BEAUTY PROBLEMS AND HOW TO SOLVE THEM



1. EYESHADOW FALLOUT

Ever noticed how after putting eyeshadow on you’ll sometimes end up with fallen pigments on your cheeks? When looking at beauty problems and how to solve them, it’s all about prevention. In this instance, try holding a folded piece of tissue underneath your eye when applying to catch any fallout.

2. CAKEY EYE CONCEALER

This problem has more to do with the product you’re using. Ditch the heavy cream concealer and opt for a liquid formula instead. If you’re using concealer under the eyes, choose one with a peachy base to balance out any blueish tones in the skin. I lash

3. CLUMPY MASCARA

The quest for perfect lashes is never ending! When it comes to beauty problems and how to solve them, clumpy mascara is a big one. The product you use plays a big part, but nothing’s perfect so when you do end up with clumpy lashes, gently separate them with a fine eyelash/brow comb or with a clean, dry mascara brush.

4. GUNKY GLOSS

As much as I love a good lip gloss, I hate when it gets all gunky and leaves a white film around the edges of my lips. It’s usually caused by dry and flaky lips in the first place, so exfoliate beforehand to make sure lips are smooth.

5. LIPSTICK ON YOUR TEETH

When it comes to beauty problems and how to solve them, this is one of the most embarrassing yet easiest to prevent. Lipstick usually ends up on your teeth because lipstick has gotten on the inside of your lips

6. MASCARA SMEARS

I can’t count the number of times when I’ve applied mascara only to blink suddenly and have it transferred either to my eyelids or under eye area. Instead of removing all your makeup and starting from scratch, wait for the mascara to dry and dab the areas with a cotton bud to remove the dots of mascara.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PERMANENT MAKEUP



1. IT’S NOT 100% PERMANENT

Unlike tattoos that stay with you until your last breath, permanent makeup tends to show signs of fading after a couple of years. This is due to the fact that colors aren’t injected as deeply as it is the case with a classic tattoo and means you are allowed to have a change of heart. That’s good news, of course! Bad news is that your fading permanent makeup might prove to be worst-looking that no makeup at all which is why beauticians usually recommend subtle, natural shades that will complement and enhance your looks yet can be played up for special occasions.

2. IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ALLERGIC REACTIONS

Speaking about very important things to know about permanent makeup, here’s what you really must keep in mind – no color is ever considered 100% safe and there are no such things as FDA approved colors. Even vegetable, completely natural ones might cause serious allergic reactions, swelling and blistering in case a person tends to suffer from allergies. 

3. PERMANENT MAKEUP CAN MESS UP YOUR MRI RESULTS

Yeah, funny but true! Iron particles in the pigment will react with magnetic impulses of an MRI machine causing mild discomfort and even redness that may last a couple of days! And if that wasn’t enough, seems that it is necessary to let your radiologist know you’ve had permanent makeup done so he could adjust the machine, take it into account or whatever so your MRI scan wouldn’t be compromised. i lash 

4. ALL EQUIPMENT MUST BE 100% STERILE

Okay, before you go “Duh!” let me explain why I believe this deserves to be on my list of things to know about permanent makeup. You see, although brows and lips don’t seem like critical areas, you must never forget this is way more serious than an old case of herpes waking up from deep sleep (which isn’t to be dismissed either!). Scary stuff like Hepatitis C and AIDS can be spread around too and you’ll be surprised to know that many women have been infected while getting their makeup done. There’s way more to it than slapping a brand new needle on and a pro certainly knows that! My point? Don’t tolerate anything but clean, sterile instruments and workspace and take your business elsewhere in case you notice something not quite up to standards lashes


FALL LIPSTICK COLORS TO TRY


1.     TANGERINE , Tangerine is one of those fall lipstick colors that a lot of people can’t pull off – but have you really given it a chance? When I first tired tangerine lipstick last fall, I knew that it wasn’t for me

2. PETAL PINK

If you are looking for a fall lipstick color that is a little more subtle, give a try to petal pink! Pink lipstick is absolutely one of the best lipsticks to go to a fall wedding to or even to just go out for a night on the town.

