Makeup secrets to correct the most common problems

1. A secret to liven up dull, lifeless skin.

2. A trick for correcting acne, eye rings and skin blemishes.

3. An easy guide to knowing what skin-type you have

4. Tricks for making yourself up in 10 minutes
1. A secret to liven up dull, lifeless skin.
Though it may seem complicated; with a few quick steps your skin can change in a matter of seconds.

 Three basic steps

1. Cleansing

Cleanse your face with your usual make-up remover and finish cleansing by rinsing your whole face in cold water

2. Exfoliation

Apply an exfoliating face pack over the whole face, not forgetting the neck, and avoiding the eye and lip areas (Follow the product-specific instructions), later remove the face pack with water and pat the face dry, without rubbing.

3. Moisturising

First apply a moisturising tonic if your skin is dry or normal, and a descaling cleansing tonic if your skin is combination or greasy. Apply it over totally dry skin with a cotton pad in small touches without spreading it, so as not to irritate the skin.

Apply eye contour treatment if you need it, or if you normally use it.

Apply a moisturising serum for your skin-type (this is normally sold in ampoules at the chemist's. Most make-up brands also produce different serums according to skin type)

Finally, apply the moisturising cream over the whole face, once the serum has been properly absorbed.

 THE KEY STEP:
1. The most important step here is the exfoliation, as skin normally appears dull and lifeless when there are dead skin cells that need removing. You should do the cleansing and moisturising steps daily (except for the serum which would be for specific occasions, according to the indications on the product used).

2. A trick for correcting acne, eye rings and skin blemishes.

The corrector/concealer is the star product here, but if you don't have one, we are adding a trick to be able to use foundation instead of corrector.

 Eye rings

Apply foundation the way you normally would (foundation should be liquid or in a cream texture) once you are done, apply the foundation with a synthetic-hair brush, once again on the eye ring region. When you finish, using a large powder puff, apply a little loose powder that is lighter than your makeup base. Apply the powder in small touches and in tiny quantities, so as not to produce folds in such a delicate area.

 For acne or facial blemishes
Just as in the last step, but in the area you need to correct, here the powder you apply should be the same tone as the foundation, or totally transparent.

With this step what you have done is concentrate the foundation over the area to be corrected. Of course, the ideal thing is to use a specific corrector for eye rings, and another specific one for acne (there are brands that do acne correctors which treat as well as correct) in this case you can follow the same steps, and use corrector instead of the foundation, and you'll see how much better the result is than when you use corrector alone.

 3. An easy guide to knowing what skin-type you have

These are the most common skin types; pay attention to the characteristics of each, and identify your skin type. The best thing is always to consult a dermatologist or aesthetician.

 DRY SKIN

The skin feels dry and tight.

Wrinkles appear easily, and it has no grease unless you moisturise.

Dry skin normally has a soft aspect, with small pores. It's uncommon for it to have blackheads or zits.

Dryness may increase or decrease depending on the environment, the weather, computers, air conditioning.

One way of determining the skin's dryness is to take it between thumb and fingers, pushing it up and then letting it go. If it snaps back to place immediately, then it's sufficiently moisturised, if there is a little delay, then it needs moisturising.

To keep this skin soft and smooth, you need highly moisturising products, products with nutrients, moisturising face packs and eye contour treatment for day and night. Soaps should be avoided as they tend to dry up the skin. The same goes for products that contain alcohol.

 NORMAL SKIN

Normal skin is neither greasy nor dry, and tends not to have zits.

The skin is perfect and appears fresh and smooth. This perfect-looking skin has small pores, and can be a little greasier in the T zone. This skin-type is not very common among adults, but can be found among almost all children.

People with this skin-type should use products specially for normal-to-sensitive skin in order to maintain this type of skin. They should avoid products that contain alcohol.

 COMBINATION SKIN

Combination skin has a greasy area: the T zone, and is normal over the cheeks and neck. One needs to choose products very carefully. Moisturising a lot, and avoid drying the skin, putting a particular emphasis on cleanliness.

