Different Lip Shapes & How to Play with Them

Kevin Aucoin was a famous American makeup artist who has left behind a lot of knowledge, tips and most of all, a great makeup brand. His attitude towards lipstick has always included a little big of extravagance and freedom: for instance, he said that following the natural lip shape is only one option to do your makeup, but there is so much more.

Here are some looks that you can create by accentuating on your lips and thinking outside the box:

Natural Lip

This is maybe the most basic lipstick style, with a symmetrically shaped mouth, no overdoing and a nice natural color.

Glamour Girl

Going just a little over the end of the upper lip and extending it slightly was Marylin Monroe’s beauty trick for seductiveness. Definitely a good one!

Uni-Lip

Here the Cupid’s bow is filled and hidden. That creates a fuller lips effect, following the example of fashion icons like Naomi Campbell and Kate Hepburn.

“Bonnie Parker”

This look is more angular and sharp, even though it slightly follows the natural lip shape, resembling a late ’60s à la Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde.

Cupid’s Bow

The exagerration in this look makes it very feminine, seductive and playful. The edges of the drawn lip line are very sharp, and they go both inside and outside of the natural lip line.

The Smokey makeup style

I love to experiment with the style of my makeup, that’s why I’ll present you one of my favorite and I hope you’ll like it

The Smokey makeup style is generally heavy makeup, supposed to be worn at parties or special occasions, but if you adjust it to your need it will look great. Just try to switch the traditional black eyeshadow with some other lighter color. How about pink or pale purple. I think that it will be perfect for a date or some casual appointment. It will give you a dreamy look. Here is what you have to do:

After you’ve prepared your face with a base, foundation or just light BB cream, according to your needs, you should start preparing your eyes for the eyeshadows. First of all apply concealer if you have dark under eye shadows, because these shades are giving you a tired look, you’ll want to get rid of them for sure. After you are done with the concealer, put on an eyeshadow base on your eyelids. It will prepare the lid for the shadows.

Now you’ll need soft, pale brown from the palette – apply with a brush over the crease and blend it in with fingers or clean brush as you are pulling the color out of the eye – at the outer corner of it.
Now put on pale pink, almost white in the inner corner of the eye, going just to the center of the lid. Blend in again, but be sure that you are not hiding the creamy color at the crease.

Now take the pink eyeshadow and apply it at the outer half of the eyelid. Be sure that you are not going too far from the outer corner of the lid. Blend in with a soft brush, so you will make the color look more pastel and not so bright. You can apply brown eyeliner, but stay away from the black one.

Highlight the brow bone and put on mascara.

Now you have to deal with the rest of the makeup. Define your eyebrows by shaping and filling them with the same color brow pencil and brush. Put on some soft, natural pink lip gloss or lipstick and your makeup is done. Now you are ready to enjoy your day while wearing a perfect, daily, smoky eye makeup. Have fun!

Cat Eye Makeup Looks

Cat eye makeup is a huge trend at the moment; thus, lots of variations of this classic look have appeared. The cat eye is not the easiest to do, but once you have mastered it , you can play around with colors and shapes.

Here are 6 ideas of how to do it! Don’t forget the dark mascara in all of these looks.

1. Line slightly with black eyeliner and on top of it add a sparkly red color with a slight wing in the end.
2. Apply a thick black line along the lashline and contour over it with a thin white one. Contour around the wing with the white eyeliner too.
3. Line below the eye with a black eyeliner and finish with a wing. Draw a thick, metallic blue line over the lashline, and draw a wing which is a milimeter higher than the black wing.
4. Draw a black line along the lashline. Then draw another black line leaving a small space between the liner contours. Connect the wings of both lines at the corner of the eye.
5. This cat eye makeup look is maybe the most extravagant one! First, line the inner corner of you eye, below it, with black eyeliner. Draw a lightly-colored line on the eyelid from the inner corner, diagonally spreading to the end of your brow. The wing will look like a thunderbold.
6. Apply very thin black line along the lashline. Contour over it with a light color and finish with a wing.

