A Natural & Appropriate Makeup For Daily Use

When selecting your make up, make sure you use proper lighting. For day wear, use natural light or a very white light. And for evening wear, a very slight blue light to apply by would be ideal. Never apply makeup by a yellow light. It will make you add too much make-up and the effect will not be good enough.

Some imporatnt Tips for daywear makeup

- Cleaning - Clean your face from any natural or added oils and creams – this will allow your makeup to stay even, and look natural.

- Foundation– Choose your foundation and compact powder to match your own skin tone. Never choose a shade more than one shade darker or lighter than your own skin tone.


- Base - Apply a foundation first to all parts of your face, blending it over and down your throat. Make sure it is blended well over your skin.


- Eyebrows – Natural eyebrows only need a slight brushing. If added color is needed, use the exact color of your own eyebrow. A soft eyebrow pencil is excellent for adding color that looks natural. If you use a hard lead pencil, it will color your skin, and not the eyebrow hairs. For added shape, use a brush and add color lightly.

- Eye makeup – In the case of eye shadow, choose a color that will enhance your eye color. (If it is for evening-match your clothing) applying eye shadows is an art. Use at least three colors all from the same color group. Start with your eyelid. Apply the lightest color there, medium in eyelid crease the darker color up to meet the eyebrow. Also apply the lighter color to the edges of the darkest color at the edges away from the center. After you have applied all applications, use the tip of your finger and blend it all together slightly.

- Eyeliner – Use a medium brown or black. Use a tube liquid. It applies smoother and more evenly. Apply it to the edge of your eyelid above your eyelashes. Use long strokes to apply and make sure it is very close to your eyelashes. This brings your eyelashes and your eyelid into one. (If evening-you can extend the line at the side as a fuller look). Day wear should stop even at the edge of your eye.

- Eyelashes – Use the browns or blacks. Using mascara with a brush, apply the mascara in full long strokes working upwards. This also will help the eyelashes to curl up instead of straight or down. Allow it to dry for a few seconds and apply again. A third layer may be used. Then, using an eyelash comb, slightly comb your eyelashes to part the hairs individually. Use can also use an eyelash curler to add make your eyes attractive.



- Lips (Lipsticks, glosses and liners) – Choose a colour that will blend well with your blush. Use a shade darker for the liner, fill in with the lipstick and cover with a nice gloss for that wet look. Lips are very easy to do. Never-make un-natural peaks, but to make lips more supple looking; you may apply the colour and liner slightly above your own natural lip line. If you have deep lines in your lips, add more colours then use a lip brush to smooth the lines. This will hide any unwanted lines.


A healthy skin can easily be achieved by a proper diet and adequate skincare. But sometimes it as been observed that in spite of a proper skin care and all the efforts skin shows problems. A healthy and effective skincare for skin problems is part of overall good health.

A proper skin care reduces the skin damage end thus reduces the premature aging of skin. The article summarizes few of the most common types of skin problems observed in women and their precaution to avoid or minimize these problems:

Open and enlarged pores
Oil glands present in the skin sometimes results in excessive oil discharge from the skin resulting in blockage of the pores. These blocked pores lead to elasticity loss of pores which makes the rough and coarse. The best prevention for open pores is to keep the skin oil free.






IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR COVERING SCARS

There can be many reasons but mainly freckles or dark spots are developed by the repetitive exposure of sunlight to skin. On exposure to sun the pigment present in the inner layer of skin increases causing tanning. In fairer people the pigment gets accommodated in an irregular and patchy form showing in the form of dark spots.


Precautions:
Dont forget to wear a sunscreen before going out in sun.These are few tips to reduce freckles:


- Mix 2 tablespoons of grounded almonds with half a cup of yogurt. Apply once or twice a week.
- Prepare a mixture of half cup of papaya, one tablespoon honey and 3 tablespoon oatmeal. The mixture is quite effective in reducing dark spots /freckles.
- Mix olive oil & honey along with rose water & glycerine,wash off when dried.
- Prepare a mixture of yogurt and a pinch of turmeric. Apply and leave for 5-10 mins. Wash it off with cold water.
- Scrubbing is important to remove dead skin. It is advisable to use a face scrub twice a week. Apply cold milk on dry skin after scrubbing to get desired results


Acne
Acne is the most common skin disease treated by dermotologists. It is a chronic problem that affects over 86% to 87% of adolescents and young adults. One estimate showed that about two-thirds of teenagers with acne wanted to talk to their doctor about their acne, but only one-third actually can.


Kinds of Acne
all acne cases are not the same.Acne can be divided into red bumps and blackheads/whiteheads. Division is important because each type is treated differently. Blackheads and whiteheads, can be more numerous on the face and shoulders than red bumps filled with pus. Good, consistent skin hygiene can help getting rid of them or to improve this condition. That is why knowing more about what is the reason of comedones and how to treat them is a step towards clearer skin.

What is BlackHead:

According to dermatologists, blackheads are the first stage of acne, forming before bacteria invade the pores of our skin, which in turn results in infection and inflammation (otherwise known as the pimple). These lesions typically develop after puberty, when hormones begin surging into the body and skin.Blackheads are mostly referred to as open comedones. These bumps are usually indented and may look like tiny plugs. The confusion over blackheads and whiteheads has to do with the fact that blackheads accompany oily skin where whiteheads could be present on oily or dry skin.

How To Remove BlackHeads:
1.Use a mild deap cleansing scrub or to remove any dead cells and make the pore open & exposed.
2.Pat your face dry.
3.Take steam,Place a slightly warm compress on your face for approximately 7-10 minutes in order to soften the blackhead,so that it'll be easy to remove.
4.Pat your face dry once again.
5.Place a piece of tissue on the tip of each finger to avoid slipping, which could tear the skin and cause further damage.
6.Gently apply even pressure to both sides of the blackhead by pushing down, then up around the blemish. You're trying to apply the pressure from *underneath* the blackhead.
Only attempt this once or twice. If it does not "pop", you may bruise the skin, make the blackhead worse, and could cause scarring.