 GREASY SKIN

Greasy skin tends to appear dull, and have blackheads. This skin is constantly producing grease. Greasy skin keeps young for longer. This skin type should be treated with specific, oil-free products but that should be sufficiently moisturising. Besides this, cleansing should be done with cleansing face packs, together with other products for greasy-skin care. The quality of this type of skin will vary from one day to the next, depending on external factors such as tobacco, stress, weather, food, etc.

 SENSITIVE SKIN

Irritated blood vessels below the skin are typical in sensitive skin. Skin often feels dry and gets irritated very easily. Perfumed products and soaps can irritate this type of skin. Even products specially designed for sensitive skin can cause inflammation. The only way to find the right kind of product for it is to try them out beforehand. Products should be tried out on the inside of the arm, as any potential reaction will not be as strong here as on the face. Sensitive skin is most common among blonde or red-haired people.

Recommended products for this skin-type are gentle and very moisturising ones. Avoid very perfumed products or those that contain alcohol. Sensitive skin should not be overly exposed to the sun or to very warm temperatures.

 4. Tricks for making yourself up in 10 minutes

These are the steps to follow once the skin is totally clean and moist:

  • Apply corrector in the areas that need it


  • Put the foundation on


  • Put the rouge on


  • Put on eye pencil


  • Put on mascara


  • Put on lip pencil


  • Put on lip gloss or balm


  • And that's it. You'll be completely made up and with a natural and pleasant aspect.


And yes, this make up should last all day, except of course on your lips, and besides, it should take you no more than 10 minutes to put on.

 Below we describe each step:

-Apply corrector where necessary

This step should take a few seconds, and the difference between doing it and not doing it can be significant.

Those among you with perfect skin can avoid it, and just use it as an illuminator.

I recommend using it before foundation, although there are products on the market which are meant to be used afterwards; it doesn't matter, as the question is to correct these areas.

The key thing here is to use the corrector in the areas where the foundation will not be able to unify the tone: a zit, a very noticeable eye ring. Once you are through you can switch to putting on the foundation.

Put on the foundation

Use a make-up sponge (with or without latex, according to preference and skin type) and moisten it (just lightly) so as to be able to spread it more quickly (naturally, I am referring here to liquid or cream foundation, which are the easiest and quickest to put on).

For the liquid version, apply some on the upper part of your left hand (or the other way round if you are left-handed), and dab the liquid foundation lightly with the dampened sponge, but don't pick it all up.

Start to apply the foundation from the forehead towards the sides, next from the nose towards either side, then the chin towards either side and upwards, and lastly the neck and the ears, if you are short-haired.

Once your whole face is made up, with another part of the sponge, go over the areas where you can see too much make-up, and spread it in small upward strokes.

Put more emphasis on the areas that need correction most, for instance on the outer corner of the eye (this tends to go red) on the nostrils and around the lips.

Applying rouge

This is the easiest bit. Use a tone that flatters you and apply it on the cheekbone and on the mobile eyelid with a rouge brush, blending well so that it ends up looking natural, with a loose powder brush, or using the same rouge brush but with no product on.

That's it. You can go to the next step now.

Applying eye pencil

This step is a perfect trick if you have few eyelashes or want to make them look thicker than they are.

Sharpen the pencil, and for daytime makeup use one in dark brown or grey (for it to look more natural) and apply it in small touches (not in a line) among the lashes on the mobile lid, avoiding the tear duct area, and end up three or four lashes short of where the eye ends.

The idea is that it look like we have more lashes, not like we are wearing mascara.

If it is too noticeable, its because you have put too much product on. Don't worry: just blend it out with a fine brush or a Q-tip.

Applying mascara

This is an indispensable step in make-up. I know that many of you don't like mascara because you've got to remove it later, it runs, etc. The truth is that, yes, obviously you have to remove it in the end, but if you use a good mascara (for daytime it needn't be water-resistant: normal ones come off easily) as well as protecting your eyelashes all day, it'll come off when removed.

A good trick is to always do the lower lashes first, to avoid staining the upper eyelid. Apply the mascara in zigzag fashion, then apply the mascara on the upper lashes, firstly downwards, then upwards. You needn't put on too much mascara, as this is daytime make-up.