5 Ways to Reduce Arm Fat

  Arm fat is one of the most unflattering thing a woman can have and, especially in the summer, is very difficult to be hidden. Of course, as all body fat, arm fat can disappear only by physical excercise. Here are 5 ways you can reduce arm fat with training:

1. Skipping
   

Skipping is one of the best cardio workouts and it’s inexpensive, too. “Skipping rope affects arms muscles as you lift your body’s weight as well as move your arms in circular motion. This increases the activity in the arms.” says Gautham Kumar, a fitness expert.

2. Stretching
   

You don’t have to stretch only when you’re working out. Gautama says, “Stretching tones the arm muscles and brings them back in shape. Do it in the office, post meeting or after finishing a report.”

3. Rotate wrist
   

“Hold one to two pounds of dumbbells in each hand and stand up. The gap between your feet should be equal to your shoulder length. Extend both the hands forward and keep them firm. Now, swiftly rotate your wrist upward and inward as far as possible. This will help tone the arm muscles,” says Gatuham. This will affect your shoulders and lower arms and make them slimmer.

4. Lift your body up
   

This one is a bit more difficult, especially for women who are not really strong. Hold a sturdy strong rod that can bear your body weight. Grasp it firmly and pull yourself up the floor. When you go up hold the position for a few seconds and let your arm muscles take all the strain. Do a set of 20 and after a two-minute break, repeat the set.

5. Triceps with one arm
   

Sit on the floor and place your hands almost a foot behind your hips; your fingers should point towards the butt. Your legs and feet should be pressed together, knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Keep your arm straight to raise your hips above the floor. Bend your left elbow only with one arm and lower your butt as close to the floor as possible without actually touching it. Repeat it with right elbow.

Don’t forget to combine the training with a heathy diet involving as much water as possible and the results will come soon!

12 Ways to Make Your Eyes Look Bigger

  In my opinion, big eyes are one of the most attractive features in a woman and I constantly search for ways to make mine look bigger than they already are. Here are some tips on how to make your eyes look bigger and brighter:

1. Lash out
   

Tip number 1 is to use the proper mascara on the proper places. For thickness, apply mascara at the base of the lashes using quick right to left strokes. For length, apply the tip of the mascara wand to the ends of the lashes and drag in an upwards direction.

2. Frame the face

If you want a pollished makeup look, filling in your eyebrows is essential. Find the shape that’s suitable for your face and fill them in with products in the color you desire. Your eyebrows should be a shade of two lighter than your hair color so be careful when choosing your eyebrow products.

3. Line it up

White liner below your lower lash line takes away the pink tone, making you look more awake so be sure to add white liner to your daily makeup routine.

4. Create a cat eye

The winged effect of the cat eye makes your eyes seem bigger so don’t be afraid to play with the eyeliner and create a sexy, wiged cat eye look!

5. Apply illuminator

We’ve talked about illuminators and the reasons you should buy one so I won’t go deep into explanations. You just add some gold dust or pencil to the inner corners of your eyes to bring more light into them and produce the effect of a larger silhouette.

6. Curl your lashes

This is very simple, just use your curler and curl your lashes to make your eyes seem bigger and more awake.

7. Color code

Using two different eye shadows from the same color family creates instant dimension and depth on your lids.

8. Blue

Using blue toned pencil will make the whites of your eyes appear bigger so don’t be afraid do add some color to your everyday look.

9. Bright makeup

Bright eye makeup is like bright pencil – it reflects light and thus makes your eyes look bigger than ever. Try to concentrate color on the middle of the lash line.

10. Use peach concealer

Concealers in peachy tones under your eyes get rid of dark circles and make the eye area appear brighter.

11. Fake lashes

Fake lashes make your eyes as bigger as they ever will be so don’t be afraid to experiment.

12. Apply shimmer

Apply shimmer in the lower lash line to attract light and make your eyes look brighter.

Make Your False Eyelashes Look More Natural

 

False eyelashes are a great match for heavy makeup, nights out and evening events. You can always go wild with them if the occasion permits it. They make your eyes look way more sassy and provide glitz and eye-popping look.

