Makeup Ideas for Women over 50

Makeup Ideas for Women over 50

Being over 50 does not mean that you cannot look and feel your very best at any time. As we age our faces change. 

Our eyes become a little droopy and our skin dries out a little bit but these issues can easily be disguised with the right makeup. All you need is some good makeup and the right technique.

Must Haves

As a lady over 50 you have to have the right makeup to really help you look your best. 

There are some items that you absolutely need to get the best look.

- Skin brightener
- A good moisturizer
- Highlighter
- Mascara
- Blush
- Eye lift serum

There are two rules you have to remember. Healthy skin is beautiful skin and you can work with what you got. A lot of women make the mistake of thinking that because they have a few things different with their skin. 

You can improve on what you got.

Start with a clean palette. Clean your skin thoroughly every day but not with harsh soaps. Instead use a moisturizing cleanser. Be sure to moisturize your skin day and night. You also want to use an eye lift serum as well. In most cases it is not the makeup but what you do to your skin before the makeup.

You should also be using a skin brightener to give your skin a bit of a glow. 

You can make dry dull skin look brighter and healthier with a quality skin brightening cream. If you use the skin brightener you may be able to forgo the foundation.

The goal at any age is to use less makeup and still look great. Apply highlighter right above your eyebrows because it will give your eyes a lift. Add some highlighter right under your eyes. This will give your eyes a more wide open look.

Trick With Mascara

To give your eyes a fresh young look apply mascara to the outer lashes of your eyes first and work your way in using less mascara toward your inner eye. 

You can lengthen the outer lashes just a little more than the inner lashes to give the effect of pulling up your eye lid.

Contouring With Just Blush

You do not need an elaborate system to contour your face. Use your highlighter right under your cheek bone and blend well. 

Than use a light blush right on your cheek bones. This will lift your cheeks and give you a younger appearance.

Highlighted Looks – Or Fake Beauty? The Plastic Surgery Question

Highlighted Looks

All you have to do is pick up any beauty magazine to see how people feel about plastic surgery. There is always some news about a celebrity’s “new look” thanks to plastic surgery. 

There are a few things that everyone should consider when they are considering plastic surgery. If it is noticeable that you have had plastic surgery than you are doing it wrong. 

Plastic surgery should be used to enhance the look not completely rearrange the look. There are subtle things that you can do that will give you a youthful look without giving you that “did you see what she did to her face?” look.

Lips

Plumping up the lips (not too much) can help give back some of what time has taken from you, of course there is a balance. 

A little filler can go a long way in making you look great but too much and you look like you had too much filler pumped into your lips. A good plastic surgeon is the place you should be headed when you want some filler for your lips. 

This is a loosely regulated industry where some spa’s over the injections it is not the best option when you want to ensure that you are getting a natural look. Go to a professional.

Botox

Botox is an easy way to get rid of the lines that make us look older as long as it is done right. It is when it is over-done that there are problems. 

Botox is such a common option that the cost has come down substantially and can be an affordable option for anyone.

Cheeks, Fillers and Lines

Nose jobs used to be the most popular plastic surgery procedure but now cheeks, fillers and getting rid of lines have muscled nose jobs out of the way. 

Basically cheek implants, chin implants and fillers are the new nose jobs. In some cases the changes are temporary and will last up to 6 months in other cases the approach is more permanent. In both cases you should always remember that less is more. 

You want to enhance what you already have and not change your look.

Make Sure

One of the reasons that people fail at their enhancements is because they do not use a professional or they are insistent on having more done then they should. 

Let the professional guide you and you will have a better outcome.

The Appropriate Makeup for a Job Interview

Makeup for a Job Interview

There is one thing you should remember when it comes to the appropriate makeup for a job interview. 

Less is more. Any time you have a job interview you want to look your best but not club ready best. You want to appear conservative and use little makeup in neutral shades so that your makeup is not a distraction.

These tips can help you to look your best without looking over done.

Neutral is the Word

You want to avoid heavy makeup colors or red lips and go for a more neutral natural look to ensure that your job interview is a success. 

It is easy to get the right look when you use the right tools. Of course you want to be sure that your skin is nice and hydrated before you get started so use a good moisturizer. 

Choose your palette not to match your clothing but to match your skin tone. Consider how you will wear your hair for the interview and build your makeup palette around it.

The Palette

You cannot go wrong with neutral shades and earth tones. You do not want to walk into your interview with a dark smoky eye. 

