Mascara Wisdom
Many women love the look models sport with their eyes, long lashes that brings utter drama to their catwalk ways. You too can benefit from the use of mascara with a few simple tips, bringing the best out of your eyes giving you that model look. Mascara is good only for 3 months for it dries up even if kept sealed, this is good advice for those who live in the tropics for they tend to get lumpy leaving you with uneven lashes.
Application should be from the base to the tips and can be achieved easy with the use of a mirror held at nose level pointing up to show you the roots allowing proper application. Moving the brush back and forth allows maximum application getting more of the product on at every stroke. It takes time to properly apply mascara for too fast and it doesn’t look nice, too slow and you get it drying before you get to properly put it on. Practice makes perfect and with some trials, you can get it done right for sure. Eyes give drama even to the most dreary looking faces, added to a well done makeup application and you get that model look you’ve always wanted.
Keep it cool!
Live in the tropics where global warming has resulted in even hotter temperatures? Consider reserving a space for your pricey make-up in the fridge to save them from meltdown. Stuff like lipstick, eyeliners and other expensive makeup have some waxes and gelling agents that may melt thus lessening their usability. Organics or make-up with natural ingredients normally have no preservatives mixed in so they can indeed spoil and go rancid on you. Some oils degrade in warm weather and so on and so forth, keep them way out of reach of your toddler though, for their normally catchy colors and attractive shapes make them magnets for curious kids.
Keep them on a high shelf in a corner they can’t normally reach(not the freezer for any moisture within them will cause ice formation ruining it forever).
Accurate Eyeliner

Finishing eye makeup or accenting the bare eye using the eyeliner is often considered essential. We would be surprised at how much of a difference adding a touch of black eyeliner on the lower rim of your eye can be. There are many different types of liner like gel to kohl to liquid to pencil–and nearly infinite shades, texture and colors that vary from brand to brand. Pencil liners are similar to both kohl and gel liners, but they might seem a bit “wetter” and more movable. Liquid liner on the other hand is just what it says; liquid color that is applied using either a separate brush or with an included applicator. One of the biggest differences between liquid and other forms of liner are that liquid liners can allow for stronger color, often have longer staying power, and more precision.
What Blush to Use?

We often ask what kind of blush to buy or what we should use during the right time of the day. There are many different types but the 5 main types we can choose from and know when to use it, day or night.
For all skin types and best for oily skin is Powder blush. It is the densest blusher and long-lasting color; The Cream Blush is the type best applied with fingers. It is particularly suited for dry skin because of its rich moisturizing ingredients. For a sheer glow, the Gel blush work best on oily to normal skin and are not hard to spread since they are fast-drying. Tint Blush is fast drying like the gel blush. It can look streaky over foundation if not blended well into face. Once it’s set it won’t budge until you wash your face. Gleam bush are best for night time. It is great for giving a light gleam to your cheekbones and accentuates them.

More on lip color
Use sheer for a more naturally, wet and shiny look. Sheers include glosses, stains, and tints.
To draw attention to your lips, make them fuller by using shimmer. They look more subtle after applied to the lips. On the other hand, matte or semi matte lip colors make lips look thinner because of its warm, natural effect when applied.
Cream lip colors are lighter and smoother than mattes. They are usually fortified with oils and conditioners to make lips softer and more moisturized. Mattes and creams can come in long-lasting formula that uses heat from the lips to stimulate constant color discharge up to eight hours.

Comments(1)The Right Shade of Foundation
Makeup is used to make someone look and feel better and boosts up the confidence of women. Different colors and textures of makeups can do wonders for you, accentuating and making your face look more radiant, thus improving your appearance.
Women sometimes find it difficult to find the right color of foundation for their skin. Experts say, that women with brown complexion should blend two shades of foundation or apply different shades of foundation to different parts of the face. Some women even prefer to have their own shade of foundation. Custom blending is now an advance for women with brown skin. However, it is more expensive than those ready-made foundations that can be bought in stores. But if you still can’t find the right shade for you, it is better to consult a makeup expert for advice.
