensuous with light lip colors while fuller lips
can use deep shades.

Summer Time Make-Up

2009-07-01T15:55:00.000-07:00

Time to toss your heavy foundations, intense lipsticks and matte powders! It's nearly summertime and that means you can go light handed on the makeup, so switch up your daily routine for a fresh new look.

• Choose light-textured foundation with SPF for your face and sheer, bright colours for your eyes and lips. Go for a velvety nude finish and dewy-looking skin for daytime.

• Warm colours, such as peaches and soft pinks, work better with tanned skin. Try a bold lipstick or lipgloss in a sheer texture to keep your look fresh. You can always kick it up a notch by accenting your eyes in aqua or pastel colours, such as green, blue, purple and yellow -- just be sure to apply and blend them properly.

• Skip heavy makeup; instead, it should be light and fluid in texture and accented with soft colours that look intense and bold when layered. Try a tinted moisturizer with SPF, and use loose powder to set makeup and make your skin look fresh.• If you're headed to the beach, pack sunscreen, waterproof mascara and a bold, brightly coloured lipgloss.

• For the office, use a primer, light foundation or tinted moisturizer with SPF. Wear a neutral lipstick or lipgloss and complement the look with intense mascara. Always keep blotting paper handy to minimize the shiny-face effect.

• For weekend getaways, pack a sheer foundation or concealer with SPF. (A creamy blush can also be used on your lips.) This is the perfect combination for a fresh, dewy look.

• If you're using a self-tanner, exfoliate and cleanse your skin before applying. Test a small amount on the inside of your arm to see how the colour will develop -- this will give you an idea of how much product you'll need. Ensure that your face and all exposed skin are the same tone and intensity. Instead of self-tanner, try a bronzing powder because it gives immediate results.

Makeup Tips For Eyebrows

2009-06-21T04:27:00.000-07:00

Eyebrows give a definition to face and grooming them and giving them shape can make your face look cleaner and more beautiful and make your eyes appear larger and more expressive. Eyebrow pencils are much in use but they may add artificiality to the face. A natural eyebrow look can be achieved by using brow colors with the help of short brush with stiff bristles. Too heavy brows
add a Neolithic look to your face and are supposed to make you look wild and powerful. Here are some useful tips that you can make to make your brows beautiful:

Tweeze only the hairs underneath your brows to shape them.
Many people have beautifully shaped eyebrows naturally that just need to be defined instead of alteration.
Tweezing the brows after the shower is much easier and less painful.
To fill in the gaps in the eyebrow shape, use a color that matches the natural colors of your brows or a shade lighter than that.
For temporary shaved eyebrow look, use eyebrow wax to smooth them and hide them.
Groom the eyebrows using a clear eyebrow gel and an eyebrow brush. Comb them and pluck stray hairs above the brow line.
It is best to stick with natural shape usually and seek professional help for first-time threading.
Calculate the arch of the eyebrows by using the ruler. It should start from the side of your nose to the same line on the outer corner of the eye. The high point should be on the outer side of the pupil.
Fill the gaps with short strokes of the pencil.
Eyebrow color should be two shades darker than your hair color.

Why a Makeup Artist Is Important on your Wedding Day

2009-06-19T13:57:00.000-07:00

Considering your wedding day stands to be one of the most important days of your life, it is thoroughly recommended that you hire a professional makeup artist. Everyone who attends a wedding wants to see what the bride looks like. With all eyes trained on you, you will want to look radiantly beautiful
Wedding photographs are the physical memories you keep for a lifetime; not only will your wedding photographer be shooting hundreds of shots, but many guests also take photos. A professional makeup artist is aware of what sort of effects photography can have on your makeup. For example, without correctly applied makeup you can look washed out when your photograph is taken with a flash.
Makeup artists are very aware about the level of makeup to apply to ensure that it lasts the duration of your wedding day. You would probably never dream of applying the amount of makeup they do without feeling like you are painting on a clown’s face. They have the skill to apply many lasting layers of makeup and still make it look natural.
The majority of brides find themselves pulled in every direction on their wedding day, with many brides commenting afterwards that the day flew by. Finding time to do your own makeup isn't realistic. Typically a makeup artist can work on your face while someone else works on your hair or fingernails. You don't need extra stress on your wedding day, you deserve to be pampered.
To put things in perspective, the cost of hiring a makeup artist is one of the more reasonable wedding costs, typically no more than $100. Compared to wedding dresses, photographers and the reception, it is a very small indulgence to which to treat yourself. You would be unlikely to have a novice take your photos, or make your wedding dress, so why compromise on your makeup?