While it may look great it may also be a distraction and because you do not know who will be doing the interview and how they feel about too much makeup in the work place you always want to go with a more conservative look. 

Choose nude lips with a little gloss on top. Use browns and beiges on your eyes. Use mascara not false eyelashes. Stay away from overtly bright colors.

Why no False Eyelashes?

False eyelashes are great because that add that touch of glamour but they can be perceived as being a little too over the top for work. 

You can easily get your lashes in good enough shape for a job interview with mascara.

No Red Lips

Red lips are great for a night on the town but they can be a little shocking during the day and absolutely are not what you would call conservative. 

Stay with a neutral tone on the lip you also want to only use a lipliner that is the same exact color as your lipstick if you use one at all.

Avoid Heavy Eyeliner

You can line your eyes but use a thinner line than you would normally. 

A few adjustments and your makeup will look great!

Choosing the Right Makeup for Your Skin Tone and Face Shape

Choosing the Right Makeup 

Every woman is gifted with a different face shape, whether yours is longer or more heart-shaped, there are many different shapes in the world. 

When you’re doing your makeup it is important that you choose the right items not only for your face shape but for your skin tone as well. 

It is essential to make sure that you look your best.

Heart Face Shape

Women with a heart shaped face generally have a narrow chin and a wider forehead, much like Reese Witherspoon. 

When you’re doing your makeup you’ll want to stray away from bringing too much attention to your chin and cheekbones. Instead, choose to focus on your lips and your eyes. 

Choosing the right bright lipstick and adding a pop of color to your cheeks can help to make your face appear fuller. Rosy tones are preferable for women of all different skin tones.

Round Face Shape

If you have a rounder face you’ll have a forehead and a lower face that are equal in width and extremely prominent cheek bones much like Kirsten Dunst. The main objective for women with a round face is to make sure that they add definition in all the right places. This can easily be done with the help of a bronzer that is relatable to your skin tone so that it looks natural and sun kissed. For darker complexions choose a deeper brown and paler complexions can rely on a softer brown.

Square Face Shape

Much like Jennifer Garner, if you have a square face you’ll also have severe angles with your jawline and your hairline. 

Softening your angular features is what will help you to look more feminine and with the right highlighting makeup items, you can add the perfect feminine glow. Rosy toned blushes are preferable for lighter complexions and a more golden highlighter is great for darker complexions.

Oval Face Shape

If you’ve noticed that you’re working with a longer face with a forehead and lower face of the same width, you may have a face shape like Jessica Alba. 

It is essential that you cut down on the length of your face by focusing on horizontal makeup tricks such as contouring. You can choose a rosy or a bronzy blush and make sure that you apply it horizontally to your face. This will helps to define your eyes, lips, and your cheeks which will draw the attention away from a longer face.

Beauties Before And After Makeup

Before And After Makeup

Skin is the biggest organ of our body.
Most TV shows mislead women to think that TV stars have perfect skin. In reality they have faces dotted by freckles, shining from suaveness, and ordinary like the rest of us.

But with a little foundation everything changes.

Women add powder to their complexion, and underline their cheeks with light rouge, and add some glossy lipstick to their lips – and here – beauty is born.
Beauties are ready to conquer the world and male hearts!

A woman without make up needs to have a very healthy skin, otherwise she looks as if it she has been bleached.

Most women feel naked without the make up.
They look like after a heavy hangover, with shadows under their eyes and all kinds of face defects. Some of them refute the fact that a woman needs only her smile to be pretty.

Without makeup, they are very plain, to ugly, with missing eyelashes, colorless lips and low self confidence. But if you add artificial eyelashes and a hard dark lipstick –the same woman can look like a Disney princess.

Some women are gifted and look good without makeup.

That means only that with makeup they will look simply wonderful.
From the hippie, natural style to the gorgeous Barbie expression there are three small steps – foundation, mascara, lipstick. Even if your face is covered with multiple freckles like Pippi Longstocking’s – foundation helps smoothen your skin.

Blue eyes underlined with black pencil look wonderful. Dark, heavy mascara is very pretty for a face shouldered by long dark hair.

If you are black wear bright raspberry lip gloss and golden, and purple shade on your eyelids.
Natural makeup usually has the best effect on women with regular face features.

Foundation is a savior in case of skin conditions.

One of the basic reasons women wear so much make up is self-confidence. They also wear accessories, silver and golden necklaces and huge earrings to underline their female beauty.

Women with pink complexion dye their hair in bright blonde and use slightly pink lipstick for the perfect “girl next door” look.

