FOUNDATION TIPS

Foundation Tips

Choosing a New Foundation :
Are you a little nervous when it comes time to buy a new bottle of foundation and you don't have a clue what color will work for you simply by looking at the color through the bottle? That happened to me and I used this trick. Take your old bottle with you and use it to match the color on the new foundation. Simply hold the old bottle up to the new brand and find a match. Couldn't be simpler.

Foundation and Streaks :
Be sure to blend, blend, blend. Special areas to watch is the hair and jaw line. And be sure that your face isn't one color and your neck another.


Freckles :
If your freckles are light, don't even try to cover them up. Show them off by using a sheer foundation. If you happen to have the darker ones that you just can't live with, choose a cream foundation to cover and even out skin tones.


Getting Your Skin Ready For Foundation :
Foundation flows on more smoothly if you have a layer of moisturizer already in place.

Ruddy Skin Tones :
You can tone down a ruddy complexion with a beige foundation


Setting Foundation :
Loose powder appliec generously with a puff and then brush off the excess with a large natural bristled brush will set your foundation for several hours.


Sponges Wet or Dry :
I always apply foundation with a wet sea sponge. I like this variety even more than the little wedges that are available. When wet, the sponge promises a sheer layer of coverage. Try it both ways, and see which you prefer.


Summer Foundation vs. Winter Foundation :
You will no doubt find that the shade of foundation that matches your skin color will change with the seasons. You might want to invest in a Bronzing Liquid that you can mix into your "winter foundation" so that it will match your tan. And don't mix it in the bottle. Pour a little into your hand and mix it there.


Where Do You Apply Foundation :
It is not necessary to cover your entire face. Dot it only in the areas you might need it. In most cases, you will find areas of you face that are different shades. Your foundation will even them out.

blushing tips







Are You Blushing? :
Did you know that there is nothing like a little blush to perk you up after a long day at the office. You might be feeling exhausted, but you would be surprised what a little blush will accomplish. Carry it with you at all times.


Combining The Colors You Have :
Do you have a few of shades of blush in your makeup collection? Most of us do, so try combining the colors to make new ones. The possibilities are endless. Try combining pinks and peaches together. You will be surprised at the shades you can create.

Do I Add More? :
There are two ways to know if you have enough blush to perk up your coloring. Either wait until all of your makeup is in place and then apply your blush or, apply a first layer of blush and then check it again when your makeup is complete to see if the intensity is right. It's your choice. Both will work.


Don't Put Blush Here :
Don't be tempted to put blush on your chin. I know that it seems to give a sun kissed look but your neck is usually lighter than your face and the blush is going to draw your attention to this fact in a big way. You can put a dusting of blush on the tendons below the ears however! It can be a very pretty touch.


Dramatic Cheekbones :
Before you turn to sculpting perfect cheekbones, finish your eye makeup and your lipstick application so that you can judge the correct amount of color required. It will be very easy to use too much. You are after balance and this can be done if the eyes and lips are taken care of first.

How are Blusher Gels Different? :
Gel blushes are for the very young or those with impeccable skin. It will look as if you aren't wearing a thing and the touch of color will look so natural. They don't seem to have the lasting power of the cream and powder combination.

How To Tone Down Blush :
Did you make a bad purchase? According to Gale Hayman, author of "How Do I Look", sometimes brushing a little face powder over the bright blush will tone it down nicely.

Life Expectancy of Blush :
A good rule of thumb is to toss it after 6 months. I know that the compact won't be close to empty but six months is plenty long enough to transfer bacteria to the powder and you don't want to transfer that to your face. Just a little scratch is all it would take to start an infection. And keep your blush brush as clean as possible!

Make Your Blush Last Longer :
It doesn't take as long to sweep a little powdered shadow onto your cheekbones, but it just doesn't last very long. Try this instead. Smooth on a little cream blush and then apply the powdered shadow in the same shade family and watch how long the color lasts now.

Makeup Tip :
Blush can be a nightmare for some. Just where exactly does it go? Well, in a nutshell, here goes. You look for the fullest part of your cheek and thats where your blush goes. Take your blush brush and sweep the color back toward the temple. Its that simple. Now, here is a little trick. Once you have your blush in place, take a cotton ball and blend until you have just a hint of natural looking color. Subtle is the key word here. No strips of color please.

Natural Looking Blush :
There are lots of little tricks to use with blush. Here's one of them. Apply it after your moisturizer but before your foundation. This technique will give you a natural glow of color that is very subtle.

