How to Make The Perfect Eyeliner

Today we will show you how to perfect the eyeliner in order to get that sexy look 


As you can see, in the tutorial picture we already have our eye shadows applied, but if you wish you can put them on afterwards and repeat the eyeliner – it depends on your own technique. If you are unsure of your ability to put on eyeliner, I would suggest you to apply the shades later, because there will be a lot of cotton bud usage!



So, as a start, you start your eyeliner from the corner of the eye, making the cat eye twist first. Then you make another line, connecting your upper and lower lid. When you are done with that, all you need to do is fill the uncolored area between the two lines and you are done!

How to turn a Gorgeous Braid into a Pretty Bun

If you suffer from frizzy hair, straighten or tame it using your own methods, but remember to keep it healthy.


  • Start braiding your hair on the two sides of your head. Do not braid your whole hair, just two big front locks of it, as shown on the picture.
  • Tie the two braids on the bag of your head.
  • Twist your hair as shown on the picture, so that you get a big, pretty bun at the end of the two braids.

  • This hairstyle is perfect for a special occasion like a wedding or a cocktail, but also for a casual picnic on Sunday afternoon! You can use some hairspray over it after it is done for maximum long effect.

How to accessorize your hair this summer


Hair accessories are believed to be the fastest way to achieve pretty summer hair this season that would give a great final finish to one's night out ensembles. 


Hair stylist Pernia Qureshi said that nothing could add an extra spring or summer twist to their hairstyle like a pretty hair accessory.

Rod Anker, Creative Director of Monsoon Salon and Spa said that clips were also their solution on a bad hair day. For example, one could just make a messy bun on top of their head and fasten a couple of clips on the side.


Anker further said that putting in too many things at once will not only make one look like a fashion victim, it will also damage their hair if the pins and barrettes were too tight and therefore, he would suggest one should opt for elastic hair bands.

How to curl hair with a straightener


Have you had your hair curled with a flat iron at the salon, only to have it fall flat by the time you get home? Now, you can recreate this look yourself by following some simple steps: 


Make sure your hair is brushed through.



If you have a heat-protecting serum at home, place a small amount of it on your palm and apply to your hair, working from root to tip. This will help prevent heat from damaging the hair.
Clip up the top layers of your hair, and begin with the bottom. Remove a small section of hair that has been clipped up. Place the lower part of the sectioned hair between the plates, twist it over one of the plates, and close the straightener.


Slowly pull your hair through the straightener until all of it has passed between the two hot plates. The slower you pull, the more defined the curl will be.
Wrap the curled hair around your finger to help define the curl. After pulling your finger out of the curled hair, use a hair spray on the curls, so that the curl lasts.

How to get rid of dark circles


Dark circles can really make you look lethargic. But it's only a few simple things to follow that can help you get rid of them


The first place you body starts to show the side effects of stress is under your eyes, where your skin is the thinnest, in the shape of dark circles. And you might think once you get those unwanted dark circles, it is a tough job to get rid of them. But it takes only a few basic precautions to mend the damage. Here's how to do it.

Problem area



Dark circles are one of the most common symptoms that your body is not getting enough of what it requires. And they can result due to various factors like fatigue, stress, dehydration, poor circulation, inflammation, poor genes or melanin accumulation. Though it's easy to fix them, little care is necessary.


How to tackle it



If dehydration is causing you dark circles, then you would want to increase the moisturizing quotient in your skin. You can use green tea bags and sliced cucumber as they help in cooling off the skin. Potatoes, that contain enzymes called catalase, can help in lightening the dark circles. Vitamin C intake will also help in discoloration. Drinking a lot of water or other healthy fluids always helps to better your skin.

7 ways to look stunning

Discover your true self


Look great by figuring out who you truly are and work with what you have, instead of trying to be someone else. Find out what are the things that you like doing, what you like wearing etc. Once you strike the right chord with yourself, the path will be easy for you.


Gain confidence



Improving your appeal is not only about making others see you as a s


exy person. It is how you feel about yourself. To do this, you need to look within. Engage in activities which you feel will make you sexy. It could be anything from learning a new language, taking up a new dance form or travelling alone.

Find out your style



At times, it is easy to get carried away and ape someone blindly. But when you figure out what suits you the best, there's nothing more exhilarating than that. Opt for something that you feel sexy in. It could be a dress, jeans and a T-shirt, sneakers, heels etc. If you think you've had a boring style till date, take a chance and go in for a makeover.


Wear make-up more often



An instant way to look your best is by sporting makeup that makes you look glamorous. Choose from a wide range of bold lipsticks in shades of reds, pinks and mauves. For your eyes, opt for the smokey eye look or the winged style of the 60s, while for your cheeks you can apply blush in shades of brown and pinks.


Get healthy



Believe it or not but looks can actually change your overall perception about yourself. If you've been lethargic till date, here's your chance to look good. Being fit does make you look more attractive. Hit the gym and start eating healthy. Make it a point to have breakfast every day before you leave for work. Have five small meals a day to ensure that your metabolism is functioning well.