Some women express themselves with tattoos of flowers and dragons. Brunettes put brown shades to underline their brown eyes.

Black women look very good with golden locks and shiny makeup and light lipstick. Parisian red is a fashion statement, usually worn by the Cabaret and burlesque artists. Chances are with this color, you will not recognize the woman – it’s screamingly sexual and attractive.

There are women with Parisian red hair – and that according to brilliant coiffeurs is plain tasteless like wearing an earring on your nose. Probably the one thing worse than that is hair in purple and blue and earrings on the mouth.

If you must sin artistically wear pink brocade on your eyelids, surrounded by black eyeliner.

What TV does not reveal is, that there are those exceedingly maintained women, who need no makeup, and they are the true Queens of Beauty.

The lack of make up gives the woman a naturally affable appearance and men keep wondering why all of us are trying the entire time to make ourselves pretty.

Make Quilt Kits for Others

Make Quilt Kits for Others

As the holidays approach and we are all trying to think of unique gifts for friends and family, quilters have the creative edge.
Even skipping over the obvious gift of a quilt, quilted vest, or quilted home accessory, quilters can give a truly unique gift.

How about giving quilting kits for holidays and other gift-giving occasions?

Chances are that friends and family have been admiring your work and have even stated they wish they could quilt. Those are the people who would love to receive your quilting kit this year. Putting together a quilting kit is not hard and it will allow you to share your craft with others.

First, remember to keep your quilting kits simple. A throw pillow, a wall hanging, table runner or placemats are a good start.

Next, pick your designs. Be sure to keep them pretty basic so beginners will not easily be discouraged. Make a copy of the finished design or quilt block so it can be used as a check point throughout the project.

Cut and label the pieces of fabric needed to complete the project. Remember to include directions. Either handwrite them or type them. Remember to include information about the batting unless you plan to include it in your kit as well.

Remember to include all the necessary notions in your quilting kit: a small pair of scissors, coordinating threads and a couple of needles. Your recipient will be delighted!

Quilted oranments, tree skirts and table runners make nice quilting kits. Find your favorite designs and make holiday quilting kits for your friends.

For friends who have some quilting skills, you could assemble kits to make quilted clothing items or larger projects.

If you are part of a quilting club that is looking for a fundraiser, creating quilting kits would be ideal. Quilting kits encourage others to learn the craft and give a sense of satisfaction upon completion. The fundraiser could be year around since many of the projects could be completed and be given as gifts or holiday ornaments themselves. Keep skill levels in mind when making quilting kits: beginner, intermediate and experienced.

If your club is making quilting kits for a fundraiser, keep in mind to price the kits according to the level of difficulty for which they are designed and on the contents inside the kit. A beginner kit will cost less than a quilting kit because it will not be as complex and detailed. Complex designs will involve more work in putting the quilting kit together. More supplies will also be needed to complete it…which in turn means more cutting of pieces.

Packaging your quilting kits is simple. Use resealable plastic bags to hold the items. Include a copy of the finished product or of the quilt block template. Don’t forget detailed instructions, too! Add your phone number to the instructions in case your friend runs across something they don’t understand. Zip the plastic bag closed and your quilting kit is complete!

If you want to give something a little more than your quilting kit, tuck it inside a personalized tote bag that will be handy for carrying along the project (and future projects). Personalize the tote bag yourself with appliqué, rhinestones, fabric paints or embroidery (or a combination of them all). You may also take the bag to a local embroiderer for a custom monogram or personalization.

You may soon find that your quilting kits are the hit of the holiday season and don’t be surprised if friends and family come to request your quilting kits each year!

A sportsbar is one busy asylum of a city’s night activities. You can have a great time watching your favorite team on large flat screen TVs.

And not only that. A great sportsbar provides other amenities similar to that of a restaurnat/bar. You can dine in or avail drinks while talking it up with a friendly sports fanatic. It is a club with screens in all directions showing only one thing – sports. Obviously. 24/7. There are a bunch of sportsbars out there.

But one should understand how a good sportsbar is different from all the rest. Here are a few tips to find a great sportsbar when you’ve been into one.

A real sportsbar, aside from having a large number of screens showing different sports games, should have a service crew who know something about the sports. It would be nice if the crew could do a little chit-chatting while bar partons hang out in a corner waiting for their drink. It would be very accommodating and will help make customers feel like they are at home.
Other than great coverage of the games, a good sports bar offers other forms of entertainment. It could have a room for billiards. Or it could reserve one corner for darts fanatics. Video game machiens would be cool too. Maybe a private function room for private parties, meetings, or any other gathering.