Should I Suck In My Cheeks? :
I see this so often when I'm at the mall. Women apparently think that they are supposed to suck in their cheeks and then sweep a band of color beneath their cheekbones. Apparently, that is exactly what it looks like. I don't know who made up that rule of application, but it doesn't work. Color should be applied on the apple of your cheek and then blend the color up to your hairline.

Staying Power Blush Tip :
If your blush won't stay on it could be because your skin is too oily. Try using a mild astringent on the cheek area before applying the blush. Start out with a cream blush, topped off with a little powder and top it off with a dry blusher. Remember to blend it well.

What Color is My Natural Blush Color? :
You want a color that is natural but have no way of knowing what that color might be?? Here's a quick way to find out. Check out your face when you come in from the cold. You will see your natural color AND you will see where you blush naturally as well.

Why Don't Blushers Stay On :
Have you asked yourself this question a million times? Okay, here is what could be causing your problem. You have oily skin. You might want to use a mild astringent before you put on your makeup. Now for the blusher. If you love cream blushers like I do, all is not lost. You can still use it. Just be sure to apply a light layer of face powder over the cream blush followed by a layer of dry blush. Using two different textures will ensure that the color lasts as long as you want it to.

HAIR TIPS

Change Hairstyle :
To add impact for the holidays, change your hairstyle. If you usually wear it down, wear it up. If you usually wear it up, let it down.

Glamour for Long Hair :
Add that extra touch of glamour to extra-bare party attire with long,smooth hair parted off tothe side. Apply a dollop of smoothing cream (like Redkin Straight) to damp hair before blow-drying it straight. Finish off with a dab of shine serum (like Matrix Biolage Shine Renewal).

Homemade Hair Spray :
Chop one lemon (or an orange for dry hair). Place in a pot with 2 cups water. Boil until half of the initial amount remains. Cool, strain, and place in a spray bottle. Store in the refrigerator.

If it is too sticky, add more water. Add one ounce rubbing alcohol as a preservative and then the spray can be stored for up to two weeks unrefrigerated.


Short Hairstyles :
To add impact to short hair, slick it back or curl and crush with fingers.


If Your Hair Is Wavy :
Lather up with a shine-enhancing shampoo and conditioner. Rinse well. Smooth and separate wet strands with wide-tooth comb, then spritz a silicone-based shine-enhancing spray from ends to roots.

Dry hair using a blowdryer with a tapered nozzle to direct air down the hair shaft and seal the cuticle.


A Bit About Leave In Conditioners :
Have you tried leave in conditioners? They are especially ideal if are pushed for time. The nice thing about them is that they won't weigh down your hair and even helps tame flyaway hair. It is also a good solution if the ends of your hair are extremely dry. Simply smooth a small amount of conditioner to the ends to help hydrate and protect. Your hair will even look better.


Are The Ends of Your Hair Frying? :
Cup the ends of your hair in your hands and direct the heat (set at cool) over your hands. Drying in this manner will prevent the air from hitting the dry fragile ends of the hair.


Before You Color Your Hair :
The week before you color you hair, be sure to really condition the ends so that they don't absorb too much color during the process. The ends of your hair tend to be the most porous and have a tendency to really soak up color.


Boost That Shine :
Once your hair is completely dry, finish it off with a cool blast to seal the cuticle. If the cuticle is ragged, no shine.


Condition Your Hair :
Conditioning is not a step you want to skip. It adds protection to your hair by coating each strand against wear and tear and offers added shine as well. By coating each strand, it offers easier detangling which will prevent your hair from breaking at this critical time.

Fine Hair and Conditioners :
Use conditioners sparingly so that you don't weigh down your hair. A medium size round brush and a volumizer will definitely make it look thicker.

Foods To Avoid For Healthy Hair :
To ensure that the hair that is forming beneath the surface of your scalp is healthy, there are a few foods that you should avoid and replace them with fresh fruits and vegetables. They include too many sweets, chocolate, cakes and cookies. Unfortunately, these favorites simply don't do a thing for your hair.

Gels For Your Hair :
If your hair has curl, a gel can be your best friend. Dry it to the stage where it is almost dry and then squeeze a little into your hand. Distribute it through your hair with your fingers and then scrunch it through your hair. Allow hair to completely dry and the gel will hold it in place. What is especially nice is the fact that you can reactivate it teh next day by misting your hair with water and scrunching again.

Going Red :
Your skin tones will play a big part in choosing the shade of red that you will choose. If you have olive skin tones, go for a cool red, while those with fair skin tones will look better with a red/orange cast to the color.