3. APRICOT

Another awesome fall lipstick color that I absolutely love is apricot. It’s got hints of orange to it but also hints of pink. It’s vivid and bright, without being super out there

4. CHERRY RED

Of course, no fall lipstick color list would be complete without bright and brilliant cherry red! Red lipstick is bold, it’s beautiful and it’s awesome for the fall months, when things are changing and things are super bright!

5. VIOLET

While you might not think that violet would be a very fallish color, it is! It’s so bright, so purple and can be used for either a night out with the girls or even for a date night! One of my favorite uses for violet lipstick is when I slip into my little black dress. i lash 

6. PEACHY PINK


While apricot might seem like a pink/orangeish color, peachy pink is actually brighter, it’s more lively and it’s actually more vivid and stands out a little more. lash

6 MARVELOUS MAKEUP TIPS FOR ALL EYE SHAPES


1. CLOSE SET EYES

If you have close set eyes, typically the goal is to make your eyes appear a lot wider and you want to draw attention away from the fact that there is very little space between your eyes. Because you are drawing attention away from the fact that there is not a lot of space, you want to use some light makeup around the inner corners of your eyes and darker colors around the outer corners of your eyes.

2. ALMOND EYES

Almond eyes are some of the most beautiful eye shapes in the whole world! This eye shape is actually perfectly proportioned and one makeup tip for all eye shapes, especially the almond shape is that you can follow all of these tips!

3. DOWN TURNED EYES

So if you girls have some down-turned eyes, don’t worry or look sad! This is one of my favorite eye shapes in the world! So, how do you make your eye look a little more balanced and level? Well, to start, you’re going to want to apply just a small bit of lighter colored eyeshadow along the oval of your eyelid all the way to the corner of your inner eye.

4. DEEP SET EYES

Did you know that Marilyn Monroe had deep set eyes? These are some of the  eyes in the world, but you want to make sure that they look awake, not closed off or tired. How do you do that? Well, lighter makeup along the lid all the way to the inner corner of your eyes – then add some darker shades toward your eyebrow. A contouring shade should follow the natural curve of your  i lashes.

5. HOODED EYES

So for hooded eyes, these are actually when the brow slightly hangs over the eyelids. This makeup tip for all eye shapes all boils down to making sure that your eyes look open and not so hooded. To make your eyes appear more open, swipe a bit of light eyeshadow across your lower lash line all the way to the inner corner of your eyes.

6. PROTRUDING EYES

With protruding eyes, you want to make sure that they appear a little less ‘buggish’ and have them sit slightly further back. It’s not hard to do ladies! All you do is start with a darker eyeshadow, apply it to your lid right beside the lash line. Use the same darker shade and apply it at the base of your eyelid.

7 Tips on How to Make Eyelashes Grow




1. Brush  I lashes

It sounds weird right? There are actually small little combs that you can use to brush your eyelashes out before you put on that mascara, but did you know that by brushing your eyelashes, you can actually make them grow a little longer?

2. Use Vaseline

Instead of spending your money on something that could darken your eyes, why not try something easy and quick? Just a little swipe of Vaseline on your eyelid before you go to bed will increase your lashes and will make them longer!

3. Try Lash Accelerator

Did you know that there are actually lash accelerator mascaras out there? Rimmel London has a great one and it really works! While you might spend a little more on mascara, in the end, you’ll save because your lashes will grow longer and thicker.

4. Olive Oil

I actually swear by this tip on how to make your eyelashes grow. It really works! Just adding a bit of olive oil to your lids at night will truly help your eyelashes soak up all of the vitamins and minerals in olive oil!

5. Massage Eyelids

Eyelashes can fall out, they can even break and be brittle if we do happen to mistreat them. This means that rubbing your eyelids and actually stimulating the hair follicles can actually truly help make your eyelashes grow stronger and longer in no time at all!

6. Lengthening mascara

Finally ladies, if you truly can’t get your eyelashes to grow, there is always lengthening mascara that you can try.

7. Vitamin E

Before you give up and go with just a lengthening mascara though, why not try some straight Vitamin E? Vitamin E lotion is a great way to really increase your eyelashes and really, the vitamin that will push your eyelashes to the max of growth.