They could also host competitions for any of the featured entertainment games.

Another thing to keep an eye out for in a sports bar is its wide variety of alcohol and refreshments. Not just beers. It could have something light or something strong or something in between. You should know that another advantage of being in a sports bar than at home is that you don’t have to worry about spilling on the floor. And if you got your drinks, you could order food too. Breakfast like eggs, sausages or hot pancakes, or lunch like omelet, bacon or stew, or dinner like anything grilled, suit yourself.

Service-wise, a good sports bar’s host, hostess and staff should be very helpful and attentive to the visitor’s needs. All bartenders should be skilled on drinks and different mixes. The waiters and waitresses should also be very welcoming and quick. Customers never enjoy waiting more than 15 minutes for their orders from a smug-looking ma?.

There a couple things that are required for the perfect sports bar. Regular customers would say the first time they walked in, they felt like they found a new home. Staff and attendants were praised by their upbeat nature. The food was praised also as superb. They were even impressed by the newly decorated sportsbar with TVs surrounding the entire bar side. All these aforementioned aspects make up a great sportsbar, but the most important thing is to make clients feel like they have a place to go whenever they feel like it and that they do not only get great sports coverage but great times and great company.

Ultimate Guide for Flawless Makeup

Guide for Flawless Makeup

The flawless makeup is something that every girl and woman want.

The question here, though, is how some women can do it, but others always fail and appear either like clowns, or like sick people in the end? The answer is simple – you need to know how to apply and achieve this flawless makeup style.

There are few techniques and tips you need to find out and only then, you will get that awesome natural, porcelain –styled face with radiance and charm all the time!

1. Begin on clean base

No makeup will last or will look gorgeous, if it is applied on dirty or oily face. Purchase a decent cleanser. Choose it according to your type of skin.

Women with greasy or normal skin, will probably prefer the washing gels and soaps, while females will dry skin should better buy some foam or cleansing milk.

2. Apply moisturizer, EVEN THOUGH the makeup

Some women believe that if they have makeup or they use foundation every day, moisturizer is unnecessary. If you are one of these women, you are making the top mistake ever.

The flawless makeup leaves your skin look natural and all the details of your face attractive and nice.
For this purpose, the moisturizer is on mandatory.
It improves the blemishes, dry zones, spots or any red areas.

If you want to replace the moisturizer with something more helpful and colourful, get yourself either a BB, or a CC cream.

3. Prepare your face for a flawless makeup

The only way to do so is to apply a primer.
No matter what brand you prefer, the primer will make your face – including the eye zone, as well as the eyelids – ready to be beautified.
Keep in mind that if you get yourself a bad base, your entire makeup will go to hell.

So, forget about feeling ashamed or embarrassed, while you are in the beauty shop, but test all the primers and choose the best one for your skin!

Use Downward Strokes When Applying Makeup

Use Downward Strokes When Applying Makeup

When you want to clean your face, you usually wash it first and then put some moisturizer.

And in order to lessen fine lines, you apply it with upward strikes. You may think that you can use that type of strokes when applying foundation or powder, but it is actually the opposite.

In that case you have to use downward strokes.
The reason for this is the little hair that is growing on human faces. It tends to grow downwards that is why this is the direction that you need to use to apply your makeup.

Otherwise you will only achieve the so-called “peach puzz”, and you will make that little hair more noticeable.

Three Interesting Makeup Tricks!

1.The Most Important Thing – Proper Contouring

Proper countering is perhaps the most important thing when you apply makeup on your face. The main reason for using makeup on your face is that you want to hide the features that you do not like so much and underline the ones that are your favourite. Using makeup and the proper contouring is important when you are going to pose for photos, because the camera is much more sophisticated then the normal human eye and it can capture all the shadows and highlights.
There are special powders for proper countering and highlighting and you can try to use them, but there is also the variant to use such powder that is darker than your skin with a few shades, and a foundation that is lighter than you skin. There are certain areas that you need to define with darker shades – your neck, under your cheek bones, and other parts of your face like the zone under your eyes and the t-zone is where you should highlight.

2.The Illusion of Larger Lips

Well, unfortunately we are not all blessed with big and juicy lips that we like so much to see on a woman’s face, but there are a few tricks that can help you create this illusion. The simplest one is to use a lip pencil and apply a line outside your normal lip line. That means just to go slightly off your normal lip line so that you create the effect; otherwise all you could achieve is to look like a clown.