You can see them everywhere, from the television right to the discoteque. Of course, you can see people wearing both incredibly well taken care of eyelashes which look good on them, along with women wearing bad eyelashes which make their eyes look tiny and actually have a horrible appearance. Yeah, we have all seen those, no need to comment it any more than that.

It’s just that sometimes they don’t blend in with your lashes and don’t look as good as we wish to. There is no need to stop applying them, just attach them to your own lashes in order to make them look more natural. Even if that means that you have to put them lash by lash, it’s hard and can get on your nerves at some point, but it’s totally worth it because of the final product.

How do I attach my eyelashes, you ask? Well, in a few easy steps, of course!

Cut the strip lashes so they are as long as the length between the center of your eye to the outer corner.

When you apply the glue, don’t stick the lashes right away! First blow a little bit to the glue in order to make it a bit dry and tacky. That’s the way the lashes will stick perfectly in place!

Use your fingers to apply the fake lash to the outer corner of your lash line and then use tweezers to place them along the lash line. Afterwards hold down for a few minutes until the glue dries evenly everywhere.

At last, do a quick pump with an eyelash curler and apply a few coats of mascara to blend them together and to have an amazing and stunning effect. The key to natural looking false eyelashes is to blend them with your actual lashes together!

1 Eyeliner, 5 Looks!

This product, the eyeliner, is truly incredible! It can create many different looks, and just think about it – it’s a simple line on your eyelid! Below you will read a few types and the way they are made, along with good combinations of products!

1. Casual

Usually the casual eyeliner is a simple thin line on your upper lid and nothing more. No wings, no special effects. The pencil eyeliners are the easier to use for such a liner, rather the the liquid type.

This look is easy to make. Take your eyeliner and dot onto your top lid, making it as close as possible to your eyelashes. Afterwards, while it’s still wet and can be smeared, grab a cotton swab, a brush or your clean finger and blend the dots together. This makes your makeup look nature and pretty much undetectable.

You can also simply draw the line with the eyeliner and give it a bolder look.

2. Work

When you are at work you can attach small wings to your thin eyeliner, accompanied with a neautral eyeshadow. You can both use the dot and connect method, or directly draw it – whateve you may find easier. But, be careful and don’t overdo you eye shadows!

3. Classy

Now, the classy eyeliner is the very well know vintage winger liner. It has longer wings than the working liner and you can actually be more creative when you are doing this makeup. You can combine it with a bit darker shades, but just a bit. It goes well with all kinds of hairstyles and can be fit for many occasions.

4. Evening

Now, the evening eyeliner is not only more complex, but it can be applied along with darker shadows. For the evening you need a more intense look. This involves lining both the upper and lower outer lid. Along with that, combine two colors of eye shadows – one lighter and more neutral, and the other one darker, creating a nice transition between the two colors.

5. Heavy

Now, the heavy makeup is basically a long winged eyeliner, but you can be very creative with it. Like, do a double winged one, make it thicker, draw a line on your lower lid, a tiny bit lower than the rim of your lashes. You can fully outline your eyes and create a cat eye, along with smokey eyeshadows.

How to make your nails grow faster

 To be honest, I had a moment when my nails would always break and would not grow at all. Then I found out that I simply had to consume more vitamins. But now I can even share with you a few tricks on how not only can your nails become stronger, but how they can grow faster as well!

There are many myths about making your nails grow faster – rubbing garlic over the, wiggling your fingers in the air for hours, dietary supplements. Nope. These methods will not work. Actually, I will tell you the truth, you cannot actually make your nails grow that fast. However, you can keep them healthy and strong and just by doing that they will appear longer. You can only fasten the process a little bit.

Firstly, you need to protect your nails. Next time you’re scrubbing in the kitchen, wear a pair of rubber gloves. The kitchen chemicals dry out your nails and make them easy to break. Another important fact is that nails grow faster in warm climates. When it’s cold outside make sure you wear gloves.

Secondly, take Biotin. No, this is not a dietary supplement! It might be part of some, but the Biotin is the Vitamin H and it helps the nails to stay healthy and also benefits the skin and eyes. It will not speed up the growing process, it just makes your nails less-breakable.

