Take a long hard look at the people you consider attractive.
Blonde, brunette or redhead, exotic or girl next door,
sophisticated or down-to-earth - they all have one thing in
common... a clear, healthy looking complexion.
There are a few people out there who have simply been
blessed by the Dermatology Fairy, but just a few. Most of
the people who strike you as healthy-looking and, let's face
it, lucky, are in fact dedicated to a good skin-care regime.
We'd all like to have blemish-free skin, and the truth is,
with a little commitment we all can. Even you!
So, how can you change your skin?
No, it won't cost you a dime, all you need to do is change
your habits. People with truly beautiful skin dedicate time,
just a little, and the results are, well, the results are
beautiful.
Here's How You Can Join the Ranks of Pimple Free People
* WASH using an oil-free cleanser and your bare hands
(washcloths and sponges damage your skin), in the morning,
after exercise and before bed no matter how tired you are.
* LAUNDER your sheets frequently - don't lay that freshly
washed face on a less than fresh pillowcase!
* WATER is essential to clear skin. You've heard it before,
but here we go again: Drink at least eight glasses of water
a day.
* EAT HEALTHY FOODS. They are just as important to skin
health as they are to overall health. Fruits and vegetables
provide vitamins and minerals; fish are full of essential
oils; avoid junk foods. Research does not support the
common myth that chocolates cause break-outs, but too much
of any junk food is detrimental to your well-being, and is
therefore bad for your skin.
* SLEEP when you're tired. Sleep, and its counterpart,
relaxation, are necessities, not luxuries. Physical
exhaustion and stress are enemies of a clear complexion.
* BABY your skin. Don't pick at pimples. Avoid touching your
face unnecessarily - the oil on your fingertips belongs on
your fingertips, not on your face. Moisturize and use
sunscreen with at least a 15SPF every day all year long.
Make these habits your own and you will see a difference
in as little as a week. You may even find people looking
a little longer at your face. That look... it'll be envy.
People will be wondering if the Dermatology Fairy has
blessed you.
Share your secrets with the envious masses. Imagine. A
world populated by happy, healthy faces.

7 Steps to Great Makeup
8:23:00 AM
1. Avoid wearing too much
Makeup is meant to enhance features not bring negative attention to you. That's what wearing too much makeup will do; it will bring you unwanted attention. Don't wear too much of anything such as:
1. Eyeliner: dark, thick eyeliner will make you look overdone and will ruin the rest of your makeup.
2. Mascara: too much mascara looks fake and will flake. It looks especially bad if worn with thick eyeliner or dark blue eye eye shadow.
3. Foundation: Make sure your foundation is the same color as your skin. Foundation is meant to protect and give the face a smooth look. The magic word is blend.
4. Powder: The same holds true for powder - not too much. Also, be sure to blend your makeup so there are no obvious lines.
2. Lips
Apply lip liner to completely cover the lips, add color and your lipstick will stay on much longer. Make sure your lip liner doesn't show. Also, your lip color should match your skin tone; wear cool colors if you have cool coloring and warm colors if you have warm coloring. If you want to make your lips look smaller, keep your liner on the inside of your lips. However, if you decide to make your lips look larger, going outside the natural outline of you lips is a mistake. This can look quite messy and unnatural.
3. Appropriate makeup
Wear makeup that is appropriate for the occasion. If you are going to the beach you shouldn't wear the same or as much makeup as you would if you were going dancing. Also, when you are in daylight your makeup should be a lighter than when you are out for the evening.
4. Too little or no makeup
Some women don't wear makeup because they are not sure how to use it and are afraid of being overdone. If you are unsure, start will light colours in your shade. Start slowly and add one product at a time. Maybe start with foundation, add mascara, blush or lipstick.
If you are not used to wearing makeup, using a lot a first may be a little too much for you, so start slowly. The bottom line is a little is better than none. If you are still unsure seek professional advice.
5. Overall look
When your makeup is completed it should look natural. That means avoiding colours that clash. If you have dark skin and hair you will look better in darker shades; light colours will make you look washed out. If your hair and skin tone are light, light colours will look better on you. Dark makeup will make you look older and harsh. If you have
oily skin, first use oil control moisturizer and foundation. Then be sure to wear loose powder, keeping pressed powder with you for touch ups.