3.How to Save Your Eye Line

If you are using eyeliner as part of your makeup vision, perhaps you also check from time to time if it is still there. Some eyeliners are not so stable and tend to vanish after some time, may be because they are not like waterproof makeup. But waterproof makeup is really hard to be taken off, the process of removing, for example the lashes, can be even painful. That is why I prefer not to use waterproof makeup but have some tricks for saving the makeup on my face. Such a trick is to put pressed powder under your eye liner on your bottom lid. With this you create some kind of a barrier so that your eyeliner does not go downward.

Fantastic Makeup Tips for Formal Cocktails

Fantastic Makeup

There are two things you need to take under consideration, when it comes to the perfect makeup.

First of all, your own facial skin complexion and features – such as nose shape or the eye color – become the bases for your ideas and conceptions.

Though, the next thing you need to weigh in your mind is the occasion.

As you know even the best makeup idea is never fine and beautiful enough if you apply it on an inappropriate place or time. Vanguard and colorful makeup ideas, for instances, are not very suitable for the office or for a walk in the park.
However, they could be amazing for formal cocktail. Such an occasion requires smart, simple, original, but not too eccentric clothing. Thus, the accent must be your cool makeup. Speaking of all of these, check out our fantastic makeup tips for formal cocktails!

1.Outstanding ombre-style makeup

At a formal cocktail, you will probably prefer to wear either a little black dress, or even a set of shiny pants with sateen shirt.

Depriving your clothing outfit from many colors and bright accents means you need to balance with the makeup. And the ombre idea is just superb for such a case!

2.Gorgeous sleekness

Soft materials and feminine cuts of the formal cocktail dresses or other clothing items create a wonderful silhouette.

The makeup that will suit it could be both – gorgeous and sleek. This means you need to put an accent on the perfectly created porcelain-style fair complexion with slight blush. As to the eye, eyeliner with fake eyelashes is superb. The lipstick in this case must be both – classical red or sexy nude.

3.Girly shininess

There is nothing bad to bring in some gloss or shininess in your fantastic formal cocktail makeup. Though, do not exceed with the brilliance, because you need to look serious, but cute, feminine, but independent on this occasion. Balance the makeup by choosing where to bring in the luster. Choose either the lips, or the eyes.

4.Classy and fancy formal cocktail makeup tips

If you still, though, want to skip to the classy idea and show the best of your look at the cocktail, then go for an amazing red lipstick with smokey eye shadows. Another idea is to lean on the beige thematic and have some soft complexion with smooth blush, brown eye shadows and nude lipstick.

Last, but not least consider the idea to be more girlish with pinky look, where the eyes must be colored in darker nuance than the lips.
Last, but not least, we need to warn you that every little detail from your formal cocktail appearance is very significant.

And the makeup must be the last thing you need to consider and create, so it will not be either too drastic, or too light!

Brown Foundation – Yes or No?

Brown Foundation

When it comes to choosing the best foundation shade for you, there are lots of things you need to take under consideration and estimation.

Factors are numerous, as well as the tips you can use, but the main idea you need to follow, is to look natural and a little bit more attractive than you look with no makeup.
And today we have decided to discuss the brown foundation as a base you need to use and consider when you have to get a final simple, but awesome makeup style!

1. Which skin requires the brown foundation?

Absolutely forget about it, if you natural skin complexion is either too pale, or fair. The final effect will not be good at all.

On the contrary – you will as a fake doll from those cheap kid`s toys stores.
Still, if you love different shades of brown, you can find the least dark one and apply it in summer, when the sunlight makes your skin more radiant.

Though, if your natural complexion is dark, the brown foundation in all of its shades is perfect for you.
Deep dark eyes – brown or black – also look amazing in a combo with such a generous nuance.
Keep in mind that such a complexion might be perfectly improved with shining and glossing blush. Such a makeup is ideal for your night out.

2. What lipstick nuance to add?

Applying brown foundation on your skin requires deeper tone for your lips. Of course, the most ideal decision for you is purchasing a nice brown lipstick.

Go for a nuance close to natural chocolate, coffee or dark beige. All of these alternatives are amazing for both – casual daily and evening makeup conceptions.

However, you can always rely on classics, too, because dark peach and red lips might become extra nice accents on your brown-painted complexion, too. If you are looking for simpler makeup idea, transparent gloss is another nice idea, too!

