Make Up Tips

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Every girl or woman wants to look beautiful and to highlight their important features, especially on their face. Every girl sooner or later starts experimenting with make up. There is no doubt that make up, makes you look beautiful but only if it applied properly. Many women do not know how to apply make up properly. Here are a few make up tips that should help you.

  • Use a gel blush or a cream blush instead of powder in a shade of pink and it will look more natural. Gels or creams are more transparent and blend smoothly. Rub them onto your cheekbones and blend upwards towards your eye for a glowing rosy complexion.
  • To fix unpolished nails, fail nails into square shape, buff them to give some shine and then apply a clear coat of polish. Then rub a little cuticle oil around the edges of your nails and apply rich moisturizer on your hand. In about 15 minutes your hand will have a polished look.
  • The trend now is to have natural looking eyebrows and not thin, arched brows. Use a tinted brow definer or eye shadow to fill your brows if they are scanty.
  • Before you sharpen your eyeliner or lip liner keep it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. The pencil will harden a little and will not break when sharpened.
  • Women whose eyes are deep-set should use liquid liner instead of pencil eyeliner. Liquid liner does not smudge easily and will not smudge in the crease of the lid in deep-set eyes.
  • To prevent mascara flaking off and smudging on your face, apply a thin coat of mascara on your top lashes only. Then brush your lashes with an eyelash brush to prevent clumpy mascara build-up.
  • Before curling your eyelashes, heat the eyelash curler with a hair dryer for a few seconds. Test to make sure that it is not very hot and then apply it on your eyelashes. The heat will ensure that the curl stays in place on extra long eyelashes.
  • Before buying a concealer or foundation, test the color on the inside of your wrist. The skin here is unblemished and will give you an idea on how the color will look on your face.
  • To extend the life of your foundation mix a drop of your moisturizer to create a glowing look for your skin.
  • Apply foundation after you have done your eye make-up. This way you will be able to fix any mascara or eyeliner smudges.
  • To prevent your lips from feeling dry when you apply matte lipstick, apply lip balm on your lips before start your make up. By the time you do your eyes and the rest of the face your lips would have absorbed the balm and will be ready for the matte lipstick.
  • To make lipstick last for longer shade your lips with lip liner before you apply lipstick.
  • If you have applied nail polish in a sloppy fashion, then just soak your nails once they are dry in warm water for a few minutes and them rub off the extra nail polish with a finger.
  • Dark eye shadow can be used as eyeliner as well. Use a very flat brush, wet is and dip it in dark eye shadow. Wriggle the brush into your lash line paying special attention to the space between the lashes and then use the color just above your lash line.

colors, shirts and ties tips for men

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Looking your best will make you feel more confident in a business or social situation. How you present yourself correlates well with how you feel about yourself. If you don’t appear to think much of yourself, don’t expect others to. The women you will want to meet in the professional world know how a man should dress and are more attracted to one who meets those expectations. Disappoint them, and you will disappoint yourself. All these rules, which have been proclaimed by many classical sources, lastly and very wisely by Tide Online, should be concluded with the following final advice: never forget that you must be the man you appear to be, or the clothes will do nothing for you beyond that first impression…

Colors:
Women know how to match colors, and so should you. If this is a problem for you, get help from a woman. None of the fashion tips that follow will mean anything if you wear mismatched colors. Brighter and edgier colors and colour combinations can work for you, even at work if your company is not too conservative. Primary bright colours can be mixed and matched and will stay in style for some time.
Don’t underestimate the versatility of black and white. Mixing black and white garments gives you a stunning variety of coordination choices. You can put more different colours with these two basic ones than with any other colors. You can also go monochrome, but take care that the shades match. If you go monochrome, pick a tie that is in a contrasting color to make your outfit pop.

Shirts and Ties:

There is no such thing as a short-sleeve dress shirt. A white dress shirt with a dark suit is always safe for semi-formal evening wear. But always playing it safe is no fun! Try a black suit with a coloured shirt, such as dark red, for a change. At the office, white or blue dress shirts are business staples. Dark-toned, striped, or check will make a nice change. Opening your shirt collar and loosening your tie does not make you look cool or relaxed. It makes you look drunk.

Normally you should wear a straight-collar shirt with a suit. A button-down collar dress shirt may be worn if it is one of high quality. Button downs also go nicely with a blazer or sports coat. Festive ties with teddy bears or Santa Claus faces are fine for festive occasions, but not for the office.

Adjust the width of your tie’s knot to the width of your shirt collar. The wider the collar, the wider the knot. From narrowest to widest knot, learn how to tie the four-in-hand, half-Windsor, and Windsor knot.
A properly tied necktie will have a dimple under the knot.

Neckties come in two lengths: the standard length of 56 inches and the longer 60 inches. Be sure to buy a standard 56-inch tie unless you are over six feet taller have a protruding belly. The bottom of your tie should just cover your belt buckle.

Own at least two dress shirts of different colours with French cuffs. You can find cufflinks that are colour-coordinated with your outfit, or wear silver, which goes with anything. Cufflinks with precious stones are the most formal.

Poly/cotton blend dress shirts hold their press well but will fade over time. Spend the money and the effort to iron pure cotton shirts. You will look sharper and the shirts will hold that bright colour longer.

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Here are some clothing style tips for men that will provide guidelines regarding the right man fashion clothing for different body type. These man-clothing tips can be a great help in adorning you but you must follow the advice seriously.

