How to Accentuate Your Cheekbones

On 05.28.10, In Make Up, Uncategorized, By Stevie Wonder

Instant Bone Structure

A strong bone structure gives a face a certain presence and definition.  If you have prominent cheek bones and a confident jawline, it does not matter how close set your eyes, how bulbous your nose, or how lopsided your lips, you are still going to turn heads.  Most of us do not have prominent cheekbones, so we rely on blush it to draw attention to our cheeks.  Even a light tone of blusher can attractively accentuate the line of the cheekbone.

Women with sallow skin like to apply cheek color because it makes their skin look more vibrant.  The appearance of prominent bone structure is created by the application of a hint of color on cheek bones, on the chin and at the temples.

Types of Cheek Color

Cheek color comes in several forms.  The most common types are blush and rouge.  Blush is a colored powder you apply with a special  blush brush, and rouge is a cream that is applied with your fingers or a makeup sponge.  Cream rouge is usually packaged in a small pot.  Other forms of cheek color are translucent gel which is packaged in a tube, swivel-up cheek color sticks or liquid cheek color.  Liquid cheek color looks like colored water when it is applied, yet it creates a budge-proof translucent stain on your skin.

Brush on blush powder is convenient to carry in a purse.  It is also easy to use, and it gives you subtle, effective results.  Mineral blush is the newest type of blush powder on the market today, and it is becoming very popular.

What type of cheek color should you use?  The drier your skin, the creamier your makeup should be.  Rouge and swivel-up cheek color sticks are great for dry complexions.  Gel and liquid cheek color are terrific for normal skin.  Brush-on blush, which can be used successfully on all types of skin, is a must for oily skin.  Brush-on blush will help reduce shine on anyone’s complexion, but especially for those with oily skin.

Highlighting cream, also referred to as highlighter, is a nice extra touch, not necessary but nice to have.  Highlighting cream is pale and slightly pearlescent.  It catches the light, making a feature appear more prominent.  The results of using highlighting cream are not at all obvious, but are very very attractive.  Pat a minute amount under your brow bone, on the tops of your cheek bones and on your jawbone for best results.

Cheek Makeup Colors

Highlighting cream is available in shades of pink, peach, silver, pale yellow, gold or copper undertone.  It is most often packaged in a small pot, but you can find it in swivel-up sticks, as powder, with a wand applicator or as a liquid.

Great Beauty Tips

On 05.17.10, In Make Up, Uncategorized, By Stevie Wonder

I’d like to think that all women believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder; however, this does not distract women from the fact that it does not hurt to tweak our god-given beauty with man-made cosmetic products. We all know that girls make it a point to look their best. Girls always update their closets and they always scour the fashion magazines for the latest fashion trends. Because, honestly, who doesn’t want to look their best at all times?

However, looking our best is not as easy as it sounds. Trends come and go, and they can get confusing. To help you keep up with the trends, here are a few tips that you can follow so that you keep looking your best at all times.

One of the simplest yet most effective beauty tips is keeping your skin clean; especially after a whole day wearing make-up. Washing your skin regularly helps you prevent common skin problems such as acne. Regularly wash your face with facial wash, not regular soap, to keep your skin glowing and radiant. You can also use a face mask that will help you achieve a younger looking skin; it will also help you refresh your skin after a whole day. A lot stores carry face masks that are natural ingredients that will help your skin be healthy. Don’t forget that having great looking skin is only part of looking great. For the finishing touch, use some Versace perfume or scented spray to make yourself smell wonderful.

After cleaning your skin, you should moisturize your skin. You should regularly moisturize your skin to keep your skin healthy and rosy. You should also keep your skin moisturized before putting on any kind of makeup. The moisturizer also serves as a protective coating against the make-up. Nowadays, most cosmetic companies carry moisturizer/foundation combos that will help you cover up some of your flaws while keeping your skin healthy.

After taking care of your hair, you need to take care of your hair. When a woman has healthy hair, it adds to her overall look. Find an effective conditioner and shampoo product that will give you healthier hair; make sure that you choose a hair product that serves your hair type. Some shampoos and conditioners serve fine hair better than others, while other hair products help women with large volume hair tame their manes. After cleaning your hair, you can also use a hair serum to give your hair a healthy shine and, at the same time, control. A good hair cut will also contribute to the complete look of a woman.