Say no to brown foundation, if you prefer girlish lipstick nuances such as light peach, orange or candy-like pink!

3. How to focus the attention on eyes

Your eyes will never be on display if you wear brown foundation and you do not add any colour to them. So, better discover the easiest tips to create smoky eyes with palette nuances like green, purple, pink or blue.

You do not have to give up from the brown foundation, on the other side, in case you are not fond of colourful eye shadows.

What you can do, though, is to wear it with dark grey or black eye shadows. Nice eyeliner fits the brown foundation in an amazing way, as well! As a conclusion, we must say that brown foundation is appropriate for all types of makeup conception.

Still, you need to avoid it only if you are pale or if you prefer more girlish nuances for your lips!

The Worst Makeup Mistakes You Might Be Still Doing

Worst Makeup Mistakes

When you were a young woman, probably your first steps in makeup were not that successful as today.

However, with time females get experienced enough to put her makeup on every morning and every time before going out as it is a general routine like breathing or feeding on the table.

Still, a research has shown that even the most experienced girl or woman in makeup tend to make errors that can be even referred to the skills of a little and non-aware in fashion yet girl.

So better check out the worst mistakes you might be still doing right away and simply stop doing them!

1.Wrong Selection of Shades for Complexion

Whether it is your makeup base, or the concealer you use for covering the blemishes and little wrinkles, as well as the foundation, the right shade selection is a must.

Be extremely aware with the purchasing of these products, because they are the key and the general elements of your final makeup.
So, keep in mind that your foundation needs to be as close to your natural facial nuance as you can find, while the concealer on the other side – if you put it to cover the tired eye zone – must be darker.

2.Applying Makeup Products on Dry Skin

Whatever you apply on your dehydrated and not prepared with some solid moisturizing skin it will look like hell on your face.
It`s not only about putting some hydrating cream before the foundation, but it is also hydrate the eyelids, if you love wearing eye shadows and want them to appear for longer.

Also, such a makeup approach makes your face look too faked.

3.Wearing Blue Makeup on Eyes

Ok, you might be admiring blue eyes very much, but putting blue makeup will not make your eyes blue. On the contrary – blue eye shadows wok with very few people and usually such a makeup conception ends up with other final effect – “the physically abused girl”.

If you like this palette, better replace it with purple or green. And if you still prefer the blue one, mix it with smokey makeup for a more normal final effect.

4.Lip Plumping

Old-fashioned retro way to plump your lips with an eye liner in pink is a total disaster.

If your lips are too thin, get yourself an awesome gloss with plumping effect or simply go for a brighter colour, which will help you to compensate the “volume” with the “artistic colourful side” of your lips.
Still, keep in mind that this method is ok, but to apply it you need to be a real pro, because every wrong move leads to wrong face at all!

5.Wearing Glitter 24/7

Glitter is cool, but only for a night out and mostly – in dark places like a disco.

This means that you need to forget about wearing glossy eye shadows at work and avoid them in formal events and occasions, too, where the classy line can be better emphasized with common shades like green and brown.

Summer Makeup Tips For Women With Oily Facial Skin

Summer Makeup With Oily Facial Skin

Oily skin is one of the most popular facial skin types across women.

There is a moment, when they get sick and tired of taking care of it.
Though, it is essential for such a skin to be maintained and treated finely regularly and according to the season.

Since summer is so close, we will now give you all of the tips and rules you should obey, while the temperature are high and the sun shines directly on your face.

1. Continue your strict cleaning routine

Cleaning your face regularly and with the proper products is a must – especially in summer, when your facial skin becomes oiler than ever.

The hotter the weather is, the more careful you are supposed to be as to the hygiene of your face. Avoid cleansing milk, but rely on some fresh tonic with cucumber.
Such a beauty product will prepare your face for a light makeup that is suitable for summer season.

2. Powder is better than foundation

We know that those awful pimps cannot be hidden with powder, but only with your favourite liquid foundation, but you must forget about it in summer.

The foundation is too oily for your oily skin and sunlight makes it stuck directly into your pores…You know quite well what happens, when your pores get stuck, don`t you?

So, better rely on some matte powder. And as to the pimps, do not worry – the sun rays will remove them after one awesome at the beach!

3. It is now the time for the shimmering procedure…

Some people think that shimmering products for oily facial skins are not ok.

But they must have seen such a makeup on oily face that has not been disposed at the direct sunlight. Sunlight, as we have already said it above, makes wonders with your oily skin.
And guess what – the blush looks amazing on such a skin, especially if it has some golden pieces!

