5 QUICK TIPS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR MAKEUP FOREVER!!!





1)Never put concealer or foundation on your eyelids as a base, it will cause your eye makeup to crease.
  
2)Use your fingers to apply your foundation if you want sheer coverage and a brush if you more polished, medium to full coverage.

 3)Always apply powder where you are shiniest first, which it usually your T-zone, with a very light dusting everywhere else.

 4)You should put bronzer on your neck, face, and chest to even out your skin tone. Be sure to take a step back and make sure everything is the same color.


 5) When applying blush, first smile, then start on the apple of the cheek, blend the blush back towards the top of the ear, then down toward the jawline.

ERASE SIGNS OF AGING FAST!


Follow these simple steps to erase signs of aging and boost your overall skin health. From what you eat to when you wash your face, small changes can make a big difference

1. Suds up at night
Clear away the day's debris

"The most important time to wash your face is before going to bed. Dirt, bacteria, and makeup left on overnight can irritate skin, clog pores, and trigger breakouts. Remove this top layer of grime with a gentle face wash (skin should feel pleasantly tight for 10 to 15 minutes post-cleansing), which also allows anti-aging skin care to penetrate deeper for better results. Because oil production dips with hormonal changes in your 40s, cleansing twice daily can dry out your complexion and make wrinkles look more pronounced. To refresh skin in the morning, splash with lukewarm water

2. Beware of the SUN
Skin damage can happen at any time of year

Nothing is more important than wearing sunscreen (ideally, SPF 30) every day if you want younger-looking skin. Even 10 minutes of daily exposure to UVA "aging" rays can cause changes that lead to wrinkles and sunspots in as few as 12 weeks. If your moisturizer isn't formulated with a built-in broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen, be sure to apply one daily to block both UVA and UVB rays

3. Manage stress
They're called frown lines for a reason!

Emotional upheavals can make your skin look 5 years older than your chronological age. Constant anxiety increases the stress hormone cortisol, which causes inflammation that breaks down collagen. It also triggers a chain of responses that can lead to pimples and acne flare-ups.

To quell inflammation, eat antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, oranges, and asparagus. When you're feeling tense, Wechsler recommends a few minutes of deep breathing (inhale through your nose, hold for 3 counts, and release through your mouth).

4. Exercise regularly
Here's a little extra motivation to burn calories

Studies find that women who work out regularly have firmer skin than similar non-exercisers. The reason: Exercise infuses skin with oxygen and nutrients needed for collagen production. To keep your skin toned, make time for at least three 30-minute heart-pumping workouts per week.

HOW TO LOOK YOUNGER THAN YOU REALLY ARE!



WEAR ANTIOXIDANT-INFUSED SUNSCREENS

You know SPF 30 is a must. But a formula that contains antioxidants will also reduce oxidative damage and does not need to be reapplied as often. 


 REMOVE MAKEUP BEFORE BED

Duh, right? But this is about more than just avoiding clogged pores. It's extremely important to rid your skin of the environmental pollution you've been exposed to throughout the day and wash away free radicals to avoid the breakdown of collagen and elastic tissue.


BEEF UP YOUR BROWS
Thick brows are a sign of youth, so filling them in correctly is crucial. Draw in hairs with a ticking motion from bottom to top using a neutral shade 


REFRIGERATE SKIN-CARE PRODUCTS AFTER OPENING THEM

"You'll get more of a lifting effect from your products if they're cold," says New York cosmetic dermatologist Patricia Wexler. A room-temperature depuffing cream can take up to two hours to work versus only 10 minutes when it's been in the fridge. Plus, this technique keeps products fresher longer.



REVERSE BROWN SPOTS

Lemon juice diluted with water helps fade sun spots on all skin tones, says New York dermatologist Jessica Krant. Since acids can be irritating, apply it before bed with a Q-tip, and gradually increase to twice daily. Stop if your skin gets too light.

AMAZING TIPS TO LOOKING YOUNGER (A MUST READ) !!!



Hi guys, we can tell your weekend was fab, and hopefully you got some rest out of it. 
We found some research on looking younger. Have fun reading.