Once you have fixed your skin and your hair, the next thing you need to focus on are your facial features. Your eyes and your lips are your most prominent features and you need to enhance them. As a general rule, if you like wearing strong eye make-up you need to ease up on your lip color, in the same way, if you like wearing strong colors on your lips, you need to keep your eye makeup simple. Check out Revlon lipstick for a wide variety of colors that go great with all kinds of different looks.

If You Put on Eye Shadow, Do It Right!

On 04.23.10, In Make Up, Uncategorized, By Stevie Wonder

Using eyeshadow correctly can dramatically enhance the eyes, with careful color consideration and gentle application, eyes can be captivating.

Powder eyeshadow is probably the easiest to use. For application, brushes, sponges and even fingers work well. For a lighter look, use a brush and for more drama, apply the eyeshadow with a sponge tip applicator. Fingers are great tools for applying any kind of make up, especially eyeshadow cosmetics, as they are extensions of the body, hence, they have the most control.

A darker shadow is better for evening, while a lighter more neutral palate is better for the day, work or play. Depending on the eye color, different types of the eye shadow work better and the goal is to enhance the eye and bring out natural beauty. Whereas many people think to use matching colors to their eyes, contrast is actually better. For instance, blue liner or an accent green shadow looks great on brown eyes, while a brown or gentle black liner works well with blue eyes. With deep set eyes, a bright color gives a nice pop and brings them out, a color like almost white is pretty during the day and a silver eyeshadow can be stunning at night, especially on darker colored deep set eyes like brown.

A great trick is to use the eyeshadow itself as eyeliner, just wet a slanted brush and run it over the eyeshadow, then line the eyes with it. A contrasting color can be used than on the lid, or just the same color but a bit heavier to achieve a darker look works great.

Misuse of eyeshadow can be a disaster. Care must be used not to apply too much or too dark of a color. Eyeliner should be used sparingly for a gentle look. Having fun with makeup, especially eyeshadow can add to a wardrobe and an everyday look, but still should be used tastefully.

MAC Makeup Products – A Cut Above the Rest

On 02.25.10, In Make Up, By Stevie Wonder

Every so often, new corporations and brand names surface and have a huge impact on consumers. Once in a while, some stay strong, but many die quickly. MAC Cosmetics – one of the market’s most popular cosmetics companies, makes a huge impact even now to maintain the stronghold they have held over the beauty industry over the past twenty years or more. And, not only do the consumers adore this company, but so do celebrities and makeup artists. Obviously, they stand out for many reasons, like their quality products and their choice of colors.

From its launch, women have flocked to the products and stayed loyal to the company because they are continuously satisfied. With loyal clients and excellent products, it’s no doubt that this corporation will be around for many years. Products like their powders sell themselves. One of their strongest selling points for MAC makeup is that they just don’t go on like other brands, leaving a caking mess on the skin.

Additionally, MAC is known for its wide array of colors that they offer in their lip products. They go on a great and continue to moisturize the lips, leaving the lips feeling terrific.

Even the width of the eyeshadow people have many to choose from is outstanding. The only downside is the overwhelming feeling that many women may feel because of the many choices. But, when things always for sure, this company is always adding new lines and incredible colors for every season.

The high quality textures really can’t be compared. In addition to that, the pigments that are used are obviously superior to many other companies. Although it may seem pricier than the lower end cosmetics that you can purchase practically anywhere, the finished results will be worth the few extra dollars you’ll be paying. The bottom line is they really are quite affordable, unlike some designer makeup that’s just too pricey for every one. MAC also has professional makeup artists at their cosmetics counters so customers can get professional makeovers and simultaneous makeup tutorials to help them recreate their new looks at home after purchasing their makeup.

Another good point that must be mentioned about MAC Cosmetics, is that it tests its products in ways that do not pose any cruelty to animals. MAC also has programs that support recycling and AIDS research. Instead of simply purchasing beauty products, you can be confident knowing you are supporting a good cause as well.