4. Eyes on, face – free for some refreshing procedures!

What we mean and recommend is to have some more free of powder days. To highlight your look, though put the accent on your eyes.

This means you need to choose some really cool and original ideas for eye makeup to balance your “naked” facial skin.

Why to do so? Because you can use the moment to refresh your facial skin with thermal water every time you feel too hot and every time you feel your pores too blocked with dirtiness and sweat!

5. Lipstick – whatever you like!

Unlike women with dry facial skin, your lips will remain just fine in summer.

The drier the facia skin is, the more the lips of the face get worsen in summer, when it is hot. On the contrary – your lips will be as lovely as they are now, so you can wear your favourite lipstick shade.

Makeup Products That Should Never Leave Your Woman`s Bag!

Makeup Products That Should Never Leave Woman`s Bag

They say you can find anything in a woman`s bag and it is not a secret to anyone that it is a real mess in this place. 

Among all those handkerchiefs, purses, smartphone and other modern devices, there must be, though, a certain place for your makeup tools. 

Getting dressed and beautified before work is enough to keep yourself fresh and daisy during the entire day, so having some tools and products at hand is always a must.

1. A fancy mirror with some cotton

Wearing these two things are the first tools you need to put in your bag. 

Even though it is small, do not leave your house without the magical mirror! Incidents, splits and even tears from happiness can happen all the time and you should be always prepared to remove the blurred makeup from your face – mostly from your eyes!

2. Foundation + powder

It is not even necessary to wear your most luxurious and expensive foundation or the large professional powder you have bought from your professional makeup stylist. 

A compact set of powder and foundation will remove the faults in your makeup during the busy day. Though, do not forget that your bag`s foundation and powder should correspond to the nuances and shades to your home set of these! 

Otherwise, when you apply numerous colours on your face, you will look like a painting made by a painter in a drunk condition!

3. Lipstick and some lip balm

Both are fine to make your lips look awesome during the whole day, but only if they come together. Put some lip balm every time you think off to moisturize the lips and keep the cracks away. 

The lipstick is in your pocket for any kind of emergency situation, when you have to freshen up yourself and conquer another goal from your routines! 

Besides, you can never know what an awesome new guy you can meet in the elevator, right?

4. Tweezers

Ok, your office might not be the best place for regular cosmetic procedures of your face, but there are many days at work, when there`s nothing to do, but you need to be there. 

Making your eyebrows before a big meeting or a sudden date appointment is also an urgent situation, when the tweezers might be quite needed!

5. A universal brush

Get a brush that will suit both – the procedure for more glowing cheeks and the recovery of your office eye makeup. 

You can try a compact folding brush that can become a brush for the powder and a brush for the eye shadows at once. 

Also, keep the brush in a little plastic pocket or a box to avoid gathering too many bacteria that will eventually will be put on your face, while refreshing your makeup!

Meeting His Parents For The First Time…What Makeup Should I Wear?

What Makeup Should I Wear?

Awkwardness, lots of worries and so much shame for nothing and in vain…These are only parts of the complex feelings you feel, when you face the mandatory first meeting with his parents.

It is scary to some of women and it is so embarrassing to others.

Personally I do not even understand what`s the point of getting so stressed about this meeting. Sooner or later it happens after all.

And if you show the best of yours, you will definitely get the approval you are actually going to.
But here`s where you need to consider one extra important thing – what`s the most appropriate appearance.

You know those sullen moms that do not want to give their little sons away. And you also know those mothers, who are more obsessed by fashion than their son`s girlfriend…Some of these mothers is your potential mother in law.

So, make sure you follow my tips as to what makeup to wear during the first meeting with his parents!

1. Complexion is natural, but not shimmering, extra dark or oily…

The liquid foundation will probably spoil his mother`s cover.

And the shimmering face of yours will attract his father’s attention too much, so the mum will eventually start hating you – and for a reason.

The makeup here is supposed to be quite natural. So better choose some matte or creamy foundation or better go for a good covering powder.
No mother would like his son to date a woman that is too young to have pimps or too old to have as many wrinkles as she does…

2. Eye makeup is simple and gentle for this occasion!

Those cat-eye looks you have conquered his heart months ago will not work with his parents.

Actually, nothing too dramatic or baby-doll-like will work.

The eye makeup is supposed to be very, very precise. What I mean is to wear mascara and to highlight your eye shape. Please, avoid pink and blue and if your eyes are not green, do not choose Reseda or purple, either.

