Products such as eyeliner pencil, concealer, eyelash curler, eyeshadow palettes and eye cosmetics removers are required for the cat eye look.<br />
<br />
Start by applying concealer inside the corners of the eyes and below to hide dark circles if there is any<br />
<br />
Curl your lashes using an eyelash curler to increase definition<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3NtaxUf9qYY/TbwV_H3Z0cI/AAAAAAAAAh0/9XaAlKUFZh8/s1600/11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3NtaxUf9qYY/TbwV_H3Z0cI/AAAAAAAAAh0/9XaAlKUFZh8/s1600/11.jpg" /></a>Pull the eyelid tight and lift it up at the end of the eye. Maintain your hands steady when drawing a line right above the iris and stretch the line to the external eye. With a sweeping movement, flicker the line up and thicken it. Finish it up with a sharp point. Ensure that the thickest line is created at the outer corner of the eye.<br />
<br />
Apply and off-white eyeshadow by using a brush directly above the iris. Put two or three layers of dark grey or black mascara. Black is in fact strongly recommended but you can test out dark grey and see if you would prefer the end result.<br />
<br />
Lastly, get rid of any kind of smudges using a Q-tip and eye makeup remover.<br />
<br />
Cat’s eye makeup is very adaptable. You can apply it to create a sophisticated look to a spectacular one. With the correct mixture of contrasting makeup colour palette, cat eye makeup could work for any occasion. Although learning the way to accomplishing the cat makeup look requires persistence, ultimately the result is satisfying.<br />

<strong>Apply eyeliner near to your eyelash line:</strong>Make use of an eyeliner shade that is a bit darker compared to your own natural eyelash color. The objective is to make it seem like there’s a lot more hair at the beginnings of your eyelashes than there really is.<br />
<strong>Clear away eye cosmetics lightly and completely prior to going to bed</strong>. Allowing makeup to sit on your lashes for prolonged time periods almost certainly is not suitable for your eye lashes.<br />
<strong>Curl your lashes:</strong> Flat Lashes appear small mainly because of the direction at which they are viewed. An eyelash curler can give your eyelashes some additional bounce but do it carefully and gently.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Or6QwkrGBtI/TaK8TErFYCI/AAAAAAAAAhk/gAc-zxDmivA/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Or6QwkrGBtI/TaK8TErFYCI/AAAAAAAAAhk/gAc-zxDmivA/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a><strong>Use Mascara:</strong> In case you are wearing fake lashes. Mascara will help blend them with your natural lashes. In case you curled your lashes, mascara can help the shape set in position. Mascara generally will always make your lashes look thicker and lengthier.<br />
<strong>Natural home remedies:</strong> a few work, and many do not. Once particular technique is to apply a thin layer of essential olive oil to your lashes before heading to bed at in the evening. Dip a clean mascara wand in the olive oil and carefully brush your lashes from bottom to the end.<br />
<strong>Vaseline:</strong> You may apply vaseline to your eyelashes overnight. It will make your lashes longer , but some individuals are allergic to it around the eyes.<br />

I think I have finally nailed down how to get full sexy lips without the cost of injections. I have compiled below, tips and tricks from various sources. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
Step 1 – Start by gently brushing your lips with a toothbrush in a small circular motion. This will help remove any dead skin particles as well as get the blood circulating to the area.<br />
Step 2 – Using a small amount of gentle exfoliant, repeat your small circular motions using your finger or the toothbrush. Gentle is key!<br />
Step 3 – After removing the scrub and drying your lips, apply a thin layer of concealer on both lips and lightly around the top and bottom ridges.<br />
Step 4 – To lock-in and set the concealer, apply a light layer of powder.<br />
<a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-eIzl49QPgAM/TYtWgKH9Z1I/AAAAAAAAAhM/ZPi8eqtoePk/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-eIzl49QPgAM/TYtWgKH9Z1I/AAAAAAAAAhM/ZPi8eqtoePk/s1600/1.jpg" /></a>Step 5 – With a pencil the same as your natural lip tone, line your lips paying special attention to your newly full ridges thanks to the concealer. For an even poutier look – don’t line the corners of your lips. This will bring the focus to the fleshier more plump section of your smile.<br />
Step 6 – Get two colors of your favorite gloss, one light shade and one slightly darker. Prep your lips with a thin application of the darker shade.<br />
Step 7 – Using your favorite brush, apply the lighter shade on the center more fleshier part of your lips. The lighter shade will cause more light reflection, giving the illusion of a fuller lip.</div>fashcoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794890229449806707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7816930933228284166.post-79644493787839255122011-03-21T03:40:00.001-07:002011-03-21T03:40:08.255-07:00How To Apply Eye shadow<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