Thirdly, Vitamin E. It is recommended for the people who have a gel manicure. This kind of manicure damages the nails a lot and it is actually not a good idea to have it when your nails are weak, but the vitamin reprairs the nail underneath. If you do not use fake nails or gels, Vitamin E can help moisturize your nails and prevent them from breaking as well.

And last, but not least, treat your nails gently. Stop riping and biting your nails. We all know that this is actually a subconcious habit, but you can try your best to get rid of it. Wen you do that you don’t give the chance for your nails to grow. There are actually products in the drug stores that you can apply to your nails to prevent yourself from biting them if you cannot stop by yourself.

Makeup Tips For Beautiful Eyes

I

The makeup tips I’m going to share with you below are some of the best makeup tricks for beautiful natural looking eyes! Just follow the steps and in no time you’ll have the eyes to die for!

Don’t forget the concealer

Always start with the concealer. Be careful when you’re choosing a concealer color because the idea of the concealer to make your skin bright, not to add to your age. Don’t be afraid to choose a concealer with shimmer, because it will reflect light and make your eyes pop even more and will cover the blue undertones a lot better. After you have applied your makeup you won’t even see the shimmer so keep calm – you won’t look like Edward Cullen after you’re done!

Apply it everywhere

Apply concealer under your eyes and on them so you get maximum coverage. Concealer will serve as eyeshadow primer, too!

Use mineral powder

Use mineral powder to lock your concealer and foundation and to use it as a primer for your eyeshadow. Of course, don’t go over board with the powder or your face will look shapeless and white.

Apply white eyeshadow

It may sound weird, but white eyeshadow is the key to big and beautiful eyes. Apply the eyeshadow all the way to the eyebrow - this will create the illusion that your eyes are much more open and wide than they usually are.

Apply dark eyeshadow in the crease

Apply dark eyeshadow in the crease. This way the white eyeshadow will pop up more and the effect will be visible. Don’t use black and grey eyeshadow, go for brown instead for a more daytime look.

Blend it well

Use a fluffy brush to blend everything so there are no harsh lines.

Add the final touches

Add some shimmer to your eyeshadow to make the final touches. It will reflect light and will make your eyes even bigger!

Eyeliner

Of course, you have to add eyeliner! Eyeliner will make your eyes longer and sexier and give your makeup what it needs to look finished and glamorous!

Mascara

Mascara will add volume to your lashes and make your eyes even bigger! Use black mascara to go with the eyeliner or, if you think black is too much, go for a brown one – this way your look will be more natural and appropriate for daytime.

Get Rid Of Your Double Chin

Image Source: © ladahunt - Fotolia

Imagine this: 

Your skin is perfect, your facial features are perfect and beautiful, your body is fit and strong. You could be perfect, but there is one little imperfection, which bothers you and remind you every day that no one is perfect – your double chin. It’s definitely one of my worst nightmares. But, don’t worry, there are tricks, tips and exercises for getting rid of your double chin. Keep reading and you will see that there are several solutions to this problem:

Makeup. 

As a temporary solution you can use makeup, of course, these magical powders and liquids help us all the time. The secret is to define your jawline. Use a powder or foundation, a little bit darker than your skin complexion. Apply all the way from one ear to another and blend in nicely around your neck area. Another makeup trick is to draw attention to your eyes and leave the lower area of your face neutral. Apply interesting eye makeup, or just beautiful cat-eye liner and mascara, or smoky eye effect – there are a lot of options. But remember to keep the lips pale and neutral. Forget about the dark lipsticks.

The hair. 

Changing your hairstyle can change your whole look. Find out a medium length that you like and stick up with it. Long bob will be a great choice. An angled haircut is another good option for you. Keep it longer at the front and shorter at the back. Layers. For me, layered haircut is the best choice for large chin.

Clothes. 

Don’t wear turtle necked clothes. The clothes that will compliment your chin are the ones with the wide open neckline.

Exercises

All advices and tricks that you’ve just read are temporary and good for hiding the double chin, but what you should really do to get rid of this large chin for a long long time, is to do some exercises. Check them out:

Tongue press. 