You can use a dark brown mascara but as we are using so little colour in the face, I recommend the black, unless you're a very light-blue-eyed blonde.

Applying lipstick

Although this is basic daytime makeup, I recommend not to forget the lips. If you've paid attention, you'll have noticed that at no time did I say that I recommend making the lips up with foundation , since, the way I see it, foundation on the lips does not look very natural.

Use a pencil very close in tone to your lip, tending towards the pink but with brown pigments, outline the lips and put some inside the lips also. This way it'll last you a lot longer and you won't need to use lipstick unless you so desire.

Apply gloss or balm

The pencil will normally tend to dry a bit, and to blend the colour in you'll need a little gloss or balm, which one is up to you; balm is more moisturising and natural, and gloss makes your lips thicker and more juicy.

Final touch

Apply an illuminator (or if you don't have one, a bit of white, semi-pearl powder will do) in the space below the eyebrow , at the top of the cheekbone, and on the chin, so as to light up the face in a very natural manner, making you look spectacular.

Some Headache Sufferers Find Relief in the Dental Chair

A recent study by the U.S. Army Medical Department found that one in eight Americans suffer from headaches. It is common for headache sufferers to find relief from dentist care.

"There are several sources of head pain that are treated by the dentist," explains Beverly Hills Dentist Kourosh Maddahi. "If a person's upper and lower jaw do not correctly meet, this can result in muscle tension that leads to headaches. Another dental-related cause of headache is the grinding or clenching of the teeth at night called bruxism. Because of the strain caused by heavy chewing or grinding, certain bones and muscles in the jaw are greatly stimulated and triggers headache."

It is important, whenever in pain, to increase your calcium and magnesium intake. Together they are a natural relaxant for the muscles. You can use a special fitted nightguard to reduce clenching and grinding. Aside from bruxism, another headache-related dental problem is known as temporomandibular disorder (TMD or also referred to as TMJ) cycle of pain, muscle spasms, and joint imbalance that involves the jaw and the skull and results in interruption of bones, cartilage and muscle activity. Such symptoms may relate to the bite and therefore can successfully be treated by a dentist who has special education in managing these disorders.

Over 10 percent of the general population suffers from recurring headaches that are so severe they cannot carry out normal living! An estimated 80% of all headaches occur from muscle tension. Approximately 40% of all "healthy" individuals suffer from chronic headaches.

Head pain is not new. Early civilizations relied on magical potions and spells to cure headaches. In severe cases, holes were drilled in the skulls of headache sufferers so that the evil spirits which were believed to be the cause of the pain could escape. Over the years we have learned much about what causes headaches and how to treat them. Today, there is a growing realization that a common cause of tension headaches is a bad bite.

"If you suspect that your headaches might be caused by your bite," says Dr. Maddahi, "contact your dentist. Your dentist will examine your teeth, your muscles, and your jaw joints to determine if dental stress is the source of your headaches. If so, treatment will involve correcting your bite so that the muscles can function without extra strain and tension. The important aim of correcting your bite is to insure optimal long-term health. If you have any of the symptoms mentioned, discuss them with your dentist. Your health is your most priceless possession."

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, has been specializing in creating beautiful, natural smiles and superior dental health for 20 years and is located in Beverly Hills at 436 N. Roxbury Drive, Suite 202 and can be reached at 310-888-7797.

A Guy's Take on Makeup



Healthy Teeth Tips

1. Avoid sweets! Too much sugar causes cavities, yellow teeth and other problems. The average person eats far too much sugar anyway.
2. Brush at least 2 times a day, in the Morning and at Night before you go to bed.
3. Don't smoke! If you're a heavy tea or coffee drinker try to cut back.

4. Floss and brush. Use floss because a toothbrush can't always get all of the food particles and floss can get into those places.

5. Use cool or cold water to rinse your mouth out instead of warm, it helps to keep your gums healthy by decreasing bacteria growth.