For your hands to look great, you need to take very good care of your nails.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Here are things that you need to do on regular basis</div><div><ul style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><li style="margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 7px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Make sure you remove all the nail polish traces from your nails using an acetone-free remover. Leftover nail polish will limit your nails access to oxygen that they need to stay healthy.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 7px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">File your nails properly from one side to the center and from the other side to the center. Do not file them from one end to the other end. Use long and smooth strokes. Finish bu filing the tip of the nail if its too pointy</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 7px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Use some soap water mixed with a bit of lemon juice and olive oil to soak you hands. This will clean and soften your hands.</li>

Wait for the coat to dry and then apply another layer in the same way.</li>

But if you do not apply it properly, it will turn your look upside down, from great to BAD.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Follow these steps to apply an eye liner properly.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">1- Start by choosing the right color for you. Brown and black are good in general but black is more preferable if you have dark hair. Charcoal is also nice and goes well with everything. Test and check which colors work best for your.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">2- If the pencil si too hard and waxy, warm it up a bit using your fingers or some hot water. This will get the pencil to flow better.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">3- Sharpen the pencil properly and start applying the liner on the upper lid. When finished, the pencil’s tip would have smoothed out a bit making it perfect for lower lid application.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">4- Place the tip of the inner corner as close as possible to the eye lash line. Follow the line all the way to the outer corner. As you get close to the outer corner , press hard to make the line thicker and darker.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">5- Connect the top and bottom lines on the outer corner of the eye, but not on the inner corner. If you connect the lines on the inner corner, your eyes will look smaller.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">6- Double check to make sure the lines are even and properly blended. You can use the tip of a small brush to even things out.</div>fashcoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794890229449806707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7816930933228284166.post-64919573216310563732010-12-01T02:18:00.000-08:002010-12-01T02:18:11.720-08:00Best Place to Test Foundation Color<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thebeautyandmakeupblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/11116.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.thebeautyandmakeupblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/11116.jpg" /></a></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">On which place of your body do you match the foundation color? Usually gals test it on the neck, jaw, or inner wrist. But these places are not the best.. here is why.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">If you match on your inner wrist, you are way wrong. The inner wrist has large veins and does not get sun light exposure. So the tone of the skin on your inner wrist cannot be compared with the one on your face.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">The neck is not an ideal place either. Your head drops shadows on your neck and therefore it does not get enough sun light. The tone of skin on the neck also contains much less pigment than the the face.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Also, the jawline does not work for everybody. For some people, the jawline appears and causes different shadows that might be lighter or darker than the rest of the face. The difference is not huge, but why take risks ?</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Beauty experts advice to test foundation on your chest just below the neck. This way your face will look consistent with the rest of your body. This of course assumes that your chest is usually exposed to sun light. If you are a conservative, you can match the color to the outer arm which is usually exposed to the sun in similar amounts as your face.</div>fashcoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12794890229449806707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7816930933228284166.post-19191119585516401772010-11-30T03:28:00.000-08:002010-11-30T03:28:28.538-08:00Great Looking Eye Brows<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thebeautyandmakeupblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/111-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.thebeautyandmakeupblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/111-1.jpg" width="187" /></a></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Follow these steps to achieve great looking eye brows:</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />

SO what is the alternative? …. Organic Makeup.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />

If you are going to buy organic makeup, make sure the product has a USDA seal. This gurantees that the products has at least 95% organic material. Keep in mind that since organic makeup is so beneficial to the skin, its usually more expensive than regular makeup.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br />

Here is a step by step tutorial on how to apply a smokey eye<br />
<br />
1- Use an eye liner and apply generous amounts on the top lashline. Follow that by applying a similar amount on the lower lashes. When applying the eye liner , always start wtih the outer corner of the eye.<br />
<br />
2- Use a pencil brush to spread, blend and smudge the eye liner. Then apply a dark liner inside the rim of the eye.<br />
<br />
3- Apply a dark eye shadow and blend it with the dark eyeliner you have just applied around the eye.<br />

</div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">1- Always start by applying a foundation over your face.