Short waist men should avoid wearing trousers / jeans at waist. Low waist jeans are not the right type for you. Tucking your top would not be a very good option. Pullovers are apt for your personality. Short lengthy tank tops are a total no because they tend to highlight your short waist. Contrast concept wont look very good as it would interfere with the vertical flow. So a combo of pink shirt and black trouser should not be chosen. Ask your tailor to keep an inch higher on waist while taking measurement.

Long waist men need to do things the other way round when compared to short waisted guys. Guys your perfect fashion style is low waist jeans with a contrasting shade T-shirt tucked inside. Double breast jacket is just ideal for you so as to prevent people’s eyes from falling particularly on your legs. So boys now are you understanding how to divert people’s attention? Opt for belts with a big buckle.

Men with flat butts should firstly make sure that they wear proper fit pants. Straight leg trousers are just perfect for you because they divert the attention from back and camouflage your body feature. On the contrary there are men with big butts. For them it’s important to wear proper undergarments, which includes biking shorts & boxer briefs as they tightly hold your body. Attire low waist pleated flat front trousers, as they would go well with your personality.

If you have a large belly, your wardrobe should have a combination of light fabric and dark color. Light shades tend to accentuate your big belly. You should make it a point to wear a vest as it prevents loose skin flow from taking place. Long sleeve T-shirt is the right kind for you. Avoid low waist jeans.

Even if you are dressed in ethnic clothing there are many options available with you but again as mentioned earlier all types are not meant for you. Shorter men and fleshy guys should wear knee long kurtas. Tall guys can opt for calf length kurta also.

So guys by now you must have got a clear idea as to what would suit you so follow these tips and disguise your bad body features. We hope that next time you go shopping you’ll be focused as to what you want & not get lured by styling or designing of apparel.

Dragon Tattoos

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Dragon tattoos are unique, aesthetic forms of body art that can be depicted in diverse forms and shapes. These intricately designed tattoos in a plethora of vibrant colors are a popular form of body art. Distinctions are made between the eastern dragon and the western dragon. The former is thought to be the harbinger of fortune and fertility. The latter is thought to be the incarnation of the evil spirit, the destroyer of home and hearth.

Enter the Dragon

Some of the popular dragon tattoos are the tribal dragon tattoo, the Celtic dragon tattoo, the black dragon tattoo, the Japanese dragon tattoo and the Chinese dragon tattoo.

You can choose an appropriate dragon tattoo from a flash tattoo book or ask a tattoo artist to choose one for you. Dragon tattoos are often drawn in combination with other funky designs like crosses, flowers, fairies and other natural objects.

Dragon tattoos are commonly depicted on the shoulders, chest, upper arms, ankles and the lower back area.

So, go ahead and splurge on that extra glamorous tint by inking a dragon tattoo on your body.

HAIR REMOVAL BY WAXING

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

You can wax your entire body, whether you are a male or a female. However, there are certain areas where you shouldn’t apply wax:

Inside the ears and nose
Eyelashes
On the nipples
The male genital area

There are of course far more women who wax their bodies than men, but the number of males who go in for waxing is on the increase especially those with excessive body hair.

You can wax your entire face, including forehead, but unless absolutely essential, this is not recommended. When getting your sideburns waxed, specify that you want a very small area waxed, and ensure that the beautician sticks to the area close to the ear. You could wax your chin, upper lip and eyebrows as well. However, it is preferable to thread the eyebrows and upper lip.

The term ‘Brazillian waxing‘ is used to denote removal of hair from the entire female genital area. As wax is made from purely natural products like sugar, water and lemon, it can be safely applied to the genitalia. Brazillian waxing can be very painful, but many women feel that the results are well worth it. A less painful alternative is a bikini wax, in which the area visible outside the bikini line is waxed.

Makeup Tips

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

The best way to know which make up will bring out the best in you and which will not, can only be determined through trial and error method. So, do not hesitate to experiment with cosmetics and colors until you find the right one for yourself.

Knowing the product range that suits your skin type is very essential. Do not compromise on cosmetics, you will be applying these directly on your skin and your skin is delicate.

You can experiment with different shades of eye shadows and blushers, and plan makeup in a way that would complement your hair color.

Getting the right makeup tools is also an important part of makeup. So you must always ensure that you have make-up sponge, powder brush, blusher brush, eye shadow brush, eyebrow tweezers, lip brush and eyelash curlers in your cosmetics bag.

For your eye make up, choosing eyeliners that would suit your eye color would be the best idea. You can use kohl or kajal to enhance the shape of you eyes. Application of false eyelashes and eye shadow will enhance the effect.

Never wear make up for long stretches of time. Remember your skin needs to breathe. If you have to use make up very frequently, have a rigid cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine in place. This will help to keep your skin firm, and radiant.

While applying any kind of foundation or base make up, use a cosmetic sponge, slightly dampened, to blend it well onto the skin. Always give all angles of your face a final check in the mirror to ensure that no unnatural lines are showing.

If you are using more than one shade of base make up to highlight the different areas of your face, make sure that the shades are merged well. The two shades should not stand out.

Always keep stick, liquid or cream concealers handy. These are great ways of hiding blemishes, scars and dark spots on your face. Apply on the area concerned (under eye regions too) after application of foundation. Finish it off with a dash of powder to give the well blended look.

Choosing lip-gloss and lipsticks is another integral part of ensuring you have the correct makeup. Opt for ones which have moisturizers in them to keep your lips nourished. One of the popular lip make up application techniques is to dust your lips with a light powder. Outline your lips with lip liner and use lip brush to fill in with lipstick. Blot over tissue paper to make your lipstick last longer and also to get a matte finish. Choose colors that complement both your hair and skin color. For more hair tips surf the beautytipshub.