Growing Out Your Hair :
There are a few ways to gracefully grow out that cut. You can use a gel to help lift up the roots, you can use a hairband to get the hair off your face or change the lok of your bangs with a little help from a blow dryer and a round brush.

Hair Coloring At Home :
If you color your hair at home, always save the package that the product came in. It will provide you with important information on active ingredients an emergency hotline you can call if anything goes wrong. It will also remind you of the color name and number for purchasing the next time around.

Hair Drying and The Brush :
We all know how vulnerable our hair is while it is wet and using the brush can really do some damage. After you shampoo your hair, blot it dry with a towel and then try to detangle it with your fingers. Don't use the brush. This is the time when you can stretch the strands and weaken them to the point where they snap. The brush used on wet hair can also cause frizzing to occurr. Don't pick up the brush until your hair is somewhere between damp and dry and then it is okay to use the blow dryer and a round brush until it is styled and completely dry.

Hair Moisturizer Recipe :
That old fashioned mayonnaise (not the low cal variety) is a great moisturizer for your hair. Shampoo as usual and then apply about a tablespoon. Wrap your hair in a plastic shower cap for a half hour and then re-shampoo and rinse thoroughly.

Hair Style To Make Your Neck Look Longer :
Did you know that according to the hairstylest simply known as "Garren", a shag can make your neck look longer and your face look thinner.

Hair Tips :
Washing brushes should be done on a need to basis. They will collect natural oils from your hair as well as an assortment of styling products. A mild soap should be used and then the brush should be air dried. When the bristles start to soften, it's time for a new one.


How Diet Can Affect Your Hair :
The hair that you can see is already dead and there's nothing your diet can do to help this hair but the hair beneath the skin is still being nourished by the papilla. A good diet ensure healthy hairs being formed.


How Do I Shampoo Correctly? :
Pour about a tablspoon and a half into an empty shampoo bottle and then dilute with a little warm water. Give it a good shake. Shampoos are very concentrated and most of the time, we use too much.

Wet your hair thoroughly and then pour on a little of the diluted shampoo. Massage your scalp with the pads of your fingertips, not your nails. Be sure to pay attention to the hairline where makeup can collect.

Rinse well and then check for shampoo residue. It should be visible on your fingertips. If you notice traces of shampoo, continue rinsing.p>Add conditioner to your hair following instructions given on bottle. Rinse if required. Squeeze the water from your hair and then blot it dry. Don't rub because wet hair is very vulnerable and breakage can occur.


Keep Moving :
If you don't keep the blow dryer moving every few seconds, you can damage the cuticle and there goes your shine.


Let Your Brush Add Shine :
Use your blow dryer and a natural bristle brush to evenly distribute scalp oils. This will accentuate your hair's lustre.


Lock In That Curl :
Using your diffuser attachment, lean your head to one side and start scrunching your hair from the bottom to the (top all around your head) Finish off with a blast of cool air to lock in the curl. So simple a procedure but very effective.


Make Your Own Spray-On-Conditioner :
Here is a quick way to make your own spray on conditioner and it works just as well as the brands that are on the store shelves. All you have to do is mix 1 part of your favorite conditioner with 5 parts water. Pour it in an empty hair spray container and spritz it on instead. Tangles are gone and so is the frizz!.


My Hair is Falling Out :
If you find that suddenly your hair is falling out in handfulls, it would be a good idea to mention the fact to the doctor. There are a lot of factors that could be causing the problem which include hormones, stress, anemia, poor diet, pregnancy and genetic factors. This condition can also take place at menopause. Thyroid and Alopecia can also be reasons so be sure to have the condition looked at. We naturally lose about 100 hairs a day so if you are losing more than this, it is something that should be looked into.


Save The Outer Hair :
The blow dryer most often hits the outer layer of hair. to give it a break, bend over and dry your hair upside down. You can use any of the previous techniques given for blow drying.


SHAMPOO TIPS!! :
Shampooing your hair...there are some tricks!
never use hot water..use tepid
use about a quarter size amount of shampoo and massage it into your scalp from front to back
rinse..this should take between 3-5 minutes
apply conditioner from the ends of your hair up to the roots (not the other way around) and comb it gently through your hair
rinse another 3 minutes, followed by a blast of cool water to help seal
blot your hair dry, don't tousle...not good for your hair or the style.


Shine Up Your Hair :
Mash up an avocado with a tablespoon of olive oil and a tsp of baking powder. Mix until well combined and then work the mixture through your hair. Go and surf my site for 15 minutes and then wash out.