Tips on Applying Makeup
by: Jacquie Generra


The best makeup job appears to be totally natural, although it takes a great deal of effort to achieve this effect. Be careful how you apply foundation makeup because, while it can give you a perfect appearance, it can cake up. Here is the right way to put on makeup.

1. Of course, the first step is to buy the makeup. Here are your cosmetic basics: Face powder, eye shadow, concealer, mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss. Always go for the best quality products your budget will allow, and remember that many products you find at the drugstore contain harsh chemicals that may irritate your complexion. Be sure to take advantage of the well-trained makeup artists you can find at many makeup counters. They can give you a lot of help. This is a resource many women overlook. Remember makeup brushes. In addition, these also should be the best you can afford to purchase.

2. Put on powder and concealer. Concealer should be applied to any areas that have imperfections, such as under the eyes, the forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Make sure it is well blended so that you do not have clumps of concealer on your face. If you prefer, you can use a foundation. This is intended to make your skin tone even. Put on powder over your concealer. This will make your skin look smoother and blemish free. It will also help control oiliness. Getting a good match to your skin tone gives you the best look and best results, so choose the three products with that in mind. Blend your makeup carefully at your chin line so that no streaks show.

3. As a finishing touch, add some blush. To get a natural looking shade, only use a small amount of blush. This should be put on the round part of the cheek, and smoothed in well.

4. Put on eye makeup. There are several ways to accomplish this. One technique you may want to try is to apply a thin line of eyeliner very near your upper lashes. Then you can smudge the line a little to get a smooth line. The best place to place eyeshadow is over the eye, beneath the crease in a sweeping motion. Apply shadow in a paler shade on top of your eye, reaching to your eyebrows, and then combine these two colors. It is good to match your makeup colors to your own skin tone and keep it fairly neutral. It's risky to attempt using colors that are too bright or too sparkly as not everyone can pull it off. Lastly, apply mascara thinly and make sure there are no clumps. Your look will be a disaster with thick coats of mascara.

5. Lipstick. You should use either a lipliner and lipstick or simply use a lip gloss. When you use lipstick, pick a natural looking color and stay inside the outlines of your lips for a more attractive effect. Selecting the correct shade can make your teeth seem whiter. Find a brand that really stays on your lips, so that you don't have to refresh your lip color all the time.

When it comes to applying makeup, practice makes perfect. When put on correctly, makeup will really help to enhance your natural beauty. If you do it wrong you will look a little overdone. Sometimes you just have to try different things until you have figured out the best way to apply your makeup. The best thing to do is to choose shades that are very close to your own skin tone and then use them sparingly.

Best Foundation Makeup Advice
by: Nisar Ali


Foundation serves as a basis for makeup to be applied on. Nevertheless, a majority of ladies prefer not to apply it for a number of reasons. Most commonly, because they dislike the "plaster" feeling or like better a natural appearance or they are scared it may cause spots.

The art of makeup has become so superior up till now that you are able to obtain an exact foundation that can cater for your specific skin needs, rendering it harmless. The way your skin appears at the time of wearing foundation is completely different from when you do not wear it.

What should you expect foundation to do?

- Provide your whole face with a smooth skin tone.
- It would provide you with a balanced skin and may hide bad blotches or acne, if they exist.
- Your skin shall look glowing and nourishing.

Foundation is obtainable in various intensities and is used in consistency with diverse skin types; a heavy foundation is best for girls who have marks. To opt on which foundation can best suit your skin type is a delicate job for ladies. Be careful, as it may produce you the exact opposite of what you wanted or possibly a hazardous outcome, if your selection is incorrect; therefore, take advice from any knowledgeable expert.

Several varieties of foundations are meant for those who have sensitive or acne skin. These brands consist of salicylic tarts, which never permits any obstacles within pores. The most essential thing is to be careful of slick foundations, which must be avoided in all cases. Oil free products would not allow the formation of breakouts and are also eminent to cover up against acne.

Oily skin types can also benefit from non-oily coverage, irrespective of what intensity of treatment you wish for. They must apply a pressed translucent powder once a liquid foundation is applied. Dehydrated skins must avoid powders in all circumstances, as they desiccate the skin all the more. When you need extra coverage, you may use foundation cream with an oil basis or liquid foundation for yet further coverage. Never use drab finishes in case of dry skin type, because they would make the skin completely dead skin.

