Beauty Tips For Everyone

Invisible Shield
To hold your makeup longer, seal it with a spray sealer. Lots of professionals use it. Ben Nye is a recommended brand. The hold may vary in different individuals with different skin type. Spray seal is not recommended for every day, all day use. Final seal is a very good solution for those hot and steamy days to hold your makeup on longer.

Double coverage or thin coverage
If you need a double coverage, you can use a mineral foundation on the top of your liquid foundation. Mineral powder foundation has a bit of shine and glow to it and it gives a good second shield of coverage to your flaw less skin. Or you may use this product for a very light coverage by just brushing it on the bare skin. EMANI is the recommended brand for this product.

My lips are sealed
It is a medium seal by Benefit called Shelaq. The way I use it is to color the whole lips with a desirable lip liner then I brush Shelaq over it and let dry for few minutes. Then apply a touch of lipstick or gloss on the top. You can go back on lipstick for another brush of Shelaq but do not Shelaq the lip-gloss. This product also holds your color from running. You may use Shelaq to seal your eyebrows as well as your lip liner.

Sixty percent of aging is caused by sun damage
It is recommended to use a good sun protection with a minimum SPF of thirty to avoid further damages and preserve your skin’s health. In order to repair your skin at the same time you may use a sun block, which contains nutrients and vitamins like (A, C, E) on the same product.

What is the motor injection air brush makeup?
It's a technique that is used mostly for TV and media work. It looks fine on the film and screen as well as body painting. But it looks pasty up close and in real life. Why we use it so much on films? Because it is fast and easy since in film industry we don't have much time to apply a fully-cared manual application.

Eyebrows
With the help of a thin/ firm bristle brush and a medium brown powder eye-shadow draw your eyebrows. You may slightly wet the brush to get a heavier deposit. Browns come in varies shades. An ash- brown color is recommended for some one with gray or ash blond, or ash brown hair. If your hair is colored in vine red tone use a red brown with cool tone like mahogany or taupe. If you are a red haired with more warm/orange or gold tone you may use a brown with copper and warm tone to it like a brick color.
PS: Make sure the tone is coordinating, the texture is Matt and the debt is medium for your skin tone. Some recommended tones from M.A.C Cosmetics are CORK, SWISS CHOCOLATE, CORDROY, COQUETTE, and OMEGA. They also have a proper brush for the application, which is called an Angled Brush.

Even out the red
If you have a reddish color skin and can not find any color foundation or base to cover up or match. You may use a sheer color corrector or tinted moisturizer of yellowish green or olive green to even out and neutralize the red, then you may apply a sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer over it. Brushing a powder foundation is recommended after using a tint corrector.
You may put some color back to your face by using a proper bronzer under cheekbones to enhance your face. Do not use a pink or any bright tone blush in this particular case.

Water proof makeup verses water resistance makeup?
The difference between the two is: that water resistant makeup only resist water and body perspirations. It is less durable but easier to remove when needed to be removed and in most time removable with a general remover. It is recommended for every day use. For example if you use a water proof mascara every day, and try to remove it every night perhaps after one month you have no lashes left since it is very difficult to get it dissolved and removed. It is not recommended for every day use. Water proof makeup is not really water proof at all the times. This term is used to tell you that the makeup is more resistance to water. Perhaps you need to have a cream base cleanser to remove it. It is recommended to be used for occasions. And please remember that regardless of its resistance the makeup is not tattooed to the skin it is still fragile and will be removed if you touch your face and get careless with it.

What color lipstick should I be wearing?
Figure-out your favorite tones by checking your wardrobe and your general interest in colors (cool or warm). We can place you in one of the two categories of colors below. Hey, you may even choose both! Do not forget that if you are trying to achieve a pale lip look, you must cover the natural color of your lips by applying some foundation on it. Then line it and use your lipstick over it.

She chose warm:

BRIGHT WARM TONES: Suitable for individuals with smaller lips or those who simply wish to make their lips look larger and fuller. Bright warm tones would be: Orange- Red Orange- Gold - Copper- Warm Beige or Cream and Caramel.
DEEP WARM TONES: Suitable for any one with medium to larger lips to keep lips not looking too extreme. Deep warm tones would be Yellow Browns- Orange Browns- Mahogany- Deep Warm Reds and Chocolate color.
She chose cool:

BRIGHT COOL TONES: If you like cool colors and you wish to show your lips larger and fuller go for these colors: Fuchsia- Magenta- Cool (Pink) Reds- Lilacs and Pinks.
DEEP COOL TONES: So you like the cool tones better and you have the lip size to carry deeper tones. Then you could go for: Cool Browns and Taupe- Plums - Deep Purples and Blue tone Burgundy.


So we got all the "proper" choices down, however when it comes to fashion and In-Style there are no rules. So go ahead and look fabulous and trendy if you wish. I must say that if you have small set of lips you should stay away from any deep and dark colors since these shades only reduce the size of your lips. However if you have a good size lips you may feel free to use any color but be careful with the bright tones you do not want to look like just a set of lips walking. You know what I mean!