Simply Smooth :
Here is a quick way to shower, blowdry and come out with a sleek look. Roll the hair at the crown around one or two large rollers. Separate the rest of your hair into small sections and wrap your head, securing each section with a clip that does not leave ridges. Blowdry and then remove rollers and clips.


Swimming and Hair Care :
Always rinse your hair after swimming. The chlorine will not only dry out your hair but it will dull your color as well.


What A Good Style Should Do For You :
A really good style should promote your best feature... gorgeous eyes, good jaw line etc. It should also draw the eye away from a bad feature.


What is Hair Wax? :
Hair wax is a styling aid that is either a gum consistancy or that of paste. It is great for those styles that are freeform ringlets. Simply rub a little between your palms to warm up and then distribute through your hair. Now twist away. Bumble and Bumble makes such a product


Yanking Gray Hair :
Pulling out gray hairs will not contribute to more gray hairs. It will just be replaced with another one...gray too I'm afraid.
To ensure that the hair that is forming beneath the surface of your scalp is healthy, there are a few foods that you should avoid and replace them with fresh fruits and vegetables. They include too many sweets, chocolate, cakes and cookies. Unfortunately, these favorites simply don't do a thing for your hair.

SKIN CARE TIPS

How To Fight Against Wrinkles :
How you choose to treat wrinkles and other signs of aging depends on what stage of your life you're at.When wrinkles are just beginning to appear, sunblock is the best course of action. At that stage, skin can still repair itself, and wearing sunscreen regularly will prevent further damage and help the skin regenerate itself. An alpha-hydroxy acid product is also a good idea, because it will lightly exfoliate the dulling layer of dead skin and give it a smoother, clearer look.


Dark circles around the eyes :
Use a concealer, go to bed a little earlier than normal, try raising your top of your bed (for sinus problems), cold compresses and plenty of fibrous food in your diet. At last resort, lasers can help take care of the pigmentation problem.


Foot Blisters :
Apparently you have to squeeze a little of the white liquid of the dandelion onto the blister and then cover it with a bandage

Caution:
Only use dandelions that have not been sprayed with pesticides and if this liquid causes any discomfort, wash it off immediately. You could have a skin sensitivity to the substance.


The importance of Vitamin C :
Have you noticed that Vitamin C is used in many skin care products?

Why? It helps in the formation of collagen (the skin's support fibres).Does it work? It varies from person to person, but many people report that their skin's texture seems to be improving.

Usually you have to wait so long to see improvement in your skin's texture. Not so apparently with Vitamin C.


Dehydrated Skin :
Winter months can often mean centrally heated home containing little moisture.

To solve this problem, invest in a humidifier or even place bowls of water around your home. It doesn't take a lot to put moisture back into your environment, you simply have to remember to do it.


Are You Using Shaving Foam? :
Did you know that shaving foams leave an air space between the skin and the foam? This causes a dragging of the razor and could be the reason that you are noticing irritation and even ingrown hair.


Blotchiness :
Have you been plagued with skin blotches, appearing out of no where and have no idea what is causing them? They just simply be hives. Here are some of the things that can cause them... allergies, change in temperature, emotional stress, food, medications or skin infections. If your blotches appear and then disappear... it just could be hives.


Brown Spots :
They have also been known as liver spots, but this is totally incorrect. These spots that often appear on the back of the hands are caused by sunlight exposure or chronic bruising of the skin. There are lots of bleaches that can be purchased from cosmetic firms or you can make some of your own. Sorrel leaves that have been chopped, placed inside a gauze compress and applied for 10 minutes a day have been known to lighten the spots. Repeat every three days.


Exercise And It's Benefits To The Skin :
Exercise brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin so that it is firmer and better nourished. It is also thought to slow down aging.


Exercise and Skin Care :
We all know how important it is to exercise but did you know that it also benefits the appearance of your skin. It increases circulation which delivers nutrients AND allows for a restful sleep which gives the skin the chance to rejuvinate.


Makeup and Gyms :
Never go to the gym with makeup on. When you sweat, it will have all that makeup to get thru and clog up your pours. It is even worse if you can't wash your face for a few hours for some reason.


Masks :
A clay mask dries on the skin. It will soak up oil, draw out impurities and tighten pores. You will find ingredients such as corn or wheat starch, charcoal or titanium dioxide. This kind of mask can be applied all over the face or just in the T- Zone where the skin is the oiliest.


Oil Based Moisturizer vs. Water Based Moisturizers :
During the winter months, especially during extreme temperatures, avoid using a water based moisturizer and choose a oil based instead. The water based variety can literally freeze on your skin.