Aged females cannot assume of makeup kind of thing by using foundations. Majority of mature ladies make the mistake of believing that they need the maximum level of coverage. But unfortunately, they are wrong. Even though you wish to cover age spots, veins and wrinkles, plastering your face with heavy makeup can only place an highlighting on the aging signs, instead of drawing the signs far from them. Always apply tinted moisturizer in case you wish to look younger and bright faced. If that alternative does not cover the defects you wish to cover up, utilize a watery type of coverage.

Celebrity Makeup Secrets: How To Get Your
Best Look Ever With Celebrity Tips And Products!
by: Sara Liz


Why does celebrity makeup always look so perfect?

Celebrity makeup artists have tons of tips and techniques for applying makeup that most people never heard of! Want to be one of the few in-the-know? We've gathered some great ones for you right here! Here you will learn some great makeup application secrets to get your most flattering eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, concealer, foundation, blush and lips ever!

Celebrity Eyes:

Makeup artists have many tricks up their sleeves to make celebrities' eyes pop! They first put an eye shadow primer or some foundation on the eyelids, so that the eye shadow has something to hold onto. For eye shadow colors, they'll select three shades which are variations on the same color (i.e. light green, medium green, and dark green), or in the same neutral color family (i.e. beige, brown, and dark brown). They will put the lightest color on the brow bone, the medium color on the lid, and the darkest color in the crease. This will emphasize the shape of the eyes and make them stand out!

Other tricks for glammed-up, red carpet eyes include lining the lower inner rim of the eyes with a white pencil to make them appear bigger and applying shimmery clear lip gloss to the top eyelids to make eyes sparkle. Celebrity makeup artists also apply shimmer powder under the brow bone to draw more attention to the eye area and they always smude eyeliner with a Q-tip to make it look less severe or smokier.

To create cat-eyes (like Brigitte Bardot in the sixties or Pamela Anderson today), celebrity makeup artists use dark brown or black eyeliner to exaggerate the end of the eye so it turns up slightly. If you decide to go this route, remember that smudging is the key to perfecting this look!

Celebrity Eyelashes:

Celebrity makeup artists also have many secrets for eyelashes! They always curl eyelashes first to maximize length and curl. They then dust them with powder which makes the eyelashes look much thicker after the mascara is applied! Celebrity makeup artists will often use two coats of mascara, the first will be a lengthening or separating formula, and the second, a thickening formula, to max out eyelash potential! Mascara clumps are combed out between coats.

For special occasions celebrities may use false eyelashes (their secret is dark eyelash glue) or may have eyelash extensions applied which are semi-permanent variations.

Celebrity Eyebrows:

Celebrity makeup artists know that enhancing the shape of the eyebrows is one of the most dramatic ways to improve a celebrity's appearance. Celebrity makeup artists use Treezerman brand tweezers most often to shape eyebrows. They tweeze the hairs under the arch of the eyebrow to further emphasize it and pluck away any strays. Eyebrows are filled in with the feathery strokes of an eyebrow pencil in either "blonde "or "taupe" for blondes, "auburn" for redheads, and light brown or medium brown for brunettes. Only black-haired gals should fill in their eyebrows with a "dark brown" eyebrow pencil" and nobody should use a black eyebrow pencil as it looks too severe. A secret weapon of celebrity makeup artists is brow sealant, which keeps this brow look in shape all day.

Celebrity Concealer:

Amazing Concealer by Amazing Cosmetics is favored by many celebrity makeup artists. Concealer is usually applied with an eye shadow brush. It is applied in thin layers which are "built up" until the blemish is covered. Concealer typically is applied before foundation. For really red blemishes, makeup artists often use a green concealer first which tones the redness down under foundation.

Celebrity Foundation:

Laura Mercier Foundation is very popular with celebrities. Foundation is usually applied by celebrity makeup artists with a sponge for the most natural looking coverage. Celebrity makeup artists use a foundation primer which is worn between your moisturizer and your foundation. This product refines the skin and helps foundation stay in place all day. If you can't spring just yet for celebrity products, try Revlon's Color Stay Foundation with Soft-flex, which stays in place all day and comes in an extensive variety of shades.

