Simple Steps On How To Draw Your Eyebrows

Eyebrows as we all know frame the face and are an important part of how we express emotions. As a result of this , subtle changes to their shape and colour can drastically impact someone`s look. people choose to draw on their eyebrows for a variety of reasons. Some are unhappy with their natural brows because their eyebrows are too difficult to see or don`t have a well-defined shape. Others experience their loss due to health problems and simply want to keep looking as they did before. Whatever your reasons , there are different techniques you can use when drawing your eyebrows.

hhhbhh oooiikk
1. Put translucent powder over your eyebrows area. The powder will help set your eyebrows area. The powder will help set your foundation and concealer. It also helps to ensure your skin is nice and dry. If there is too much moisture when you draw them on you eyebrows , it may start to run.

ffrrtttnnbbn
2.Mix black and brown eye shadows together to closely match your current hair colour . You will be using this mixture to draw on the base of your brow. A combination of black with one or more shade of brown tends to look the most natural . A little bit of black powder in a brown mix will make the light shade look more convincing , while some brown will soften the harshness of pure black.

cccddeeebbbfffgg
3. Create the basic shape with the eye shadow mix. Use a more slanted brush to form the of base your eyebrow. Use brow ridge as a guide for your eyebrows shape . Drawing drastically away from your brow ridge will make your eyebrows look less realistic . Hence , you can experiment with different shapes before deciding which looks right for you.

hhggffhhh
4. Use a pencil to add individual hairs. Use a black-brown eyebrow pencil sharpened to a fine point. Draw small lines from the bottom of your eyebrows outline feathered away from your nose. A few stray hairs that don`t perfectly line up with your brow outline will keep your eyebrows from looking too perfect and more like real eyebrows.

hhhhhbgbgggddff
5. Brush on a thin layer of cosmetics lacquer or sealant over your new eyebrows. The essence is that the sealant will keep your draw on eyebrows smudge free for up to 24 hours.
Finally drawing your eyebrows is an easy way to add definition to brows and face. Eyebrows frame the face , so it`s very important they come out right so you don`t look like you just got a hit by a train.

Best Makeup Tips On How To Contour Your Face

Highlighting and contouring are two crafty tricks one can use to enhance their bone structure. Contour can help enhance the gorgeous features you`ve already got. Even if you are not going for any event, it`s fun to experiment with some of your makeup product. The biggest problem is that even with the endless amount of info out there on the topic, figuring out where to begin is not an easy task. So guess what! that`s what I`m here for. To give you guys a basic tutorial on how to contour the face using foundation, concealer and powder.

hhhhhhffff
1. Use the right shade and texture: Your contouring product should not be more than two colours deeper than your complexion. If your skin is light to keep, go for taupe and grayish brown. Darker skin tones should try warmer cognac colour.

llllmmmmmmmm
2. If you desire a subtle look,try natural looking dimension, go for a liquid matte bronzer. You can work it between your fingers and press it unto the hollows of your cheeks to give it a touch of warmth.

lllcc
3. However if you want a bold look try a cream. Creamy contours like sticks and palettes are more dramatic than powders. Blend in a small amount with your fingers, a brush, or a damp beauty blender sponge. It builds more colour for a stronger result.

bbbbggv
4. For the ones looking for a polished look, try the contouring powders. The contouring powder are sheerer and also ideal for skinny skin. Dust on a translucent powders, then apply the colour. This prevents it from sticking to the natural oil in your skin.

cccrr
5. Avoid contouring everything. You can contour your entire face, but that doesn`t mean you should. Using any contouring product of your choice, try your cheek hollows: start from the middle of your ear and move forward to the corner of your mouth, halting at mid-cheek. Shade additional features based on your goals, whether it`s a less pronounced forehead, a more sculptured jawline or a slimmer nose. It will add some definition.

dd
6. One can also try the invisible contouring mechanism. Here you`re elevating the bony structure without a ton of product. You can begin with a light application, then add colour until you get a subtle carved-out look.

ooopppy
7. Stay away from any contouring product with shimmer. When you think about it, the reason is obvious: you`re trying to add a sense of depth with matte taupes or cool browns that also absorb light. As we know shimmer reflects light , so bronzer with flecks in it will do the opposite of the desired effect.

nnbk
8. Normalize it with blush and a highlighter and pow! you are all set to go and astound the world with your flawless face.