6. Hair color
Your hair color should also be in harmony with your skin. If you have dark hair and you want to add color, keep it close to the same shade. If you have light hair, use light colors. As you age your skin will lighten, so should your hair color. One last thing about hair color - if you do color you hair be sure you keep it up, don't let your roots show.
7. One last thing
Keep makeup looking fresh all day by doing regular touch ups. Don't let your makeup fade or crease. Smile!!!

Makeup Tip: Beautiful Eyes
12:41:00 AM
Eyes have been called the windows of the soul because of how much
they communicate. Eyes give your face energy and individuality. They
do not have to be a certain size or shape to be considered pretty - all
eyes have their own unique beauty. When makeup is applied to look
natural it will bring out the eye's true color and enhance the eye's
beauty. When you feel good about your makeup you will be more confident
and will have one less thing to worry about.
A subtle application of eyeliner, shadows and mascara work together to create magic and make your eyes look their best.
Eye Shadow
Eye shadow is meant to highlight and define the eyes. Eye shadow is used to create depth to bring out the beauty of the eyes. A dark color used on the lid will make the eye appear smaller, while a lighter color will make it appear larger. That is what eye shadow is about creating illusions. These are the basic techniques for the following eye shapes:
Small eyes: Don't use too much shadow or liner - it will make you eyes look smaller. Apply a light color on eyelid, use a darker color in the crease and use a highlighter under the brow.
Large eyes: Wear darker shadow on the lid and extend it to the crease. Use a flat color under the brow to highlight.
Deep-set eyes: Use light colors on the eyelid and under the brow. Use a medium color in the crease. Emphasize the outer corners with shadow.
Wide-set eyes: Use darker colors on the inner corners of the eye.
Hooded eyes: Apply light colors on the lid. Use darker colors from the center of the eyelid to the outer corners and blend.
Round eyes: Make round eyes longer by using color all around and extending toward the outer corners.
Asian eyes: Apply highlighter under the brow. Use light shadow on the inner half of the lid and a darker color on the outer half.
1. Light colors cause the eyes to open, dark colors will cause the eyes to recede
2. If you have very light skin avoid dark shades
3. Be careful with shimmer - they will bring attention to imperfections and wrinkles.
4. The eye area is the first to show age don't tug on the skin.
Eyeliners:
Eyeliners are meant to define the eyes so they should do just that, not be the focal point of your makeup. Eyeliners come in various colors and forms liquid, pencil etc. Keep the eyeliner natural. Pencils are available in many colors (for the best look stick to black or brown) and can be sharpened for a fine line. For a smudged effect use a sponge tip shadow applicator or an eye shadow brush. When your pencils are too soft refrigerate them. When they are too hard soften them by holding them between your fingers.
To line the eye, start on the lower lid, just beneath the lashes. When you are finished always smudge the line with your sponge. Stay as close to the lash line as possible. On the upper lid, draw a line form the inner corner to the outer corner, thickening the line toward the outer corner. After the age of 40 keep the line in between the lashes.
Mascara and the creation of beautiful lashes:
Mascara frames your eyes and can make your face come alive. Mascara softly accentuates the eye while thickening and darkening the lashes; it is the finishing touch for eyes. There are several different types to choose from, thickening, and waterproof to smudge proof. Waterproof will need a special remover and smudge proof will wash off easily. It is not a good idea to wear waterproof mascara for extended periods of time since it has a tendency to dry the lashes.
Select a shade of mascara that complements your coloring. Dark shades on pale eyes with brown lashes will darken them and will look harsh. Stay away from blues and other colors since they will ruin your look.
Lashes that are hard to curl may need the help of an eyelash curler. Curl your lashes before you apply mascara - hold for ten to twenty seconds.
To apply mascara look straight into your mirror with your chin slightly lifted so you can see your lashes. Insert the wand only once and twist, don't pump. Pumping can break the brush bristles and distribute the mascara unevenly and will dry out the mascara faster. Start by rolling the wand from root to tip in an upward motion. Reinsert the brush and apply again. If your eyelashes are thick and long they may clunk together. If this happens let them dry and then separate them with the corner of an eyebrow brush.
