Dealing With Breakouts

Happy New Year guys!

        My first post for the year will be on 'breakouts' and the proper ways to deal with it. As we all know, breakouts can be very frustrating and difficult to deal with especially when its on the face. No one wants to go out with a face looking all rough and people asking you whats wrong, it could be very embarrassing. I can vividly remember when I had my first serious breakout, I was so bothered that I tried various things on my face, the frustration only became worse because I was not getting the result I wanted rather it was getting worse each day and makeup could not help the situation.
        I made up my mind that I would not do anything or use anything on the face and just let it be. I did not totally ignore it because it was not just any part of my body, it was my FACE. To cut the long story short, after couple of days the breakout reduced but my face was not completely itself as the break out left dark spots. I had to get a spot remover cream to clear the spots on my face. I am sharing this, so you can learn from my mistake and seek better approaches in dealing with breakouts. It is more difficult and frustrating when it is happening for the first time.
  
Ways To Deal With Breakouts

1. Know your skin type (normal, oily, dry, sensitive, combination).
2. Avoid washing your breakouts too much because it would cause an irritation for your skin and make it even more worse.
3. Avoid trying different things on your face, you won't get any result. It would only become worse.
4. Heavy makeup should not be an option, I understand how badly you want to hide those breakouts but makeup can also irritate your skin. If you still want to wear makeup, just make sure you wash your face properly.
5. Do not touch the face or pick!
6. Consult a professional or dermatologist, don't just use anything you see on the internet. 
7. Get some facials, exfoliation done from a good spa.
8. Make sure you clean up, everything that comes in contact with your face MUST BE CLEAN. 
9. Eat healthy, drink a lot of water and excercise.
10. Be very patient, trust the process.

I hope someone gains one or two things from this post and please feel free to comment. Suggestions will be welcomed and if you want to share how you dealt with a breakout, please feel free to share. Thank you and God bless.

Eyebrows on Fleek



Everyone wants a fleeking brow, it is a good thing but one must be careful because the eyebrow is a very noticeable part of the face. You wouldn't want to go out and see people laughing and pointing fingers at you.  If you cannot define your brows well, you can always learn from someone who is good. It is not a day thing, it can be frustrating but practice makes perfect...

Products used:
1. Eyebrow pencil
2. Zaron eyebrow filler
3. Hegai & Esther brow gel
4. Milani concealer
5. Eyebrow angled brush

What color of eye shadows is best for you?




Many women can not decide which colors of eye shadows look best on them. If you are one of these women, we have compiled these guidelines here just for you. One of the main things to remember is that the color of the shade should be a few tones lighter than the color of the eyes.
The main purpose of eye shadows is to highlight the natural color of the eyes. This is why it is recommended that you use natural tones which do not contrast with the color of your iris. One of the basic rules is to choose such shades which are either a few tones darker or lighter than the color of your eyes. Never use shadows in the same color and tone as the color of your iris. For example, if you have dark brown eyes, apply some light-brown tones of shades. They will make your eyes stand out and will add more expression to them.
There are some overall rules which will make your choice easier:
  1. For blue eyes – your colors can range anywhere from lilac and violet to eggplant.
  2. For brown eyes – you can use almost any color. You can find your best colors mainly through the trial and error process.
  3. For green eyes – pale pink and reddish brown.
Combinations you should avoid
Red
Do not put red shadows over your eyelids unless you are trying to create an impression of fatigue. Even the palest red tones can have an aging effect if they are applied close to the eyes.
Too much shine
The glossy, shiny effects are suitable only for evening makeup. Use matted shadows for your day makeup.
More than one color
Sure you can use more than one color of shades, but only as long as you harmonize them correctly. Use a clean soft brush to blend each tone with the one next to it. There should be no distinguishable line between the different colors.
Use a different brush or applicator for each color you want to apply. If you use the same brush, the colors will get mixed and your makeup will look dirty.

The Best Way To Apply False Lash Strips

Hello guys..........I hope you have been finding my beautiful blog interesting and today I am going to be sharing some tips on how I apply my false lash strips. I hope you find it useful and interesting.....'winks'


                   

 Best Way To Apply False Lash Strips

1) Before applying your false lash strips, measure the false lash strip for proper fitting of the eye shape. This will avoid the end coming out of the eye or even poking into your eye, you can as well cut out the outer edge to shorten it if necessary with a small scissors.

2) With your tweezer, hold your false lash at the center or you can as well hold both ends with your hands for a while, it is easier and faster and by doing this it would reduce its straightness and make it stay on the eye without stress.

3) Apply your glue (long lasting) for long lasting results not the glue that comes with it please! make sure you put the glue properly on the false lash and make sure it touches the inner and outer corner so it does not come off when you blink your eye.

4) Before placing the false lash on to your lash line, wait for about 5 seconds or so for the glue to become sticky and you can keep blowing hair into it. This would prevent it from slipping around when you are doing placement.

5) Apply the lash directly on top of your natural lashes, not on top of your eyelid please!
then you can apply your mascara at the end so you can blend the natural lashes with the false lash, make sure it is integrated into each other.



TIP: If there is a gap showing between your natural eye lashes and the false one, don't be in a haste to pull it off all you have to do is apply your black liquid eye liner to hide any gap.

The advantages of dark skin and how to create the perfect makeup for it



Different skin tones require different approach toward finding the perfect makeup. Experts say that dark skin is more resilient and therefore more susceptible to decorative cosmetics. Thanks to its higher content of pigments, dark skin is able to better resist the elements. Use the guidelines listed below to help you highlight your skin color.
Foundation
Foundation is the most important part of your makeup and consequently of your whole image. In order to avoid creating the opposite effect and making your face look unnatural, the color of your foundation needs to be only one tone darker than your complexion.
Eyes
Accentuate the eyes. You can confidently pull off dark blue grey, black and brown. Dark colors will complement your complexion. If you’re creating evening makeup you can finish it off with a little bit of shine.
Lips
Dark skin can look amazing with brown or strawberry colored lips. Other good colors for you are: coffee, chocolate, gold, pale pink and beige.
Blush
Blush is the last touch to the perfect makeup. You will have to be very careful in selecting it. Peach nuances are not appropriate for dark complexions, but oranges, corals and pinks are perfect.