Reward yourself



Remunerating yourself with every small progress that you make will definitely give a boost to your sex appeal.

Every time you achieve your targets, pamper yourself by going in for a spa treatment or going out on a dinner date with your beloved. When you reward yourself for doing things that you have decided, it keeps you motivated and also makes you look great.

Stop worrying



To make sure that you look great, stop stressing over things that are not important. Stress makes you look dull, making fine lines and wrinkles to appear on your forehead.

9 Makeup Tips That Nobody Told You About PART 8



With a few tips and tricks, you don’t have to be a professional to have fabulous looking makeup. It’s taken me years to learn my face shape, what colors flatter me, how much to apply, and how to apply it so that it looks beautiful and natural.


  1. Turn a pencil eyeliner into a gel formula with the help of a match or lighter.


Hold your black, green, burgundy, etc., kohl eye pencil (which typically creates a thin, harder-to-apply line), under the flame for one second, let it cool for 15 seconds, and then watch the consistency change right before your eyes. Finally, glide on your newly made gel liner for an instantly smudgier formula.

2. Cover your eyelid with white liner to make any eyeshadow shade pop. 


To make a sheer or less pigmented eyeshadow appear more colorful on your eyelid, take a white eyeliner pencil, like Make Up For Ever Kohl Eye Pencil in White, and run it over your entire eyelid. The opaque consistency of the liner will intensify any eyeshadow shade and make it pop instantly against your skin. (Tip via makeup artist Lauren Cosenza founder of Divalicious Blog.)

3. Draw your cat-eye first, and then fill in the open space for a perfect winged liner application every single time. 


It's much easier this way. Use this tutorial as your guide.

4. Use a spoon to create the perfect winged liner.

 


Holding the stem of a spoon against the outer corner of your eye, draw the straight line as the first step for your cat-eye. Then, flip the spoon so it's hugging your eyelid, and use the rounded outer edge to create a perfectly curved winged effect.  

5. Draw a slanted hashtag at the outer corner of your eye, and then blend it for an instantly smokey effect.

 

Left: Before; Right: After
To create a super-easy smokey eye, draw a hashtag symbol right before the outer corner of your eye and then blend it out with the smudger at the other end of your eye liner.

6. Use that same spoon to avoid mascara marks on your upper eye lid.



Hold the spoon so it's hugging your eyelid, and then apply your mascara like you normally would. As you sweep the mascara wand against your lashes and back of the spoon, watch as the residue coats the back of the utensil rather than your skin.

7. Add saline solution to a flaky mascara formula to re-wet it.  

 


You're only supposed to keep mascara for three months, because beyond that point, it can collect bacteria and lead to eye infections. However, if your mascara dries up within those three months, revive it with a couple drops of saline solution.

8. Hit your eyelash curler with a hair dryer to heat it up, so your lashes curl easier. 

 


Blowing hot air on your eyelash curler will help your lashes curl easier and stay curled longer; it works the same way heat changes the pattern of your hair and holds a curl with a curling iron. To do it, hit the lash curler with your blow dryer until it heats up, wait until it cools slightly but is still warm (you want to be sure not to burn your eyelid), and then clamp down on your lashes to curl them.

9. Dust on translucent powder in between coating on mascara to plump up your lashes.

 


The translucent powder helps grip the mascara in between coats, leaving you with fuller lashes. Try out this tip by following this tutorial

10 Makeup Tips That Nobody Told You About PART 7

We all put on makeup (at least some of the time), but is your technique yielding the best possible results?




Here, Kimberly Soane, the director of artistry at Bobbi Brown, offers up some simple pointers to make sure we're using everything from concealer to bronzer to mascara right.



Never put concealer or foundation on your eyelids as a base, it will cause your eye makeup to crease.

Use your fingers to apply your foundation if you want sheer coverage and a brush if you more polished, medium to full coverage.







Always apply powder where you are shiniest first, which it usually your T-zone, with a very light dusting everywhere else.



You should put bronzer on your neck, face, and chest to even out your skin tone. Be sure to take a step back and make sure everything is the same color.




When applying blush, first smile, then start on the apple of the cheek, blend the blush back towards the top of the ear, then down toward the jawline.


Always apply your brow pencil or powder to the upper portion of the eyebrow to lift your face up.


You want to make sure your lipstick is not too defined at your cupid’s bow (the top of your lip), and that it goes all the way out to the inner corners of your mouth. Be sure to press down hard as you apply. 



Always start with a base shadow without any shimmer that matches the lightest skin tone on your face and apply all over your lid up to the brow. You should use this base shadow to make sure the darker shadows used on your lid up to the crease are properly blended. 




Instead of looking straight ahead at the mirror, get as close to it as possible, stick your head up and bring your chin toward the mirror. You want to look down as you apply, starting at the inner corner and making sure to go all the way out to the fold on the outside of the eye.  




You don't want to do quick soft motions when you apply mascara. Instead, jam the wand into the root of the lash and do zigzag motions as you go up.
