Lipstick Tips

These tips are keep your makeup lasting longer.
Store lipstick -- and perfume -- in the refrigerator. It'll last longer.
Never use a tester on your lips -- it's unhygienic. Test lipstick on your fingertips instead of the back of your hand: the color and texture are closer to that of your lips.
If you want your lipstick to last, use pencil first as a base. Outline and color in your lips with pencil (nude, if your lipstick shade is light) and slick your lipstick on top.

Your lips will also look softer, "smudgier," and less defined if you don't use pencils or lip liners.

To avoid lipstick on your teeth, after application, run your index finger through the middle of your lips and pull it back out. The excess will come off on your finger, not your teeth.

In a pinch, your lipstick can double as blush. (But never use blush on your lips.)

Outline your lips in pencil before you apply lipstick or gloss if you don't want your lipstick to feather.

Women over 50 usually look better with a cream lipstick rather than a matte or gloss. Every bit of moisture helps.

If your lipstick shade turns out to be brighter than you thought it would be, color in your lips with a pencil a few shades darker than your lipstick (for instance, brown pencil under dark red lipstick) and layer the lipstick on top. Or coat the lipstick with a darker lip gloss, which will turn down the heat.

NEW! In these modern times women and makeup artist are using lip liners less often.
Instead applying lipstick with a lip brush. With non-feathering and long lasting lipsticks now out in the market you don't have to have a liner.

To give the illusion of fuller lips apply a light liner by filling in lips. Apply a darker liner around the outside. Next, Apply in the center of lower lip only and don't use a black or super dark color. Finally apply a clear gloss to the center of your lips.

To make lipstick last longer:
Apply a lip moisturizer like that girls lip balm. Then, outline and fill in the entire lips. Next, Apply lipstick all over lips. Finish it off with lip liner by filling in lips over top of lipstick. *Note lipstick should dry a little first.

How To Fight Against Wrinkles

How you choose to treat wrinkles and other signs of aging depends on what stage of your life you're at. Your age, genetics, pollution and your lifestyle all play a part. Do you exercise, eat smart, a non-smoker, are you around second hand smoke - do you sunbath or get a lot of direct sunlight?

At an early age, even before wrinkles appear, sunblock is the best course of action. It's far easier to prevent wrinkles then it is to erase them.

In your 20's and earlier stage, wrinkles are just beginning to appear, but your skin can still repair itself. Wearing sunscreen regularly will prevent further damage and help the skin regenerate itself. An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) product is also a good idea, because it will lightly exfoliate the dulling layer of dead skin and give it a smoother, clearer look.

Remember to wear sunscreen not only to prevent wrinkles, but because alpha hydroxy acid or retinol can make skin sensitive to light. Alpha hydroxy acids have been used for centuries for skin rejuvenation, but they may carry some risks. These AHA acids may be either naturally occurring or synthetic. The natural AHA acids include:

• Glycolic acid - sugar cane
  
• Lactic acid - milk
  
• Malic acid - apples and pears
  
• Citric acid - oranges and lemons
  
• Tartaric acid - grapes
  
  

Side Effects of Alpha Hydroxy Acids:

The two major side effects of alpha hydroxy acids are irritation and sun sensitivity. Symptoms of irritation include redness, burning, itching, pain, and possibly scarring. The most common side-effects are mild skin irritations, redness and flaking. The severity usually depends on the pH and the concentration of the acid used. People with darker colored skin are at a higher risk of scarring pigment changes with alpha hydroxy acids


When your 30s start to creep up (with a few more lines and wrinkles in tow), retinol products are the next line of defense. Retinol is designed to plump up fine lines and stimulate skin to produce collagen. Alternative natural ingredients in face lotions to take a look at are Primrose, rosehip, antioxidants, GLA - an essential fatty acid that promotes healthy skin, all EFA ( Essential Fatty Acids), or CoEnzyme Q10.

If your skin is starting to show signs of dryness, a moisturizer will hydrate it and make wrinkles look less apparent but won't make them disappear. Research has show that Emu oil, Aloe Vera, & Shea butter provide not only moisture but will hydrate your skin by maintaining healthy levels. Read about Omega 3 6 & 9 in the previous post section of this web page. When wrinkles become stubborn, usually around your early 40s, it maybe time to see your dermatologist, who can prescribe a skincare regimen to help keep wrinkles at bay.

