MISTAKES OFTEN MADE IN THE NAME OF BEAUTY...PART 1

Women are willing to suffer discomfort in the name of beauty, but mistakes are often made which can lead to lasting effects.

Mistake 1: Never go to bed with your makeup.

• Always take down your makeup but do not over do the cleansing procedure. Squeaky clean skin will result in suffering from disturbed pH balance and hydro-lipid layer, which roughly translated, is an open invitation for bacteria and a working order for all sebaceous glands. Going to bed with make up causes skin irritation. (Pimples).

Mistake 2: The rosy-cheeks doll.

•  The purpose of blush is to enliven the face and to underline certain features. Some ladies use it  wrongly. The color of blush should be taken into consideration. The effect of pink, peach or bronze-hued blush is more natural and elegant. The darker tones of blush have no enlivening effect, but can even make the skin look older.

Mistake 3: Rock-heavy eye lashes.

• If you have applied 2-3 layers of mascara and it doesn't seem to be enough, that means that your mascara is not of good quality or it has expired. The right way to apply mascara is to follow their curve,  evenly spreading the product along their whole length, and not rub it on the lashes.  If you apply too much of it on the lower lashes, it will begin to crumble, if you do not apply it to the lower lashes you will look pale. Lengthening mascara, also has a trick to it - wait for the first layer to dry  completely before applying a second layer.

Mistake 4:  Neglecting the brushes and applicator.

• Applying foundation with your finger is not always right, though convenient. Some makeup like blush and eye shadows are better applied with the appropriate tools. One of the advantages of applicators is that, they use less makeup. They are specially designed to follow the curves of your eyes or face.

TWO SIDES TO BEAUTIFICATION...

Ladies do anything to keep their youthfulness. This is what makes the cosmetic industry, plastic surgery and many sections of science thrive. In order to preserve the youthfulness of your skin, you have to care for it, protect it and treat it.

However, women go overboard with caring for their skin and achieve the opposite effects. To prevent the ill effects of overly aggressive skin care, avoid the mistakes listed below.

TOO MUCH SCRUBBING.
 Aggressive exfoliation can make the skin significantly drier and give it an unhealthy tan. Scrubbing is something you should definitely not overdo.

ROUGH CLEANSING PRODUCTS.
The feeling of having a thorough cleansed skin is great, but the frequent use of strong cleansing products removes valuable natural fats, which dries the skin and makes it more susceptible to wrinkling.

MOISTURISER .
Some ladies' skin can be oily in rainy season, and dry in dry season. In such cases, the use of a heavy nourishing and hydrating lotion may be recommended during cold months, and not necessary in the warm months. Always listen to your skin and pay attention to its reaction to cosmetic products.
Organic products are the best choices if you need cleansers or moisturisers.

Questions and comments are greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you.

Have a great week.

• SCRUBBING: Perform this procedure twice a week, it helps in preventing the in growth of the hair and refresh faded, tired skin by removing the layer of dead cells. Use an exfoliating gel, rub it gently unto your whole face and rinse.

REFRESHING A TIRED FACE WITH MAKEUP...

When a person is tired and exhausted, it is sure to show on their faces. Makeup is a great ally in covering up fatigue as long as you know how to use it. It is not the quantity of make up that will help you cover up the signs of sleepless nights, but the wise combination of colors.

For red eyes

Bloodshot eyes are signs that you are in dire need of sleep. However if you still have a few hours of the work day to go, you will have to resort to makeup.

Skin with warm undertone: (Yellow or peachy complexion).

• You can neutralize the effect of red eyes with a golden shadow and eye liner and or mascara.
• Apply blush in sparkling champagne color around the eyes and on the cheekbones. This will open the eyes.
• Mocha colored shades will refresh the look of your eyes.
• Black mascara will create contrast and the redness of your eyeballs will be neutralized.
• Trace the lips with a pencil lip liner in chocolate color and fill in with yellowish brown lipstick. Cover with light pink gloss.

Skin with cool undertone: (very dark brown complexion).

• Use eye shadows and eye liner with blue undertones.
• Apply eye shadow to the eyelid just below the eyebrow.
• Accentuate on the base of the lid with dark blue or gray in order to open up the eye.
• Outline your lips with plum colored pencil lip liner and fill in with lipstick the color of wild berries. Cover with clear lip gloss.
• Avoid applying makeup in pink, violet or red tones.

For dark circles

In order to mask over dark circles you don’t need to use double amount of concealer, foundation and eye makeup. This will not help you hide fatigue. It will only make you look even worse,

Instead apply strong moisturising lotion to the area around the eyes and follow with a thin layer of concealer (with yellow or green undertones) and foundation.

To reduce the visibilities of dark circles:

• Pay attention to shadows.
• Forget about applying mascara to the lower lashes.
• Do not use the same tone of eyeliner for outlining the whole lid. Apply eyeliner to the upper lid and the outer corner of the lower lid.
• Avoid using shadows in peach, purple and dark tones.

Skin with warm undertones

• Use golden tones on your upper eyelid just below the eyebrow
• Apply sandy tones to your lid beneath the fold.
• Outline the eye with warm brown or dark green eyeliner.
• Apply brown or black mascara only to the upper lashes, because applying it to the lower lashes will only make the dark circles more visible.
• Add a second layer of mascara only to the outer corner of your lashes in order to make the eyes look more open.
• Highlight your lips with a light brown eyeliner and a beige gloss.

Skin with cool undertones

• Apply cinnamon colored eye shadow below the eyebrows.
• After that apply sandy nuances over the movable part of the lid.
• Trace the eyes with eyeliner in black.
• Use brown mascara for a softening effect.
• Outline the lips with pencil lip liner in a neutral color and fill them in with a light-brown lipstick and gloss.

Enjoy your week…
