Make Up Tips To Look Stunning


Formal eye makeup tips will allow you to look glamorous no matter if you are heading out for the biggest night of your life or if you are just hanging out with friends. To look glamorous, you need to know just how to apply makeup correctly, to achieve the desired, finished look.

Green eyes are really fun to work with. They have such a wide color range from turqouise to chartreuse to forest green to bright light green and on and on.These tips are designed for the magority of green eyes, but of course there are exceptions to every rule. My best advice is to try every color that you're interested in. You'll be surprised what looks good.

Makeup tips for blue eyes are pretty straightforward. The trick is to learn which colors look better on blue eyes, and start with those, and then branch out with the colors that you are personally drawn to. Women have a unique ability to choose colors that are complimentary to them. Just because colors are suggested doesn't mean those are the only colors suitable for you to wear.

Smoky eye makeup is essentially a makeup application that darkens the lids and highlights the brow bone. This effortless eye makeup trick will draw instant attention to your eyes and provide an overall sultry, sexy look. People always think of dark, dramatic colors when they hear smokey. Although the look can definitely be dramatic, it is not necessarily dark.
Almond-shaped eyes Use a light shade of powder from your lashes to the brow, a medium shade on your lid, and a darker shade on the outer third of your eyelid.

Eye shadows that you wore when you were in your 30's just may not be right now. Someone had come up with a silly rule that once you hit 40 its time to put away all your favorite vivid greens, purples, pinks eye shadows.

Eye makeup tips should be practiced ahead of time to guarantee you will not look like a makeup experiment as a worse scenario. Curling your lashes to make your eyes open and stick to dark colored mascaras will make you look more natural, but if you want to add a dramatic effect, line your lower lashes.

General makeup tips for brown eyes always include browns, beige and neutral tans. Grays and charcoals look good with this eye color, as do violet and lavender. You can mix it up with a lavendar and a violet. Khaki and olive green are a great color combination. Browns with green highlights or copper highlights are always a fun option. Try copper and even gold. If your eyes have a tinge of green, or like mine are half green, choose green eyeshadows as well.

Round: Round faces need only a little darker foundation applied at the temples and around the lower face. This will make it appear a little more elongated. Balancing Your Features Face shape makeup tips also include your facial features. If you've got a feature you're not too fond of, like your nose or chin, playing with light and dark correctors can help you adjust how they look. We'll give you the makeup artist's tips on how to do this.

Excessive Facial Sweating


Excessive facial sweating occurs when you have a condition called hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating, and is a very common problem encountered by millions of people all over the world. Hyperhidrosis can lead to too much sweating in the head, the hands, underarms and other body parts, but when it affects the face particularly, it is called facial hyperhidrosis.
If you are sweating too much on the face then going outdoors and being in the company of others obviously becomes quite embarrassing. Imagine being dressed impeccably and walking into a room for a corporate presentation, or in a swanky restaurant for a date, but your face is a complete mess!
Facial hyperhidrosis is considered to be the most intrusive, since it is affecting your face, the most visible part of your body. As per the medical world, facial hyperhidrosis is condition that does not come with much risk, and does not lead to any kind of serious ailment. However, this piece of information can hardly console someone who has to live with sweat dripping off his or her face at all times.
If you have a sweaty face, you can bet on it that people will notice it immediately, and in the process you will be become self aware and your confidence levels will take a huge beating. Initially you will keep wiping the sweat off your face at all times, and then slowly you will realize that you have no control over this condition, and then eventually become disconnected from people, and thus put an unavoidable dent in your social life. So what can you do to get rid of this disgusting problem? There is a surgical procedure called sympathectomy that sometimes used on those who suffer from excessive facial sweating.
However, most people are not alright with the idea of having their faces cut open by doctors for treating facial sweating. Since surgery is an option shunned by most people who have this condition, the next best option that is available in a ready to use form is applicatory medication. These medicines that need to be applied directly on the face to control excessive sweating are quite popular.
If you too would like to use one, make sure you first consult your doctor and get the correct dosage and medicine prescribed for you. The effects of medication for facial hyperhidrosis usually differ from person to person, so talk to your doctor if you are looking for a cure for facial sweating.

The Relationship Between the Sun and Anti-Aging


As we all know, aging is an inevitable process. Regardless of how much money or time you invest into anti-aging measures, your face will still show some signs of aging. However, this in no way means that you need to look as old as you actually are. Thanks to the wide array of anti-aging products which are available, you can easily look younger than your true age. Unfortunately, many people spend too much money on these products without understanding the actual causes of aging. In addition to the natural aging that occurs, there is one factor which causes more signs of aging than anything else.
The sun is the number one cause of aging. Whether it is from intentional tanning or innocent yard work, the sun has the ability to wrinkle your facial skin in no time. The wrinkles caused by the sun are the most profound of any wrinkles that can be seen on the face. In order to combat this problem, there are a few steps that are necessary to take. The first step is avoiding sun exposure as much as possible. This does not mean that you should sit inside all day, but when venturing outside, try to find places which are not directly in the line of sun exposure. Also, wearing things such as hats or clothing can provide great coverage. More importantly, sunscreen is a must anytime that you step foot outside. Sunscreen is the single most effective tool when combating the sun. Whether you will be in direct sunlight or just going for a hike in the mountains, you should always put sunscreen on any areas of skin that will be exposed to the sun. By taking steps to prevent sun damage, you can decrease the amount of aging your skin endures exponentially.

Facial Exercises - How Old Do You Look?


I have to admit, facial exercises are not a quick fix. First of all you have to learn the exercises. This takes about 2 weeks of practicing until you can gain control over the muscles of the face. For example, learning to contract only your lower eye lids takes awhile, but once you learn this, it’s effortless. As you engage these newly “revived” muscles, you’re also activating the little lymph nodes that live under the eyes. You therefore not only strengthen and tighten the area under the eyes so that it looks smooth and firmer over time, you’re also flushing away old toxins and those dark circles start to go away.
You see, muscles, skin and connective tissue in the face are complex and intertwined. This allows us to make facial expressions. The body is a little different. Muscles attach bone to bone in the body. The fascia and connective tissue essentially slide “over” the body muscles in comparison to the face. In the face, one end of the muscle is connected to the bones of the face and the other end is connected to another muscle or it connects directly into the skin. Connective tissues as elastic fibers tend to take on the form of the shape of your face as they build. In other words, the skin firms-up around the muscle fiber as it tones and tightens. Wrinkles flatten out and you can literally rub them out. Your neck becomes firm and smooth. Your eyelids lift up. Your cheeks take on a youthful rounded shape. Your complexion improves as more oxygen feeds the cells of your face and neck. In fact, I’ve already done a lot of the research and you can read about it in detail on my website. Just click here: http://www.carolynsfacialfitness.com/ and here: So. Facial exercises have to be learned and they have to be practiced, too. But, for only 15 minutes a workout, 3 times a week, you can take 5, 10, 15 or 20 years off your “real” age. It does require some effort, I admit. But hey! They also help to release tension in the face and you therefore not only look and feel younger; you also look and feel more relaxed and refreshed. How old do you look? You can regain that vital youthful look you thought you’d never see again and it’s just at your fingertips.
Here’s a simple exercise to try once a day five days a week for three weeks. It’s called the “Upper Eyelid Stretch”. Give it 3 weeks and reap the benefits:
• Place the index finger of each hand just under the brows• Push up with your fingers and hold• Try to close the eyes while stretching the lids down towards the bottom of the eyes• Hold this stretch firmly yet gently while counting to 10• Repeat 5 times