Celebrity Powder:

Celebrity makeup artists almost always use loose powder in a translucent or skin matching shade. They will apply it with a puff and then dust it away with a big brush, or will apply it with the big brush, being sure to shake off any excess first. Then the celebrity will carry around a pressed powder or blotting papers in her evening bag for touch ups. Some celebrities skip powder all together for their dry skinned clients. Powder is great for keeping foundation in place for the longest period of time, however.

Celebrity Blush:

Nars and Stila blushes are very popular with celebrity makeup artists. While these are powder blushes, there are other makeup artists who prefer gel blush because of the dewy, healthy glow it imparts. Blush is never applied with anything but a big, fluffy brush. It is applied on the apples of the cheeks in circles, or is swept from the apples to the hair line. Shimmery blushes like Nars blush in Torrid can make the cheeks appear to be glowing, according to celebrity fans.

Celebrity Lips:

MAC lipliner in Spice is the shade thought to most closely resemble natural lip color for most people and is a favorite of celebrity makeup artists. Celebrities often use lip-plumping products like City Lips and LipFusion which have both won awards from Good Housekeeping! Lip gloss is applied at least to the center of the bottom lip to make it look fuller.

Online Christmas Gifts Offer Huge Savings This Season
by VickieLexom

Right around this time of year, things go absolutely crazy. People start shopping like it's their full-time job. Maid services begin cleaning homes non-stop. Store displays—from Lowe's to Macy's light up like casinos with dozens of Christmas trees, hundreds of decorative items, and thousands of Christmas lights. Kitchens go haywire with nonstop cookie making, turkey roasting, pie baking, and meal preparation. Post offices and shipping centers are inundated with cards and packages. Homeowners risk life and limb to string up lights and other accoutrements from chimneys, rooftops, and windows. School is released, and children join the merriment with an excitement all their own.

The chaos is called Christmas. And with all this frenetic activity, one thing holds true—American's spend a lot of money. Even as the media bemoans a recession or depression, the bête noir isn't powerful enough to curb our spend-happy style at Christmas time.

Nobody is opposed to saving money, though. With a bit of creativity, some thought, and a few helpful suggestions, you can give yourself a Christmas gift of a few saved dollars. Here are four ideas to make your Christmas budget stretch even farther.

Make it yourself
The king of all budget-savvy ideas is to give a handmade Christmas gift. A quick Google search will give you dozens of ideas for handmade gifts, complete with list of necessary supplies, step-by-step instructions, and ways to personalize it. By making a gift yourself, you are showing others that you care enough to give them both your time and a meaningful expression of your love.

Try Edible
You can't go wrong with an edible gift. People love to eat, and giving some great food at Christmas time allows people to enjoy it before their New Year's resolutions kick in. To save even more money, buy your cooking supplies at a wholesale discount store. Now you're ready to make a gift for everyone on your list. Some ideas are baking a cake and decorating it, cooking up a batch of delectable truffles, or just making cookies. Arrange the gift attractively, and you have an inexpensive gift that anyone will enjoy.

Buy Online
You thought the mall had a lot of savings at Christmastime? Try online. By going with online shopping, you have access to any store on the planet and many of these stores are offering the same cost-slashing deals, sales, and clearances that you can find in your local mall. You can go even do comparison-shopping to find the best deal, search for discount codes, or even qualify for free shipping with some purchases. Spare yourself the holiday rush, save on gas, and leisurely select your gift purchases in the comfort of your own home.

Be Personal
The best gifts are those that are personal. Giving a gift that has pictures of family or friends is a perfect gift that people can enjoy for years Even though you may not have the time to make a gift for Christmas, you can at least add a personal touch through monogramming or etching. You can buy something that ideally suits their hobbies, interests, or situation. Personal gifts, even if they are smaller, less expensive, or homemade, are so much more appreciated than those last-minute-off-the-shelf gifts.