The best idea here is the smokey (light one!) makeup with grey in case the meeting is during the evening and a bit of your brown eye shadows for a lunch.

3. The lipstick can ruin your first meeting with his parents…

The thing with the lipstick is even more significant than everything we have already said.

Well, here is where I cannot give you the precise answer, because in most cases his parents probably will not like any kind of lipstick on your month.

Wondering why? It is just their intuition will speak instead of the words that come out of your lips.

They will always think only about the scenes, when you kiss him with these lips. So, no shimmering, no gloss, no classical red or vanguard plump is ok here. Maybe, peach will save your life and love!

The Effective Makeup Tricks For Those Moments, When You Are Sick

Effective Makeup Tricks When You Are Sick

It can happen to any of us – getting sick in the most inappropriate moment, when you need to look stunning and amazing.

And even if a woman does not have any special occasion, the sickness will definitely spoil her mood, when she look herself in the mirror and see somebody else, but not that glowing appearance she wears everyday!

Don`t worry – we`ve got the right solutions for you.

Here are the effective makeup tricks for those moments, when you are sick and you do not look that well…but as bad as you feel!

1. Minimize the makeup

Yes, instead of the approaches that most women have, when they get sick, we recommend you the opposite.
Better avoid wearing too much makeup, because it just will not look that awesome as it looks, when you are healthy.

The thing is that when you have a cough, your face suffers, too. And the foundation will apply – no matter how good and expensive it is – will appear as you have placed it directly on a sheet of paper!

2. Speaking of foundation…

If you have such, better replace it with a BB or CC cream.

These new innovative products are amazing in general.
Even if you are not sick, you can wear it for your everyday makeup, when you want to minimize the makeup effect, but desires for a more natural look.

Besides, BB and CC creams have rich complex of minerals and vitamins that will heal your skin, while you are taking medical drugs to heal your body!

3. Lots of moisturizer and little powder

That is my favourite personal formula for makeup, when I got sick.
The moisturizer is needed, because your skin gets dry, when you are ill.

And the powder in little quantity will only slightly cover the pimps that might appear – regardless whether you suffer from acne, or not.

4. Pre-treat your lips

The same awful thing happens to your lips – yes, they will get dry and will have bad cracks, too.

So, always pre-treat the lips with some lip balm and then, you can apply the lipstick. Though, do not expect miracles from the balm.

The lips will not be yet ok, till you get healthy enough, so better have light, but not dark lipstick!

5. Balance with clothes

Sometimes, a woman must be wise and to make cheats – especially when she has a case with her appearance.
It`s like with the faults, the sick look can be balanced and compensated with an amazing clothing outfit.

Thus, the attention will be on your body (which will probably lose some weight, when you are sick and this is the only awesome thing) instead of on your face!

There is a big possibility for many makeup and cosmetic products you have used before and were satisfied with not to work anymore. 

Some of them are just made for younger skins, but others are just not appropriate anymore. 

Start reading the labels of the goods you buy and look for signs that they are either ok for all kinds of ages and skin types, or specially tailored for your age.

2. Always begin the makeup routine with faults covering

Do not worry if you have wrinkles and fine lines. 

Simply, hide and cover them. 

And do not blame the age for this task of your makeup routine, because if you recall the past, you will remember that back in the days you were 20-30-years old, pimps were things you used to eliminate with your concealer. 

Things are just changing, but it does not mean your overall life and approach as to maintain your look should be also changed.

3. Bring your glow back to your face!

This is something that we lose after the age of 40, so use the most modern makeup products to restore it. 

Fine facial glow can be achieved with the contemporary makeup products like shimmering eye shadows or proper foundation. 

In all cases stay up to date with the latest makeup innovations and there is a big chance for you to look even better than when you were 32-years old thanks to the newest products on the market!

4. Eyes are yet the accents…

The only difference is that you need to highlight them once you finish with the correction of their shapes. 

Fullness under the eyes, as well as the dark circles, must be on mandatory eliminated before you put any kind of eye shadows. 

Foundation and powder are not the only makeup products that can help you. 

Use the eyeliner to restore your natural eye shape and then apply natural or neutral shades with a classical curve at the edges of your eyes!

5. Never go out without your lipstick

Lips are what a person usually looks at a woman`s face at first. 

And with age, they become cracked and dried. Get yourself an awesome hydrating lipstick with red to peach colour and never go out without it. 

Freshen up yourself every time you think off and look awesome all the time – regardless your age!
