Everyday Beauty Tips
LIPS: The key to using lip liner correctly is either to match it to the color of you lips, or to choose a shade that closely matches your lipstick. If you tend to only re-apply your lipstick occasionally, it's safer to select one that matches your skin tone, since once your lipstick has faded or worn off, you'll end up with a ring around your lips. Rather than drawing a thick solid line, blend lip liner seamlessly into your lip by using tiny horizontal strokes to build up the color subtly. Glimmersticks Lip Liner comes in many shades. One is sure to be a perfect match for your lips.
EYES: Wearing too much mascara can make us look older. Heavy lashes cast shadows under the eyes, accentuating fine lines and creating dark circles. To get the right look, use an eye lash curler, which helps to make lashes naturally frame your eye. Then apply Daring Curves Mascara. The specially designed brush defines lashes to create maximum lift and impact with the least amount of mascara.
HAIR: If you color your hair, you should know that sun exposure and mineral deposits in tap water can dull your hair, making it appear tinny or brassy. Advance Techniques Color Protection Shampoo contains UV filters and other protectants that coat each hair strand. Follow with Advance Techniques Color Protection Conditioner. It infuses hair with moisture-sealing conditioners that maintain vibrancy and extend the color life of your hair.
FRAGRANCE TIP: You can have too much of a good thing - too much fragrance can drive people away. You'll know you're wearing the right amount of fragrance if only you and someone close enough to embrace you is able to catch the scent of it.
10 Basic Steps of Makeup Application:
Step 1: Concealer: Softens lines, hides blemishes and under-eye circles. (Should be one shade lighter than foundation.
Step 2: Foundation: Creates the perfect base. Pick a shade that blends in and looks natural.
Step 3: Powder: The ultimate makeup tool for setting and blending makeup. Apply after foundation and before blush.
Step 4: Blush: Accents bone structure and adds a glow to your face. DO NOT apply too much! You want it to look like you are naturally blushing!
Step 5: Eyeshadow: Defines and accents natural eye colour. Apply a light colour over lid, a medium colour on lower lid up to crease and a darker colour on crease of lid to add depth.
Step 6: Eye Liner: Reshapes, dramatizes your eyes and gives illusion of thicker lashes. Tip: apply with a steady hand with eyes half closed while looking in mirror.
Step 7: Mascara: Enlarges and enhances eyes. Tip: Hold wand horizontally and sweep upwards to lengthen lashes. Hold wand vertically and sweep tip back and forth to separate lashes.
Step 8: Eyebrown Pencil: Lines and defines eyebrows. Always keep your eyebrows well groomed as eyebrows "frame" your face.
Step 9: Lip Liner: Holds lip colour, defines and shapes lips. Choose a shade that either matches your lip colour or a shade as close as possible to your lipstick colour.
Step 10: Lipstick: Defines and shapes your lips, moisturizes too! Tip: Your blush and lipstick should be in the same colour family.
