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.

Hacks For Smooth Lipstick

I’m sure that you use the cold weather as an excuse for not wearing lipsticks. It dries your lips, or doesn’t look good on a chapped lips, but the colors are so beautiful and trendy right now, why you waste the opportunity of looking amazing every single day. The trick is to throw away the universal tinted lip balm and stick to the great colors of the lipsticks you own.



Now I will show you several tricks for maintaining perfectly soft lips and you will have no more excuses for not wearing a lipstick. Take a look:
The key is in the exfoliation treatment. Without this step you can’t do anything to solve the problem of the chapped, dry lip skin. You can buy a lip scrub from any beauty store, you have near to your place, but there are also two really simple homemade recipes that I know:
  • Sugar + coconut oil/honey. Mix one tablespoon of sugar and just a pinch of coconut oil or honey, as much as it is needed to make a thick paste out of the sugar.
  • Oatmeal + honey. Again, One tablespoon of oatmeal and enough honey to make a paste.
Rub the paste with a finger or a baby toothbrush to the lips. Then rinse with lukewarm water and moisturize immediately with a lip balm or petroleum jelly.
Exfoliate the lips once a week or once in two weeks, but meanwhile do this trick in order to maintain always soft lips:

Apply lip balm or petroleum jelly to the lips and wait a couple of minutes until it softens the skin. Then use a clean mascara brush and exfoliate the lips with it. You can do this trick before the application of the lipstick in order to remove any chance of a dry cuticle to show up and ruin the whole look of the colored lips, which will make you forget about the application of the colorful lipsticks and you will get back to the boring lip balm.
Enjoy!

Get Rid of Those Nasty Dark Underarms

Are you scared of getting your hands up because of the dark underarms? I know it can be a source of anxiety and embarrassment. But as we try to help you with everything, what’s stopping us for trying to solve this problem as well.



Let us start with the things that cause this problem – hair removal creams, shaving, buildup of dead skin, excessive sweating, fungal and bacterial infections, harsh chemicals in deodorants and so on.
Here are some natural solutions for dark underarms:
Citrus juices
Just rub a slice of lemon gently on the underarms for 10-15 minutes. The lemon is a natural lightener. Other fresh juices that will do the work too are from tomato, cucumber, orange, etc.
Baking soda
Scrub the underarm area with a thick paste of tablespoon of baking soda and a little water. This mixture removes the dead skin.
Coconut oil
Except for the lightening effect it also nourishes and moisturizes your skin. To increase the effectiveness you can add half a teaspoon of lemon juice in a teaspoon of coconut oil.
Apple cider vinegar
Mix it with rice flour in order to make thick paste. Apply it on the problematic area and wash it off with warm water after 10-15 minutes.
Milk
Mix 1 tablespoon each of raw milk, plain yogurt and gram flour. Apply on the skin and let it work for about 15-20 minutes to lighten dark underarms.
It’s great that there are home natural remedies for removing the dark underarms, but we should also think of how to prevent getting those nasty stains:
  • Try to wax rather than shave. Shaving doesn’t remove the hairs from the roots and it gives the impression of dark underarms.
  • Switch your deodorant to alum powder.