Oily Skin and How To Care For It :
If you have oily skin, cleanse only two or three times at the very most with a product made for your skin type. Washing more often will only strip the skin of oil which simply revs up the oil glands to replace it. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and then finish off with a toner/ astringent to on the oily areas of your skin. The astringent can be used throughout the day to help control the excess oil that appears.

The astringent can be used throughout the day to help control the excess oil that appears.


Refrigerating Your Lotions :
Playing under the hot sun can do a number on your skin, so don't forget to moisturize your skin as often as you can and to make it feel even better, refrigerate it. It will cool you down in an instant.


Shaving and Your Razor Blade :
The blade should ALWAYS be sharp even if it means changing it at least once a week.


Skin Care Tips :
Here are a few things you can do to care for the skin that you were born with.

avoid stress as much as you are able.
stay out of the sun.
don't smoke. This does nasty things to your skin
drink lots of water
get lots of sleep
be sure to clean your skin properly
eat lots of fruit and vegetables.


Skincare For Those In Their Thirties :
Start relaxing right now. If you can successfully manage your stress, it will mean less wrinkles in the future.


Sun and Aging :
Did you ever notice that it is always the face and the hands that age the fastest? That's because of the exposure to sunlight. To prevent this, STAY OUT OF THE SUN. If you must, apply a good sun block, but it won't completely protect you from the aging process. Staying out of the sunshine is the only answer. In fact, studies have shown that 90% of the aging process can be traced back to exposure to the sun.

EYE BROWS MAKING TIPS

Filling In Your Eyebrows :

Brush brows downward with a dry, mascara-like wand. To define the arch, use the pencil to draw a line along the upper edge of the brow. Comb the brows upward and outward.

If brows have been severely overtweezed, brush the hairs in the direction of the growth, and fill in any visible patches with powder. Avoid adding to the top or bottom of the brows.

Control Your Brows :

Brush brows straight up and then check for hairs that are too long.
Snip any offending hair one at a time with a small pair of scissors.
Brush brows downward and check again.
Repeat the previous step, snipping any hair that seems to be too long.
Brush brows into place and check for any hairs that still might need attention.
Continue brushing and snipping until your brows can be brushed into place naturally.
Perfect Eyebrows :

Brush brows upward. Carefully trim any excess hair above the top of your natural arch. Be careful not to take off too much at the ends or you'll have brow "bald" spots.

Fill in sparse areas with a freshly sharpened brow pencil; use light, quick strokes to draw in hair. Brow powder will give thin brows overall definition, and is great for a more natural look. Using the brow brush, sweep powder up and outward over brows. If you're a brow novice, a tinted brow gel is a foolproof way to keep brows in place. Lightly coat brows using upward and outward strokes. Wipe off any excess and allow it to set.

Brow Color :

But it Hurts :
If plucking is just a little more painful that you can stand, you can apply a little Ambesol (from the drugstore) to numb the area.


Dyeing Your Eyebrows :
Don't attempt this at home. It a very dangerous thing to attempt that could result in blinding yourself. I'm including this tip because a reader asked for my thoughts on trying it themselves. I suggest checking out your cosmetic counter for the brow color that comes in tubes just like mascara. It will only take you seconds to apply and there is not danger.


Eyebrow Tip :
Did you know that your eyebrow is supposed to start directly above the inner corner of your eye? The hightest point should be just a little beyond the outer corner of the iris and should taper off to the end! So now you know!


Soothe Those Brow Tips :
If your Brow Tips Tips are red and irritated from plucking, soothe the area with the help of a few cool, wet, tea bags. It will help immediately.


Sparse Eyebrows :
One you have overplucked your brows, they simply might not grow back. So what do you do about sparse looking brows? Try this. Brush the brows down and then with an angled brush, apply a little color along the top of each brow. Carefully brush brows back into place and check to see if there are any gaps. If so, touch them up with a little powder and then set with a bit of gel on a brush or clear mascara.


Toothbrush Those Brows :
If you are having trouble taming those brows, here is another little trick. Take a toothbrush and spray with a little hair spray and then brush on brows. The stickiness of the hair spray will help keep them in place.


Trimming Brows :
This is another alternative to tweezing. Brush them up and the really long hairs will be very visible. Instead of tweezing and creating a hole, snip it with a pair of tiny scissors. Works wonderfully.

When Not To Pluck :
Try not to pluck right before your period. If it's going to hurt, this will be the time.
