Hi Ladies,

You bought red lipstick...but many times you found that the shade just wasn't right for you. Perhaps most of the time it was just too bright for your skin tones.

Try adding a little brown to your red. It tends to tone down the brightness. Experiment a little. You will have lots of fun and create signature colors that are all your own.

If you manage to make/mix up the perfect color for yourself and you don't want to continue mixing your own color, take a sample to the mall with you and find a red that is as close as possible to the shade that you created.

I hope you find this useful when you want to look va va voom for that special night out!!!

Hi Everyone,

Many of the cosmetic brands offer a wide variety of textures, hues and types which are appropriate for the different needs, weather conditions, shape and color of the eyes. As you know there are: 

liquid eyeliners /that come with a brush and a tube/, 
pencil eyeliner
powder eyeliner.

Unlike the pencil eyeliner, the liquid eyeliner should be applied only to the upper lash-line because it is very heavy for the lower lashes. Those who prefer the classy look should consider using only pencil eyeliner, as the liquid eyeliner creates a more dramatic and sophisticated look.

What are the benefits of applying liquid eyeliners?

frame and defines the eyes
give a longer lasting line
accentuate the eyes
change the eyes’ shape
fill in sparse lashes
emphasize the lash line
deepen the look
highlight the shape of the eyes

Step One. 
Most of the makeup artists advice to apply the liquid eyeliner over the eyeshadow as this way it will stay put on for longer. If you are going to apply an eyeshadow the first thing you should do is to apply an eyeshadow base to avoid smudging and creasing /of course after you have applied your foundation, concealer etc./ Apply the eyeshadows as usual.

Step Two. 
Before you begin the application of the eyeliner make sure you have a mild makeup remover and cotton pads in case you make a mistake. It’s essential to shake the tube before you begin the application. Make sure your hand is steady in order to create a flawless line.

Step Three.
The best way to apply liquid eyeliner is to start drawing in the centre of your upper lash-line. If you find drawing a straight line difficult you can use pencil eyeliner and create a few dashes. Then with the point liner brush of the liquid eyeliner try to connect these dashes. Create only a few dashes. Never draw a line with pencil eyeliner and apply liquid eyeliner over it – you can easily ruin the result. Draw the line as close to the lash-line as possible, following the natural curve of your eyelid.

Step Four. 
If you want to create a thicker line, build the line gradually very carefully.

Remember to holler for any beauty consultation,

Cheers