CHOOSE LIGHTER LIPSTICK

Dark shades can be unflattering on mature skin because lips get thinner with age, choose rosy reds or flesh-colored shades, and stay away from peaches and oranges, which can make teeth appear yellow. And remember, swiping on lipstick without other makeup can make you look older than if you wear no makeup at all.

2. BRUSH BLUSH ABOVE YOUR APPLES

For an instant cheek lift, place your blush brush at the highest point of your cheekbone and apply color in a circular motion. Go for warm pinks, apricots, or bronzes since they create less contrast and make you look younger.

3. LIFT YOUR EYES WITH PENCIL

Use an eye pencil. Its softness enlarges the eyes more than liquid liners do. To reverse droopy-looking lids, blend liner up at the outer corners with a Q-tip. We like BMPRO’S defining Pencil Eyeliner


 4. SUPERSIZE YOUR SUNGLASSES

By now you know how damaging the sun can be, so besides coating on sunscreen, shield yourself with chic accessories. Swap your thinly rimmed aviators for oversize frames and you'll get more protection around your eyes, which wrinkle first, says Boston dermatologist Ranella Hirsch. And don't forget a hat: "Buying a five-dollar fedora now will save you $10,000 with me later," adds Hirsch. Throwing on a scarf can also help prevent sun spots in the décolleté area.

6. STOCK UP ON OLIVE OIL


Extra-virgin olive oil contains fatty acids similar to those found in our skin and is an incredibly gentle moisturizer. If you have skin that's dry and sensitive from overloading on harsh face and eye antiagers, bring your skin-care regimen to a halt, says Jessica Wu, an L.A.-based cosmetic dermatologist, and slather on a thin layer of unflavored oil at night instead.


Hope you learnt something, more tips coming up this week.

AMAZING NEW TRICKS FOR YOU!!!


When choosing a red lipstick, you just want to remember to get one that looks good with your undertone. If you have a warm undertone, then go for warmer reds, and if you have a cool undertone, then go cooler.

Sunscreens that claim to provide “all-day protection” and “water resistance” are not reliable; don’t be fooled by these claims and reapply all sunscreens at least every 2-3 hours.

Use blotting papers to manage oil and shine in your T-Zone, “which are also great for cleaning up around the eyes”

To make curls last, make sure hair is completely dry before you begin with the curling iron. Also, use a heat protectant spray with hold on damp hair to keep hair protected.

Use an exfoliator to get rid of dead skin, but limit yourself to 2-3 times a week so you don’t dry out your skin. Use a gentler scrub on your face and a coarser scrub on the rest of your body.

7 NEW WAYS TO GET GLOWING SKIN ON THE GO


1) The best time to apply lotion is right after a shower or bath, when skin is still damp. 

2) Beautiful skin starts from within. Include lots of vegetables, fruit and water in your diet. 

3) Overdo it with your perfume? Dab rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball on your skin. The alcohol        will cut the scent without altering it. 

4) If you live in europe or in colder climate, try microwaving your lotion for 5 seconds to soothe dry winter skin. 

5) Stay out of the sun.The higher the sun, the more potent the ultraviolet rays. You’re most likely to get sunburned between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. 

6) Help perfume last longer by dabbing petroleum jelly onto pulse points before spraying on fragrance. (Perfume evaporates faster from dry skin.) And don’t forget to spritz ankles and behind your knees—scent rises. 


7) Exfoliate with a body scrub once a week to slough off dead cells that make skin look dull. When skin is freshly exfoliated, lotion and oil are better absorbed.

QUICK TIPS TO GETTING LOVELY LIPS

Lovely Lips



Get lips soft and smooth by using a damp, warm washcloth at night to rub off the flaky dry bits; follow with a coat of lip balm. 

 Ease the evening switch to a redder or darker lipstick by applying it over and blending it into your daytime color. 

 To make lipstick last longer, allow it to set for a few minutes after applying, blot lips with tissue and dust them with powder, then apply another coat. 

Cheeks feeling flushed? Put on a bold color lipstick; a neutral shade will only make red cheeks stand out. 

For lipliner that glides on, warm it up first by pinching it with your fingertips. 

To keep lipstick from bleeding, pat a little concealer around your lips. 


Smile when you put on your lipstick—it’s the best way to ensure complete coverage, corners included.