Sit or stand, it’s your choice. Your back should be straight and your shoulders relaxed. Look at the ceiling and press your tongue to the top of your mouth. Keep that position of the tongue and lower your chin to your chest. Move just your head, don’t bow. When you feel the contract of your neck and chin, release the tongue. Go back to the starting position. Do this exercise two times of 20 reps.

The O. 

The same position of the back and the shoulders – straight and relaxed. Look again at the ceiling and form a small O with your lips. Hold that for 20 seconds. Relax and lower the chin. Complete two sets of 10 reps each.

Kiss the ceiling. 

It’s like The O, but when you look at the ceiling position your lips as you are kissing someone. Extend your lips as far as you can. Hold for five seconds and then relax. Do 15 reps, twice.

I call this one “The Miley Cyrus”. It’s about sticking your tongue out. Open your mouth as wide as you can and stick your tongue out. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Relax and start from the beginning. Do this 10 times, while you are listening to “Wrecking Ball”.

It’s not only about the chin exercises. The double chin is fat. If you want to get rid of it you should lose weight in general, so think about your diet and fitness. Add the chin exercises to a regular workout routine.

10 Makeup Tricks Nobody Told You About!!!!!

Knowledge is power. Especially when it comes to makeup. Sometimes you don’t need fancy tools and products to look flawless. Here are 10 makeup tricks nobody probably told you about to instantly make your makeup routine easier.

Makeup Trick #1: Disguise Under Eye Bags

Most of us tend to just sweep a layer of concealer to the entire under eye area, but to really conceal bags, it’s best to highlight the crease and then apply a darker shade to the actual puffy area.

 

Makeup Trick #2: Use Eye Highlights Wisely

Many women use a highlighter on eyes but apply it last. Apply your lightest colors first, and then move on to your darker shades to make the most out of light and shade play that will accentuate your eyes perfectly.

Makeup Trick #3: Make the Most out of Your Mascara

This one you may have heard or seen online before. Mascara tends to dry out fast because of frequent use. Good mascara can be an investment, so make the most out of it by adding a drop or two of Visine or any other eye drops and rub the wand around inside. All of a sudden your tube is like new!

Makeup Trick #4: Make Your Eyes Instantly Bigger

It’s logical to use white to visually enlarge a portion of your face and dark makeup colors to visually narrow something (simple basics of  contouring). When it comes to your eyes, simply line your water line with a white pencil instead of commonly used black eye liner for instantly bigger eyes.

Makeup Trick #5: What Is Tightlining?

It’s a way of applying your liner right in between your lashes. This is a great way to appear as though you’re not wearing any makeup at all, yet adding a little bit of color and definition to your eyes. Use tightlining for effortless, natural day time looks.

Makeup Trick #6: Lash Curling Secrets

Get the most out of your lash curler by pinching at the very base of your lashes, and then lifting the curler up into an inverted position. This creates double the curl and lasts much longer!
Bonus tip: you can also heat your lash curler with a blow dryer for 3-5 seconds to get an effect of a curling iron.

Makeup Trick #7: Get an Instant Eye Lift

All you need is a little bit of matte light pink pencil. Sweep it across the entire length of your brow bone to create the illusion of a higher arch, and then blend, blend, blend until it’s undetectable.

Makeup Trick #8: Prevent Your Eyeliner from Running

Such an easy trick and so effective! Sweep a little of lose powder (I prefer translucent powders) right under your eyeliner to create an invisible barrier that will hold the liner in place.

Makeup Trick #9: Create 3-D Lips

You may know how to create a 3-D lip effect using a bit of highlighter in the middle of your bottom lip. Now try using a frosted blush or eye shadow instead. It looks stunning!

Makeup Trick #10: Remove Blemishes Seamlessly

When blemishes and spots appear, there is nothing better than a concealer to cover them up. But applying it to the spot precisely, without a cakey looking result, may be tricky. Try covering blemishes using concealer on a thin eyeliner brush. Don’t just rub it on, apply it precisely to the spot and then blend out edges with a finger.