The Honest Beauty Of Eyeliner

The Honest Beauty Of Eyeliner

In this modern world there are no limits to beautify women. Being a fairer sex, they are beautiful and attractive. And this holds for all women. However, when it comes to decorate the eyes women spend more time in grooming the eyelashes. Applying the eyeliner should be an art every woman should master.

ddd
Below are tips on how to apply an eyeliner perfectly :
1. Firstly, you must do your prep work. Apply a matte flesh tone eyeshadow on the base of the lid. It takes away any discoloration and creates a great canvas for whatever eyeliner colour you`re using. It`s also a trick to prevent pencil liner from melting in the heat or fading.

eyer
2. When applying eyeliner always begin with the outer corner of the eye, moving in towards the nose. With pencil liners gradually deposit less and less pigment as you get closer to the inner corner. With liquid liners press the tip into the lash line and apply in small gradual increments rather than one long shake. This helps keep your hand steady and gives you more control on where you place the colour.

uutte
3. You can always use your fingers to soften any hard lines and to give liner a more lived-in-feeling. You can blur the edges with a small pointed soft-bristle brush by pressing it gently into the lashes, and moving it in small circles making sure you keep the colour close to the lash line.

pplllk
4. The best way to seal your liner is to apply an eye-shadow powder on top. This adds hours to your makeup and gives it a bit more pop. I use this technique all the time, especially for great occasions. it`s also a peculiar way to experiment with colours. Example, top your typical black or brown liner with a shimmering green or navy eye shadow to finish the look without going too over the top.

jjjjh
5. The fact still remains that you are going to make little mistakes when applying eyeliner. my good trick is to have a Q-tip with foundation on it nearby. It`s like a little eraser that keeps the rest of your makeup to stay intact and perfect.

Shades of Nudes And Ways Of Applying Them

Hello Queens! Nude has been a huge makeup rave lately, so I decided to put together this post for anyone who may be eager to try a more neutral makeup look but find it difficult choosing the right lipstick colours.

nug
Unfortunately people don`t know how hard it is to find just the shade of nude lipstick that will blend in with their skin tone and make their skin divine. Finding anything in flesh tone, be it leggings, underwear or lipstick is a challenge. First and foremost, nude lipstick is different from lip gloss. I see a lot of people wearing lip gloss and hash-tagging #Nudelips, they are not the same thing.

Here are some things to consider when choosing the right shade of nude lipstick for your skin colour;
1.Exfoliation – Dry and cracked lip and nude lipsticks (or another lipstick as a matter of fact ) is never a good idea. Make sure your lips are moistured and free of any dead skin before applying any kind of lip colour especially if you are using matte lipstick.

ffggt
2.Cover up- Different people have different lip colours. If you have a strong lip colour naturally use a thin layer of your concealer under your lipstick to tone it down. The outer part of the lip are usually darker than the inner parts.To even this out use your concealer primer or foundation , applying either on your lips will create the perfect base for a nude lipstick.

nnb
3.A nude lipstick is the perfect opportunity to play up your eyes.A dark smokey eye will give you that dramatic look and will stand out with just the right nude lipstick. A popping hair colour is also a great accessory to a nude lip.

nnbm
4.Keep a white teeth- Yes, we know that red lipstick can make your teeth look so white. In the same way, a pale lip colour can make your teeth appear yellowish, so make sure to polish those pearly whites or if you really want to shine try a teeth-whitening product which is very effective.

mmkn
Finally, finding the perfect nude lipstick is harder than it sounds. Too dark, and you look like you`re trying to make brown lipstick happen. Too light and you start to resemble the living dead. I believe with the above tips, you can easily detect the perfect nude for your lips.

The more-the-better: This is totally natural for me. I can go without makeup but I can`t say for knuckle rings . my formula is to keep proportions different on both hands and just keep it heavy on the bottom and light on top. For the more the better; add an extra one to your little finger load up your other hand as well just make sure you keep proportions slightly different to not invite the attention of the fashion police.

Knuckle RingsKnuckle Rings
The Minimalist Knuckle Ring; Never let the fact that they stop halfway along your finger confuse you.Treat it just like any other ring you wear just decide which hand you want it to go on .You can go as basic as putting just one ring on your finger , or if you are feeling a higher level of adventure add another to the middle one, pick either your index or ring finger as the starting point then add a sibling to the middle finger.

Knuckle RingsKnuckle Rings
The Middle-Grounder Ring: If one is too casual for you, but you still don`t want to go overboard, a three ring rule is best for you. Just work them on one hand and either do a two-knuckle-regular-ring combo or a two-regular one-knuckle situation for the sake of classification see the pictures below.