In addition, she has various chemical peels in her anti-aging arsenal. Though low level strength peels and many other anti aging products can be found online or at your local store. Peels come in varying strengths, depending on the severity of your wrinkles and age spots. Light, glycolic acid-based peels, done once a month over the course of a few months, will help smooth some of the fine lines (although they won't have much effect on deep wrinkles), fade brown spots, and even out overall skin tone. TCA (trichloracetic acid) peels are a bit stronger and reserved for deeper wrinkles. They are used at varying concentrations and leave skin red and sensitive for a few days.

Chemical peels tend to have more severe side-effects than AHA or Retinal. Possible side effects: blistering, burning and skin discoloration, although they are usually mild and go away a day or two after treatment. Don't have the money or want a natural alternative? Emu oil can lighten brown spots and age spots. Just ask Mildred who is in her 80's and said she sees an noticeable difference in her skin's moisture, appearance and her now faded brown spot.

Phenol peels are used for very severe discoloration as a last resort. The downsides of phenol peels are that they can leave the skin permanently lighter and involve more risks than more gentle peels. Laser peels are a newer weapon that only require a single treatment but are reserved for very severe wrinkling.

Dermabrasions, depending on the type of damage you wish to get rid of, this could be an alternative to a facelift and should be performed only by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has substantial experience using lasers. I would only use a plastic surgeon though for dermabrasion treatment. The treatments soften the sharp edges of surface irregularities, giving the skin a smoother appearance.

The additional drawback is the healing process; count on light to severe redness of skin, swollen skin, sensitive skin, and peeling several weeks. Also you can't wear most makeup instead use mineral powder that is Hypoallergenic and doesn't have man made chemicals. Otherwise you have to go bare faced (Scream).

Try instead Bare Escentuals, I know its pricey but many of the other low priced name brands contain chemicals. Some list glass in their (translucent powder) ingredients or other chemicals that would do more harm then good and they are not pure mineral makeup. Another mineral makeup foundation to try is Sheer Cover.

In Summary:

Care about yourself and your health. Remember that beauty starts from the inside out. How you feel about yourself counts. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and as always skin is in.

Instant Style

To make glossy or wet evening glamorous eyeshadow trick:
Take dry eye shadow and apply first to your eyes as normal.
Next, take some gloss or petroleum jelly and apply a thin layer all over your lids over top of your eye shadow. Let it dry.

* Try not to apply too much. For a daytime dewy youthful look apply a small amount to your lids. This will create a youthful glow to your eyes. You may want to only wear a touch where the light would hit you naturally. Like on the brow line for a natural look.

Lighten Skin Naturally:Take chick peas and mix them with water to make a paste. Then apply mixture to your face. Old remedy to help lighten dark spots. Though modern creams work wonders today like our new day cream or are overnight anti-aging cream.


Instant Style: Pull yourself together- fast
Rushing out of the house and don't have much time to pull yourself together?

Here's a couple of tips:

1) Put on red lipstick- it instantly pulls you together .

2) Pull up hair at the back of your neck in a low pony tail. Twist hair in a French twist . Do this by twisting hair around in a circle wrapping it around its self. Then pull it and wrap it like your making a bun. Pull hair throw the low bun. Make sure their is a opening. Let a few strands poke up and use bobby bins to secure.

Very easy with practice.

Super Omega 3, 6, 9; Why We Use Them

Borage Seed Oil:
For more than 1500 years, the blue, star-shaped flowers of the borage plant have been used in elixirs and medicinal teas because of its healing properties. This natural oil is a rich source of gamma linolenic acid and has been known to be used in the treatment of eczema and rheumatoid arthritis and in herbal medicine. This oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the borage plant. Borage oil, or "starflower", as the botanical is known, contains up to 24% Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). GLA is an essential fatty acid which the body converts into prostaglandin, a hormone-like substance. Prostaglandin is reported to offer anti-inflammatory properties. In many studies it has been found that a deficiency in GLA attributes to poor skin condition, especially psoriasis and eczema. GLA is an essential fatty acid which the body converts into prostaglandin, a hormone-like substance. Prostaglandin is reported to offer anti-inflammatory properties. In many studies it has been found that a deficiency in GLA attributes to poor skin condition, especially psoriasis and eczema.Numerous studies have been conducted with borage oil, which ultimately demonstrate the oil's high-level efficacy when used either orally or topically. In the early 1980s, GLA, an essential fatty acid that promotes healthy skin, was identified as a triacylgycerol component in Borage Oil. Borage Oil is the richest source of GLA currently available.
