Lipstick do’s and don’t

June 11, 2016 Yasmin

Lipstick is an essential part of almost every woman’s daily makeup routine. However, many women shy away from the red tones they find in the cosmetic aisle. Fortunately, you can pull off those brave shades with a little lipstick know-how. Here are ten dos and don’ts of wearing red lipstick:

1. WEAR DARKER FOUNDATION.

If you’re going to go bold with your lip color, you’ve got to have a complementary backdrop for your face. For those with lighter skin tones, it’s a good idea to choose foundations that will provide darker, olive bases. Red lips can be too much of a contrast against pale skin. The darker your lips are, the darker your foundation should be.

2.DON’T BE AFRAID TO BLEND COLOURS.

Do you like the look of red lipstick, but think it might be too loud for you? There’s an easy solution: customize your shade. Simply take a lighter hue like coral or mauve and blend it with that rose or burgundy you’ve been eyeing. The result will be a more muted tone that nearly anyone will be comfortable wearing.

3. USE IT FOR THE RIGHT OCCASION.

While everyone loves red, luscious lips, the look isn’t appropriate for every social situation. Some of the deeper shades can be a little jarring to people you run into at the gym or the kids’ soccer game. Likewise, you want everyone to be listening to your business proposal at that morning office meeting, not staring at your lips. Only paint your kisser red when you know you’re dealing with a fun, playful atmosphere, such as a night out with the girls. Then, you’ll be one step ahead in painting the town red!

4. DON’T OVER DO IT.

If you want to avoid all the lipstick smudges and stains, you can start by only applying a light coating to your lips. This is especially important for red lipstick since it’s easier to spot on teeth and collars. Rolling once or twice around your lips should be sufficient to achieve the desired effect. For even more control of your coverage, spread the lipstick using a lip brush. Just remember that a little dab will do you.

Thank you! for your time on reading the tips and tricks for today!

Tomorrow we will talk about the lipgloss when and where to wear it!

How to make your lipstick stay for long hours

June 8, 2016 Yasmin

Hi everyone today we will talk about on how to make your lipstick stay for long hours.

Rocking red lips is the fastest way to look glam and festive for the holidays. But with so many yummy treats to snack on and maybe a few smooches under the mistletoe, that red lipstick could end up everywhere but your lips if you’re not careful. To avoid clown mouth, follow these super-easy steps to keep your lipstick where it belongs—on your gorgeous pout!

1. Exfoliate. Scrub your lips with the rest of your face while you’re in the shower in the morning. A gentle exfoliator will smooth over the flakes that come with winter’s chapped lips.

2. Moisturize. With the temperatures dropping faster than you can say “pumpkin spice latté,” moisturizing everything, including your lips is key. Stock up on a long-lasting chapstick to keep your pucker from getting chapped and use it before applying lipstick to help it go on smoothly.

3. Prime & Line. Use an easy-to-apply lip primer to set the stage for the bold color. Once it’s absorbed, outline you lips in a liner that’s the same shade of your natural lip color.

4. Add Your Red. Apply your red lipstick of choice in two swipes. Blot a couple times on a tissue and repeat with another swipe of lipstick, followed by another blot. Do this until you score your desired color strength.

5. Set with Powder. You heard us, powder—on your lips. A light, transulescent powder will help keep the color in place even after you enjoy a huge mug of hot chocolate!

Tips

Always make sure that your lip liner is freshly sharpened so that you’re not transferring any bacteria from it onto your lips.
If you want a special touch, just add lip gloss in the center of your lips to create a bright glossy effect.
Blotting excess moisturizer prevents lipstick from sliding off.
It is a good idea to use a nude lip liner since it goes with most lipsticks and doesn’t create a harsh line.
It might sound a tad radical but throwing your make-up pencil sharpener in the dishwasher or washing by hand can also be very efficacious in removing bacteria. If you have a twist-up pencil it never hurts to break off the tip and wipe with alcohol before using.

Tomorrow we will talk about the proper way to apply lipliner

Hope to see you again tomorrow!

Moisturising the Lips

June 7, 2016 Yasmin

Hi everyone today we will talk about lips, here are the first thing to do is to moisturised your lips:

Exfoliate your lips. Mix together petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline), sugar and honey; Rub your lips with the mixture for 2-3 minutes later. Gently wipe the mixture from your lips with a clean, damp washcloth.

Next, apply a lip balm (such as Blistex or Carmex) to your lips. Don’t use flavored or scented lip balms because that will just make you lick your lips which will cause dryness.

Drink water. Water keeps lips moisturized. Your lips need moisture. Not only is water good for your lips but it is good for most everything in the human body. You should try drinking 8 glasses of water every day depending on your age.

Don’t pick your chapped lips. This will only make them sore, and even more dry. Making your lips dry and sore will slow down the moisture process. Also if you peel the skin off them it hurts and burns when you apply lip balm. Sometimes it even bleeds!

Don’t lick your lips. In fact, don’t even rub your lips together unless there is lip balm on them, don’t bite them, or rub your teeth against them. Not only does this dry out your lips, it even makes them bigger. Trust me that’s not very pretty!

Stay away from sticky foods. Sticky foods will make your lips rub against each other and stick together, damaging and drying out your lips.

Overnight, apply a heavy coat of lip balm to your lips. The next morning your lips will be moisturized and smooth!

There you go guys! The tips to have a smooth and moistured lips.

I hope you got some tricks from the topic today.

Stay tuned tomorrow as we talked about on how to make your lipstick to last for long hours.

Dos and don’ts in your makeup routine

June 4, 2016 Yasmin

How does your makeup routine look like?

I believe all of us we have some different habits about makeup application.

Basically there are no rules in makeup. All you need is a clean makeup, stylish and well blended!

Lets start with the Dos:

1.Make sure you take care of your skin. This is the first DO!

Use a scrub monthly once or twice, face cleaning gel or foam, toner every day and moisturising cream.

2. Start your makeup on a clean and moisturised skin.

3. Always try the foundation on your face near to the jawline area to check the colour.

4.Apply the foundation in thin layers

5.Try to use thin layers if you use cream contours and highlights

6.Use Translucent powder instead of pressed powder

7.Use 3 shades lighter shadow on your brows than your brow colour

8.Use matte eye shadows for daytime look

9.Apply peach-orange tones on your cheeks giving you immediate fresh look

10. Glossy lips look more healthy than matte ones, don’t forget to apply a lipgloss for the nice finishing

Now lets see the DON’TS

1. Don’t over draw your natural lips.

2.Don’t apply blush to your cheeks without blending

3.Don’t forget to wash your makeup off at night

4.Don’t go crazy with drawn-in-eyebrows

5.Don’t be afraid of a little sparkle and glitter.

6.Don’t be extreme with your concealer shade.

7.Don’t wear clumpy mascara

8.Don’t get stuck in a rut with your makeup routine

9.Dont be afraid to experiment with different colours

10.Dont panic if you made mistakes you can always work with mistakes and fix them but if not you will take off the makeup and start again. Makeup is not a plastic surgery you can always start to apply it again and again!

After the tips what and how to do the conclusion is

-Less is always more

-Keep your makeup simple

-The right foundation colour is one of the most important things in makeup

– Blend, blend and blend

-Always keep your makeup clean. No mascara smudges and dark patches under the eyes because of the dark eyeshadows

Practice makes perfect so don’t give up after the first or second fail! The makeup can always be better!
